No, I mean, the messageboard was amazing. Architects and students were the main viewers of the site, it was anonymous with no login, so there were a gazillion aliases and it all just had this intelligent-funny aspect to it. I have so many old posts saved on an old computer actually; they didn't carry over the old database when they upgraded.
For example - I started a thread there once posting as a Russian cosmonaut writing from the International Space Station who "found" archinect by chance when searching google for the "russian avant-garde book." did all my homework on the cosmonaut I was posting as so it would be believable. Some people there got pretty hostile to each other over whether or not it was really a cosmonaut; the icing on the cake was when one person said, "I believe him. I mean, who would make that kind of thing up?" :D
