Is it the end of Tindie Fundraisers?

I'm a couple of months away from putting my product on Tindie. Since I'm on an INCREDIBLY tight budget I can't really afford to take the risk of putting 250 USD into my project. I decided to go with the Tindie Fundraiser - much simpler than a real crowdfunding campaign and seems to work pretty well. Perfect.

So, yesterday I asked Tindie a random question about the fundraisers at Twitter. Their response ends with the words "However we are sunsetting fundraisers today". WTF?

And that's it. I asked them for more details but they didn't respond. Now, I might just be an idiot and have misunderstood their tweet (ya know, I'm not a native English speaker). If it's true, though, I'm in the deepest shit, because my project will probably just die.

It's funny, cause that tweet was the only place I found this information. It's not mentioned anywhere else.

Here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/tindie/status/420332176484229120

I speak English, due mainly to me being English, and I have absolutely no idea what they mean either.

Seems fundraisers have been "put to sleep". At least I can't create any new ones.

Sunsetting sounds like something they would learn at the Euphemistic Management Resort.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a little suspicious? Given that it's not just a misunderstanding, they seem oddly quiet about it. They keep announcing all these discounts, while not mentioning the end of their big feature.
