The saddest consequence of the BB meltdown is the loss of all the threads in the History forum.
While the other fora are entertaining and interesting, this one is probably the most important: by definition was not ephemeral. Although this forum doesn't get the traffic that the others did, there were many threads with information that should be preserved not only for us but for future generations of Essendon supporters.
I hope after the new site gets sorted out that the best threads from the History forum can be restored here.
I hope that the EFC History can be restored also. Gave me a lot solace (with all the crap we have gone/going through). Was always a terrific read and a reminder of what a GREAT club we are.
