Seriously, I hope the deal goes through. I'd like to be a part of this community again. If it doesn't work out, thanks for maintaining this place for the last 10 years, Raps. Thanks to all the mods. Thanks to all the long time posters, and the long time readers. Thanks to the new blood and the old money. Through uptime and downtime, this website has persisted since the '90s (according to Wayback Machine), and I sincerely hope it continues to do so, and would be more than willing to throw a few dollars a month toward ensuring it does so.
Pretend there's something here that sounds insightful, but is really just some pseudo-intellectual bull.
I'm hoping against hope that the proposed deal Raps has been talking about the last few posts does come together, and things stay as they are, or get revitalized, rather than this place getting shut down or destroyed by someone with no clue. Because that would just add to the stellar list of craptastic things in my life this month. My year has started off in epically horrible fashion, to be honest.
But enough selfish whining on my part.
Raps, first and foremost, as I'm sure you know, you need to do what is best for you. A lot of people have come to call this place home over the years, and clearly that has weighed on your decision-making process, but in the end you have to put yourself first. I am sure that the vast majority of the good people here will support you in whatever decision you make. Because things would be lame without this place, but think how lame they would have been if this place hadn't been around for the last ten years. And that, my friend, is your doing.
So, with all sincerity and appreciation, let me thank you for what you've done for this site and its members over the last decade, and wish you well in whatever future endeavors you pursue. I shall raise my next libation in your honor.
And now, there is only one thing left to say to you, Mr. Rapscallion:
"Captain, my Captain!"

Just thought I'd throw this out here: If CS does shut down, maybe somebody could create a Customers Suck subreddit? There's already a Tales From Retail sub there.
Edit: Good news, the Customers Suck sub hasn't been claimed yet.

I'd be willing to throw up a forum and host it - might not be as nice and neat as this one but it would do the job.

Oh right, like I need another excuse to spend more time on reddit?
Random conversation: Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
DDD: Cuz it's cool
So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

Just to clarify:
I'm doing the contract checking thing, and all being well the forum should switch hands at the end of February and ... not lose any content. There'll be a new owner, I'll be hanging on as advisor/admin, and intend to be around for quite some time after. In the unlikely event that everything falls through, I have several other interested parties who are offering something similar.
Yay! Thanks Raps! I know you need to do what's best for you (I can't imagine how much time and effort it takes to run a place like this) but thank you for trying to do your best by us at the same time. You didn't have to go that extra mile, but it means so much to us all that you did.
