Well, sort of. I was invited to host the @Netherlanders Twitter account, which is like the @Sweden account once was,

I suppose this is as good of a spot as any to note that I gave some sincere advice to Nikky Gary regarding looking for work as a young creative. This has now become an article at Adpulp.

David Burn did a proper interview here: "Åsk Wäppling’s Adland Torpedoed By “Nuisance DMCA” asking the questions that many others also wondered about, so I was happy to get to answer these publically. 

Techdirt notes that we're offline and write "Adland Shuts Down After Web Host Complies With Bullshit DMCA Notice" on Fri, Sep 27th 2019.

There is one advertising website that has been around longer than Adland has, and it is the Brazilian BlueBus site that premiered in 1995, a whole year before us. They noted the death of Adland in this article here.

The SF Egotist, another advertising blog that has been around for years reported on the demies of Adland here. "Adland shut down over DMCA takedown"

Resumé rapporterar om Adland's plötsliga nedläggning som hotar bli permanent. Det finns en arkiverad länk här.  

A site called Reclaim the Internet was the first out to report that "World’s largest and oldest commercial archive Adland taken offline after questionable DMCA claim" (archive link)

Lawyer Ron Coleman, who blogs "on the law affecting brands, the Internet & free speech" at Likelihood of Confusion noted dryly that: 

Resumé Magazine, the "Campaign" of Sweden if you will, found Kidsleepy's rant about Nike's "Dream Crazy" campaign and reported on the similarity to "Think Different".

"In Resume's weekend interview, freelance art director Åsk Wäppling talks about his constant admiration for the power of advertising, exclusion in the advertising industry and his life project Adland."

So, this online mag called curiosity made a list called "8 Resources for the advertising obsessed", and there Adland is, as number one. How delightful.
