Wikigogy is C L O S E D Wikigogy saw little action. So I closed it. It had been an interesting two years with some spurts of generous content writing from a handful of people. However, most months had seen no activity except spam bot fighting. Wikigogy -- Closed as of August, 2008 -- was a networking Web site for teachers of English as a second or foreign language. Site may be removed soon. For now to fight spam efficiently Wikigogy will periodically be reverted to its August, 2008 state. Comments about the site closure are welcome on the Main page. --Roger 14:47, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
