I know that you also worked hard and very much cared about yours.

Yours was so much more positive for its members, while ours ultimately became the place to b!tch about things not appropriate to discuss here because nearly everyone preferred this threaded version and we didnt want the venomous stuff mixed up with the better stuff. That is why we had a whole separate place, The Back Alley, for angry stuff so the whole thing didn't become infected by such strong feelings of anger. Nothing turns a place into a mongo-dump faster than allowing that stuff onto your main board.

If Boardhost had figured out how to let posts be threaded over there instead of everything piled up on top of itself, I would have never begun this simple message board.

Anyway, I hope you were able to copy your posts and threads onto another platform? If so, feel free to share its location in a post here or to send it via the private messaging system to keep outsiders and trolls from finding it.
