Now that I have y'all's attention, I just wanted to have some real talk.
I was having a super-private high level discussion with @Cotton and I have decided to break confidentiality and go public with my concerns, some of what you read below is part of that dialogue:
This board has been going for a damned long time and even though we have all hung out here and talked forever, I don't ever want what we all have built (even the banned) to just fade away.
We all have been doing this message board shit for a long time (remarkable really) and there is shit here that is better than any damn thing you could find on social media today.
We have talent. We have a lot of teh funnah and other things to offer.
We always have, even back to the old days when there was not a fucking FaceSnap.
I think Mac and I were too ambitious with the whole Podcast thing.
I ain't dying or nothing, but it would be kind of sad that all of our history will die if we die.
Just sayin'.
Thank you for listening to my booze talk.
We tried the podcast thing and I believe that was a bit more aggressive than we have the capacity.
Voices, faces, that is not what we have been built on. It is words...thought... and I firmly believe, knowledge or at least intellectual curiousity.
That is something that has disappeared in the digital era.
That said. Fuck it. We can't do voice/video, but we can definitely post, deddy.
We need to find a way to brand the board (and/or ourselves).
So what I am suggesting is that we all band onto a platform, namely Twitter (X for those who smell Musk).
We can still keep this going, but I think it would be a lot of fun to branch out.
I think that we can at least do that.
