Lanyrd is a dead site walking. They were acquired by Eventbrite ~4 years ago, and haven't seen any meaningful updates since May 2014. Their social media accounts have been completely dead for two years. The site has frequent uptime and spam issues, and attempts to reach out to Eventbrite folks are met with complete silence.
And yet, it still exists, running along with juuust enough inertia to crowd out any potential replacements.
If you're reading this and work at Eventbrite: Please, lobby internally to put Lanyrd out of its misery.
- timb07 9y agoI'll be catching up with one of the Lanyrd team at a conference in a couple of weeks; I'll ask him about it.
- andrewgodwin 9y agoI can't say much on the subject, at least not without official approval, but understand that the original Lanyrd team have not forgotten about the site; asking us to fix it isn't really giving us any new information (sadly). If you want to make requests of any kind you're better off reaching out to Eventbrite directly.

- dwightgunning 9y agoInterestingly, IIRC there were only 2 people involved in the creation of the site, maybe even up to the time of the acquisition. It's a shame it's been left to languish. Seems like this should be a feature of papercall.io which seemingly has a more obvious path to sustainable revenue.
