To support the new admin(s) and continued success of this very nice service, how much funding or what kind of other support is needed? (e.g. to keep, maybe even extend the domains, as some got blocked over time).

(EDIT) PS: Even I just register for the Forum, I am happy customer of Spamgorumet for many, many years.

Well, I can think of lots of reasons for closing down, and none for staying online. Please stay working anyway.

Hi-I have been using SpamGourmet for a long time and have 388 addresses. I just joined the BBS and saw this post.
I found another post from January, 2020:
https://bbs.spamgourmet.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1793&sid=bc5089a6880b2bb6609dc5b325b55a84
This one says that SG will continue and be run by Josiah, Josh's son.
What is the status on this?
It will be a tremendous amount of work for me to update 300+ senders with a new email address.
I truly love SpamGourmet. When someone askes me for an email address, I can just make one up on the spot. Fantastic!
I have found it very reliable. It's simple yet brilliant.
I would be willing to make a donation or pay a reasonable fee if that helps keep it going.
Thanks..

P.S. Just read further and heard of Josh's passing. My condolences to Josiah and his family.

Josh's son Josiah has taken up the reins and Spam Gourmet is not shutting down. We've had (and are now experiencing) some bumps in the road but generally, things are working.

Thanks so much for keeping this running. I actually completely missed this news and are sad to hear the reason behind notice.
Very very happy to see it didn't have to be closed down after all.
Keep rocking Josiah, and please let us know when you need more support!
