Hi Everyone,

I am very pleased to see the overwhelmingly positive reaction the news today. It makes me even more certain that it was the right decision to go into this with Robbie and the Consortium.

While dusting off old systems, and moving data across, I promise that we will keep a lookout for NightHoover .. who knows, he might receive word that things are happening and smiley - magicreturnsmiley - magic

Time will tell, we have interesting times ahead...

I think we should ponder this a moment - what would everyone do if he actually DID return? How would you explain his apparent canonization on here? LOL

Good Doctor Zomnker (This must be Tuesday," said GDZ to himself, sinking low over his Dr. Pepper, "I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.")

I am so glad that this community now has a place to go! Thank you to everyone that has made this happen!

I once spotted the much rarer creature - a sober 2legs.

Only briefly though. Then the pub opened.

Is there a No Researcher Left Behind A page yet? I want to start a thread on something, but could do that in Ask too.

Kea - are you sure you don't want to wait until we're in a position to be able to discuss the transition arrangements in more detail?

It's about Taff (and other researchers' work access). Just wanted to open a dialogue all in one place.

Sorry.

I suspect Ask may be the place to do it for now.

And yes I can wait smiley - smiley It's just there's comments and speculation happening in various threads. I thought it'd be good to have a dedicated thread.

As happens with discussions at any reasonably large party. smiley - biggrin

Let's celebrate a little more, have some smiley - alesmiley - bubblysmiley - teasmiley - cake, and tomorrow rejoice the creation of a couple of dedicated A-pages.

IMSoP - Safely transferred to the 5th (or 6th?) h2g2 login system

Z: "Robbie's asked me to ask me" - so, did you ask you, and what did you answer? smiley - silly

Anyway, as something of an smiley - elvis with fond memories of this place, who checks in every now and then to see if it's still here, I have to say this sounds like a really positive outcome from the whole situation. I shall look forward to some of the exciting new developments, and may end up back here again yet - although I'm slightly nervous of whether my venerable 6-digit user account will survive yet another login migration!

smiley - erm[IMSoP]smiley - goodluck

PS smiley - huh My elvis smiley elvissed?
