gollark: <@!222424031368970240> From what they said elsewhere, SC is dead because "kaori", the dedicated server they run SC and other stuff on, failed in some way.
gollark: Yes, it runs a bunch of backend services for potatOS. Also other things.

gollark: SwitchCraft's server exploded.
gollark: Mostly dan200 just talks about CC on twitter instead of actually *doing* things about it.
