The moderator cites technical difficulties, whatever that means. A while back she warned about closing down the board, and the warning has now turned real. Have to admit I don't post there as much as I used to. This blog absorbs most of my game show blatherings nowadays. But I had a lot of fun on the board over the years.
Like so much of the game show Interwebs, the board leaned heavily traditionalist. Many posters grew misty-eyed remembering the heyday of Bill Cullen, eggcrate displays, and a year's supply of Turtle Wax. Much of the board would erupt in joy whenever GSN added an old show to the schedule, and howl in disapproval whenever the network tried something new, unless it was a close relative of an old show. A fond dream of many posters was a GSN Classic spinoff network, which would be a "museum of game shows," to use GSN President David Goldhill's memorable phrase.
The dream never happened and probably never will happen. And now the GSN board itself is passing on to the great Internet Archive in the sky (or the cloud). Hail and farewell.
UPDATE: The moderator says some kind of GSN board will eventually return. I'll believe it when I see it.
