It appears that there's some anxiety around this portion of our closing announcement:
"The website and forums will remain available until the end of the year..."
Totally understandable, by the way, as it is actually "the end of the year" today! However, let us not ignore this portion of the very same announcement:
"We will notify all account holders by email of the site's closure in advance of that date."
Good news! We have not notified you by email of the site's closure because we're still not ready to close the site. Also, we're totally not working today. Save up your goodbyes for a later date, and we'll give you ample warning before you need to use them for real.
Happy new year, Glitchen! May you all have a wonderful 2013.
