Nolblog.hu was a blogging platform, primarily for readers of the leftist Hungarian newspaper Népszabadság. As of January 2016, it hosted more than 3000 blogs.
On December 31, 2015 Mworks Print Zrt. announced that nolblog.hu would be discontinued on January 31, 2016. The site got cut off at 00:28 CET on February 1, 2016.
Mediaworks did not tell the reason for the shutdown. The site was not used by many people, was not really updated in the last years, but there were often harsh conflicts between the users, causing need for the administrators to intervene. Also, there were no ads on the site, so running it was probably lossy.
Users consisted mainly of elderly people, forming a basically good community.
The site provided exporting. The exported blogs may be imported to other blogging platforms.
Archiving
user:bzc6p saved almost all of the site. But ran out of time a bit, so some, kind of static content (user avatar images, some user profiles, some image thumbnails) could not be included in this archive, but most of them are probably already present in the Wayback Machine. Also, several users deleted all their posts in the last days, so those may also be missing.
Archive files are currently being uploaded to the Internet Archive.
Record
It is not the first shutdown done by Mediaworks: they discontinued the NolTV service on June 30, 2015 – it was a video hosting service, mainly used by Népszabadság Online, but they had been using YouTube for their videos lately, so they did not find it important to keep the site up.
