I saw Whispers of Wickedness disappeared into the ether, I believe this morning. Sorry, I was off for three days in Atlantic City.
It was sad seeing it that way. I actually teared. Well... At least it's good to see some of you fine folks over here.
Just curious, how come it was extended for an extra day?

Yeah, it went down between 9.00 and 10.00 this morning. Think I got the last post in, but will never really know, unless someone wants to claim a subsequent one.
We actually got three extra days. Vern said something about ISPs taking a few days to pull plugs, so guess that's what happened.

Yes, I was sad to see it go. I ddn't contribute regularly but I did follow it on a regular basis since it started.
Thanks, Pete and D.
It sort of ran parallel with and then followed on from Dusksite.
Where's Rick Cadger?

That's a lovely obituary, Pete. I feel quite moved. 
Glad to see so many Whisperers have made it over here, but I've no idea where Rick Cadger is these days, I'm afraid.

She's gone, but not forgotten.
(And just to prove it, I had an email from an author asking me to archive their stories--after the website was gone. But thanks to Google and Internet Archive and other backup sites, I retrieved the stories and they're all added to the collection.)
((If we get a couple more stories to archive, then Rhys Hughes's pieces will no longer make up more than half of those in my list. There's a challenge!)) _________________ http://futurefire.net

I guess we're Interactioneers now, which sounds like something out of a Doc Smith series from the Golden Age

Ok, I'm here finally. Hi guys and girls!
I think I managed to probably get the final post which just after Petes. It was post number 4000! I was happy with that 
Life goes on and here we are at Interaction, I look forward to looking around.
Best,
Vern.

I felt quite moved reading Pete's blog too, but I think for another reason entirely. The explanation can be found on said blog...
*looks at stomach quizzically*
WTF?

Sorry, but I replied to your 4000th Vern, and Ali replied to me, and I replied to Ali, so any advances on 4003?

Interactioneers - I like the sound of that. I even bought a Fictionwise sub to Interzone so that I don't feel too much like an interloper here...
