To be honest, I believe we'd need to revert to an industry-wide belief that boards have their advantages and that posts longer than a tweet are worth reading. But I'm not sure how to do that; many providers appear to believe that all boards are cesspits, and the individuals who hang out on them are no better. I'm not sure if that's from personal experience with such boards or from hearing it second (or third, or fourth)hand from others. And I'm not sure how you'd overcome such antagonism to recreate the community.
