It's come time to say goodbye to our friend Argus, and sunset Charahub. We'll be shutting off the servers on March 1st, 2019 and purging all user data.

We appreciate all of the support that you've given us over the years 💖

Why?

Charahub has been a side project for Keith & Gemma for a long time, and neither of us has the time or energy to focus on it full time. We've made some stumbles running it, and because of that we can't run google ads (too many charahub profiles have been flagged for stealing artwork or famous photos) or other ad networks, which has made it impossible for Charahub to support itself.

Unfortunately we can't keep running it at a loss, and have made the hard decision to finally shut it down. We've always been impressed with all of the incredible creativity of the community and we hope you're able to take that creativity on to somewhere else!

We've considered other avenues of income, like a patreon or adding more "pay" features, but ultimately neither of us have had the time to dedicate to Charahub. You've seen this in things like the forums vanishing, or features being broken for long periods of time — there just hasn't been the time or focus to make Charahub work.

Where to go?

Subeta is our #1 recommendation, where players use their pet profiles in a similar way to charahub profiles. There is an active player base of creators - building pet profiles, avatars to represent characters, and more. To make the transition easier, anyone who signs up on Subeta with this link will get 100,000 starting points (10x the regular amount!) and 500 cash shop credits.

Another option is this app - Notion. You can create pages and databases, link them together, add fun emojis, and really get creative. You can see an example of a profile here.

Some of our favorite examples of Subeta profiles:
