After 25 years of operation, Nanowrimo is shutting down.
An email came out in the hours approaching April Fools
A video was attached to the email, which can be viewed here:
The video is on Kilby’s channel and not the long dead Nanowrimo channel. The video is full of…
Kilby logic, but there is some relevant information contained within.
If have anything on Nanowrimo you need to get off the site, take it now. The site will likely not be around for too much longer.
Despite everything that the organisation has been through, the closure of a 25 year old nonprofit is still a tragedy, and my heart goes out to everyone that’s grieving from this. Nano has hurt a lot of people, but it meant a lot to so many, and I will be sorry to see that go.
Even if I don’t agree with many things in the recent video, I can agree with the sentiment of one slide.
I will update you all if and when relevant information comes out. Despite everything, I now doubt that this will be my last post.
No sympathy, no sorrow left. “Don’t write a revisionist history” as if Kilby Blades ever once told the truth of what’s happening in this organization. As a former volunteer, what I have to say is don’t piss on my feet and tell me it’s raining.
>building a community and sustaining it are two different things
Wow imagine if you had engaged your 900 volunteers in sustaining this instead of alienating them, telling them not to represent the organization, keeping information from them and removing them from the site!
>many alternatives to nano popped up this year
I WONDER WHY
NaNo had issues before Kilby Blades. But it also had devoted volunteers and dedicated staff that she alienated with her gaslighting. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I hope to never hear her name again.
