Just letting everyone know that BOL is shutting its doors in 12 days, that is, the 30th of this month. I'm sorry to let everyone know on such short notice, but the contribution thing didn't work out. I tried, and thanks to everyone who has made it come this far.
*with money being raised, closure will not occur on the 30th, or hopefully anytime soon.*
It's been fun.

Hm, well, in any case, thanks for your work, Tony. Appreciation goes to all who put much into BOL, especially Joe. This place is more homey than any other board I've come across.
Yes, it has been fun. Thanks for the memories and friendships.

Lord, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

Oh my gosh, that was totally unexpected on my part. Tis very sad... 
Especially coming off an already bad week for me...
Especially coming off an already bad week for me...To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?

Wow. What a bummer.
Thanks for all you've done for keeping the boards up this long.

So now I wonder if everybody's gonna try to live like there isn't a tomorrow (because there isn't one on BOL) and try to get 4000 posts a day, or they will just stop and give up...

Please say this is a horrible idea of a joke!
*sigh* I guess not. Dang. Dang dang dang. I can't believe it! BOL has been a part of my life for two years. I was hoping to make it till three.
Geez, this is making me feel funny. Pitiful, aren't I?

Now what am I going to do? I'm going to have to like, go and talk to real people and stuff, aren't I?
Still, thanks for all the hard work that you've all done in the past few years. Guess I'm not the only one who will remember the first few years of high school as being defined by BOL
That is a fact 
Today you make the change from peacetime pursuits to wartime tasks. From the individualism of civilian life to the anonymity of mass military life. You have given up comfortable homes, highly paid positions, leisure. You have taken off silk and put on khaki. And for all essentially the same reason – you have a debt and a date. A debt to democracy, a date with destiny.

Alas! I shall miss BoredOnline. Thank you Tony and Joe for creating this place. It certainly has been quite interesting and enjoyable these 2.5 years.

Only $150? Come on guys....can't we contribute that much? That's about how much I make in a week in the summer. I"d gladly give a weeks paycheck to keep BOL running.
