It has been said that the release of Longhorn would get them flooding back, because I have questioned the downfall of this board before, but that never happened, and why should it when info is available on other boards.
Well we know this will NOT happen, because passing illegal software is against the board rules. In fact, that seems it could be the reason why the board don't have the traffic it once did. I still enjoy the board and the people 'AS IS' As long as there are donors to cover the cost of the boards ISP and the people who run it decide to keep it alive, I don't see the board going anywhere.
