It should have. The Mods said they would continue to moderate every last post... Just found your post. "The last three years have been great. And I know I'll see many of you again, but to those of you I won't see again, farewell. Best of luck in life." Shame we cannot like posts still.
I wrote a eulogy in the final hours.
Farewell, LEGO Message Boards. Your existence seemed infinite, but those who typed between your body tags will remember you eternally. Your LEGO Message Board spirit will forever linger on in the space between spaces with your friends: LEGO Universe, My LEGO Network and those friends you haven't yet met, which include but are not exclusive to the old and embarrassing email addresses we intentionally forgot the passwords to... For your sake, I hope they are the highest of quality companions one could wish for.
Rest knowing that the citizens of LEGO Message Board Land will hold on to only their deepest and most fondest of memories. The arguments and debates of old are now long forgotten. And yes, we will find comfort by reminiscing the greatest of friendships we made and the life lessons we learned.
So... Cyberspace awaits you, LEGO Message Boards.
In the words of the late, great Echo... "See you around the Network, friend!"
I feel shocked. Due to commection issues, I couldn't use my laptop last night. I was able to go on on my phone, and make my last posts, but I wish I could have used my font colour and replied to more posts.
For the past year, the LMBs have been part of my life. I can't believe I can't make another post there...
There wasn't anything to reply to because moderation stopped.

When I first figured out the LMBs were closing, I sobbed IRL. I was sad that it would all be over, and scared I would never get to talk to my friends again. And I cried a little bit on the day of the closing, because I would never be able to post there again. Now I'm pretty calm. I've accepted the closing of the MBs as something that probably had to happen; if you hold on to everything and refuse to let it go, there won't be any progress. Also, most of my friends are here on Eternal, so I really don't need to be sad when I can see them every day here. But if anyone needs my support, I'd be happy to give it.

I've come to realize something from this: The LEGO Message Boards were but a tool for communication; It was the community that made our times on there special. This place is just as much a tool as the LMBs, but the people are the reason we used it.
I had a lot of homework, but I did get on just to say my goodbyes. I still can't believe it. I got on this morning and noticed I still had posts needing to be moderated.
I'm glad you guys came up with this to help us get through it. I want all of you to know that you are special, and I am here for you. Especially during school since this place isn't "categorized as games".

Yeah I was shocked, I hadn't been on for a few days then I got on to reply but couldn't!

Also, here's my last post/topic on the LMBs in case anyone missed it:
Well, I know I already made a speech but my first post on the Message Boards was also my first topic, and I would like to end it that way. So I give you a dramatic representation of the retirement:
*All the LMBers have gathered at the center of the Boards, where a train station has appeared.*
*Inside, there is a single train: The Train of Life.*
*Users from every part of the LMBs stream onto the train after I do.*
*The Mods, acting as the conductors, start it up. It slowly pulls out of the station.*
*As the train begins to pull out of the station, I make my way from the front of the train, through the hundreds of cars, the number growing every minute as more users hop on.*
*Occansionally, I stop to glance out the windows as various parts of the Message Boards rush by. The longest I stop is when it passes through Ninjago Roleplay. I stare longingly at the part of the MBs that has been the biggest part of my time here.*
"Goodbye."
*I don't stop again until the LMBs Cafe car to dine with friends, and finally find myself on the 'balcony' at the back of the caboose (think Polar Express) just as the train leave the LMBs proper.*
*As it crosses a long stretch of nothingness, I look back at the boards, shining, shimmering, splendid.*
*When we pass through, the Mods wave goodbye as the engine leaves for the LEGO HQ.*
*I look at the giant LEGO logo above the LEGO HQ.*
"Thank you for everything."
*The train cars all split up, leaving on different tracks with a user each, leaving me in the caboose*
"Goodbye."
*I pull out a Red Flower from MLN.*
"To think that I came here merely for help with getting you, and I found something more. Something special, something better."
*I use Star Butterfly's magic wand to make it float all the way to the LEGO HQ.*
*I make my way to the front of the caboose.*
"Engage the hyperdrive. Into the wild blue yonder I go!"
*Two Classic Rockets from LEGO Universe appear on the sides of the car and carry it and me off into the unknown.*
