I've only posted on a few - and I have seen things erupt from time to time - but generally I've had good experiences. Some of the people that I met on message boards are now among my closest friends.

One board that I post to has been going for probably 5 years, and we are like a little community, caring for each other, meeting IRL whenever possible, sharing our lives. It started out as just a board to talk about an author and her books, and has grown from that into something I am quite glad to participate in.

I also posted to a newsgroup that was so large I couldn't keep up with it, and saw some flame wars that happened, that IMHO could have been avoided - i.e., the flamers were doing so simply to stir things up.

But I, for one, am not going to give up my message boards - they keep my days interesting and I've enjoyed the people I've met through them.
