Slight language tweaks.

I'd like to send this tomorrow alongside https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/pull/7307 if @andyvan-ph can give me a quick 👍

If it's been a great place to swap ideas and chat, why are we closing it? Would probably say something like it worked when we only had X users (either PostHog or Slack) but now we've got Y people, we've outgrown it, it doesn't keep history, lots of extra features etc. we've built ourselves?

Sorry for the extra hassle (and not giving timely feedback), but I also wonder if it coming from @jamesefhawkins directly will land more strongly as well - a more heartfelt founder type thing?

Sorry, should have been clear -- this is covered in the blog post, which I was going to add a link to within the copy when it is published. Don't think we need to explain all the details in the post, personally.

Happy to go this route. @jamesefhawkins if you want to send me some copy, or I can draft if you prefer? Once I have that I can set it to come from you via C.io.

Lacking further feedback or new copy, I've scheduled this in for Friday. Happy to take amends until then, however.
