I guess it was fun while it lasted. Take care, fellow Five-O heads.
I leave you all with the wise words of our friend Big Chicken: "Peace. The law is cooool. The law protects people from other people sayin' baaaad things about them. Ya gotta respect the system. Ya can't buck the system, Chah-lee. The law is coooool. So peace. And remembah, ain't no big ting, bruddah. No chance, no waaay. Peace!"
Connery, Moore, and Brosnan! Accept NO substitutes!
Does anyone know if once the boards are closed, they will still be available for read-only access? There are limits as to how far back comments go, though, and they seem to have the place set up so that it is not archived in the Wayback Machine at http://www.archive.org, for example.
Here are some comments about the closing (not particularly against the move):

we announced our decision to disable our message boards on February 3, 2017 but will leave them open for two additional weeks so that users will have ample time to archive any message board content they'd like to keep for personal use.

Alpha, didn't you archive some of your postings about "best of" the seasons somewhere else on IMDB? I hope that those will not be eliminated as well. Maybe you can run links to those by us. I would like to make note of them myself.
shareIf anyone is interested, I have a Discussion Forum on my Five-O/Zero site which has been going off and on for about 20 years. In fact, the original Guestbook for my site started in June 1997!

Registration is required to participate ... just like at IMDB.

Hawaii Five-O Best Episode of Each Season (as voted by IMDB users)
Say we want to do a re-vote further down the line to see what the best episode of each season really is ... I guess we can't. This is it, eh? - ringfire211
