hi folks, we've received word that Archive Team has finished their archival of cohost. we will be shutting down the servers and deleting all data sometime tomorrow, January 12. shortly after, cohost.org will begin redirecting to the wayback machine.

thank you, as always, for having used cohost.

@cohost thanks for proving things can be better.

For anyone wondering where to find this content. It appears to be approximately 8.7-9TB of content total.

Thank you for all the fun, and for eggbug :)

@cohost Thank-you for flying eggbug

@cohost So let me get this clear. If you have an old link to a cohost post somewhere else, that'll redirect to the same post on the wayback machine?

Cos that'd be all sorts of awesome considering linkrot and the state of the internet nowadays.

@kawa @cohost yes, they delayed shutdown specifically so they could implement this.
@cohost thank you for doing a shutdown the right way. It's good to have examples to show how to do it.
@cohost Be safe in future travels Eggbug.
@cohost Hopefully somebody else dares to dream to do what you've done. Thanks for everything, Cohost.
@cohost Thank you once more for all your work!
@cohost Thanks for building cohost, for showing that things can improve & for bringing us all together

@cohost hey if someone has their archive let me know, it can be imported in wafrn

@cohost I never used cohost, but I know a lot of people who did, and seeing you extend this final kindness to the community says a lot about the work y'all did. So, thanks for being decent people in this world.

@cohost It’s sad that you had to shut down, but the effort you put in archival is awesome, thank you!
