to be honest, no one at DC, even your faithful gob, is really sure what will happen to and with the message boards.
the change is an aol mandated one. and aol owns time warner. time warner owns warner brothers. warner brothers owns DC. DC owns me. and thus, the change will go on, despite protests.
so now, my main concern is the 20,000 (tho recently "crisised" to around 15,000) members, who have registered and grown familiar on the current forums. will post totals be lost? will hundreds of individuals race to register the name "rob kamphausen"? will once banned posters, like those nefarious "daycare boys" ... or whatever they're called... now be able to freely mingle with the common folk of the DCMBs? will hip, teen phrases like "nuh-uh" and "talk to the hand" be the focus of these future conversations?
these are all details that need to be ironed out, for better or for worse (in sickness and in health)
