That is up to Brian & Justin.

It is a very delicate pile of scripts that each rely on eachother, thus using any of the existing code after the fact would be a waste of time (especially with frameworks out there today). With the way the community has pivoted towards twitch I really think someone could build something simple and sweet to accomplish keeping the community organized and have a nice streaming area with relevent links to all the new things that exist now.
 
If you are interested in that please reach out to them and not me right away. They are in charge, and will figure out what the future will be for the domain.
 
What's the timeline for all of this?
 
I am not closing stuff today. I'd like to close things within two months, but I'm not pulling the rug out from things quite yet.

You guys are some of the most generous people I have ever met and have a pleasure of knowing. Just know that I am not disappearing from the internet, changing my name and running... I just am not around a lot. I will be sure to shut down the patreon once the server bills are shut off. I love all you!

Maybe something down the road but right now I have no immediate plans. Maybe someday I'll finish that ahoy.fm thing and do an occasional podcast there... But that's a pipe dream at the moment and nothing has really been started.
