Retired

Good-bye, cruel world.

6words is retiring.

It pats itself on the back, complimenting itself on having been a nice idea.

You may all remove the cute links without fear of repercussion.

Kim wonders whether authors would like their pieces left up, in the hollowed out shell of what 6words was, left here on the net, or deleted?

As an afterthought, Kim adds that she just meant that to sound silly, not snotty or pouty. Just silly. :)
