I agree, DenverBrian. I had a lot of nostalgia as I changed forum descriptions. I remember it was a Talkboard initiative to write up descriptions for the destination forums some 10 or 15 years ago. I believe that lucky9887coins and cholula were two of those involved in the project. And some of the descriptions were really evocative of the regions. Not all destinations got done and it was a real mishmash overall of no description, bland factual description, and colorful descriptions. The current update will help people know where to post, but does remove some flair in doing so.
