The website i3pep.org * india point is nearing completion of five long years. And it is still existing. Five years may be short or long duration, but its meaning-fullness is reflected by the site having over one hundred entries, which are informative and scholarly.
When I had initially launched the website, I had never thought that it would continue for five years! But maintaining the website and writing on it has been a great learning experience.
For past few months the website could not be updated due to important works in the real world that took up the time, and hardly left with time or energy to spend over what is largely a hobby website. Despite of this, the website kept on its existence and from the server logs, it was quite evident that users found it useful. Even the bookmark rate of the site has increased to a high level.
Also, the site received large number of emails regarding advice and suggestions, which showed that the site has its own niche.
One change that was done in the meantime, was the Contact Page, where the email form was removed. Due to large number of spam, this became necessary. However the same would be revived sometime in the future, using some form of captcha tool. But for the time being the users can always directly send email from their own email-id.
The site would again be maintained on a regular basis, with informative and scholarly articles. As always, the site would remain ad-free.
Another thing that is to be done is integration of Google Apps with this website, which would be done shortly. This would also make available email with large inbox for the members / users of the website.
