Yeah, definitely sucks. People simply weren’t given enough time to make plans with each other to join different forums, so most people would have just instantly lost contact. Especially if you didn’t hop on PSD in those last 4 days.
I only randomly searched for a Cubs forum a couple months ago and hit on with this place and spotted a bunch of familiar PSD names.
My first PSD board I jumped on was the Bulls board 2008-2013 and that was such a busy board. I went back on there only in the last year and it was still relatively active but nowhere near what it was. Going on the Cubs board only came later (2015). I only had a handful of posts on the Cubs board in the last 3-4 years but always went back to the place to check up on things so I definitely know it was always active. Now I am back full time, like I used to so to be, so to speak.
I tried to become an all-Chicago sports fan. But the Hawks and Bears thing never stuck and I don’t know if I have watched a handful of games for either sport. So no, definitely not a Hawks fan. 😛
