The goal of this thread is to gauge the necessity of a service like TTN Mapper. That was made clear in the original post:

> So, is it time to shut down TTN Mapper?  
> Please leave your comments, opinions or any ideas down below.

So far I have seen very few comments in this thread that truly needs a response from me. This thread is not for discussing technical decisions on how and why the service works as it does.

_“I’ll offer free hosting”_ is not a solution. We’ve been there 9 years ago and it did not go well. I am not taking up offers like that anymore.

What we need is someone with the right technical skills and a passion for the project. Along with a model to fund the project. I have not seen any solutions like that being mentioned here yet. There are however also talks off-forum that could turn into long term solutions.
