This Is Shallow, But I Will Admit That It Bothers Me

Terri,

Is this
<------
better?

Joaz

That helps.

Thanks.

I had over 2000 post on GD, I easily give that up with no regrets and no hesitation for a healthy Go community. A hundred years from now nobody will remember me, but the Go community should persist.

This is truly well said. I did not have many posts on GD.com forums either, but I agree a lot with this idea. I would definitely love to see online forums related to go discussions such as this one, stick around for more than a couple of years.

I agree with both mdobbins and ketchup.
With hard work it can become as sucessfull or more than GoDiscussions was

Actually, considering that I was only a member of the GD community for a couple of months, I rather enjoy the equalizing effect of starting a new site

Nothing follows you here, we are all born again from nothing.

Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From GoD, that was our home.

With apologies to William Wordsworth...

I don't mind moving to a new forum instead of staying at Go Discussion. I also don't mind getting used to a new interface, although it would be nice if it were the same as the old interface. I'm thrilled to hear that a lot of the history of old threads might be following from Go Discussions so we have all that good stuff to refer to.

But I am the only one who is sad to go from having well over 1,000 posts to having fewer than 10?

Yes. I'm shallow

Am I alone?

Not sure if you're alone, Terri, but look at it like that:
At some point this forum will fold too, and some other will pop up and you'll start from Zero again. You'll be lucky if you get an account with the same name, even (I consider this to be a major blessing in this whole 'move'.)

So don't get hung up on the number of posts, this means nothing. Its not the numbers but the people that count.
Chances are, the more posts you have, the lower their quality. Examples abound, me being one of them.

So cheer up, perk up your ears, and start posting like crazy!
