I feel stupid. Didn’t there used to be a sub-forum about house repair and renovation? I have a door issue, and I thought “Oh, SDMB”, but no luck. ---

The Barn House, but it didn’t have much traffic so it was deleted. ---

Well, I’m sad for the people who liked that forum, but I’m glad I don’t have dementia.🙂 ---

Nope — just demented like the rest of us. 🙂 ---

Was the whole forum deleted, or merged into one of the other forums? ---

I would say ask your question in GQ or IMO, depending on how factual versus opinion it is. I think the threads were merged elsewhere. ---

The Barn House? You mean Old Man Zotti’s Forum? The forum where Little Ed went crazy and “banned” a bunch of posters–with an axe? Yeah, they say you can still access it–you have to manually type in [the URL](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?f=666) (your old bookmarks won’t work any more) at midnight on the night of a full moon that’s also on a Friday the 13th, while _only_ looking at your computer in a mirror. Thing is, though, they say a lot of people who have accessed that forum never come back. Or sometimes they come back…_wrong_. ---

I would tell you about the Lost Forum but…it’s complicated. Is 2015 too late to make jokes about _Lost_? ---
