The popular Arutha XDCC bot that hosts many old Anime is closing down

[LazyMuffin]

If you if haven't heard the XDCC bot Arutha on IRC rizon server is closing down after 15yrs of service. It's pretty sad to see it go since it's one of the largest XDCC bots that hosts many older anime especially rips from HorribleSubs since most torrents from that group have 0 seeders. You still have time before it closes down so go download the old animes that you're searching for!

That's pretty sad, I think I understand their situation.

This is pretty shocking. The Arutha bot is one of thoses things that just felt would last forever. Love and respect to the people who ran it for the past 15 years o7

Nothing lasts forever so better backup whatever you have

Yeah, too late, storage is so expensive (already 2.5x) I'm going to count on my WD / HGST Helium Enterprise gonna last 5 more years or I'm royally screwed

Ram, GPU, and CPU will go up the roof... along with cost.

NIBL feels so empty without Arutha anymore

Oof, even AnimeTosho is shutting down in May.

Oof, even AnimeTosho is shutting down in May.

I guess any service owners think 15yrs is a good age to retire?
