The end is near...for GWC...

Hello, all...

The time has come, I'm afraid, for GilmourWhoreCentral to retire gracefully... My future plans are such that I won't be able to work on the site at *all*, as I won't have a computer of my own for a long while, and I won't be able to make the payments for the webspace, etc...

I no longer have the time, resources, or energies to keep the site going indefinitely, and am having to consider the following:

1) Retiring the site for good (even though I own the name for at least the next 2 years).

2) Moving the site to a free server, which means pop-up ads and the like...where it won't be updated for a long while - if ever!

or

3) selling the site to someone who would be able to take care of it.

Or is there something else I haven't considered, folks?

Any help/suggetions would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and yeah, I'm keeping my title, regardless...

Cheers!

'Tis sad news indeed.

I really hope this doesn't mean anything bad about that book of yours...

While I myself only visited your site but once, I am saddened to hear of your loss.

Thanks, ya'll...

To be honest, while I'm saddened by this "End of an Era" sort of thing, I have to admit that it's happening because of good things that are going on in my life. Circumstances are taking me to a place where computer access will be limited, and I can't take my own, so... This is where it leaves me...

The book I've written is not a victim of the same circumstances - in fact, I still hope to publish it, once I get the funds behind me. (again with the shameless self-promotion here...) If anyone (ahem...Simon...? ) would like to read excerpts, they're here at: A Marginal Life (Well-Lived) I've got the first six chapters up, plus the two possible covers and the dedications page... (ahem...Simon...?)

What's funny is the fact that I'll miss you guys and your craziness and your humour... Hopefully, from time to time, my friend will let me borrow the computer just to surf, and not just to study, and I'll be able to drop in from time to time...

I'll be around every now and then until mid-December, and then it's "Arrivederci, e a presto!" for a while.

Until then, I'll be around a bit...

Cheers!

Hey, babe...

You know I'll miss you most of all...



But I'll be a lot closer to the UK...

Cheers!

Adios, GW. Alas, I did not know you well, but along with everyone else I will grieve your loss.

Thanks, all, for your kind words and sentiments...

FloydWright: Thanks for your good wishes....by the way, our mutual friend knows all about this...so it's no surprise to him...

Fulghum: It's good to know that you've been by the site...I like knowing that APFFN'ers have been there - it's reassuring, somehow... And yes, this is a great adventure ahead of me...I can't wait to see where it leads...

Cheers, all!
