Ken Smith closing blackjackinfo.com message boards

Just received the following email from blackjackinfo.com. Ken is closing his boards and will archive all posts.

In the little interaction I have had with Ken, he was always a professional and sincerely interested in the betterment of the game as well as concerned about the participants on his website, several of them active participants on bj21.com.

I'm sure we all wish him well.

The BlackjackInfo Message Boards are closing

The message board community at BlackjackInfo.com will be closed to new posts after this weekend.

If you have private messages stored at the board that you would like to retain, please log in to your account, go to Private Messages, and look near the bottom of the page for links to download all your messages.

The other portions of the site will remain in place, and the publicly posted messages will remain available as well. Only new posts are being disabled.

Thanks for your participation at the site.

The end of an era. Where will I post now? What shall I do? Drop off into obscurity? Start a new super secret group of hand-picked members that I can guarantee that the pit boss of the Borgata is not planted on there drooling himself (and perhaps also spanking the monkey a bit)as he reads our every word like how it goes on a public forum?

There's a bunch of refugees about to wander into the desert. Some of them are already here, others are trying to figure out what's next. I realize that I will likely lose track of some of the people I have been hanging out with for a few years and that bothers me but things change... things evolve I guess.
