Well... so long 12M board!

It's pretty sad, but that's the corporate way. And I guess we're supposed to be happy that Zuckerberg's happy.

I have a few boards that I've been inputting on for up to 8 years. Ever since the beginning, I've had this strange habit of saving my really long posts, as emails, into a local email folder. I guess it was so that if I had to re-argue something with somebody, I wouldn't have to do it from memory. And of course, these boards have the annoying habit of dropping stuff after a couple of years, so that was another reason to secure a copy.

(By the way, this was for my own stuff; I never bothered to store anybody else's -- so you can all relax! Ha!)

At least many of us have our various websites to continue the cause, such as:

PS. It will be interesting to see if the Internet Archive secures any of these discussions... http://archive.org/web/web.php Already, the URL for this board brought up some interesting results back to 2012 or earlier, which was before even I came here.)
