I'll admit that the thought of blanking the boards -- as cheap revenge for "monetization" -- had appealed to me, but hell, Yuku was doing the same thing. All that's changed is the system by which we get rid of the ads. So no, we won't do that. And having the site as a backup/archive is a good idea. As far as how long they live for after that, well, it's no further expense to them to just keep the boards going, and after the Yuku credit runs out every time someone wanders in they'll get adviews; I suspect even fossil forums are moneymakers for them.
Locking the boards behind us after we leave seems like a good idea to keep people from being confused. After we add a "Go here!" notice in each one so anyone getting directed here by nearly twenty years of end-of-chapter links knows where to move to.
