Just as a PSA to my pals and anyone else who might have dabbled with it, Charahub is on its way out:
A lot of features never really worked out, but for being able to toss up a quick-and-easy character profile that site was hard to beat. (It also had a really slick image-focusing tool I used to make most of my icons for RPR.) Pour one out for Charahub, but more importantly, back up your stuff.

We'll be shutting off the servers on March 1st, 2019 and purging all user data.
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 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.

That’s a real shame, I made an account just a couple of weeks ago. Makes me appreciate what Kim is able to do for RPR and its sustainability.
Charahub was how I ended up here. Someone suggested it and I searched and found here too.
Kinda a shame but it didn't have quite the same community attachment as here.
