As some may have noticed, URLy Party has had no updates for a couple of months now. While I had the intention of continuing with daily updates, I ran out of good material (URLs) for the site. From now onwards, there might be a drop here and there, but likely not daily updates. I hope this clarifies things, and that the expectations are lowered but not gone.
