So apparently it's not that time of year. At least not officially.

"In March 2025, the organization announced its closure. Interim executive director Kilby Blades published a YouTube video the same day citing financial struggles and "community vitriol" as the reasons for closure."

It seems that due to various reasons, the website has shut down, and the organisation has ceased to be operational.

Twenty five years after it was founded, it has been closed down.

That's........ I don't know. I am - I admit - somewhat surprised.
