Yesterday was intense for everyone. Some quick updates as of last night:

  • A large amount of the sitemod team has stepped away from the project. Other comrades from the community have volunteered to pitch in and been modded.
  • Some core devs also stepped away from the project. For the time being, you should not expect any further development of new features or bug fixes as we reassess our capacity.
  • Main has been locked. No immediate plans to unlock.
  • Registration is closed and will remain so for the time being.

We 100% understand and support everyone who left yesterday and are also looking forward to the next stage of Hexbear.

We're probably not going to be making any additional announcements or formal communication until after the weekend at the earliest. Thanks.

    Yup. Part of what we're evaluating is whether we as group of volunteers can provide the labor necessary for the site and its community. Administering a site this size is a lot more work than any of us realized at the beginning.

    If we feel like the ask is too much, then we'll be stepping away. A number of people have already decided that.

    We don't blame folks for communicating what they need and also if we can't / aren't willing to do that than we also have every right to discontinue investing our labor and time.

    That's not intended as a spiteful statement, just more of a reiteration of the dynamic here. It goes both ways.

        We'll try stuff out before pulling the plug entirely, but we have no interest in creating another 4chan by inaction.

        Some of the stuff we try will likely be anarchic. There is a very big difference betweem anarchism and "no rules post pics of dead kids".

        I realize you know that and am just clarifying.
