I just got this email from Mari. So yes, it's official. TOBB is done.

Hi all --

Unfortunately, we've made the tough decision to shut down the bulletin board system. As you all know, the boards have been inundated with spam and other technical issues, and the company that supported the software for the boards has gone out of business, leaving us with no way to make necessary repairs or improvements.

Next week, I'll be posting an official letter explaining this to the bulletin board community, and providing everyone with links to our other social media forums. But we wanted to send you all a personal note since you have been so active and helpful in maintaining the boards in recent months and, in some cases, years. As a thank you, we'll be mailing each of you a token of our appreciation.

Thanks for all your help. And if you're ever in the Boston area, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We'd be happy to show you around the test kitchen.

All the best,

Mari, Jacqui, and the BB team

I am forever grateful to have found all of you through TOBB. Thankfully we still have a home here!

I could see this coming but think it's a huge loss that all the knowledge, history, and great threads that accumulated over the years (early years) will be gone. That is, if you could still find it :). But seriously, that to me is truly a shame.

All,

Does any one know Mari? We might want her to send out a note about this board.

EDIT: Never mind, please don't do that. Apparently people on TOBB already know about this board.
