    I just had a thread closed! Score 1 point for me.

    Here was one response:

    It seems there are common websites that make the rounds of many BBSes, and this is a complaint I've seen in different places - but how does one see all these different boards with the same recurrent post? 10, 50, 100? (And at what point does one give up eating and bathing in order to keep up with all the internet novelties?)

    So, I started thinking (no, really) - how many bulletin boards total do people typically belong to? And of those that you belong to, how many do you participate in regularly?

    Other than this board, I have one other board that I actually participate in, but I've had quite a few of boards where I'll sign up, make a few posts, then lose interest.

    I belong to probably half a dozen - a couple musician-related boards, HoustonProFootball.com's board and two or three related to website design and development.

    I post very rarely on the Texans board and almost never on the musicians boards - mostly for reference. I post sparingly on a couple of the website design boards and just lurk on another.

    This is the only one I really post on regularly.

    I only post on one. I'm surprised I even learned how to do that.

    and it looks like he's a yao fan.

    anyway, someone started a thread a while back about the top 100 message boards. one that caught my eye was called general mayhem. i look through it once a month or so.
