First up.. this is not a call for donations.

Without going into the personal details as to why: I don't have the energy to give this place the attention it needs, and I'm no longer willing to cover the majority of running costs.

I don't have a fully fledged solution to this, and don't have the energy to come up with one. The best I can come up with is I hand the reins over to Nath, and some sort of community funding is set up to cover costs.

If anyone knows of above board methods to establish a crowd funded piggy bank for something like this, I'm all ears.

Big thanks Lodion for setting this place up and running it. I understand the mental and financial load it brings. No judgement for stepping away. I hope whatever is going on in your life is made easier by doing so ❤️

This community is certainly a pleasant corner of the internet which is a true rarity.

Nath, big thanks too for putting your hand up for running things. If it's getting too much and you need a break or helping hand don't keep quiet. Appreciate the way you've both done the post.

I've got strong dislike for small monthly payments but if I can do a once off I'll throw some dollarydoos at it and probably again in a year or two. Please announce when a suitable option is chosen.
