I'm not sure I ever knew the actual sequence of events on that one. I quit message boards entirely starting in, I dunno, 2007, and then when I checked a couple years later it was just...gone. I honestly couldn't tell you if it still existed in 2007. I'm murky on the details.

I do remember certain communities being spun off into their own boards (awful idea even at the time, but that's neither here nor there). But I never quite knew why LWS itself ceased to exist, what caused it, whose decision it was, basically any of that. Somebody here has to know so...tell me.
