The fact that folks still remember stuff like this, is exactly why I like to be as up front and transparent as possible about all our costs, donations, and where each and every penny comes from and goes. I try and warn folks ahead of time so they don't panic over expected outages and keep them up to date on our status with everything.
Hopefully, folks seeing that *this* part of the bill is now paid up for the next FIVE years, will help reassure them that we aren't planning on going anywhere anytime soon. Our server storage/data costs are still paid up for another year, so there's nothing to worry about there for the short term, and our Patreon donations are *almost* to the point to cover that cost completely. I'd still like to get one or two more Patreons to help cover inevitable inflation increases and what not, but even without those, I'm certain the community will come together and make up any shortfall with one time donations like they've done several times before already.
Don't worry guys. The "Hello World" isn't ending, even if the forums here disappear in some odd occurance somewhere. (Ha ha! I stole Pete's punny!) The Phoenix Edition is here to stay for quite some time and isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future as long as I have anything to say about anything whatsoever.
