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.

    They might as well have announced it with the news that they were closing it to new people a few weeks ago

    While I kinda expected that this was coming with the changes and the impending doom message at the top of MTurk, it still sucks to see it go after being a part of the platform and community for so many years. I know it's past the prime of MTurk, but damn.

    @ChrisTurk comes back from the dead, I send him updated MTS code, he agrees to look at it & submit to the Chrome store tomorrow, then realizes there are 20k changed lines of code, sends me this - :emoji_sweat_smile: - and then tomorrow comes and MTurk announces they are shutting down. Riiiight... Mhmm...

    Careful what you wish for. You'd hope it'd be VRAPI, but then one day you wake up and this is the new CEO of MTurk:

    P.S. if it's not showing up, right click -> open in Incognito

    It was a fun run at some points. Thanks for all the help and extensions this forum has given me, I hope everyone that's still here can find alternatives.

    That's a shame because there's no other place for batchwork.
