Question ID: 786445 I am sure is going to shock our GA world. This
service has been one of the few that I can truly say that I loved on
the Internet. How will we be able to stay in touch?

Dear Brudenell,

Thank you for accepting my comment as the offical answer to your question.

Where do we all go from here?

Dear Brudenell,

I'm surprised you found the question. When the site shut down and I
saw the new GA main page, I thought it wouldn't be possible. That's
the reason I posted my answer before the date we had agreed upon. I
hope this didn't cause you any inconvenience.

Thank you for the five star rating and nice tip!

Warmest regards, 
Bobbie

Thank you bobbie7-ga.

Hi Brudenell...

I just got the news this morning :(

This is so sad....GA has been one of my favourite sites since June
2002 and I have made many "friends" here.

I hope someone can come up with any ideas of how we can stay in touch.

thanks for the link bobbie7.

Im over at the ...bleechhhh...Yahoo Answers site as Canadianhelper...

To bad it is 'free' as it becomes nothing more than a chat room but I
do try and answer real questions that involve search (mainly in the
Consumer Electronics area).

Cheers to all.

"How will we be able to stay in touch?"

Well, what everyone should do today is post a maximum paying question
to their favorite researchers with maximum tips at the other end as a
sign of lasting friendship. This way we can look at the gifts whenever
we get lonely and remember you fondly.

Just kidding. 

Who knows? We too are still waiting for the fat lady to sing.

Dad

We can all sign this petition and maybe the fat lady hasn't sung yet:

http://www.petitiononline.com/ganswers

Submit stories to Slashdot and Digg about it and include the link to
the petition in the stories.  I made it my email signature.  We can
all try to do something.

I just signed. Please let your voice be heard!

I signed the Petition.  It will be a real shame if it does stop.

Techdirt has just launched a community to connect companies with
insightful bloggers, and pay them for their insight -- could be
applicable to many GA researchers..  It's at <a
href="http://www.insightcommunity.com/">http://www.insightcommunity.com/</a>.

Oops.  didn't realize I couldn't use HTML.  Sorry.  here are those

Looks like FAQFarm.com may be a more civilized alternative to Yahoo Answers.
