We're hosted on Tapatalk, as it worked out to be cheaper than any alternate self-hosting solution, and I was encouraged by the news that they have recently bought themselves back from their VC investors to make themselves properly independent again.

In the future, we'll be at https://afterchost.org, but unfortunately good old DNS kinda fucked me on that one, so while I have the domain, I couldn't get it connected in time for this and felt it was better to give folks a chance to register while I still had time to announce it.

I hope you'll join us, and help carry some of this site's spirit on into the future, or at least that we can make a fun little corner of the internet for those of us not quite ready to let go of what we have, even if it's not quite the same.

I will also add: this is a lot more rag-tag operation than even cohost was; I am one unemployed disabled queer doing her best. I'm happy to take suggestions, and I'll do my best to make a safe place for folks to chill, but that's all I can promise.

Thanks, and remember: eggbug lives!

i've officially seen my first unsourced quote from a cohost post, copy-and-pasted into notes and then screenshotted and posted on facebook for memes

we've made it folks, we're officially one of the big boys

~~worst part is i can't even find the original post because no search~~

EDIT: here's the original quote: https://cohost.org/hystericempress/post/1731218-reflecting-on-it-th
