Quoted from their Discord guild

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share some personal news with you. After 15 years of hosting the Arutha Foundation with love and dedication, I’ve decided to embark on a new journey. The world is on fire and the universe is calling me to remember who I am. I have decided to listen to the music of the universe and take a leap of faith.

I’m grateful for the experiences and love shared with all of you. I’ll give you some time to transfer data, and I’ll pick a date in Q1 2026 to say goodbye to Arutha.

Thank you for your support and love throughout the years. You’ve been an integral part of my journey, and I’m thankful for that.

The XDCC/IRC bots will be going offline from the 31st of January. If there’s anything you’d like to grab from there make sure you do so before then. The channel will remain as there are other bots still active on there.

Well this is sad :( This was my primary route of watching anime for the last few years. I guess there won’t be many lost files since it’s all mainly torrents though…
