Can we at least keep the boards running?
The problem with that is the boards are hosted on NCSoft servers. And something tells me that once the scheduled shutoff date rolls around, the plugs will be pulled, the data will be erased, and that will be that.

I've been thinking of ways to show our support for the game that people might actually believe in the long run, and it occurs to me to ask - if these boards stayed behind exactly as they are, possibly community-moderated, would you stick around? Would you keep talking about the game even after it's gone? Because if enough of us might, I feel that might, at the very least, make a statement.
Yes, I realise the NCsoft decision is irreversible. That comes with the territory. And frankly, at this point I don't much care for impressing anyone out there. Personally, I just like our boards and our community and I'd really like to keep that, at least. If at all possible.
What do you say?
