WELL THAT’S lastly OVER WITH

When the owner of the site wished to offer Hackaday you guys desired a Kickstarter to crowdfund the purchase as well as keep it in the community. I obliged and started a crowdfunding campaign. All things must pass, as well as I got an email from the owner, [Jason]:

Looks like a nice showing however we won’t hit even 100k

I assumption we tried…. I have two solid offers from truly awesome folks. will keep you posted.

Yes, that’s right, we’re lastly done with the crowdfunding campaign. The end time for the campaign is now set for Monday at noon – you can’t really delete Indiegogo campaigns – as well as I’m very, extremely skeptical it will be funded by then.

I have two words for those who supported Hackaday as well as this crowdfunding campaign: say thanks to you. It’s astonishing we increased what we did without the infrastructure, licensed business, as well as non-profit condition that would make Hackaday really cool. You guys believe in the future of Hackaday, as well as I’m extremely thankful for that.

As for the people who vomited vitriol against me in the comments of the crowdfunding announcement, I likewise have two words for you.

Even though the dream of a Hackaday had by the neighborhood is dead now, I’m extremely positive we’ll discover a much better house for Hackaday that will enable us to keep moving ahead as well as enable us to do some truly awesome things we’ve been believing about for a while. I’ve spoken with a few of the possible future owners, as well as let me guarantee you they’re awesome people. No, we won’t be doing grants for builds, however I guarantee you Hackaday will come out of this much better than exactly how it went in.

TL;DR: We didn’t rather get to the very best of all possible universes, however things are going to be much better than exactly how they were before. Everything’s cool, don’t freak out. We’ll tell you stuff when we understand more.
