I was at mobile read before as well, and I check it semi-regularly as-is, and there isn't much need to visit the xda thread if you don't own another rooted "official" android device, at least until someone releases their back-ups.

And thats my main problem with the new board, people will start asking questions there and they wont get the answers they need because we are all still here. I'm fine with starting a new, dedicated one if and when this one is shut down, but until then I see no reason.

Also, once I'm done downloading the forums, I'll offer them up as a download from my site(though that might be awhile...)
