Life after Epinions?

I guess I'm not alone in feeling that the end is near for Epinions. It appears that they are running out of money and are desirous of freezing the site's content since it's their most valuable asset and is surely worth something.

If Epinions does, in fact, bite the dust soon, where will you go to write? What other good places are out there? It would be great if most of us went together.

You know, I've always considered Amy to be sort of like an internet mom to me. I hope that whatever happens, she keeps this place running so we can continue to communicate and possibly gravitate to the same place to write.

To me, this place is a very valuable asset.

Rich

I will write here - as soon as I convince Amy to add a music forum.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

I hadn't planned on going anywhere Joubert, you still need to fill my business section, then I'll get you a music forum to play with.

EA is still here, which is a Good Thing. If it weren't, I'd been seriously considering registry of the name expinions.com as a haven for those fleeing the Mother Site. Might still be a good idea.

Eh, the heck with it, domain registry's cheap these days. Just snagged expinions.com. I have no idea what I'll do with it yet. Any suggestions?

Well...

There is an idea over in the Epinion forums...

It might be for here though... No idea.

Shake

I'm going to be pulling my epinions and posting them up on a non-epinions site somewhere. Haven't decided if I will 'obey' the TOS or not, considering I don't know what they are or when I actually agreed to any of them in any incarnation...

I've already removed my personal data from the site. Alas...
