Damn. But of course it's entirely right that a volunteer-run site should give its first priority to those volunteers. They owe us nothing and, indeed, all good things must come to an end, eventually. Particularly in a much more turbulent climate.
But it's such a shame. The site was competently run, technically. And the public visibility undoubtedly helped in a way that perhaps a mailing list couldn't. I'd be devestated to see the whole thing go up in smoke, turn to dust. I hope the content is somehow archived as a testament to the community. While I love mailing lists and archiving them is easy, they don't have quite the same outreach; hopefully, some sort of sequel is imagined, perhaps a hybrid of both forum and list, which gives the users of both something to be happy about. Groups.io isn't too bad, but something self-hosted would be better. Maybe Discourse, or something like it. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
