At first I wasn't going to share this piece here because the topic is message boards themselves and Derek quite frankly isn't a fan. However, he has some ideas that you can either agree with or tear apart, to change and possibly make message boards better. More importantly, if you cannot laugh at his characterization of various people that you will find on message board sites then you might need to actively look for humor in your life. Enjoy!
