No reason to panic, thanks to Jarland, but users should consider migrating.

Hey friends,

When we took over MyW it was to save it from a death that was coming with so little warning that data loss was guaranteed before you could migrate out. We weren't entirely certain how we would move forward with the hosting provider. All that we knew was that we weren't going to let everyone lose their data with virtually no warning, and we would figure out the rest as we went. Today we're letting you know that MyW will be permanently closing on July 1, 2025. At that date all customer data will be permanently deleted and will not be recoverable. The billing database containing your information will be deleted just the same, there will remain no record or backup of MyW (at least not any made by us). We are not entertaining any offers for acquisition of the brand, nor any ideas for keeping it running. It has been on life support and it is most fair to you that it be buried properly rather than passed around like a toxic asset.

We also know that many MySQL databases on WDE1 are corrupted after an abusive user on the server generated over 1TB of logs and filled the disk to 100%. It is unlikely that this will ever work better than it is working right now. There is no available time or funding to focus on repairing anything that is wrong with MyW, it will be severely neglected for the remainder of it's life. Please do not have reasonable expectations of it's support, as that will also be neglected. I understand that sounds bad. Fiction always sounds better. I don't deal in fiction.

Kind Regards,
Jarland
