Before this article I had never heard of this website before. So sad to see a site like this go. Like the director of the site said, I'm glad archive.org will be able to provide a carbon copy, but this quote makes it seem bittersweet:
“If it just goes into archive.org, it’s going to be there in perpetuity, but it’s not going to be changing at all,” Hohman says. “It’s not going to be the same thing, that sort of community and project that it was for ... almost 10 years.”
Here's to hoping someone with more capital than me can help keep this site afloat. I'm willing to donate what I can (read not a lot) if there is presented a greater chance of extending the service's lifetime. Considering the shutdown is already scheduled this month, I feel like my small donation would be too late unless there was a more transparent fundraiser.
