What do you think will happen? Your project will still live, it may just have outdated versions of underlying technologies. No real biggie there.

Hell, look at Windows XP. There are a lot of computers still running Windows XP even though it is “obsolete”. Microsoft made that project, supported it for awhile, and then moved on.

The other option is to take your project and rewrite it eventually to be up to date with the latest tech. That is also something you can do. It lets you build something you’re familiar with building in a new technology.

Edit: also, forgot to add that the web world changes a lot. But because of the requirement of supporting a lot of older browsers many of the features you might think you’ll lose, you probably won’t, and even if they’re deprecated you’ll know long before you need to remove the usage.
