I'm a big proponent to the interconnected community that comes through having so many bloggers who aggregate through cvilleblogs.com. I've met many people this way, and feel blessed to live in a place where there's a healthy discussion going on all the time about all sorts of things, from transportation costs to whether or not Oxo's moment has faded.
But there's a forgotten corner of Charlottesville's online community. Earlier this month, Hooville.net ran a poll asking the handful of users if the board should stay or go. As I write this, the vote is 7 to 1.
I voted to keep it, because I sometimes like using local bulletin boards that are self-contained. The audience there is a little older, it seems.
Have you been? Do you post on message boards that aren't blogs?

Waldo's site is great in that he really keeps up with the news and issues -- and his followers comment on those issues.
I wish I had the time and the knowledge to post messages about those subjects on Hooville, but to be honest I don't. I do run some other forums with more targeted audiences that do very well -- but I haven't been able to get Hooville.net to catch on -- yet.
So yes, keep the site! As I said, let me know and I'll give you free ad space, because I need to demo ad space anyway.
