Anyone know if thereā€™s really is a risk that if orenwolf doesnā€™t anonymize my account before the shut down, it wonā€™t happen?

He made it pretty clear that it cannot be done after the shut down.
Message Sekhmet maybe? The goddess has been listening closely to our supplications

I was sad at the announcement. Actively upset when I went and checked what passes for discourse there on SuS

Popped over to this usually sleepy place hoping to see a few favs and found an active effort to preserve so much of our community. With @LockeCJ and the lovely regulars here ready to offer us a place. It was a balm.

BB helped keep me sane thru COVID. Rather, the people there did. Iā€™m grateful we can have a place here.

I gave Orenwolf nearly 24 hours. Heā€™s gotta be swamped; not blaming him. And possibly each anonymization hurts him a bit; if so Iā€™d expect him to get to them slowly.

Sekhmet sorted it out in under 20 minutes.

Trying to get an archive of my account before it goes poof.

I forgot to get my archive. The only thing I should have grabbed was a couple of recipes. Oh well.

Must be using a pent-antarcti-gram.

I believe that was my last post. I made it clear that I understood the consequences, so I didnā€™t even get an ā€œare you sure?ā€ response.

Iā€™m still on death watch over there. It was the first and until now the only place online where I participated and connected. I was not one of the cool kidsā€”hell, Iā€™m a 50-something cis-het white woman, not childless though lol, with a much more interesting past than present and futureā€”yet I felt I was at least peripherally part of a community there. I suppose for that reason Iā€™m not looking away as the last posts dwindle.

Same. I donā€™t know why, but I tend to be one of the last ones at the party. Itā€™s been so long, I feel like I need to be there when it ends. Maybe that will help me let it go, maybe it wonā€™t, I donā€™t know.
