Just a heads up, the azure server is going to die. I'm out of money right now, but I'm getting a job. I applied at about 10-20 places so far, and I'm applying for more. This is not the end of the server, I just need to hustle for more money. If it becomes too dire I will run the server off of my computer. My internet is good, and my specs are decent. Don't start a riot over this, just give me some time to get some money together. My end plan is to build up my home server with server grade hardware, however I really just want to get back on a host for now as it would take longer if I went the home server way.
I'm giving a heads up now so be prepared.
Edit: ok we're fine for now. google cloud services had like free $300 in credit. It'll get us by for now. Still looking for a job.

I'd just like to say, while I do commend you putting the work to continue it, and to Robin for hosting it in the mean time, if it does come to it I don't think that running it on your home computer would be the best idea and at that point (not now) the conversation might be had about you passing on ownership.
That said though, this is just my two cents, I'm not trying to make this a big deal and it's a topic that should only be broached if it comes to that point, and done so with community consensus.
Thank you for the update though.

I don't think it's a good idea to homehost this server, Seth.

I got a free $100 credit for azure awaiting to be redeemed if you want to use it (GitHub Education Pack).

I got a free $100 credit for azure awaiting to be redeemed if you want to use it (GitHub Education Pack). Github Education Pack is easily exploited. If the university you are attending/attended uses Google Suite EDU, you will be able to add periods throughout the email and it is considered a new email to Github. The primary issue revolves around credit card numbers. You must use a unique credit card number in order to apply the promotion. This is possible through using another credit card or by utilizing third-party services, such as privacy.com. Haven’t used a credit card for any of my promotion except for DigitalOcean.

As a worse case scenario I have offered a few times for you to use my VPS. You're still the owner, i'm not taking that away from you...

You're all still welcome to the free server I offered back when this all came up the first time when Windows went AWOL... I've managed to run a hosting company since 2013 without any extended periods of outage so the offer is there if you just want a free decent server...

Beats whatever we have right now - assuming there will be less/no issues with TPS.

We wanted to build something properly and that would stand the test of time. I can't speak for him but I'm still happy to help.
