[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Dirk[/u][p]Funny how these sort of comments always seem to come from nameless people with an intimate knowledge of Geeklog's internals. Sorry, but my troll-o-meter just went off ...

Anyway, you can't really blame Tony for calling it quits. He's been around for almost 10 years now. With a job, family and kids, and other time-intensive hobbies, the thought of trying to build up another community from scratch can really make you think. He's decided against it and we should all respect that decision.

I don't know how many times Geeklog has been called "dead" now and yet we're still here. Sure, we're not exactly a thriving community either and a lot of that is due to the things that Tony listed in his farewell post (and some of them also have to do with me). But as long as there aren't more people willing to spend a significant portion of their time on Geeklog, all that talk about roadmaps (to pick one example) is just a waste of time. I've been in software development long enough to know that most roadmaps aren't worth the paper (or electrons) they're printed on if you don't have the resources and the dedication to follow through.

Tune in again in a year or so for the next installment of "Is Geeklog finally dead now?" ...
