We, the undersigned, do hereby express our displeasure with the recent change to the Charlotte Observer's online forums, most particularly the Carolina Panthers forum, and do request that the old forums be left intact for our enjoyment. Let the old forums be left up, and let the people vote with their feet and see which forum style they prefer. Don't arbitrarily shut off the old forum and risk losing a bunch of dedicated forum readers just for the sake of making a change.
