TL;DR: Turning off 4clojure.com by the end of July 2021

Hello, 4clojure problem solvers. You've probably noticed SSL errors on 
4clojure.com over the last week. The old decrepit system 4clojure runs on 
has finally gotten out of date enough that I can't even figure out how to 
get it recent enough that SSL certs will auto-renew anymore.

In principle I could start from scratch on a new server and move 4clojure 
over, but I won't. 4clojure has been piggybacking along on a server that I 
use for personal reasons, and over the years I have less and less reason to 
keep paying for that server - it's now pretty much just 4clojure costing me 
an embarrassing amount of money every month because I haven't wanted to 
disappoint the community by shutting it down. This SSL thing is just what 
made me finally pull the trigger.

I don't have a specific EOL date in mind, but sometime near the end of the 
month, since that's the billing cycle. Until that time, 4clojure still 
works, as long as you don't mind clicking through the security warnings - 
it really is still me hosting the site, and since the connection is still 
HTTPS (albeit with an invalid cert) I think that means your data is still 
safe. If you have solutions to problems you're proud of, you've still got 
some time to print them out and put them up on your refrigerator.

I'm not seeking new maintainers. I'd feel uncomfortable handing over a 
database with so many email addresses and password hashes in it to anyone. 
The service has had a good run - just over a decade since the first release 
<https://github.com/4clojure/4clojure/commit/ff457d0b3b5f5e5a74316a1747809c25b84b3b5e>.
 
I hope you enjoyed it during that time.
