To whom it may concern,
I'm leaving this statement behind as the now former community manager of Cheeseformice.

The project has always been a volunteer-run project, and, as such, it does not have the potential to run without the involvement of a team of maintainers to keep it staying afloat. It was a heavy project, being maintained only by a single developer, for whom it was an unjustifiable, unrewarding workload, and any searches for secondary maintainers turned out futile as nobody with high enough potential to sustain the service wanted to take it on, which is why he departed the project.

This would not be a significant blow to Cheeseformice, everything was still operational and would continue to do so until it broke, however. The factor that spelled its demise was its owner and hoster, who, after having transferred the service from external servers to servers of his own company, ended up going AWOL and at some point ended up not paying the bills, betraying anyone who trusted the integrity of his services, corrupting Cheeseformice and ending up having all its data lost.

To any team that desires to assemble to take on a Cheeseformice project reborn from the ashes, I kindly invite you to do so. We are not going to turn you away if you come seeking our help, but we are not going to join you either. You won't have to build the service from the ground up, all the code is open-source and available, should anyone want to resume work on it.

To any CFM user reading this, I'll be blunt. Don't hold your breath for it. Nobody wanted to help when it was all we asked for, so why would anyone do it now when they have to do everything themselves?
