And so 4rthur is no more…

4rthur no more

If you have perused the links on the left hand side of this blog you may have stumbled across 4rthur. 4rthur [was] a messageboard where people would post daily goings on, what they had for lunch or when they were due to have their vasectomy. It was a place where I have met people via the board and gone onto meet them in real life.

Unfortunately the last time there was a boardquake, the admin has decided to to retire its jersey. There were accusations of cliques ganging up on other members and whatnot, none of it involved me and if something did, it was a messageboard, you took it as a sign of affection.

Thanks goes out to munkt0n for creating 4rthur, it was his blood sweat and tears that went into that place and for years it was a place to hang out and have a laugh. I understand his reasons but I dont intend on letting it die completely. I have been in contact with numerous members and 4rthur have formed a crack team of geeks and OCD sufferers to help design a new one. We are currently in the progress of developing the registration system and the message board, discussion will also go into renaming the place, that will be a democratic decision by all the other members who have mobbed Dynofoo and Cliqr.

So, not all is lost. People may not come back to the new place, they will be missed, but hopefully 4rthur will live on.

4rthur R.I.P.

Even though I only ever used the links section - it was still mint. The B3ta links board is nowhere near as good :(
