Tilde.team was seriously CPU- loaded when I just checked. I hope it works out.

@stack, spider announced via email to a list of ~cafe members that have logged in recently, afaik. I've just forwarded that email to the you using the email you used when signing up.

~cafe shutting down was discussed quite a bit in the #tilde.cafe libera iRC channel last year because spider is no longer able to continue it. we all thought it was going to shut down by the end of 2024 and jan6 has modified the homepage for a while now. I do think spider should have sent that email to *all members*, though...

on another note, can someone link to me @satch's post on this? I can't seem to find it, and all gemini search engines I've tried are either down or could not find it either.

Iโ€™ve an account on tilde.club, it seems well maintained, and definitely supports Gemini/cgi. You could request one for yourself there?

@hedy thanks, I found your email.

I am sorry to see you close shop. And thank you for hosting the game for so long.

@stack hey budy, just checking in. Did you find a spot? Should we start looking into running spellbinding on my server?

@digler - so far things are stable at tilde.team. Thanks for checking up on me.

Help! Spellbinding needs a new home! โ€” Tilde.cafe had generously provided a home for Spellbinding, but they are shutting down(?) Can you spare a tiny bit of resources to host it? Spellbinding is a C-based CGI script that uses absolutely minimal resources to provide the game experience to a couple of dozen players daily. If you have a stable server and wanto to help, I and the players would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you know of a good, stable free provider with CGI, please let me know.
