Here we have the epitome of geek labor.

No bean counter could make a business case for the sweat equity GB has put into this project.   But, like Edmund Hiliary, who climbed Everest "because it was there", GB went ahead and did it.

Thanks and congratulations, GB!

"I would like to have seen Montana."

Actually, I was looking for a genuine tree of posts.

I had an ulterior motive in this move, of course. It was not only a labor of love. Some beancounters may well have seen this work as an investment.

I believe this board's contents are high quality link bait. We have >35 megabytes of high quality discussion and commentary. Combined with the descriptive domain name, we should do well in the search engine results pages now. If anything were to improve our visibility and help get new members, this would do it.

Eventually I want to open up a section of this URL for public blogs with comment threads. Maybe have a list of consultant's resumes, too.

It's interesting how the quoted messages are nested...

I could have made the quotations visible like here on the old board if I'd wanted to change their CSS...
