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...
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?

Well the choices for voting were the following:
-tpaine
-Pericles
-sysadmin continues
-shut down
The first two choices did not sit well with many. Kind of like the presidential candidate choices Americans have been getting since 1988. And 3&4 choice was like not voting or voting for a third party:)
So sysadmin saw no winners and shut the site down. Bickering had something to do with it, but I think he did not want the legal issues for continuing the site.
