A Community in Need
News of the early passing of one of our own is never an easy one to wrap our heads around. It's ok to be sad, it's ok to wonder why.
There are also ways to help. One way is to help the loved ones with some of the expenses that come with the loss of a loved one. Shawn, aka JRZY, passed away in his sleep the morning of 8/22 due to medical complications. This GoFundMe has been set up for the family to assist in medical and personal expenses that have accrued with the final care of Shawn.
Every little bit helps, and sharing is just as beneficial as donating.

First Stop: The Room Status
The root URL now checks the same Firestore status used by the BARE CAVE entry flow, so first-time visitors see whether the room is open before any promo or detour.
When the cave is open, the front door points to the Zoom redirect. When it is closed or offline, it points to the right next page instead of pretending the room is live.
