Regarding recent events

Hello all,
I am amazed and touched by the number of posts showing their appreciation for this site. In 2001 I wanted to create a website that would capture thouands of people and be a big hit. I'm pleased to see that I have achieved my objectives and that passion for the site is high.
I have received several PM's from members wishing to help keep the contents alive and I will communicate with everyone so if I haven't already, please do not dispair. I have sent off my letter to GW but I don't think they will get it in time for my announcement of Sunday closure so what I will do is put the site into 'maintenance mode' top effectively stop it being used. This will ensure people can still see things while those involved with content transfer get everything ready since it is not going to be quick.
Who knows, GW might well come back to me with a different and more positive approach!!
Thanks again for your kind words, but can I ask that you refrain from using offensive language with regards to GW as I don't think they help the cause. Should they wish to alter their request and visit the site, the offensive posts against GW may well result in a less than satisfactory outcome.
Regards,
JohnnyP
