I think he's talking about the PI forum ending, and not the realbig list.

Ending the email forum...WTF? Just take your football and go home because
your team is losing!  CLEARLY, Pantera owners like this better, thus its
success.  Shutting it down would just reduce communication to the level that
exisits at the other sites, speaking only for myself of course, I wouldn't
be visiting another website.
I do this because it comes to me, I open the ones that interest me, its as
simple as that.  MICHAEL SHORTT
