Dear Diary,
I feel a greater sense of loss at OD going than I ever thought I would. Have spent more hours than are healthy reading the diaries of various people over the last few days.
I hate long goodbyes.
I hate that I know it is going and yet check daily, just to torture myself, to see if it has gone yet.
I am thankful to Bruce and his team for making it work as long as they did but angry that a solution could not be found.
I write having not used OD regularly for yonks.
And write it knowing that Prosebox is better.
And knowing that most of my Faves have moved over here to PB
And safe in the knowledge that my OD is downloaded in every possible format - oh yes, I spent hours, days even getting the PDFs.
So really, I just want OD to go now. Get lost, cut off this long goodbye and bugger off!

I can't telll you how very much I agree with you. I just want it to go now. I'm the opposite though. I'm afraid to type in the web address and see an error page. So am just biding time till I hear the official word.

I am sure there will be many with it as it breathes its last. I am trying to think well of Bruce for ever conceiving the site and for keeping it good for a long time. I say trying, as in the next moment I want to shout at his ego for not passing it on.

Haha I've been exactly the same ... checking every day to see if it's still there, see if any of my favourites have written, checking my notes, reading random strangers' goodbye entries. Yet I've done only a handful of posts on there in the last few years! Very odd. Think it's like waiting for the life support to be shut down on an old relative.

Exactly like waiting for the life support to be turned off. It has had so many retrieves in the past it is hard to believe & accept it'll go that is, until it's gone.

Yay - all the best peeps from the other place seem to be here! Glad you're writing again Blue, and all the very best to you! ;-)

Dunno, I work on the basis 'never look back' and can't bear to read all the staff I wrote way back. But - that's just me. OD was very good to us when it worked. I am VERY grateful.
