The decision has been reversed and the platform will remain accessible for our community. Your commitment to preserving this space proved effective and I am grateful for your participation. We must now observe the transition carefully to ensure the service remains functional for all editors.

As everyone knows, vine is being shut down in the matter of months and it's something that shakes me to the core. I am an editor on vine and a lot of editors have taken residence there. It's a place of escape and I have met lots of people from vine that have become my friends. So I'm hoping if this gets enough signatures that they will at least keep the app up and running. They don't even need to put updates. Just allow the people to upload and interact with one another. That's all I ask.

I have been with vine since the very beginning when it first opened up the app to the public. At first, I was just someone that snooped through profiles and shared a laugh every now and then. Yet I ended up finding an editing account that later inspired me to start editing on August 23, 2014. My edit was just a few gifs and a random song thrown on top, but that sparked something inside me to edit and to improve my skills. Well over 2 years later, I have gained almost 50k followers and made friends through this amazing app. This is the story for many other people across the world. Please don't let this go away.

So much fun to watch. I've never uploaded a video myself, but it's great to watch random videos on a snowy New England Saturday afternoon. I'm sure most people would pay for the content/ to maintain the site of the cost were reasonable.

I am a vine user. Vines like my second home. I can be myself there. Express my self the way I need too. I get to do and watch the things I adore the most. I never get to do what I love at home and vine is all I have. Please don't shut it Down.

Vine is so important to so many people. There a huge percentage of people on the app that is a part of the editing community. We edit because it's more than a hobby to us, it's a form of expression. I cant imagine my life without making those small 6 second edits.

Vine may be an place for ugly things to be posted but lots of us get enjoyment for it and usually help us through the day! We may be people that just sit in our bed looking at stupid things or ever inappropriate stuff but adleast we feel free from the hell that is called life

Vine saved my life, I had depression, didn't have will to do nothing, which includes videos, vine gave me back this will, and now vine is shutting down. Please don't do this to us, we love vine sm, it means so much to a lot of people, including me.
