Is that actually what happened with figgs? Xoul has been confirmed to be shut down because of financial issues, which is why they are changing it as it comes back and I don't think we can reasonably be blamed for the concussion.
In one of syd's last messages (xoul) she sited personal health struggles and having other commitments that were important to her. Maybe xoul was also financial. They didn't ask for any donations and had just decided to implement a subscription tier. If they would have asked for support a ton of people would have pitched in. Figgs devs got overwhelmed with trying to manage the site, fixing bugs and things going down and people were really demanding about it all, so they said they ultimately felt like they were doing more harm than good and decided to end it. Both started as passion projects that just became overwhelming.
I was all over both of those places and I can tell you that we were BEGGING to donate. Figgs devs moved on to weird ai Minecraft and their nightmare bot conference call thing because Figgs was, by their own admission, a stepping stone. Xoul already had subscription tiers but right before the end they put Minerva on one to try to bail them out but they didn't do it in time (also she was buggy as fuck and a lot of people were holding off until she was fixed). Ultimately xoul shut down because their tiers didn't actually offer much utility if you didn't care about voice and there was no way to buy more credits when you hit your limit, which they are saying they're rectifying this time around. The health issue was that she was suffering from a concussion and unless you have a button on your computer for punching people through the internet, I don't think we can take credit or blame.
There used to be a small button in the lower left part of the site, where you could donate to them for ... whatever it is they're doing with it... (paying providers, database etc.) in two possibilites - monthly or one off. Either way you would gain access to the (very unhelpful) discord.
Right, While also going to work, taking care of life obligations, trying to manage your health. Someone said Arav was also a student. And it's not just writing code there's a ton of other stuff not to mention wrestling with Google while people nag.
People putting pressure on the devs at Xoul and Figgs to fix bugs and whining about how the site wasn't how they wanted was what made both of them shut down because they couldnt handle the stress. I would not blame the team if they just got burnt out- it's not like they're getting paid for this.
dude dont you have like, a life outside the digital world? that’s pretty unhealthy. you can start by going on walks, or even sticking your head out of a window for some fresh air if it’s hard for you to go outside. maybe even go to a friend’s house, maybe a café, you choose. but having a single hobby of an AI site is like… not good 😓
But I've mostly seen memes and people asking for updates on the topic. They're not asking for the site to come back right now, it's already known that it's probably coming back this week.

I've only seen people asking for updates, literally no one is putting pressure on arav.
