So where are they?

These boards that will remain, but in read-only format (per the outdated announcement of proposed closure that was still up at 9.20 am)

Just wait a little bit and check the Best Of (24 hours version).

The only posts that show up will be for live boards. And I suspect that most boards that donā€™t have at least one post show up on the Best Of within the next few days will never have traffic again.

It has reduced my Favorites & Replies list to 17 so far, a third of what was many other interests, including the Apple support boards, which, while slow, helped folks out of a bindā€¦

There are alternatives, but not the old connections many of us had in a variety of boardsā€¦ Not everything in our world is financialā€¦

So be it, it seemsā€¦ Thud.

Clearly, this should have been announced in advance ā€¦ indeed, it should have been discussed in advance ā€¦ two way back and forth.

It was, by banners on boards that were going to be closed, but hints seemed to point to it being a ā€˜sometime in summerā€™ event, not the Monday morning thud todayā€¦ Their game, their playā€¦

Closing Spreadsheet Advice was stupid.

Just like all other closed boards, they can be accessed by typing the board name in the ā€œBoardā€ box below in the ā€œfindā€ area.

It seems that TMF powers that be have done just about everything I can think of to p!$$ off as many of us as possible in the ways they have been ā€œhandlingā€ these board closures. This summary zero warning implementation being just the latest act. Unbelievably idiotic on their part.
