Was there ever an announcement or anything about the hobbies board? It seems like very few people have actually noticed it.

There was a notice on the front news page for a while.

It could also be that our "hobby" is to lurk in /iaa/.

In Soviet Russia, /iaa/'s hobby is to lurk in us.

The hobbies board's rss feed is broken BTW. It lists posts in IAA instead, and the links are broken. Not that anybody uses it.
