Administrator's silence and signs of decline fuel speculation about the future of the popular website creation platform.

Xtgem.com, one of the most well-known and long-standing Vietnamese-origin platforms for creating wap and web sites, has surprised its global community by abruptly closing new user registrations. The change, implemented without prior notice, prevents new members from joining the platform, limiting access only to those who already have an account.

As of now, visitors attempting to access the registration page are met with the inability to create a new account. Only the login form remains functional, ensuring, for the time being, that existing users can continue to manage their sites and projects.

What exacerbates the uncertainty is the complete silence from the administration. Mr. Graham, the well-known lead administrator of Xtgem, has not issued any official statement to justify the decision. There is no clarification on the platform's news page, its official forum, or its social media channels like Facebook or Twitter, where'''' communication was already scarce.

Signs of Decline and the Ghost of the Past

However, this move does not come in a vacuum. Veteran users had already been reporting that the platform was showing "some flaws in its services and handling" for some time. The lack of significant updates and the absence of communication are other factors fueling the concern. A telling fact is that the last post on Xtgem's official Facebook page dates back to 2018, a clear sign of abandoning communication with its user base.

The situation evokes memories of the recent past in the world of mobile site creation platforms. Many users are drawing a direct parallel to the fate of services like Wapka and Waplog, which once dominated the "wapsite" creation market. Both platforms followed a similar trajectory: gradual decline, technical glitches, a lack of updates and communication, and finally, a shutdown that left thousands of users without access to their content.

The question lingering in the air is inevitable: Is Xtgem heading down the same path to the end of the line?

For the thousands of users who still maintain their blogs, forums, and personal sites on the platform, the concern is palpable. Closing new registrations is often seen as the first step toward discontinuing an online service, as it signals an end to growth and investment in the platform's future. While the community anxiously awaits a clarification that could dispel the doubts, the future of Xtgem remains an unknown. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary measure to resolve technical issues or, as many fear, the beginning of the end for another giant of the wap era.
