An alternative to Formspring. Closed on 2015-04-01. Relaunched shortly on 2015-04-18. Finally closed again on 2016-06-12.
Closure
Closure was announced on 2015-03-27 on Twitter.
Due to personal problems and general burnout of the project leaders, Retrospring will shut down on 1st April (in 4 days) [1] Also, before you think it is: No, it's not an april fools joke. (Bad chosen date, of course, but better at the beginning of the month and [2] announced instead of putting the site off suddenly without notice) [3]
If you want to get all data associated with your user account, send an email using the email address that's associated with your (c)[4] (c) Retrospring account to nilsding@retrospring.net and wait a little while [5]
Also, regarding the Patreon page, we already sent a deletion request for the page, but they seem to take a while. [6] If you want to get sure not to pledge more out of accident, please cancel your patronship! [7]
Relaunch
Somehow, the site went back mere 18 days after the announced shutdown.
- Retrospring is back, and now entirely open to developer contributions, help us improving and fixing the service! https://github.com/Retrospring/retrospring [8]

Apparently, they "can guarantee" Retrospring won't go down again.
Final closure
Retrospring closed again, this time for good, on 2016-06-12. This happened without an ArchiveTeam member noticing, so no action was done.
