The decline and eventual passing of MSN groups had a lot to do with myself and a lot of my friends giving up on forums. They weren't updated and the 3MB storage limit was a joke. But since you could have the same nickname across the whole groups network it made it easy to recognize familiar 'faces'. I'm just saying this to agree with Dale, forums are a dying breed, but this is the only one I know of where there's something to talk about every day in the OT area. You can't see the coffee shop until you've registered and posted right? So people who visit to just read the messages might not know it's there. Facebook isn't the same at all, there's not the degree of contact you get in forums. Somebody here said it's mostly people posting pictures of their dogs (and complaining about their spouses), and that's not far from the truth. Oh, well, there's Farmville of course.
Run you clever boy. And remember...
