If it has to happen someday, I'd rather it happen gracefully with a warning than get sold to some company that is going to drive it into the ground to push tons of ads and microtransactions on us to milk all the money they can out of it before crashing it.
Better to end, if sad, earlier than to soil your memory of it by watching it burn itself down under new ownership, I think.

Warning and date, a countdown would make me too sad. (unus annus countdown almost made me cry lmao), imagine what it could do to these dragons that you know you'll never seen again that instead once a channel ends they go back to their other channels, whereas with this its pretty much gone for good. No visiting them.

Something along the lines of "We love you guys, thanks for all the support and time you've spent with us. It's been an adventure, but it's time to say goodbye." With a date and time.

The date and time to be announced.
And the option to mass download all dragon .png and bio .txt

^^^^^ It would be nice to not spend all day doing that

Date and time, no countdown. I’ll be sad but it will have to happen at some point. Even if that’s years in the future. I highly doubt this site will close down any time soon, it’s the busiest I’ve ever seen it!

Why is it inevitable for the site to close? They are putting so much work into re-coding the site. I don't think they would bother to do that if they thought their business wasn't sustainable.

Another game I played actually shut down, and they mentioned it was only temporary (I don't remember exactly tbh). I've forgotten the name of the website but I don't think it has come back so I would prefer they just lie about "taking an (eternal) break" so I'd slowly forget about this site haha.

The admins aren't immortal beings destined to be able to bring us dragons for all of eternity, they're going to want to retire someday, everything does have to end eventually. Many small businesses close up when the owners grow old and retire. It's plausible they'd rather retire the site with them as a passion project than hand it to someone else who may do questionable things with it. And even if it does slowly change hands and do well that way, we don't know how long the internet will be the way it is.
There's pretty much no way FR will be here in 500 years but if it is, mad respect.
