It's worth noting for people that don't know, that I ate my own dogfood. The communities and forums I run are now hosted on Microcosm.

So when we were facing the "What next?" moment, I knew I had to install and setup my own instance of the platform just to give my users an uninterrupted service.

What I did, was for every customer already on the platform who had stuck with us, loved what we'd done... I offered them space on my instance.

I never wanted to leave even a single customer in the lurch. I think it sucks that startups do, especially if a way can be found.
