Bummer :( I’ll miss your posts! What will happen to the brand new podcast without you?? Read more

You will be missed, Alan. Godspeed! Read more

Awwww man! I’ll miss you Alan.

Alan!!! I’m really going to miss you. Lifehacker is my favorite blog to read every day, and it won’t be the same without you. Read more

Dammit! Dude, you were the highlight of the site for me. I wish you the best but for now, while I’m upset with your departure, you’re a total poopymcjerkface! :( Read more

I’ve always enjoyed your articles, Alan. One that I’ll always remember was the one a few years back you did on properly taking care of cast iron cookware... I had forwarded it to my wife and she finally stopped abusing our pans, thus ending the years long constant back and forth bickering on the issue. 😁 Read more

I can honestly say I’ve been lurking around on lifehacker for a long long time. I generally dont look at the authors of articles, but with you, and Whitson, it was different.

This makes me sad, but I hope you have great success in everything you pursue :) Read more

You’re a good man, Alan. One of the best. Read more

Hey! Yes— I like it here precisely for those reasons you mentioned—upbeat, positive, helpful. As long as it’s that, I’ll stick around, and you should too a little.

Well Alan, it’s like this. I hear things. After all, Mothers Talk. Read more

I think pretty close. Maybe a bit later, but no later than 2006, I don’t think. I know, things change, but...I can’t say I’m not shocked, but whatever you do will end up being great. You’re just that kind of person. Can I be sad at your leaving and happy at your moving on to greater things at the same time? Read more

Awesome, I shall cherish the trophy always. And never leave here because 1) that would invite someone else to take it and 2) why would I leave, you guys are crazy for becoming actual paid writers (and revealing your REAL NAMES) and then eventually moving on.
