Big Boards down?

[Jay]

I think its safe to say Big Boards is at the end of its life cycle? It's a shame really because it was such a great website while it lasted, even though I wasn't a regular visitor I still heard about it plenty of times.

It's a shame David, with those two sites not doing very much, there is a good opportunity for someone to fill that void.

Very true. I think the only thing in the way of a new, good "big boards list" is gaining a bit of web presence. I think it would need sponsorship or at least recognition from existing big boards, otherwise I don't think people will see it as an authoritative website for comparison.

Yup. It's down for me.

Unfortunately, sites have their own lifecycles and this one may have reached the end of it's own life.
Well yes, it's difficult for other sites to gain a presence although, it's not impossible.

I'm not sure what happened but http://www.big-boards.com/ is back up and running.

That was weird. Thanks for the update!

The big boards site was so badly outdated I had long since stopped going to it. It's a shame too because it was once really great and would've still been great had they kept adding new forums. Except for a few of the forums at the very top most of the sites they had listed had lost most of their activity.

I think that there is at least one other site that is similar to it though. I forget the name.
