I for one don't plan on being an alarmist. So far there is no indication that AO is going to close down. If the place doesn't sell, JP hasn't said he will shut it down.

For all we know if the site does sell, it may be to someone who will make so many changes that it will not be the same site.

I just know that with everything I deal with on a day to day basis, adding losing AO to the list of concerns is premature.
