GAFF is gone, forever

[wiseheart]

I don't know whether I should grieve or celebrate. Once upon a time, it used be a fairly funny, snarky forum, but in the last three years or so... utter tripe. So, it's perhaps better that the Site Guru put it out of its misery.

At least it has given me the acquaintance of eye_of_a_cat, so the years spent occasionally visiting it weren't utterly wasted.

I belonged to it almost from the beginning when it was a small thing with only a few hundred members and a couple of dozen regular posters. I went back about a year or so ago after being gone for a couple of years and I couldn't find any of the old names I was used to chatting with so I figured it was done for me forever at that point.

It's sad to see it go...it was so much better when it was a core group of posters instead of the massive and sad thing is grew into.

I started visiting it when it was still on the old Voyagerboards. As I said, I liked it best during the InvisionFree period. But you're right. The old members were all gone, and there was no more honest snark, just self-important bitching.
