Welcome. actually, there was a very active sim league there. i'm sure the sim league people would have loved a heads up so they could keep the league going elsewhere. additionally, an email to all users telling them that the boards were getting shut down would have been classy. instead of just SURPRISE nothing exists!

Meh. If SDS closed this board down tomorrow I'd be like, "damn, that sucks" and then I'd actually get some work done.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Most governments shut things down when a coup is underway. Who is replacing who in this instance?
jeffismagic Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Tyrod to be released. Bills close their message board in advance.

I thought so. I think it was you who banned me.... Hi.....how are things?
Rubes Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I don't know, this all just feels like one large social experiment. Whatever you new folks do, just don't head over to PPP unless you're willing to pour clorox in your eyes.

Wayne Arnold Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I can't help but laugh since I hated the admins. That said, what a horrible move by the team. You don't pull the plug on an official message board, regardless of how many social media avenues are out there. Message boards are different. Whoever is responsible for this decision is absolutely clueless. Seriously, what were they thinking? Maybe Pegula was posting there under a secret poster name and got banned and thought, "Oh yeah? See what I do now." Edited March 2, 2017 by Wayne Arnold
HappyDays Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I hope some of the really good posters like Shaw66 find their way over here
