I would like to take the opportunity to make a quick post and pass along my appreciation to all of you and your well-wishes since the announcement. While I haven't read every thread, most -- if not all of you -- have been extremely supportive of my decision. I realize for all of us that this isn't the ideal situation; no one more than me feels the pain of what it'll be like to finally close this site down. (Presuming it comes down to that.)
In any event, regardless of what happens, thanks for the good times and the memories. I'm hopeful that someone will step up to the plate and take over the site; there's lots of good information on here that deserves to be shared. With that said, it's a bit painful to see people copying content en-masse for another site in an effort to "save" it. I understand the desire and in your place would probably do the same. Personally, I'd rather try to save the site we already have.
If any kind of agreement is reached to keep the site running in some format, I'll pass that along. It may be necessary to extend the closing date to facilitate a transfer. That's okay; it's only money.
In other news, I'd like to invite those who haven't visited the online TrekRPGNet store to do so now -- this may be your last chance!

I've thrown up a special surprise to acknowledge the closing of the site for our "regulars" around here. I'll see about making the graphic available, even if you don't want to purchase a professional-version yourself.
Best wishes everyone and keep Trekkin'!
