Last month I took a week long break from the boards to focus on some family matters. When I got back it seemed like the entire board had been turned upside down. Everyone seemed to be angry with each other and I somehow got put in the middle of at least one argument even though I didn't have the slightest idea what had even happened in the first place. Over the last month it seems everything as gotten even worse here. Mikado left the boards. Lauren has now left the boards. I also haven't seen recent posts from Kelly, Katie, Tara, Irene and Cathy. Where has everyone gone? It seems like most of my good friends are leaving the boards.:(

The point of this thread is a plea for everyone here to get along. Over the last three weeks I have become so uncomfortable here that I have limited my posting to the show boards, the music and movie boards and birthday threads. I've been uncomfortable about posting in any other threads because I don't want to become involved in any more fights. I know that others feel the same as me. TJ even made a thread telling all of to leave the drama at the door. I totally agree with him. This is supposed to be a place to have fun, we don't need all the drama.

I have been holding a grudge against a fellow member myself for about a month now and I have decided to just let it go. I just don't need this sort of negativity in my life. None of us do. So can we all just be friends here? It seems like much of the fighting has been between people who are friends. All I can say to this is, friends forgive one another.

The thing that's been so insidious about what's apparently been going on lately is that a lot of it goes on off-site...so at first nothing on-site seems amiss. Then, all of a sudden things explode, and a person is left wondering just what happened.

That's a good post Crazy for Blair. This very successful message board is supposed to be a community for people who have something in common (which in this case, would be sitcom watchers or at least tv watchers) and a great place to meet new people. I dont see why people have to fight on it and ruin it for other people (or away from it, but still bringing their differences to this board), I always thought of these types of message boards as a positive place and kind of a way to get away from stuff in life for a few minutes a day. I really dont know anything about the whole fights and stuff, but whatever it is i dont see why people are leaving over that. Personally, the only posts i believe that are actually true, are the ones where people say "I am leaving the message boards for a while because i'm moving and will not have internet access".

i too cannot believe that things have got way out of hand. just to let you know, i initally signed up to this site because other than the fact i love discussing tv shows, i stopped visiting another website, which was in some ways similar to this one- though i won't mention the name of it- because i was receiving abusive threats on the internet.

i haven't given up on sitcoms online- yet, but for as long as all this negativity is on here, i will consider leaving this place for good, should it persist in the long run. but there are too many nice people on this site for me to give up on it, as of now. i came here to discuss not just tv but everything from music to films etc. well, almost everything. i do not deliberately mean to cause offence with some of the things i post and if i do i always apologise.

we should all just get along like mature adults and enjoy ourselves. otherwise, more people will be leaving this place in droves

So what DID happen? Why has Irene been suspended and WHY has Katie been rolling her eyes everytime I make a post in that thread?

i feel so out of the loop...i never saw anything related to the sticky thread that TJ posted and i don't know what anyone in this thread is talking about either. i've even looked around and searched and haven't found any drama.

Janice

No board issues, such as suspensions, are allowed to be discussed on the boards. I know there is some behind the scene problems among certain members, but I rarely see fights on the boards. I moderate Chit Chat, and I don't allow fights to continue, ever. I agree that it would be wonderful if all members could be friends, but that's not always possible.

That's right, Sarah. You didn't see it because it doesn't exist. Aside from the occasion wise remark or whatever, Chit Chit is a friendly place, on the surface anyway. How members get along, or don't get along, off the site, is another story, and their deal.

Bingo! I have no idea what people are referring to about fighting on the boards. Where? When? During the old days, there used to be a fight a day, 15-page battle threads. Those days are long over.

Sometimes people just leave a site because they move on. They get married, start college, get a job, whatever. To say that there is fighting on Chit Chat is pure baloney. I pride myself on stopping fights, not allowing gang-ups, and keeping the drama away. Fights, tension, negativity, drama, lol. All I see are Appreciation, birthday, congratulations threads, and that sort of thing. Who's fighting, on the boards? I'm posting about eating cheesecake with a fork or a spoon.

You're actually very correct, Sarah. It wasn't my intention to create more drama. I was trying to adress the fact that it was my wish thay everyone here could be friends. It might be a good idea if Janice locked this thread. I certainly don't want to add to the drama.

Also, as much as it pains me to say this, I think that some members don't come around as much, or at all anymore, because of the zero tolerance for fighting. Let's face it, some people love the fights, the drama and those 15-page battle threads, with everyone venting their spleens, verbally beating the crap out of each other. There are some people who find it boring to just chat at a board where the rules are enforced. There are those who don't want peace and calm.

