Honestly, I nearly forgot ANN existed.
Me, too. This is the first time I even thought about it in years. I stopped going there a long time ago because Kemp was always whining about something or other on the news page and came off as more of a whiny whine instead of a webmaster. I don't go there, so it doesn't bother me that it's gone. I can say that I can't say that I'm sad about it, though. Should I even suggest that there be an archive of the data so in 20 years one of you dudes can get all teary-eyed for how it used to be back then? You can go to the annluarchive with your grandkids on your knees and point at all the guest posts and regale about out a time when "!!!!1111" meant your were really mad, as opposed to just being silly about being mad.
You know, back now, hoolahoops are "interactive" toys. In the future, they're fashion accessories. FYI. :rtfm:
