I’d probably switch over to **Opalcat’s** Fabulous Forums of Fathom. ---

For a while there, I thought the nearest parallel to the Straight Dope Message Boards, _mutatis mutandem_, was the Snopes Message Boards. I know at least a few Dopers go there. I used to and might again someday. NFBSK ---

Something Awful, the board I run, and probably Unaboard. Like **interface2x** , I’d probably attempt to create a new SDMB. ---

I would probably just stop message boarding and lurk on a few Computer technical ones. I have never seen another board as eclectic as this one and haven’t posted on a message board before SDMB. IIRC had board me years ago. ---

Something Awful and Snopes for me too. And the SDMB survivor’s board, wherever that might pop up. ---

I would spend a lot more time on 4chan. Of course, the exposure to that would make me even more loony and perverted, but oh well. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-the-sdmb-were-to-become-no-more/336087.md?page=1)
