     How will it die? It has plenty of other boards which are as busy as ever with corona issues and the need for help and moneysaving. 
     Though do understand why you want it back

    Isn't it time to re open the money saving arms, mass debating is good for all, especially at these stressful times.

    I see the plea not to start discussion threads on other boards has fallen on deaf ears. There are a positive plethora of them around the site.
    Down to the powers that be closing the Arms etc.

    On tonight as I wanted something other than FB/TW to occupy my mind.  Wanted to look at debate boards as they are more reasoned on here than what you see on social media as algorithms only show you familiar content.  Get on here to find boards shut and a lot of regular members not posting. 

    Absolute head-scratching decision especially when some people are in lockdown and shielding and this is how they are staying in contact with others. Shame 
    That’s just what I was thinking.  Of all the times they could have taken the chat & interaction boards away, to choose now is odd, almost irresponsible.

    Make the most of it folks, this board is the next to be shut down, the folk in MSE Towers don't have time to read the threads on here and have basically asked people to stop posting on Site Feedback as it is a waste of time.

    It must have been horrendous on the old, less reliable, problematic board. This new board was implemented as the old one was apparently falling apart at the seams. How on earth did they cope then?

    The Referrers board is now in the running to be the next one to get closed, shock-horror, no not really.
