I guess i understand why but its a sad time. Weve had it good for too long. Thanks for the effort you put in Peter.

@mrfigg After suggestions from my friend, @Thor — who along with @GregJazz have always been just amazing, encouraging friends that both encouraged me to attempt to play music again, then to start LinkedMusicians, I have a plan to keep the community together. Running LinkedMusicians as a social media platform, forum, and content site, as well as the emails, is more than a full-time job. And the duty to keep the deals up was the part that made it completely exhausting. There’s also  the kind of cyber attacks, the bogus DCMA removal request I dealt with last month, the legal requirements for a social media sites, the email — plus the costs of the high powered server were on. While I have a contract that runs until January, if this is just a resource site, I no longer need a server with 16 CPU, and 16 GB RAM, so I won’t be facing anywhere near the same costs and the subreddit is free to run.

Thor just suggested Discord, but candidly, I really find Discord a mess. What I would love to do is to move our social group back to an excellent platform, at our subreddit. I really should have planned this out. At the subreddit, we can keep everyone together, I can share deals occasionally, you can post deals when you feel like it, and it’s actually the ideal place to grow the community. I can use LinkedMusicians as a place to store resources, like freebie lists or best of lists that we make in the subreddit.
