What everyone has said rings very true. I have been feeling rather grateful to them too. now we know that many of our threads, b/c we saved the best, are never going to be gone forever! we have them saved and can re post them here or there.
Sometimes I miss the simplicity of the IMDb board, the familiarity of it, the fonts being bigger, etc, but I think I will get used to this intime, and I already love some features (like knowing who is online looking at the same thread, and if someone's posted while I've been replying).
And I do hope that they grow up to be happier and more productive people than they are now. I really do. I pray for the right people to come their way and the right lessons to teach them how to be better people than they are currently acting like. They will get tired of it all, I hope.
