It's been a hell of awhile since I was last even active on here. To sum it up, I've mainly been working on school and spending time with family. I probably should've said so before I upped and dipped, but here we are.

As for where all the bots went, I set them to private. I know that doesn't delete them from saved chats, but I do want to stop at least my bots from getting more interaction. To be honest, this is something I've been debating on doing for awhile. I've always had an issue with most AIs, even the things I posted, but I kept creating because I loved the attention. It was a selfish and hypocritical reason, and I take full responsibility for any harm I might have caused. So, I'm doing this now. AI like this is extremely harmful and addicted, and it had me hooked for a damn long time. I'd have over 100 tabs opened on my phone at the same time in an infinite dopamine loop that just left me drained and depressed. I'm glad I was lucky enough to be able to break out of that, because it's in no way easy to do. I do genuinely feel awful, both for contributing, and pulling this stunt cold-turkey on all of you. Every single one of you was great, and I do still care about your wellbeings. I'm not going to tell you all you're criminals or something for being on here, but I do recommend trying to stop if it's a problem. Shep and the other devs aren't to blame for the issue either. The economy is bound to economy, and running a successful business isn't a crime. Obviously the AI isn't to blame either, because it's realistically just a bystander. I don't really know where I'm going with all of this, but point is, every single one of you matters, and you all amount to so much more than you realize.

As for what's next, I have no idea. JAI may be around for another 100 years, or it might shut down tomorrow. We really have almost no way of knowing for sure. For all of you, I wish you nothing but the absolute best. I hope your future is successful, you, your family, and your pets live long, happy lives, and both sides of your pillow are cold every night. Thank you all so much for everything, but unfortunately, this is where we part ways.
