Glad to see my memory doesn't fail me. That was a very weird time from the inside.

The "community" (in its online sense, a marketing term I loathe) is not the people who are active on the site, but everyone who should be able to read it: those who love it now and will in the future.

Can someone explain to me how it is right that a so-called government that has not won an election can effect the destruction of our recent heritage?

Because a government that was voted in crashed the economy?

Seriously though, that isn't really worth discussing except perhaps on a seperate thread for people who want to get hot headed about such things.

Cut happen in times of austerity. h2g2 really isn't a priority for the BBC. smiley - shrug We had a good ten years under the BBC. That's better than the zero years we'd've had without them.

This site explains the way the Licence Fee is spent

http://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/licencefee/

How the licence fee was spent in 2009/2010

At least this year I won't have to look up on a site to find out how its spent...100% is going to h2g2

Mol - on the new tablet

Thanks for letting us know, Nick.

I will miss H2G2 if it goes. But - nothing lasts forever.

And having supported my husband through the decommissioning of his own part of the BBC, and subsequent redundancy, my thoughts are mostly with the staff.
