There are lotsa boards (not ours!) shutting down all over the net.
Should we provide a safe haven for some of these folks? Or not?
What are your thoughts on the "refugee question"?

http://www.WorldCrossing.com/ is serving as a refugee landing pad for
much of the Table Talk population that doesn't want to join the WELL, and
I'm wondering if we should get in to a role like this?
Forums at The Atlantic and The American Prospect are also in this domain.
Table Talk Refugee Central is here:
http://www.worldcrossing.com/WebX?13@@.eeb939b
It points to all the places TTers have dispersed to, both inside and
outside of WorldCrossing.

Today could be a black Thursday for watadoo@well.com and either one of
the vc's he's
been involved in building over the last 3 years. AOL acquired both
Winamp and Spinner 2 + years ago and although their audio streaming is
deemed important( they mined their technology and content to build an
AOL client radio), their outside of the AOL client Web sites, content and
editorial staff, and communities are not really much of a blip on the
AOL radar screen. Today the heavily anticipated layoffs are going to be
announced. Bigwigs flying in from NY and Dulles to talk about synergy,
going forward, market shares and pink-slips.
"Fear and loathing,rumors and panic are running like a spring-swollen
river. Both the
Winamp community (40,00 members) and the Spinner community (1,200 or
so) are on the block. Most of us have been drinking steadily all week,
waiting for this morning to dawn.
I find out in 3 hours if we live, or if I get to go back to work on a
couple of laid aside novels."

Are we gaining or losing members on our Firth site? I'd say we're gaining, Karen Rosenberg has taken over this site because of her ability to generate trafffic. The "three deers" are now found at http://www.afirthionado.com and I wish them the best of luck! So a lot of the firth/drool content will now be found on firth.com/colinfirth.com.
