One or two of you may remember my conlang Gwelhesh from some time ago. This conlang has proved to be unsustainable and has been withdrawn from existence.
Self-referential signatures are for people too boring to come up with more interesting alternatives.

May Gwelhesh rest in peace. What was the cause of death, if it's not too soon to inquire?

Re: Obituaries
Principally the awkwardness of shoehorning Germanic initial clusters into P-Celtic. I had to turn most fricatives into stops, which not only created too many mergers, but also created some frankly ridiculous-sounding words.
Of course, you can use this thread to announce any other conlangs which have ceased to be, or any other euphemisms thereof.

Sounds like complications from surgery!

Re: Obituaries
(I hope the necro will be pardoned. I’m trying to be more active on the board; I take much and give too little in return. I think this was a substantial enough post to justify bringing this one back.)
I think of myself as starting conlanging in earnest in 2009, but it wasn’t my first attempt at the craft. To take a look at that one, we have to go to 2002 or 2003.
Here lies…whatever language I tried to invent in sixth grade.
I received several issues of Muse magazine at the end of fifth grade, given to me by my teacher; one of these had a story about Esperanto in it. So naturally I decided I would make a (completely regular!) auxlang and succeed where Zamenhof failed!
Yeah, that died a quiet and ignominious death. It was utterly awful and nooblangy. I had a Latin-esque six-case system where the vowel marked the case (the Cardinal vowels plus /ai/ <y>). A significant proportion of the vocabulary came from Latin or English. I all but cringe now, thinking about it.
This conlang is survived by the languages of Twin Aster and Akana. (And Istion, I guess.) In lieu of money or flowers, the family of the deceased request you do something extra-special and challenging to you the next time you conlang.

Re: Obituaries
Here lies my first conlang Arkhæn/Arkhæo/Arkheo, developed when I was 10 or 11, so I guess 2007/2008.
My first foray into conlanging, it was heavily inspired by the language of the TzHaar people, a race of volcano monsters found in Runescape. It wasn’t really a conlang though, but a relex.
As my knowledge of linguistics grew, the character of the language changed, unfortunately it changed to being more of an unsatisfying Slavic-clone, aesthetically and grammatically. When I discovered the concept of triconsonantal languages in 2013/2014, I immediately dumped it entirely and put all my energy into a new conlang.
All that remains of it are scattered posts in deep time and these two links:

However, the language is succeeded, at least spiritually, by Vrkhazhian, my second (and technically only) conlang and my most developed one.
