Welcome Lang-8 Users

I am surprised to find some posts saying that Lang-8 will be closed by next February. I had a Lang-8 account and wrote English sentences ten years ago. The number of English learners in Lang-8 was much larger than that of reviewers so that we hardly received feedbacks. I assume that a majority of Lang-8 users were Japanese or Japanese learners as it is run by Japanese company. Some users signed up for subscription or posted interesting topics to draw reviewers' attention. I gave up continuing Lang-8 and joined Langcorrect community three years ago. Even when my post was boring and filled with many mistakes, Langcorrect users always made corrections with warm comments. I can recommend all language learners using Langcorrect to get great feedbacks from native speakers.

I am surprised to find some posts saying that Lang-8 will be closed (by) next February. I am surprised to find some posts saying that Lang-8 will be closed (by) next February.

“By next February” means “sometime between now and next February.” The posts I’ve seen specify that it’ll close at the end of February, so it would be more accurate if you were to delete “by”.

"some" isn't wrong here, but I feel it gives the wrong impression as suggests the number is not large. However, the count of the posts doesn't feel important in this sentence.

This sentence is fine... but do you not still have an account? If you do, then the past tense isn't appropriate here. Maybe something like this: "I've had a Lang-8 account for 5 years (present tense) on which I used to write English sentences (past)."
