it's kinda beautiful that cohost gets to have an ending. most websites don't you know. most websites just slowly trundle off, with userbases diminishing or webmasters becoming occupied with other endeavours. think of how many pages you know where they over time just slowly stopped updating. no big notice, just bookmarks in a folder that become less visited over time.
i'm not happy to see the site go, but i am contented seeing everyone share their memories of what made this place special, reflecting on the ways the site failed and definitely should have done better on, sharing laughs for the last time, and uttering heartfelt pleas. one last breath of open communication before it all goes dark. it's a lot more than most of the places i've spent my life in.
so to cohost, i say hello, goodnight.
