Weirfan I wouldn't be sad. It had run its course and for the past 3-4 years was essentially a pissing contest for malcontents and not an enjoyable place to be. Membership participation declined and its demise was inevitable.
It is sad because of 15 years of FGI history is now lost. I think it could have survived had had the forum platform been updated at an appropriate time. But that didn't happen. Still sad in my opinion.
