Just like Tar I have mixed feelings about this, it's a place I used to mod (with Tar, Y and Susan). Even though I haven't been here much lately, I still love this board and it's posters.
This is very sad news, but also understandable. Like you said discussions will go in circles and off topic.
I guess I am with Tar, that I think it's up to you to make that decision, which ever one it is, I am behind you guys 100%. It is very difficult to keep things on topic with so few things to talk about, but I guess we all did a great job at keeping it alive for so long
We can all meet at the TV board and the Alex thread
It will be difficult to say goodbye, but we have good memories about this lovely board and it poster. At least I do
