For designers, wallbase.cc is no stranger. In China, there are countless pictures of resources, but also mixed. Ubiquitous advertising and difficult to guard the window is a stumbling block, and the complex integration system and the endless collection of fees and charges are visitors have to face the barriers. By contrast, the image quality of HD Gallery station Wallbase is entirely the industry's conscience. Excellent set has been in the micro-blog and the site on a number of recommendations, a good user experience + good taste + high-definition uncensored Large map + high frequency update =wallbase, encounter the major domestic photo gallery after the baptism of the designer, the first time it will indeed be tears.

However, a good product is also a person to make out. Last August, after the new version of Wallbase, Wallbase's owner Yotoon a message to team members in the Forum informing them that he was ill and in poor health. At that time Wallbase just upgraded to the fourth version, the function is not perfect, the picture upload function has not done well, the website page also has many not to add on. In Yotoon last message, he said he will strive for an early return, continue to improve this version, let Wallbase perseverance to go on. However, after this post, is a long silence, Yotoon never get in touch with everyone. Shortly thereafter, the previous website forum was also completely removed.

Since Yotoon is the sole developer, top administrator and domain owner of the Web site, wallbase team members have become anxious after they have lost the alliance. No one has received his message in IRC, searching through his email address yotoon other contact information. People began to worry about the physical condition of yotoon, and some people began to propose conspiracy theories, and many of them wept over their anxieties and long waits.

In the second half of 2013, users and designers from all over the world can still look for their favorite images in Wallbase. And we do not know, the site behind, but the Wallbase team is the most anxious, the most helpless 5 months. Although Yotoon for the Web server advance money, domain name has been renewed to 2015 years, but we can not from Yotoon long silence to see the future.

Finally, in December 2013, the team and wallbase several regulars decided to develop a separate website, Yotoon in the days of absence, will wallbase continue, this is what we see today wallhaven.cc. Wallbase data will be migrated gradually, the function and design will continue to the previous settings, and still for all the world's wallpaper enthusiasts and designers to serve, instead of slowly into the void of the wallbase.

Today, wallbase users from all over the world commemorate this once coolest HD gallery and Yotoon on Facebook and Twitter. Wallbase old user Mathieu Mrdco message:

Wallbase's member, Lezboyd, also wrote on Facebook, writing down his heartfelt words:
