RIPtape.moe - Mixtape.moe shutting down
I predicted this happening since I started using it, but more imminently from about 3 months ago. When Mixtape needed to raise over $300 a month and was struggling to hit the mark, with every month increasing that target, I knew it was a ticking time bomb.
That’s why I invested in a personal file server for my own use.
If you are a fan of my work and want to preserve it, I think it’s about time you start going through the blog posts, back to front, and saving out all the images and videos uploaded on mixtape.moe. Come February 10th, they will never be accessible again.
I have no personal interest in exerting the effort to archive the work. I live in the present and look to the future, with no special attachment to the past beyond acknowledging my achievements, failures, and lessons learned. But if someone else wants to archive the pieces and upload them somewhere, I will be more than willing to post the archive. Depending on the size, I might mirror the archive onto my own file server, to give it some degree of permanence.
Similarly, if you lads and ladies are fans of any other artists who might use mixtape.moe, you should definitely relay this information to them.
