![w words.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/helpie/wFI2DwiR-w20words.png) # Hey, Friends! ![carrie here up.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/helpie/40MTruu1-carrie20here20up.png) And... as usual, I have no *real plan*. Let's see how this goes... ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmabo1qBs9aBKiAxzBaN6oEaRxxpFQAW5qXA4WbzWDwDHa/rainbow%20motion.gif) ## What Happened to Wacky Wednesday?!! Nothing really. It's just taking a little vacation. Honestly, I've been doing that every Wednesday for almost a year (would have been a year in February) and they never really 'took off'... I'd have 1-2 entries each week (meaning it was EASY to win money from me!) and the occasional big post with 6+ entries. And the posts weren't bringing in enough to even cover the prizes (so I started doing that). This brings me to my next topic... ## The Helpie Witness Server is Shutting Down - Jan. 28. I know! We are so sorry! You can learn a little more about why [HERE](https://steempeak.com/@helpie/helpie-update-december-2019) and I'll also be doing another announcement post a few days before we shut down. The long and short of it: We've had to power down several times this year to pay for the server, with steem prices being so low this is a LOT of potential voting power we are losing. And, on the other side of things, none of us (on the team) felt we were financially able to cover it each month. The initial hope would have been for us to pull in enough steem to pay for it, and in the future we may be able to, but for now, we focus on our curating and community! ## Some Fun Words...
