Apparently the site is still up the domain just changed, though it's noteworthy this is the international site. They could have just shut down the US one.

End of an era I guess but the last Cartoon Network show I felt was worth watching was Regular Show and I didn't like all the new stuff they had for the past decade. I think even a recent Spongebob episode made fun of Cartoon Network from a clip I saw (not that that show has any room to talk either but it was kinda funny)

The true golden era of Cartoon Network ended a long time ago sadly. Billy and Mandy, Ed, Edd and Eddy, OG Powerpuff Girls, Dexter. Those were great!

HQ is the website for Cartoon Network Africa. For that matter, there's a number of other international CN websites that have not shut down at this time: https://www.cartoonnetworkeurope.com/ (Portal for European sites)

Oh I watched it. There's just too many old shows to name. Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, yeah, there's definitely more I'm not naming.

I haven't watched Cartoon Network in over 20 years, I think Codename Kids Next Door was the last new show I saw. But it is still sad to see it go. I remember when my family got the internet, going on the website and playing browser games.

Wasn't Cartoon Network just 24 hours of Teen Titans Go? That was the last thing I ever heard about the network.

Man, what a tragedy. So many great games now scattered to archival sites if lucky.

The day David Zaslav is fired or "left of his own accord" will be one of the happiest firing/whatever excuse days of my life.

Does CN exist anymore? It strange that any brand would axe its own website. I know it is not 2005 anymore, but still most companies wish to maintain its own branding presence online Confused It be line Tesla shuts down and directs everything to X or ElonMuskForPresident.X.em or ANN shutters this website and directs to https://www.kadokawa.co.jp/

I have been speculating since they shutdown, stopping selling and removed all website information for the adult swim games that things are not looking good for the cable channel or adult swim in particular.

You know, I suspect that if the rich businesses where not propping up economy ratings, the economy would definitely be in recession (contraction). So many common people luxuries are in decline and / or raising prices to target higher end users.

Not in the literal sense but there was a time when it was scheduled almost like SpongeBob on Nickelodeon.

To be fair while this is stupid. CN hasn’t exactly been in a consistently strong position these last 17-18 years.

The Boomerang cable channel is slated to stay open as of right now. Only the separate streaming service is closing.

Really? Really!? Really!?

18 YEARS AGO was 2006 and back then CN was HUGE, It wasnt until the 2014-2015 season that things REALLY went downhill for CN and irreparably so.
