I agree. Once you learned the major "trolls" on the boards, it was pretty easy to navigate between the idiots to find the good discussions going on within the different boards. I liked the freewheeling nature of the boards and if some of the comments went off topic, who cared as long as they were interesting and engaging for the participants? And really, wasn't it FUN sometimes just to try out some one-liners and bon mots on the morons just to get some frustrations out once in a while? I know it was good for a few laughs for me once in a while and facilitated some funny exchanges with some of the other posters and led to many friendships that carried on from board to board as you came to know them better by their posts. I think Yahoo's decision to drop the boards without any replacement was a bonehead move that caused more problems among their users than it solved for a temporary fix. I can only imagine what they will come up with to replace the boards. My bet is on "lame".
