They're officially gone, unless enough complaints get them back.

All good things must come to an end. That's what keeps life interesting.  |

It is sad that they are gone. America Online was my first provider in 1995. You made a nice replacement board!

Trying. We just need the people. I'm guessing that it's not beyond the realm of impossibility that AOL may cave and bring them back. But we'll see.
I signed on to AOL in 1994 in a reaction to Generations, which when I first saw it, didn't appreciate just how lousy Kirk's death was. It hit me more in the weeks that followed.

I signed on in 1999, but the only reason I stuck around so long was because of the Trek and Sci Fi boards.
Not much reason to keep an AOL account anymore. Glad to see this board resurrected though...

I don't see myself keeping my AOL account much longer. I started with them around 1999 or 2000. It's considered an Internet anachronism these days but I used to like them a lot. I will miss the boards but it's their loss.  |

I still use AOL for another email, and given that there's no cost, I see no reason NOT to keep that address. But I don't know how often I'll log in as Crambam on AOL. No major reason.
I suppose I'll keep the account alive as long as I am.

You know what sucks? I still have the instinct to go on AOL and check the old boards.
Worse, DC Comics did the exact same thing AOL did and ditched their longtime boards too.
