Especially ones with lots of images, like the photo sharing and "Post your desktop" threads. The old images are all broken.
Still, it's not like those threads in AO would up and vanish (unless a mod "rebooted" them or whatever). But WRT our story exchange, the two confirmed participants both have qualms about essentially publishing their work on a public forum (as any publication-minded author should - "publication" is an increasingly muddy legal concept, and since you're effectively selling
first publication rights...). So even starting a thread in AO wouldn't facilitate the story exchange very well, although I'd still try that if this idea got shot down.
But I totally trust the admins here, which I can't say about any other board I'd ever been on.
