Well, I went to the floating Island just to check on the site to find this:
After some immense thinking, I have finally decided to discontinue “The Floating Island.” I honestly do not have much time for the site anymore, as new paths begin to open for me. Future plans for TFI consisted of moving to a new server, MP3 downloads, and other interesting features. It is a waste of money paying for a host, when I will update rarely. Other considerations were added as well.
We do not have a very large ‘staff.’ Only Mike (Knux56K) and I evenly work on the site, which is at a very slow pace. Previous recruits refused to put in an honest effort. Lack of publicity fails to make TFI a known community. Not to mention there are other well-done Sonic sites around. We could not measure their duration in work, time, and interaction.
So I leave it to them to enlighten your “Sonic the Hedgehog” needs. I know this may disappoint some of you, but it’s the best option for me. The site will be lingering around… allowing you to download what you don’t have, until I completely close it. No immediate decision has come to mind on the Angel Island Jamz radio…so I’ll just keep it running for a while. And no, I do not want another webmaster maintaining the site. Saying all that, I wanted to thank everyone who supported www.thefloatingisland.com!
All of the members of the mailing list, linkers, advertisers. Anyone who contributed to this site. I enjoyed working on the site for about 3 years. If you have any questions or comments, my E-mail address remains below. We hope you had a great time here, and wish the best for you. Thank you.

So there you have it! After 3 years, the site has shut down!
