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.

    I know I'm late to the party, but RIP Mturk! Wasn't really on there for the past four or so years but I had some good times doing 5 minute long 30 cent surveys and 1 cent receipts.

    A post on Reddit (with a video) from Panos Ipeirotis,
    who ran the the long-running MTurk Tracker project and its demographic surveys.


    He noted (in a reply comment) that increased presence of bots had been an issue in recent years:

    "... Lots of bots in the last few years, and it was very obvious from the aggregate data. For some bizarre reason, I kept it running, just because it ran for so long that I did not want to stop it."​
