    This is the worst news I've heard all day.

    And my grandmother died early this morning, so that's saying a lot.

    Alpha ran the actual servers and other hosting infrastructure for the forums and PA proper, so I would think there will be a new sysadmin type hire in the near future.

    Erik, we had us a nice chat on the phone many moons ago. Though you may not have known, it was a great impetus and mighty motivator that kept me going when I moved out to the west coast. Thanks for that, and for all you've done to keep the good ship Forums.Penny-Arcade.com afloat.

    Take whatever you want from the office on your way out, and if anyone tries to stop you, just shout "You can't fire me--I quit!"