I'm afraid you're right Janice. I remember all those fights and a bunch of members left around that time. It seems like that once they start something they like to go away and watch what happens in their absence. I guess just chatting does gets boring to them after awhile. It's sad in a way.

I would like to add that this thread was never meant to belittle the wonderful job that Janice does as moderator here. I'm sure everyone will agree with me that Janice is the moderator to end all moderators. She has always done an amazing job running Chit Chat.

When I used the term "boards" and said that there was conflict on the "boards" I didn't mean specifically chit chat, but that there was conflict between members here. This thread was simply my hope that we could all get along and all be friends. It was also never my intention to stir up drama with this thread. Infact, that was exactly what I was trying to avoid. I wish we could all just be happy because every single person here contributes to making this site what it is. :)

yeah, that's true. i think that and the fact that a lot of us have grown up are why there isn't nearly as much fighting as there was a few years ago. though i still think it made the boards interesting.

I think some people might think I'm a bit hostile on here. I'm really a nice person but sometimes I can be strongly opinionated, which is something I wouldn't change about myself. Sometimes on the internet people can come off as being "bitchy" when they're really not just because of incapability to show bodily gestures and emotions. The point is that I'm sorry if I ever hurt anyones feelings, I really didn't mean to.

Janice

I agree. Often times, I'll let a heated discussion thread continue, regarding a topic. As long as there are no personal attacks, those threads are a blast. I draw the line at members openly gossiping about another member.

Thanks for clarifying that, Mike. I also know that you had good intentions in starting this thread. I find that online life, like offline life, is difficult. There's so many different personalities and opinions, coming together. In some respects, the internet is more difficult because, as littlebelle stated, we don't have the advantage of body language, facial expressions, eye contact, etc. I also think that some people get a false sense of bravado, because they're often anonymous. I guess anybody can get tough behind a keyboard, lol. Not you, Mike. You're a sweetie. :)

Has there been any fighting lately? I haven't noticed any problems.

I haven't been working that much in the last several weeks, so I have been hanging around the message boards quite a bit, and I haven't seen any knock down drag out fights that have plagued the message boards in the past.

I honestly don't understand why things escalate into an all out war every two or three years.

As a long time member of Sitcoms Online, I hope we can all put our problems aside and behave like the proper adults we are.

The problem is that a lot of the crap going on right NOW is going on off-site...which then eventually hits the board.

I also haven't seen recent posts from Kelly, Katie, Tara, Irene and Cathy.

My computer is in the shop and I don't really like getting on here with other people's computers (though I obviously am now). Plus I'm tired of this place sometimes. I'm nobody here, so it doesn't matter if I stop by a lot or not at all. And sure, go ahead and tell me how that statement makes me a whiner, because some people here love to flame. I'm honestly a little sick of that too.

And there hasn't been too many threads lately that I've been too interested in. Goes in spurts I guess. Maybe in July, when I'm not working, I'll be terminally bored and I'll be here 24/7.

I haven't seen any flaming lately, but you can always report it if someone flames you. It's confidential, and I would delete the flaming post and warn the person.

Hi everyone! I don't post here as much anymore. Not because of anything in particular but because I haven't had much time lately and I have joined other message boards on other sites. But when I do come here I haven't noticed anything amiss. Guess I'm not paying attention. Well anyway, I have had a great time on these boards for the past almost 7 years. I sure would miss it.Please folks, let's keep it congenial!:wave:

That said, then why are some people BRINGING their off board issues onto the boards - via PMs trying to enlist people to gang up on other people without providing ANY evidence or proof or even a good reason for it.

That's what's put me off a bit. I've had people try to pull me into an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with me.

I've got more drama than I need going on in my "real" life - I certainly don't need it here. I come here to escape b.s. and hopefully pickup my mood.

I haven't seen fights per se on the boards, but you can see some weird comments or people referring to "inside jokes" and it's bound to cause problems.

Personally, I miss Mikado - he was a huge contributor to these boards and I fear we've lost him as we have other great members. I know how much these boards meant to him and it hurts to see that happen.

Let's grow up people. If you have an valid issue with another member, you contact a moderator or administrator and leave the cliquish garbage to another venue......or the schoolyard.

Aww, how sweet. Thanks for the appreciating me, Tom. :) It's tough, but fun. I often take heat for things that have nothing to do with me. Also, people often get mad at all moderators for enforcing the rules. I see it at other message sites as well. It used to bother me, but it doesn't any more. I've found that the people that don't like me are the people who don't want to obey the rules. Chances are if a person doesn't like me, the feeling is mutual, lol.

