Quick note for FT refugees while I'm working: if you want to go save your favorite threads, hit "print this topic" (it's in the line of tiny cream-colored print, right after "track this topic" and "email this topic"). You'll get a nicely-formatted text-only version of the entire thread on one web page that you can save. I think the forums are going down on March 15, so you might want to hop to archiving anything you want to save.


Edited to clarify: yes, the FT forums are going to the Big Message Boards in the sky on March 15. Fametracker.com itself will remain, however. And yeah, Wing and Glark have said several times on these threads that there's pretty much nothing that can be done--subscription memberships would be "nightmarish to adminstrate" and also, that's what the Outrageously Overpriced Donation Things (OODTs) were supposed to serve as, and hardly anyone bought them.

I have to admit, I've kept to very small corners of the forums for a long time now, and there's a reason for that. I'm more concerned about keeping in touch with people (and saving the POTO thread, because some actual comedy gold resulted there) than I am sad about losing the forums themselves.
