FreeTowne's code base, which was from the original FreeTown Chat, is 20-year-old technology, and is no longer supported by modern servers and browsers.

To keep FreeTowne operating, it would requrie a rewrite of most of the website. And, that's just not gonna get done.

So, it's been a fun ride. But, it's over now.

My many thanks to all of you who've been fans and participants over the many years.

FreeTowne and I, "bond", bid you all a fond farewell.
