Opened in in May of 1995. The DataLounge website will be shutting down at the end of the month as per postings on their forum.
The DataLounge was launched by Mediapolis, Inc and contents included gay-oriented news, gossip, pointless bitchery, links to other sites/services, and editorial content. (Plus also many posts about Celebrity Penis Size.)
DataLounge has approximately 6.5 million page views each month, according to its webmaster.
The “official” announcement will be made on Wednesday.
Check it out while you sill have the chance!

Mediapolis has made no official announcements about this matter. You are relying on a user’s post who is neither a confirmed representative nor an employee of Mediapolis. DL is also quite popular for it’s troll posters and threads. I think this article’s been hastily written with no substantial basis.
I agree with Cak N Graxy.
Especially since the same troll posts the same “Datalounge is closing” thread several times a year.
Yeah, you’ve been had by a troll.
I’ll believe this when I see it. What a load of crap.
Guess what’s still up and running? That’s right, Datalounge.
Next time don’t write a story based on an anonymous social media post…your “impeccable” sourcing calls into question everything else you’ve ever written.
