Does Anyone Know What Happened To Nonags?

well, shoot, another good site ( nonags.com ) went away. i really liked them.
in one sense, i am posting this here, so that when other people do a search, like i just did, this post will show up in the search results, and people might discover that majorgeeks is a trusted place to get their software.
sigh.... oh well...

interestingly, that was the page i saw ( when i did my search ) that gave me the idea about a post at majorgeeks.
because there were a couple of replies that asked if anyone knew of a trusted place to get software.
anyway, the other interesting link i found during my search was:

a very nice article indeed!!
toodles.

 

Never heard of Nonags, that I recall anyway.

True that. I rarely get software from anywhere other than Major Geeks. When I do need some app or other that has not been vetted by MG, I most certainly poke it with all the security sticks available here once the needed app is downloaded from elsewhere.

Been lurking around here since 2005, and have not found a better collection of software or better forum anywhere else on the web.

 

Hi all!
NoNags went way back before the mid nineties I think and even outlasted Moochers. They curated their content really well, although there were no forums. Sure would have been an inspiration for sites like MajorGeeks at least.
Pity how it ended after such a long time- not even a 404.php from the hosters with a few words in memoriam. Hope it doesn't end like that for MajorGeeks!

 

Anybody know who the owner was that operated NoNags? Would love to send a positive message to the owner and thank him.

 

Try archive.org, for to find old web pages.

 

Oh dear.

Internet Archive is slow anyway. I use it to view archived 50's 'Variety' pages. And the speed is so terrible.

 

Steve Jenkins, after selling NoNags, shifted his focus to other projects, including his personal blog and various business ventures, but it went on for a while after he sold it. The exact reasons for its shutdown weren’t publicized, but the site’s inactivity and eventual disappearance suggests it couldn't keep up with the changing software landscape. The website eventually just went offline.
