The Forum is Ending

For those of you who don't know yet (I just found out myself) it looks like the forum is coming to an end. You can read about it here (make sure you're logged in before you click the link!): http://21363.rapidforum.com/topic=100167344542

I'm getting a lot of e-mails from people who are wondering what I plan on doing about this. We have a few months to make a decision (Rapidforum officially closes its doors June 6, 2009) but there's always the possibility the Forbidden Forum dies quicker than that, so who knows how long we have, really?

Part of me is inclined to let it die. I mean, the forum hasn't been very active in a long time. Maybe it's time to just let it go? Then again, I've always enjoyed meeting people there and observing some of the debates/discussions that occur. It'd be sad to see it end for all time. Argh.

Right now I guess I'm just looking for suggestions. Alternatives to RapidForum, alternatives to forums, that sort of thing. I'll listen to and consider any and all ideas. Thanks!

P.S. Maybe some of you could start saving (i.e. copy + pasting) some of your favorite all-time threads from the forum and I can store them in perpetuity on this site? I know it'd be a lot of work but I can think of at least a dozen threads I'd hate to see disapear forever just off the top of my head...!
