Thought I'd posted this earlier, but can't see it, so I'll repeat it.

I'd like to request the following boards:

Land of Off Topic Posts (currently in Fool Fringe)
Holiday Ideas & Advice (Helpful Fools)
Wildlife (Fool Café)
Wills & Probate - Practical (Managing Your Finances)

Why not try to just re-create all the Fool boards (except for the shares ones) and see who uses them - you can always delete them later, but its easier to create than to try to remember what existed after they've been deleted from the Fool.

Same as TMF: http://boards.fool.co.uk/index.aspx

The big question is whether to create them as top-level forums, or as folders inside other folder groups - I'd say the former as that seems to be more in keeping with the Fool layout. We can tweak the front page to be more like the old Fool "Board Index" page later.

create the same layout and we'll tweak the index page to look more like the old one, ie without the big list of all forums, just links.

Me too. Although I would prefer it to be called Financial Independence, or something. I will probably get there in 2017, ten years before hitting 65, but that seems too young to "retire".

I would love to see some old Fool fringe boards:

Football Fools
Hattrick fantasy football

Sportsbetting and Poker doesn't get used much anymore, so how about:

Fantasy football and other sports related gaming

Repeated requests from so many people for this one. Trusts are a basic investment instrument and it was a well-used board at Fool UK. Could we please get this one added soon. Thanks.

I'm Financially Independent and will Retire Early soon. It took me 9 years from the start of my journey and I'm now 44. I'm posting on the Retirement Investing board and there's a few of us already having some great discussion. Feel free to join us over there.

Then if we do get a FIRE, FI or ER board maybe we can get the posts moved.

Another vote for 'portfolio management and review'. As an infrequent trader, I find (found) this TMF board very useful and informative. Thanks Stooz and Clariman for all your efforts! :D

Request for 'Building & DIY'.
I'm sure it's been requested (several times?) already but I'll add my voice.

My best wishes for a successful replacement to the indispensable 'my fool'!

Awesome work on getting this up and running so quickly :D

I do enjoy the Car/Driving board, could be merged with Motorcycles maybe.

Thanks again.
