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.

    Enjoy your weekend. Seriously I really think a ton of users vastly underestimate the amount of effort that goes into running a website like this, for free of all things. I still remember when an admin DM'ed me to check if I was okay after I posted about being harassed by trolls and k*rries. We need to treat these people with the respect they deserve for doing such a thing, sacrificing their free time to ensure that the website is running smoothly. If we don't we're going to turn into r*ddit 2.0. Also please send my condolences and thanks to all the devs, mods and admins, I've tried to message them all (those that left) but I'm unsure if their accounts are still active. Some of the attitudes I've seen towards the developers and admins have been very sickening, expecting someone working on the website to bend to their every will and command and not being thankful or even displaying basic human kindness and decency towards them. People expecting the site to be renamed immediately (someone actually made a post that was very condescending like that), stuff like that. Again thanks for everything, I strongly believe that we can get through this.
