Discuss MRgasport's answer to: So...how can we keep our AOL message boards from closing???

No way is this equivalent to a message board.  We already lost half our friends the last time AOL messed with the boards.   I don't want to lose the other half, plus the new people I've met since then.  And I don't mind signing my name to this.  These message boards are really important to me--these people are real friends, even if I've only met one in real life....so far.
