Recently, the community just got an information from Woiden (& Hax) admin , saying:

The end of service WOIDEN

Thanks to the auto-renewal script provided below, it caused us to lose more than half of our website visitors

https://github.com/Zakkoree/woiden_extend

We announced that, we will be discontinuing WOIDEN free vps next month, please take your backup, we provide plenty of time.
all servers below will be discontinued on this date:

EU-1 - Germany - May 16, 2023
EU-2 - Germany - May 16, 2023
EU-3 - France - May 31, 2023
EU-4 - Poland - May 31, 2023
EU-5 - France - May 31, 2023
EU-6 - France - May 31, 2023
EU-7 - United Kingdom - May 31, 2023
EU-8 - France - May 31, 2023
EU-BEST-1 - Germany - May 16, 2023

HAX may suffer the same fate but we still decided to wait 1 month longer before any decision is made, there is also the possibility of Woiden's old server moving to HAX, if HAX survives.

thanks for being part of Woiden

Think about it. Did you think what impact will be received by Woiden and the "loyal" community when any of you make this autorenew script? Did you think how Woiden getting its revenue? Yes, ADS!

They got paid with ads revenue, while the community gets free (NAT) Linux server to use. That's a win-win. But with this autorenew, this becomes win-lose situation. The community gets free servers, while Woiden gets nothing.

Judging from your repo' star count, there are many users who used your script.

Use your mind before doing anything, please. Well, maybe you just did this in your spare time, or just curious how do Woiden make a request to its backend server. But please, DON'T SHARE IT TO PUBLIC! THE WHOLE COMMUNITY WILL SUFFER FOR IT! Or even better, don't even try to make it!

Once again, thanks.

最近，Woiden (& Hax) 管理员发布了一条消息，宣布将终止 Woiden 服务。原因是由下面提供的自动续订脚本导致我们失去了一半以上的网站访问者。

https://github.com/Zakkoree/woiden_extend

我们宣布，我们将在下个月停止 WOIDEN 免费VPS， 请备份您的数据，我们提供充足的时间。

以下所有服务器将在以下日期停止服务：

EU-1 - 德国 - 2023年5月16日
EU-2 - 德国 - 2023年5月16日
EU-3 - 法国 - 2023年5月31日
EU-4 - 波兰 - 2023年5月31日
EU-5 - 法国 - 2023年5月31日
EU-6 - 法国 - 2023年5月31日
EU-7 - 英国 - 2023年5月31日
EU-8 - 法国 - 2023年5月31日
EU-BEST-1 - 德国 - 2023年5月16日

HAX 可能会面临同样的命运，但我们决定等待一个月再做任何决定。如果 HAX 存活，还有可能 Woiden 的旧服务器将移动到 HAX。

谢谢你成为 Woiden 共同体的一分子。

请想想，你们中的任何人使用此自动续订脚本对 Woiden 和“忠实”的社区产生的影响。你想过 Woiden 如何获取其收入吗？没错，是广告！

他们依赖广告收入，而社区则获得免费的 Linux 服务器（NAT），这是双赢的局面。但是，有了这个自动续订脚本，这种局面变成了单赢的情况。社区享受免费服务，而 Woiden 却一无所获。

从您在Github收到的星星数量来看，我们注意到有很多人都使用了您的脚本。

请在行动之前三思，这也许是你在闲暇时间做的或只是想好奇一下 Woiden 如何向其后端服务器发出请求。但请不要公开分享此脚本，整个社区都会因此受到伤害！更好的做法是不要尝试制作！

再一次感谢。

As a fellow user, I am deeply saddened by the news of Woiden's termination. It is such a shame that the service had to end due to the actions of a few individuals who misused it. It is unfortunate that some members of the community failed to recognize the importance of respecting the terms of service and maintaining a sustainable business model. I hope that we all can learn from this experience and work towards creating a more responsible and supportive online community.
