We imported the Clubhouse data over to the new server but I'd been vacillating quite a bit over whether or not to implement them here. On the plus side, a few users had become accustomed to them and they were originally implemented as a way to clear the boards of off-topic chatter, but on the minus side, they cannibalized message boards, which is what this place is all about, and their functionality has been replaced by the Coffee Shop thread category. So, if pressed to make a decision, I'd probably have had to flip a coin. However, your PM'd nastygram the other day saved me the effort. Thanks. Oh, and to your "most vibrant clubhouse/thread" comment, I'd say the clubhouse pretty much confirmed my thoughts of clubhouses cannibalizing threads. I don't know if the clubhouse itself was "vibrant", but it's obvious the thread itself had been abandoned a long time ago. Subject 5361 And the amount of support for your position is underwhelming, to say the least. Subject 55176 Heck, I just checked and I don't recall seeing so many zeroes after the decimal in a stock's price before. It traded $41 worth Friday? I'd be very surprised if more than a few people on this site had any interest in talking about it at all, so I don't see why you (and apparently you alone) want to make such a big deal out of a non-board for it.
