I think eventually GoA will dwindle down to two people and they will have each other on Ignore.

Keeping the dream alive! I like it.
AO had a great center of gravity that I think will be difficult to duplicate. Support from Coaching Actuaries or another well regarded material study provider could be a big plus.
I remember Abe W. and a couple other authors spending time answering questions on the AO. I think that was win-win, they sold more manuals and the students learned more.

There were some unique combinations of circumstances that built the original ao. Stuff that wonāt happen anymore
The societies were pushing for non anonymous posting for one. Cas had conflict over posting habits. And we somehow managed to keep our site online when marks came out, when the societies websites went down under the load.
The only draw today would be a year long plus sustained push on exam posts, and as I noted previously we gave that a try, it didnāt fold immediately and we donāt have the resources to sustain what would be required to make the exam sections self sustaining.
Which as I also noted, is fine. Itās a community site and thatās ok with everyone I think.
Plus maybe if I return to exams next year, Iāll start asking dumb questions in the exam forum. Life contingencies, are they even real?

Only if you measure in dog years, and then a while. 
Oh thatās too bad. They needed a better name, like ādrunk hookup-villeā
I might have gone if thatās what it was called.
I found out on the old ao that i might as well have been posting under my real name. Because I had a performance review and my manager started quoting exact things I said on the ao.

Maybe what the world needs is a dating site for actuaries.
When i invited you to that one party at my house one of my coworkers took me aside and was like āDo you know who that is? He used to work with my sister and he posts crazy stuff on the AO!!!ā
Is this all for realsies.
I remember that house party very well. But I have no memory of posting ācrazyā stuff on the AO
