The end of JavaRanch?

Topic: ANNOUNCEMENT - Check it out!
Hi everyone,
I'd like to draw some attention to another post elsewhere, where some of you might not normally be looking.
This has been a "moderator-only" issue for some time, but now that it is public, I'm making sure everyone in my forum is aware.
Please read the following, and post any replies you may have, in that thread.
(this one is being closed, so you'll have to)
