I notice there have been quite a few blogs or posts in the Q&A about the future of this site once Skyrim is released.And I've had various emails and messages on the subject too.
So I thought it would be good to say something about that.
The honest answer is that none of knows what will happen. Everything at this stage is purely speculation...
Some people are predicting that the site activity will plummet to zero on Friday. Others are saying that - on the contrary - the site will boom as people want to come and find out more about the game or post their in-game blogs.
But none of us knows what will happen?
I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing actually. I took the precaution of arranging for the payment schedule for this site with Ning to be on a month-by-month basis, so I'm actually only ever committed to it until the end of the month.
If the site dies after Skyrim releases, well, we will be here until the end of the next payment cycle. Then I'll let the site quietly fade away (it won't just suddenly disappear, you'll get notice of it). But if things stay lively and interesting, then I'll keep doing it for so long as I myself enjoy it.
Then I'll walk away with my head held high, knowing that I created something that people enjoyed, at least for a time. That's (internet) life - nothing lasts forever!
So, I guess we will see what we will see...
