Bulletin: Old Ones Dream Shutdown
The Plug is Pulled — www.oldonesdream.com is mapped here and posts that have been appearing at the old site will be here, but not all at once.
Typepad, the web publishing platform for my blog “Old Ones Dream,” notified me on August 27th that after September 30, 2025, access to Typepad – including account management, blogs, and all associated content – will no longer be available. They are shutting down. My account and all related services will be permanently deactivated. After that date, I will no longer be able to access or export any of my work at “Old Ones Dream.”
My ongoing project to move my work from Typepad to Substack has been methodical and systematic to date:
All of my new work has been done at Substack since November 14, 2024.
I have been moving some of my posts at “Old Ones Dream” (Typepad) to Substack and notifying subscribers and followers of the move.
Others of the posts at “Old Ones Dream” I have moved to Substack quietly.
But this changes everything. I thought I saw evidence that Typepad was “circling the drain” but I hoped it would not happen this soon. I have 30 days to safely archive every one of well over 100 posts that are still at www.oldonesdream.com and continue to move the posts to Substack. It will be done systematically but not without “broken links” and “page not found” errors because I cannot complete the entire task by the Typepad kill date.
Thank you for your understanding. Please excuse the inconvenience. Please don’t hesitate to notify me of the errors when you see them. The impact of this will be whelming but not overly so.
