The month of April 2025 is here, as is Spring. But with it, comes an approaching farewell. On May 5, Skype will be shutting down forever, replaced by Microsoft Teams. Thankfully, if you sign in under your Skype sign-in info, your chats and things from Skype should transport over. You can also export them before the final shutdown. This will mark the end of an era, as Skype is the last messenger of old, soon to join AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger, among others. Gone but not forgotten

For those who don't have MS Teams, or don't want it, I know there is always Discord. I know many people who have used it through the years, myself included. If any of my good friends are still on this platform, feel free to note me so we can add eachother. That said...Hello, April. Goodbye, Skype...You and your fellow pioneer messengers shall be sorely missed
