Explain your answer.

Polls are fun! I enjoy them while they're here. Rare age we live in, I say enjoy it to the fullest.

I did this same poll a few months ago. IIRC the majority felt it would be around for a few more years.

Why would it get shut down?

Wow, couple votes for 20 years. Even the USGS won't care by then.

I voted for 2 - closed due to posing a National Security Threat. Fill 'er up, Sheeple!

On october 17 2008 this and virtually all other websites will cease to operate as George W. Bush is declared under state of emergency the Supreme comander.

The internet will need to be shut down in order to protect americans from terroristic ideals being promoted on the web.

Americans will cheer as George Bush makes them safe once again.

I am willing to place a wager of 200.00 on my prediction.

Any takers that towards the end of next year, George Bush will shut down all of the not so "Supportive" websites after he is declared supreme comander?

I think...
that the PO forums would probably close because of financial/traffic/etc issues rather than the 'net going down

20 years from now, cached pages from here will still live on legacy servers around what remains of the Net. A few geeks, university students and exiles will keep the fires alive through a patchwork network of scavanged equipement. It will be slower, mostly inaccessible and userunfriendly

On the positive side, almost no one emails hawking \/|A6RA or Home Mortgage ReFi loans...

Course im kindof a pessimist at times.

1 year I say ! Run for the hills !
I see : global warming and draught - they just announced that bread will double it's price here in Romania by september.
We will have to import grains - from some country that has more than they need, I hope there will be enough surplus
Also I hear about oil running out on BBC and CNN, and about the USA attacking Iran. And about a coming depression which will mean that cities become meaningless
