Yes, it matters to me. If I know they're on the boards, I know they're easier to get a hold of if I need something or have a problem.

Plus, I kind of think, if you're not on the boards, what or why are you hiding? I know we're all busy and boarding may seem like a time-waster or a luxury, but for me, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The people who are most likely to get my attention are the ones who board, send me e-mails, send me weekly updates.

Cheers
