Sites need someone to manage them though - they don't really just "run themselves". You can have different levels of involvement, but it's never really zero.
Even a pure community group on some third-party managed website needs management (unless you don't care for any moderation whatsoever).

I must have been blind.
Thank you for pointing me to your contact form!
I just sent you a message.

I mainly meant as a way to keep the site operational after your departure. But, I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than organizing a community group to keep it running when things break.

The idea is, since it's mostly automated, turn it into an anonymous self-run site with minor intervention when needed. You can depart and stop, and the community would take on the responsibility.

I know it's not likely possible (since setting up a community is extremely difficult) or will happen, but it's just sad when quality parts of the internet die off.

You can post here, or if you really don't want others to see it, go here.

I could not find a way to contact the admin directly.
Would someone please point me to the correct contact?

The updates process here is pretty much all automated already.
As for 'community run', I'm not sure how that'd work exactly. If it's basically people manually reuploading from torrents with associated metadata, I'm sure someone could set up a forum to accomplish that. It wouldn't be what this site does though.

As a hypothetical ... what would it take to change this site to community run or automated?

Is it money? Logistics?

No, it's unrelated. As above commenter points out, the feed is running in degraded mode due to the server running out of bandwidth. Search queries (those with 'q' parameter) are likely affected the most.
It should be back to normal in 2-3 days.

Thanks for raising the issue and sorry for the inconvenience.

From the top of AT main page:
"8th Feb 2026: The storage/feed/API server is quickly approaching its bandwidth quota (which resets in a week). <...> (some requests will fail) to conserve bandwidth until the quota resets."

Hello I'm seeing a lot of error 500 responses when trying to query the feed, for example:
https://feed.animetosho.org/json?eid=2...=1&q=1080p
will sometimes return

Internal error
Failed to connect to search server.

is this expected with the upcoming shutdowns?
