@Daz As always, our comment system is fighting against me!

Thank you to everyone who has replied. Be sure to follow the individual writers on Twitter -- it sounds like we will all land on our feet! In true Internet style, it looks like things will happen very quickly, too.

Here's our 'farewell letter' again, in full (and I uploaded it to Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/BnSpNuU2)

It is with heavy hearts that we must announce that Download Squad, as a group of passionate and honest software bloggers, is no more. The archive, we hope, will live on. The bloggers, too, will live on -- but elsewhere, beyond the lime-green walls of this software blog.

We'd like to thank you all for reading our blog, commenting, and sending in tips. In the past six years, we've toiled through a complete redefinition of 'software', and lived to tell the tale. When we first launched, Windows Vista had not yet been released, and the iPhone was but a glimmer in Jobs' eye. Six years ago, when we first launched, the word 'apps' didn't even exist.

We're sad to see Download Squad go. In a world where everything is quickly becoming computerized, software has never had a more important role. With the ubiquitous smartphone, software is always there, always on, and always ready to do our bidding. If there has ever been a time when the world needs a software blog like Download Squad, it's now.

With our warmest regards,
Lee, Jay, Samuel, Vlad, Erez, and Sebastian

Sam, Sam, he's our man -- if he can't do it, no one can!

Sad to see Flock go. Perhaps SeaMonkey will introduce some social stuff (via Mozilla Labs?) -- we'll have to wait and see!

@Daz It's no fool, sadly. It's true.

Here's the farewell from the writers.

@Ryzvonusef Yep, as Oskar says, literally 'desiredChannel'

But you don't even have to restart the browser...!

@Hitmaker Wow, old school :) Thanks for the link!

@Josh They look way too cool for professional software, eh? :)

@Generic Yeah, Aurora's a great name :) Marketing heaven, I guess.

@Ashish Hm, sorry about that. Another source has '$29' -- but the Adobe site itself says $35, so I should have run with that. Corrected!

@Batman Yeah! I hope the video background emerges. It's very pretty.

@Travis Brown Thanks for the link!

Do some proper screen capture next time :P
