What does everybody think on Slipknot's decision to continue without Paul?

Paul Gray of Slipknot died a few months back which put the band on hiatus. Paul was the bass player and one of the founding members of Slipknot. Slipknot’s “All Hope Is Gone” album wasn’t to great neiter was “Subliminal Verses” (altho alright). Slipknot’s first two albums had balls though. But now they want to record a 5th album without replacing Paul, even onstage. How do Slipknot fans out there feel about this?
