Aint it cool mail shutting down

Ain't It Cool News (AICN) is indeed shutting down after 25 years of operation. The website, founded by Harry Knowles in 1996, was a pioneering online destination for movie news, reviews, and discussion.

The news was announced on the site earlier this week, with Knowles stating that the decision to shut down was due to a combination of factors, including declining ad revenue, increased competition, and the challenges of maintaining a large and complex website.

AICN was known for its irreverent and often humorous take on the film industry, as well as its extensive coverage of genre movies, including science fiction, horror, and comic book adaptations. The site also hosted a large and active community of fans, who would often engage in lively discussions and debates about the latest movies and TV shows.

While AICN is shutting down, its archives will remain available online, allowing fans to continue to access and enjoy the site's vast library of content.
