Farewell

July 24th, 2005, posted by Anonymous

Keystone Politics launched nearly a year ago; we’ve come a long way since then. The first day the site launched, we had 50 visitors, no message boards, and a design quite unlike the one you see today. Since then, PA-Wiki was created, we’ve published over 1,200 stories, and the site is now visited by many thousands of visitors each month. Without sounding too terribly immodest, I’m damn proud of this site and all of the people who help bring it to you every day. Ben, phillydem, LVDem, and all the other people who contribute anonymously to our message boards and the site itself deserve a huge “Thank you.â€

Greg,

Thanks for all the hard work you have poured into this site. While I didn’t always post, I was always happy to come here for my first bit of morning political news before venturing off to read the rest of the online papers. Hopefully we can find a way to continue this. The posters are intelligent, thoughtful and… PROGRESSIVE!

Let me know how the grad school applications go. And when you are done with that thesis, you’re going to feel a good 50 lbs lighter (and that’s not b/c you won’t eat for a few days before you are done).

Fellow KPers, my personal email address is gsbrace@hotmail.com. If for some reason this does not continue, include me on any of your mailing lists.

Greg –

I’m just back from a weekend trip and this is such sad news. The site has really developed over the time I’ve posted here and I’ve enjoyed the interplay with other posters immensely. Also, unlike some other PA political sites (which will go unmentioned) it wasn’t top-heavy with advertising…

If I didn’t insist on remaining behind a wall of anonymity I’d consider offering to help continue the site!

Thanks so much for what I know is an awful lot of hard work!

Greg, thanks for respecting my “secret”. The ability to speak frankly is greatly appreciated. Hopefully somebody with the knowledge to maintain this can keep it going. This is too good a thing to let go.

Good luck with your studies. Hopefully your contributions to the field will serve us all very well.
