Hi Dane,
Divide the cost of maintaining the shell by 100 users and let us know what our cut would be. We might be willing to pay it.
Thanks,
I appreciate the sentiment and question but it's honestly not a question about time spent maintaining it, it's about tech debt (or mental tax), distraction and focus. Shell users are an ever dwindling percentage of our customers and we've already gone well beyond the point where there was any justification other than sentimentality on our part to continue to support this service. As someone else commented they've been using shell.sonic.net for more than half of their life - I've been running it for more than half of my life!
