It appears that there is very little interest in the RIP Goldi ping list. I am going to delete it.

Re: the closing of LP...
Apologies for requesting info that is probably old news to most already here; but, the last I heard, sysadmin was planning to continue LP for the foreseeable future with the possibility of it being taken over by someone else; and, that a few potential takers-over had already offered proposals of sorts. Am wondering what happened since then that caused the decision to close completely...
That's what happened. He decided to close it down after the voting process turned into a sniping session.
I think he and Neil felt that all things considered there was no replacement for Goldi and that closing the site would be the most fitting action to her memory. It was a clean, neat resolution.
Thanks for the replies. I sort of understand the reasoning from Neil's an sysadmin's standpoint with all the bickering; but, it's a shame for the archives to also be closed. There's a lot of good info there that anyone familiar with the site could retrieve. In other words, the archives could be used as a reference source, for some, at least...
Regardless, this seems to be a well organized and run forum; so, I'm sure all will work out for the best...
Just curious, I missed whatever announcement was made about voting for something. Was the voting about who would become owner?
