worldbuildingexAs per this news post, AO3 have now implemented an option for users to not receive gifts other than via assignments or non-anonymous prompt meme prompts.
I do not anticipate this having much if any impact on Worldbuilding Exchange, especially as all existing users are opted into receiving gifts by default, and everyone signed up must have been an AO3 user before this change. However, if anyone wants to talk about it (either in the comments here or privately via DM/email), I am more than happy to, and I cannot 100% rule out the possibility of some strange second order bugs ending up affecting the exchange further down the line.
