To the entire Guru community:

It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this site, Guild Wars Guru, will be shutting down on July 1st and will remain in Archive Mode. Over the past 11 years, we've become, and continued to remain, the #1 fansite for Guild Wars, and it's all because to you guys. Without such a strong and passionate community, Guru would have never made it this far and so we thank you for that.

And while we will be saying good-bye to our home here, we will continue to host forums for the GW community over at our sister site, Guild Wars 2 Guru. In fact, you are more than welcome to head on over now and begin posting. If you have any threads you'd like to transfer over, now would be the time.

So once again thank you, and especially those that contributed their time and knowledge to make Guru the amazing place it was. We'll see you over at Guild Wars 2 Guru!

womBonk Ascalonian Squire Join Date: Jul 2011	RIP Dennis Ritchie I figured I'd post this here since his death has pretty much been shadowed by Steve Jobs at the moment. I have nothing against Steve Jobs I just think it a shame such a pioneer goes unnoticed. Dennis Ritchie the father of modern programming died October 12, 2011. Dennis was the designer of the C programming language; he also had a key role in developing it alongside Bell Labs. C is possibly the most widely used programming language today. It has also influenced a great majority of other modern programming languages. Dennis also played a role in the development of UNIX-- the father of most modern operating systems. You can read more about Dennis Ritchie on Wikipedia and on his Bell Labs page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ritchie http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/ I think it's safe to say that without Mr. Ritchie's contributions to Computer Science we wouldn't be near where we are today.
