It’s with great sadness that I need to share some difficult news. Due to diminishing funding and a steadily declining number of active members, we’ve reached a point where it’s no longer possible to keep the TTN platforms running.

Another challenge has been TTN’s open-platform nature. Because all subjects are allowed—such as polygamy and other sensitive topics—some people prefer not to be associated with the site. The only way to overcome this would be to rewrite the T&Cs and restrict who can join or what can be discussed… but doing so goes completely against the original vision of TTN as an open, community-led space.
In other words, I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t.

The only real way forward would be to re-focus and rebuild the platform, but that requires time, energy, and funding that I no longer have. So unless someone steps forward to take over TTN, the site will unfortunately be shut down. It’s a real shame, but I’m personally out of steam and simply cannot carry it on alone.

TTN will close on Friday, 13 December 2025 at 12:00pm BST (7:00am EST on 12 December 2025) if no takeover occurs.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported TTN over the past 4.5 years. People like Nick have published a post every day since he first joined in 2021 except when he was taken up in the hospital. Thanks Nick Liebenberg I really appreciate your posts and financial support to date.❤️

Please take time over the coming weeks to connect with those you've met here and arrange alternative ways to stay in touch.

If anything changes or someone steps forward, I will update everyone immediately.
