  ….has been pretty gret, aktually
  

  O hai readerz…

  We all knew this day would come eventually,
  but even still, it’s bittersweet to write this post today. After a lot
  of thinking and talking and intense brainstorming over enchiladas and
  hemming and hawing… we’ve decided to draw this chapter of
  lolsecretz.com’s life to a close. Part of us would love to continue
  making and receiving secretz forEVAR, to see what new hilarity we can
  fashion out of inscrutable kittycat memes, and to see how you, our
  wonderful readerz, can exceed the boundaries of our own imaginations
  and make us laugh over and over again.

  But mostly we want to preserve the spirit out of which lolsecretz was
  originally born – one of doubled-over laughter and playful manipulation
  of themes generated on these crazy Intrenetz; a feeling that we were
  creating something fresh, unique, and extraordinarily (and
  inexplicably) funny; a witty jab at things that we love but feel
  deserved to be parodied. Fact is, we’ve become just as repetitive as
  PostSecret at this point, and that means it’s time to go. We honestly
  never, ever expected lolsecretz to become the hit that it did; at the
  peak of the site’s popularity, it was seeing thousands upon thousands
  of hits per day; we got attention from numerous media websites that we read (!); and there’s even been talk of a book deal…

  Quitting at the top of your game… kinda like Seinfeld did (and Will & Grace didn’t).  Props to you..  kthxbai!!!!1
