Dear VIMM Community,
As many of you already know, We had to make the difficult decision to close @VIMM on June 8th due to our inability to cover the monthly running costs. This was an incredibly hard decision, one that weighed heavily on us. For six wonderful years, we ran this project purely out of love and passion. We all juggled a full-time job, family commitments, and the constant effort required to keep the VIMM service running smoothly, all without any monetary return.
Reflecting on the Journey
VIMM began as a passion project, and it remained that way throughout its entire existence. We faced tremendous challenges along the way, none more daunting than the AWS catastrophe. Yet, through sheer determination and with the unwavering support of our community, we managed to overcome these obstacles. Thanks to the dedicated members who stuck with us during the downtime and returned to streaming as soon as we found a new home for our service, you all kept the platform and community alive.
Gratitude for the VIMM Community
I am incredibly grateful for the love, support, and resilience of the VIMM community. Your commitment has been the driving force behind VIMM, and it is because of you that we were able to achieve so much.
Special thanks to @ciderjunkie, @shmoogleosukami, @nerdtopiade, @chisdealhd, @helpie-caster, @devmarvel, to only name a few, for going the extra mile in supporting the vision until the last day.
Looking to the Future
However, this is not the end of the journey. While we have had to close the current chapter of VIMM, I am already dreaming of the future. I envision a more ambitious version of VIMM, one that is more sustainable and even more community-driven. I believe in the potential of VIMM to grow and evolve into something even greater than before.
Plans for VIMM's Return
I am taking this time to regroup, re-strategize, and explore new possibilities. I am looking into innovative ways to bring back VIMM, potentially with enhanced features and a more robust infrastructure to ensure long-term sustainability. Your feedback and suggestions will be invaluable in this process, and I encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas with me.
Commitment to the Community
I want to assure you that my passion for VIMM and my dedication to this community have not diminished. I am committed to finding a path forward and to bringing back a version of VIMM that exceeds your expectations.
Closing Thoughts
Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a part of this incredible journey. I look forward to the day when I can announce the return of VIMM, bigger and better than ever.
With heartfelt gratitude and optimism for the future,
Chiren
VIMM Founder

Wish we could work together man, get the platform back up with distributed transcoding and filesystem, insane syndication to multiple networks, P2P 4K streams, RSS, cross-app cross-network notifications, and even aggregated likes/tips/commenting for awesome user engagement.
Agori.host will run all the hardware for you for as little as 75€ and Dev time to get it all up and running again should not take more than a few weeks (the theme for the site being the most work imo). Ping
#agorise:matrix.orgon matrix or[email protected]if interested.The more multi-network chatter you can get going in the comment section, the more people are sharing the streams with their friends, which gets more viewers, and in turn the more income the creators and audience can receive thru upvotes, tips and zaps. #snowball
If the Hive community can help fund it, then I'll help you get it there and more.

Hey @chiren
You absolutely have to take this time off. Gather new strength and ideas.
I would like Vimm to be present on Hive again, because Vimm service is older and different from 3speak.
I am not a software developer and I am not rich, but I will be happy to support you financially if you are willing to do so.
Unfortunately I cannot give much, but I believe I can cover the costs of one or two servers.
I do not make "empty promises" and do not want anything in return. I like to help and am too old to be disappointed in the end.
I am incredibly grateful for your generous contribution and heartfelt message. Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me. Your willingness to assist financially, even if it’s modest, reinforces my commitment to bringing VIMM back stronger than ever. Thank you for embodying the spirit of our amazing community and for believing in VIMM’s future.

Sorry to hear that VIMM is shutting down even temporarily. It was a great project and while i don't stream i often followed other project who did stream there.
Hopefully you can regroup and come back stronger. Ideally with some revenue streams from the site to fund running costs and even put together a marketing team in the future to bring new users in form outside and grow from a passion project to a full blown profitable business.
Bigger and better things for the future.
Fair play for all of the hard work that brought you this far and all the people involved.
