Hi all, it's @ddrfr33k. I was just talking with @chiren and @devmarvel. We have tried to delay the inevitable as much as possible, but we simply cannot do it any longer. Our billing cycle with our host ends on June 8th, and we intend to cease our operations at that point in time. We are simply not making the money we need to cover our costs. It sucks. You think you have everything figured out and then you turn around and everything looks like this:

No, really. I put in $180USD of my own money last month, and I'm fronting another $200 this month. It's simply not feasible to keep this site running. So, we're going to wind down on Saturday, cease operations, and back up what we had in the event we can rebuild. Those of you who subscribed to Vimm with Paypal, please cancel your subscriptions immediately so they don't auto-renew on us. If you had a premium membership set up to pay with Hive, we will cancel everyone's subscriptions on Saturday. Feel free to change before then if you like. If you have replays on the site, please download them ASAP.

When I joined this site back in 2018, I saw a lot of potential. We had a lot of awesome people streaming, and we overcame a lot of obstacles to make what we made. We showed off at [Hive Fest in 2021](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1cGQCoQq0c&pp=ygURaGl2ZWZlc3QgZGRyZnIzM2s%3D), [I talked about Vimm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyEO8blai2I&pp=ygUXaW50ZXJ2aWV3IHdpdGggZGRyZnIzM2s%3D) with @trey50daniel on his podcast, we accomplished a lot in my time. @chiren had great help from @foreveraverage at outset, we wouldn't have the streaming site we do without his help.

In addition, @chiren had this to say:

>I just want to thank everyone who has been supporting us for the last 4 years. Especially when we had our issues with AWS. And a special thanks to our friends in heplie caster. They've been here since the steem days and stuck with us till the end.

@devmarvel also adds his thank you to everyone who believed in us, too.

Unfortunately, this is where we end our little streaming site. I want to personally thank each and every one of you who streamed with us. You're great people, and we'll certainly meet again in the future.
