Room 208 interactive services are shutting down after April 2019

Long story short: As user activity dwindles, the maintenance burden and security risks are no longer worth it. Thus, come next April:

• The EsperNet instance of Omnipresence will be shut down, along with the channel transcript viewer and statistics.

• The #yackfest QDB and the nightmare of fabrication, the Room 208 wiki, will be converted to read-only archives. Since static pages are cheap to serve, I plan to keep them online indefinitely, as with the existing Omnibooru dumps.

Since Omnipresence has not been under active development for some time, I recommend chanops switch to a different bot instead of starting their own Omnipresence instance, though I cannot suggest any particular bot as a replacement.

Any further questions can be directed to me on IRC or Twitter. Cheers!

And don’t let the door hit you on the way out

After ages of complaining about Tumblr, I finally went and did something about it. This is something I hacked up in a couple of hours using Tumblr’s JSON export and a static site generator. Maybe someday I’ll post the source code.

You know where to complain if something’s broken.

New look, same great taste
