   Let's play a game
   
   Who will be the last person to post in this forum? You could take a guess on another hubber or try to be the last one yourself.
   
   Of course we may never find out if the forums are closed abruptly.

   I find it extremely odd that the co-founders of Hubpages are so emotionally detached from the sites past and will seemingly shut down the site without any fanfare, rather than doing a classy powerpoint of the sites history and some of their former staff, photos of their first office, etc.
   
   Presumably they once had a lot of passion for the site, and now can't muster enough emotion to put any effort into a proper send off.
   
   I suspect the last message we see will be a simple one like "The Hubpages Forums are now closed to new messages and will be deleted in the near future" and posted by this account:

   I just popped in merely out of curiosity to see if I could and if the forum was still there.
   Until next time, .....or not, who knows.

               It's a good thing that the topical forums are alive and well still.  That way we can all keep one another updated on what each of us has been doing with our articles and to where we have moved them.

    How odd that we are still able to post in forums.  And we can still delete articles.  Who knew?  It's like HP has become its own "Pickle Palace."

    Curiosity brought me back to what I thought would be a ghost town by now!
    This forum is just prolonging the inevitable I suppose! But, in all honesty, I'll never get over this!! Getting to a point... finally, when positive things were happening for me at HP and then...
    Wham Bam thank you ma'am, but we are shutting down!

    Well seems we're still here.
    It's 03.45am overhere. Can't sleep, too damn hot. Way too hot for the month of May.
    So I thought to take a look in the HP forums and there you all still are.
    I don't mind if they leave it open forever. At least we can pop in and say Hello once in a while..

    I suspect everything on HP is being reviewed/audited until the powers that be decide to pull the plug. We’re nothing more than digital assets to them.

    I don't think these forums would be terminated soon. The final communications from HubPages/TAG stated we can "leave" our articles on Discovery for people to read. That seems to be the case. The forums are part of the HubPages architecture. I doubt HubPages or TAG has any resources to spare to pull these forums down.
    
    Besides, TAG's share price just plunged, again. They probably have more pressing matters to attend to than removing the forum, which by the way, is full of important official statements and positions.
