On a recent thread Warren said the forum is Avatar's business, so not really his call as to whether it will end. I'd think Avatar would like to keep the community going, but we'll see. And yeah, the idea of losing this haunt bothers me quite a bit, too.
Seriously. It's been a great few years getting to chill here with you guys. I think this has have been my most civil, intelligent, and downright awesome forum experience in years; it'd be sad for it to go away.
Hell, this is the only thing that gets me through my workday. And I don't mean the comic. I love the comic, but knowing that there's this many intelligent, well-spoken, talented people out there, well, it just gives me hope compared to the people I see in person every day.
