We regret to announce that today, Sunday, May 13th, 2007, Mego Talk Ikonboard has passed into the Great Forum Board in the sky. Mego Talk is the child of The Yahoo Mego Group and Raving Toy Maniac. It is survived by Mego Talk vBulletin, and over 800 enthusiastic and mostly middle aged children. Universally known as the Official Forum of the Mego Museum, Mego Talk will be celebrated as the forum that exponentially increased the interest and knowledge about the World's Greatest Toy Company, the Mego Corporation.
Mego Talk Ikonboard was just one month shy of it's 6th Birthday. During that time, hundreds of new discoveries and facts about Mego were discovered and shared with the Mego community. Members accross the internet were united both virtually and in person. Thousands of successful trades were facilitated. Countless people passed through its doors looking for information.
Mego Talk suffered from database corruptions, slow posting times, missing threads and posts in the latter part of its life. It was gently put to sleep this afternoon, following a simple yet touching post by longtime member ABMAC, who wrote " You've been fun, but now the time has come to let you go.", in a post titled "Goodbye, Old Forum - I won't forget you!" in General Buzz.
Contributions can be made to the MegoMeet 2007 Raffle and Custom Auction. Viewings will be open to the public for the forseeable future. A memorial service will be held in Wheeling, West Virginia, on June 1st, at the Toy and Train Museum on Kruger Street. Please feel free to share your good memories about Mego Talk in this thread.
RIP Mego Talk Ikonboard.
