He could hand over the servers and meta-data to someone who can host the site? You know, instead of killing such a brilliant, important piracy archive. We used this site for years and now it's dying. This is how corporations win, when we shutdown and close off all our resources, pirates are left with nothing. How many more sites needd to die before you understand the gravity of the situation? If you want to pay for Crunchyroll, be my guest.

I will be missing this site too! Where can I get translated Donghua and Anime in one easy place.
hope someone can suggest alternatives.
You guys are the best and a thousand thanks is not enough.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on this site.

You're looking for something trivial like this, going to work there, unemployed!

Sites need someone to manage them though - they don't really just "run themselves". You can have different levels of involvement, but it's never really zero.
Even a pure community group on some third-party managed website needs management (unless you don't care for any moderation whatsoever).

I must have been blind.
Thank you for pointing me to your contact form!
I just sent you a message.

I mainly meant as a way to keep the site operational after your departure. But, I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than organizing a community group to keep it running when things break.

The idea is, since it's mostly automated, turn it into an anonymous self-run site with minor intervention when needed. You can depart and stop, and the community would take on the responsibility.

I know it's not likely possible (since setting up a community is extremely difficult) or will happen, but it's just sad when quality parts of the internet die off.

You can post here, or if you really don't want others to see it, go here.

I could not find a way to contact the admin directly.
Would someone please point me to the correct contact?

The updates process here is pretty much all automated already.
As for 'community run', I'm not sure how that'd work exactly. If it's basically people manually reuploading from torrents with associated metadata, I'm sure someone could set up a forum to accomplish that. It wouldn't be what this site does though.

As a hypothetical ... what would it take to change this site to community run or automated?

Is it money? Logistics?
