1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    Well since you offered, I recently just got everything re-setup after not having internet for the last 5 months and getting a new computer on New Years.
    Has much changed at all? Hopefully not cause then I could just restore my backup. Is there any new requesters or hits I should throw in the scraper man?

    In the last 5 months? Other than updating your scripts not much has changed. If you are still using hit scraper I would switch to something else as it isn't secure anymore and well it sucks anyways.

    Things are a tad slow right now but that is too be expected with the time of year and to be honest today was pretty lit anyways so hopefully things ramp back up.

    I suppose one of the few things that has happened recently is that @Kadauchi released https://turkernator.com/ and that might be worth looking into if you don't have a good setup with a custom scraper ect already.

    I don't personally use it but I bet that it is better than the garbage setups that most people use lol.
