Neoworx Ends Blog Services

My long standing visitor counter, Neoworx, has gone out of business.  This was a great visitor counter, as it showed visitors currently online by country, as well as a cumulative total of all visitors, by country, since first installed.  It was becoming more and more expensive, but I stuck with it in spite of this.  I have replaced Neoworx with the standard, and free, revolvemaps.  It will start over counting at zero visitors.

Neoworx was not my oldest visitor counter -- that would be statcounter, which shows the actual count since the blog was started in 2006.

Here's the email I received from help@neoworx.com:

Dear user,
It saddens me to inform you that after 9 years of services, I am stopping my web counter activity.
The shift from blogs to social networks and the overwhelming competition of free services has dramatically decreased my customer base to the point where I can no longer pay for the hosting of my servers.
I will do my best to refund you pro rata of the time elapsed since your last payment. Please wait for an email from the designated company liquidator.
I thank you wholeheartedly for the interest you have shown in my products during all these years. It was a great adventure for me.
Please find here-after your most recent visitor count. I am sure that you will find a suitable replacement for my counters.
