It seems that back in the old days, on the old board(before Tony ruined it for all of us), it was the only way we fans could converse regularly with Mike and Jamie and one and another. But now that Mike is on Twitter and Facebook and has his blog, it seems that the conversations happen there more and more. Infact, I think Mike even said something about not checking this board that regularly anymore, now that he has the other forms of communication.
I check the board every other day or so, even if it's ust to pimp my own graphic novel (Kidnapping Kevin Smith which hits stores 8/3 by the way).
