Looks like they killed the boards yesterday. Tried to get in last night, and again this morning, and nothing.
RIP .

    The WW board is still up - I was just there.

    They've removed the links leading there from the main landing page, but if you've saved a shortcut to the message boards, those still work. I suspect they don't know how to take them down, LOL

    This one just worked for the death watch: https://www.weightwatchers.com/community/mbd/threads.aspx?board_id=15&forum_id=1

    Sometimes your post ends up on a different board. Finally a new feature has been added! They are going out in style.

    Although I did enter the URL for my WW blog and got the following (note- in a first for me, this is NOT a shameless plug):


    http://community.weightwatchers.com/Blogs/UserBlog.aspx?blogid=1000122


    Good thing I relocated it this past year.

    "Connect is intimate. It is always positive,” Just what I always wanted -- positive intimacy. On a WW message board. Sheesh.

    BTW, I can still get to the message boards because I have it set up to automatically open when I open Chrome. I'm sure they'll eventually figure out how to make that NOT work.

    Interesting I just went to my browser and googled Weight Watchers Message Boards and that link took me right in. I'm like Murple quoting " I suspect they don't know how to take them down, LOL"

    As of this morning, my WW GOAD link takes me to a "About Connect" page. Links to my blog, my profile, and old threads are all greeted with a "We're sprucing up the place!" commercial for Connect.

    Close the lid, gentlemen . . .

    A generous description.


    Though you can access the boards this way:

    https://www.weightwatchers.com/community/mbd/index.aspx

    I wouldn't be surprised if the boards remained functional for a long time. I'd guess truly dismantling them would require much more repair of the rest of the code that runs the WW website.

    I'm continuing to start a daily thread on the maintenance board. Though it's getting tiresome. But I'm not quite ready to shut it down.

    I get this:
    "The Weight Watchers Community site is no longer available. "

    Bye WW, don't think our paths will cross again.
