Earlier this afternoon, Brooklyn Junction noticed that the Web site for Flatbush Life was down:
No one ever accused www.flatbushlife.com of being the most regularly updated website in the world. Coming from me, that doesn’t mean much these days. But gone? Say it ain’t so.
At first, the Flatbush Life Web site was responding with “404 – Not Found.” Shortly after, it was redirecting to an unfamiliar Web site: YourNabe.com. I contacted the Webmaster for courierlife.net and got this response:
www.flatbushlife.com [is] redirecting to the newly-designed www.yournabe.com. www.YourNabe.com combines the newspapers of the Courier Life publications, Times Ledger publications, and Bronx Times/ Times Reporter.
The YourNabe.com domain is owned by Courier-Life’s parent company, News Community Newspapers Holdings, Inc. Within YourNabe, there are sections for different neighborhoods. For example, the new URL for Flatbush Life is http://www.yournabe.com/flatbush/front/.
All Web sites for Courier-Life Publications‘ Brooklyn neighborhood newspapers are affected by this change:
- Bay News
- Bay Ridge Courier
- Brooklyn Graphic
- Canarsie Digest
- Flatbush Life
- Kings Courier
- Park Slope Courier
- Brooklyn Heights Courier
- Carroll Gardens / Cobble Hill Courier
- Fort Greene / Clinton Hill Courier
