Dr. Yan will leave Downtube in 2022

Does this mean Downtube will be under new ownership/management or permanently shuttering its doors?

Joseph,

2022 is 20 years. That is enough for me. It's time to move forward. I will begin a startup, MathPhD.com in a matter of weeks. I have no idea what the future holds for downtube. I may sell it, I may close it, I may gift it. Life has a interesting way of paving the proper path.

Thanks,

Yan
