General Discussion / Re: How are you guys holding up?
« Last post by Quemaqua on Monday, January 05, 2026, 12:57:25 PM »Well 2026 sure didn't waste any time getting fucking started, did it.
I'm not doing especially great with all this. Kind of funny that we're talking about sunsetting the site, which undoubtedly has some posts from a billion years ago when I considered myself rather on the other side of the aisle. Which feels incomprehensible to me, but given how I was raised, I was fairly conservative for 2/3 or so of my life. Now I'm just about as far in the other direction as you can fucking get. Regardless, this admin has taken a huge toll on my sanity and financial resources. Nothing like actively watching billionaires destroy all your support systems and ruin your economy until you can't get work or afford health insurance.

This place has served us well for a long time but even I don't really check it regularly anymore since we've got the Discord. I've considered a variety of options given the state of the world, including using a self-hosted FOSS option either for forums or a Discord-like server, since those exist, but we've got a year to see how everyone feels about stuff and if anyone's got suggestions.

Pyro and I have covered the costs of renewing this site's domain for the coming year. This led to conversations about the state of the forum, the sharp decline in activity, and how we proceed going forward. The cost, while not obscene, is still significant for the small amount of activity here that is currently generated. A friend of the forum has actually been bankrolling the hosting of this site since 2020 without actually being a member. It is not fair for him to continue with that burden. The majority of Overwritten-related traffic has been happening at our Discord server for a number of years now. If you are not a member of the Overwritten Discord server and would like to join, here is an invite: https://discord.gg/fgXCk99 This link does not expire.
For now, the plan is to operate as normal until the next domain renewal is due. At that time we will dump a copy of the website and sunset it. The plan is to find a way to make it accessible to everyone as a resource. Alternatively, if someone would like to volunteer to fund the continued upkeep of this site so that it remains active, please speak up. If you have any other ideas, we'd love to hear those as well.
As we have just renewed, we have roughly one year to share contact information, save pictures, make alternate plans, etc.
It's been a good run, but I believe most of us would agree this forum has run its course.
