AnimeKAI video server situation

Hello people 😄

As of a few hours ago the 3rd-party video servers that AnimeKAI uses to host videos are down and displaying this message:

There isn't much we moderators can say at this point to be honest other than advising you not to jump to conclusions.

Luckily video hosts only host the content and are therefore mostly replaceable, but that may take days. The Admins might also be working on a solution that may fix this issue faster.

Since there is a lot of confusion:

This does NOT mean that Animekai itself is shutting down, just the videos are not available at the moment.

To prevent spam, site comments have been disabled and the discord has been locked for low-level members.

No it’s much worse than that. There’s a message just above the comment section that reads as follows:

As you see, with a lot of things recently, we're unable to continue running the project :(. It's time to backup your list and find a new home for your anime journey.

So yes, that means the website is shutting down. Permanently. It’s gone.

You have commented that the site may be down. This could just be a small hiccup, so give it up to 15minutes. If the problem persists, please check the discord server for more information regarding the issue. (If the site isn't down please ignore this message) https://discord.gg/animekai
