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 return
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

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.

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

>> there's comments and speculation happening in various threads
As happens with discussions at any reasonably large party.
Let's celebrate a little more, have some , and tomorrow rejoice the creation of a couple of dedicated A-pages.

Z: "Robbie's asked me to ask me" - so, did you ask you, and what did you answer?
Anyway, as something of an 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!
