Recognizing their hard work, it would have been helpful if they had occasionally issued public appeals for donations, similar to FitGirl. Numerous sailors are eager to assist such a great site and would be prepared to donate or advocate for their continuity.

Their main issue is prematurely assuming negative outcomes without providing the community with an opportunity to extend meaningful support. Additionally, their communication has been somewhat ambiguous and mysterious (and still is), causing confusion among users.

Yeah, this shit's just weird all around. Don't ask for money, but swap the site to invite-only because people aren't giving you money? Calling it invite-only, but offering no path or conditions for getting an invite? Calling it invite-only but saying that it will at some point be open again? Giving no explanation as to when or why it might open again? If it costs too much money to be open why would it open up?

Just weird. Use your words, people. top-use-words
