2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Skinner, it's time to close down the Postmortem Forum [View all]True Dough
(17,378 posts)59. I sometimes bump into Postmortem threads
when I review latest threads. I usually back out of them fairly quickly because they almost always wind up going in circles. It gets frustrating and depressing really quickly.
I recall Skinner posting a message for all of us when we logged back into the site after the sabotage that the Postmortem forum was temporary, not permanent. I trust the mods/admins will exercise sound judgment on when to pull the plug. From what I've read in this thread, it's not done serving its purpose for everybody but I've sure had my fill!
