    Dear soon-to-be-former user,

    We've got some fantastic news! Well, it's great news for us anyway. You, on the other hand, are fucked.

    We are excited to continue our core mission of connecting people with solutions at our new home. Please realize that this is so vague a statement as to be completely meaningless. But we just made so much money that at the moment we genuinely believe this horseshit. In reality, you will never hear about us or anything we create ever again. We are probably going to end up, like, implementing a new scrollbar for Google Reader or something.

    Thanks so much for making our business so valuable and enticing to a much larger company with more money than sense.
