Good morning! Today is November 7. Tomorrow appears to be Crunchy's last day, November 8.
Today, I woke up to find Crunchy's first abuse report in my email. I logged in to the Crunchbits panel to check. Here is what I found:
The alleged source IP is Crunchy's IP.
The alleged Destination IPs all seem to be within a range related to an ISP in the Phillippines.
A definitive way to resolve the abuse issue might be to shut Crunchy down a day early. Everyone already knows about the end date tomorrow and probably everyone who needs Crunchy data already has migrated their data to a safe place. Of course, everyone also has backups. If I shut Crunchy down, then the responsibility is mine, and Crunchbits doesn't need to take any heat which might accrue if Crunchbits went ahead and suspended Crunchy service because of the abuse.
Notably the abuse also gives Crunchbits an excellent reason not to provide the Ryzen replacement for Crunchy.
For the above reasons, sadly, I am going to go ahead and shut Crunchy down.
If anyone needs some extra help, please let me know.
Thanks to @crunchbits for beautiful Crunchy! Thanks to all the guys who have been using Crunchy! Thanks to @babywhale for BashVM!

Hello November! Final week begins today! Thanks to @crunchbits for beautiful Crunchy!
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
It is also the final few days before we know if this planet is doomed.
The all seeing eye sees everything...
Thank goodness you mentioned " Final Week " and not " Finals Week ".. was almost tempted to hit the books. Now I can hit the bar to celebrate.
