Well, that'll do it for me...

   The last of my articles have been deleted from HP.  Backup copies are safely stored away.  So I guess my HubPages journey is now officially at its end.
   
   I'm still not sure what (if anything) I'm going to do with my material. I don't have the time (or, quite frankly, the patience) to try and start over somewhere else. For now, at least, I consider myself semi-retired from this whole "online writer" thing.
   
   It's been a wild, weird, (mostly) fun ride since I joined HP in 2011. I've had a ball writing about my nerdy passions, making connections with fellow writers (Rutabagas 4 life!), and of course, beatin' the hell out of all those spammers.
   
   To all who've stuck it out to the bitter end with HP (like me), I salute you with a frosty brew. Peace out... and in the immortal words of Ozzy Osbourne, "God knows I'll see you on the other side."
   
   Earth, Soul, ROCK N ROLL!

      I enjoyed your articles. You were one of the mainstays on this site. It is a shame that it ends this way.
      
      I hope you and other good writers will find the patience and desire to start over somewhere else.
      
      I am going to leave my articles up until the very last moment so I can squeeze some more pennies out of HP.
      
      Take care.

      Yep, it's been a helluva ride, Keith. I agree with you about starting over somewhere else. I have zero motivation to do so.
      
      Speaking of Ozzy, I'm reading his latest book, "Last Rites".
      
      Earth, soul, rock n roll indeed! Love it, Keith!

      It's been hell of a ride for sure. I am still removing and deleting my articles. Until then, I have to put up with the scallywags.

   Hi Keith,
   It has been a wild and mostly fun ride for sure.
   
   I first joined early in 2012 when I was laid off from a job I loved. HP provided a way for me to keep busy and entertained while I was job hunting. Even after I landed another job, I kept writing.
   
   As I decided what my focus would be, I stopped writing about things like WWI and food, and  began to write hubs about my other passion - music. I have probably unpublished more articles than many folks have published.
   
   So many changes here in the last several years...you could see the writing on the wall (no pun intended).
   
   I need to copy my articles for posterity or something. I sure wish there was a way they could do a bulk copy for us.
   
   Stay well and keep on rockin'!
