What would you do if SDMB failed to exist?

Hold the other end of the match.

Go on with my life. Find some other way to waste my time at work.

It is just a message board.

As an eye witness (apparently) can we look forward to your testimony?

I just checked and you’ve posted 49 times this month. I’d put money on that being more active than most.

I’d be sad for a while and find a new place to hang out. I already know this, because the Straight Dope is that “new” place for me. Back in the mid-to-late 90s I spent as much time on the Buzzsaw boards as here, but then it simply ceased to exist in…2000? (someone help me out, I know there are other former Sawn here). I found this place a year or so later.

I know people are all, “we’d get the band back together!” but I really doubt it. The group at Buzzsaw was even more tightknit than here, and none of our alternate plans for keeping in touch survived a whole year. If this place went poof people would drift. It’s what people do.

It seems that some of you perused the Boobs Thread at Giraffe Boards while this site was down. :wink:

So what did everyone else do, if not visit the Giraffe Boards?

I’d spend more time working, and would make enough money to get mistress. However, my wife is smarter than me, she would find out and take the kids, driving me to depression, alcoholism and despair, eventually losing both my company and the tiny apartment I’d would have been forced to live in. I would wind up homeless, bumming cigarettes and stealing food and sake, living under a bridge in a blue plastic tarp.

But other that that, not much difference.

You had a busy day yesterday.

Finally snap, start working on my political manifesto in earnest, begin hanging around beer halls attracting like-minded disaffected maniacs…

Been reading the Dope since late 2000, it would be a pretty big loss…
For a while.
But porn conquers everything…

The SDMB did fail to exist a couple mornings ago. I think I just went over to Fark.
