For over twelve years, space bar has been home to quiet talks, raucous banter, and you.

We've been honored to keep the lights on and the life support systems running for you. It was easy when the space bar was tucked away on a surplus machine connected to a fast office network. Today we spend our own time maintaining the hardware that space bar runs on, and our own money for the enterprise-grade internet connection that makes the space bar your reliable residence every day.

space bar exists thanks to the generous support of these space bar denizens:

caleb, josefa, herf, violet, mark, reef, codezero, mrobbins, pete, craig, maloi, jess, aussiedawn, veej, shivacat, kwarwick, terrae, fork, velvet, and lilas
