I’ve spent the last 20 minutes reading the Reddit thread about us closing, and I’ll be honest—I have tears in my eyes. After everything we’ve done and how long we’ve lasted, it’s heartbreaking to see so much hate directed at the people who have dedicated years of their lives to making sure this community had a place to find and share files. No one on this team deserves that.
I want to be clear: I’ve never felt that we owed anyone anything, just as I’ve never felt we were owed anything in return. What we’ve done has always come from a place of passion, not obligation. But seeing the negativity hurts—because this team has poured so much into this, and it feels like all of that is being overlooked.
I know there’s a lot we’ve built here, and I understand that some of it might never be shared again. Many of the files are exclusive, tied to authors and creators who are no longer around. But what I want you all to know is this: I am not a quitter. I refuse to just walk away from everything we’ve built without trying to find a resolution. I’m working on it, and I’ll do everything I can to protect what this community has meant to so many people.
Thank you to those who have stood by us and shown support. It means more than I can express right now. We have some thinking to do, but we’ll keep you posted.