Double yolk eggs freak me out - like Janice said - you crack one when you're making a cake and does that mess up the whole batch?? Does it still count as one egg or one and a half? I've seen it ask for two eggs before too so how does it count there? Ahhh the mysterious questions of life......

Last month I took a week long break from the boards to focus on some family matters. When I got back it seemed like the entire board had been turned upside down. Everyone seemed to be angry with each other and I somehow got put in the middle of at least one argument even though I didn't have the slightest idea what had even happened in the first place. Over the last month it seems everything as gotten even worse here. Mikado left the boards. Lauren has now left the boards. I also haven't seen recent posts from Kelly, Katie, Tara, Irene and Cathy. Where has everyone gone? It seems like most of my good friends are leaving the boards.:(

The point of this thread is a plea for everyone here to get along. Over the last three weeks I have become so uncomfortable here that I have limited my posting to the show boards, the music and movie boards and birthday threads. I've been uncomfortable about posting in any other threads because I don't want to become involved in any more fights. I know that others feel the same as me. TJ even made a thread telling all of to leave the drama at the door. I totally agree with him. This is supposed to be a place to have fun, we don't need all the drama.

I have been holding a grudge against a fellow member myself for about a month now and I have decided to just let it go. I just don't need this sort of negativity in my life. None of us do. So can we all just be friends here? It seems like much of the fighting has been between people who are friends. All I can say to this is, friends forgive one another.
I haven't really commented on this until now but I was pretty much in the same boat Mike. I was gone about the same week you were and when I got back I found things had changed. I didn't want to get involved in anything and by doing that I think I hurt somebody who never did me any harm. I agree with Cathie too that it's one thing to have things take place off the boards but when you try to recruit other people for your cause for no reason at all that just isn't right. It also makes it hard for members who are friends with both sides. You didn't deserve to be put in the middle of anything Mike. You are one of the nicest members on SO. The board would be better off with more members like you. :)

Thank you for the thoughts Mike. I did not in anyway leave the boards because of what has been going on. I've had some personal problems and we had a death. I had to take some time. People are wondering where I am all over the internet:lol: But I will try to be on more I promise. :) Thanks again Mike.

Aww, how sweet. Thanks for the appreciating me, Tom. :) It's tough, but fun. I often take heat for things that have nothing to do with me. Also, people often get mad at all moderators for enforcing the rules. I see it at other message sites as well. It used to bother me, but it doesn't any more. I've found that the people that don't like me are the people who don't want to obey the rules. Chances are if a person doesn't like me, the feeling is mutual, lol.

I think you do a really great job too. There are a lot of personalities here ... and sometimes they collide...(and if there are any conflicts, off or on the bds, I hope they get worked out)

I agree with you Rich. I wouldn't want Janice's job for anything. She doesn't get paid anything and she is constantly being forced to make difficult decisions. It really is a thankless position . But Janice has always been fair in any descisions she has made . As Mike said she's been a great moderator. :)

Thanks Sonny. It's not always easy. I always say, if you follow the rules, you'll never hear from me. I'm never looking for trouble. I hate gangups with a passion, and that includes gangups against me, lol. ESPECIALLY gangups against me.

You've been a great addition to Chit Chat and this site, Rich. Who would ever think that having a bully on your case, caused us to "meet". Talk about a blessing in disguise. :)

Personally I feel not as known and acknowledged around here as I used to be. I feel like there's this one group of people who all know each other and then there's a few of us who get overlooked. I mean I honestly don't have a huge problem over it, it's not like I lose sleep over it lol I have my own life outside of here now, unlike when I was 13...but still, keeps me less interested in the boards nowaday. Not as exciting as it used to be.

And Cathy, you're one of the coolest people here I just wanted to let you know that. You remind me so much of myself in so many ways, whenever I read your posts in the complaint dept I'm like...wow that's me more than half the time.

Anyway, I wish there was a way to make this place more exciting again. And I don't mean to insult anyone by saying that. It's just not like it used to be. I mean it's insane going back to four years ago and seeing the difference in posts and threads. I dunno, we need something exciting.

I do agree with you Ashlee that the boards aren't as fun as they used to be. Back in 2003 when I joined I had fun just about every second I was on the site. And a lot of good friends left since then so I know how you feel about that too. I'm glad you're still around though. It's nice to see some of the old members still post. Hopefully SO will be exciting again. :)

Janice does do a wonderful job as a moderator, but sadly that doesn't stop some members from making other members lives miserable through PMs and outside the boards. I'm not one to stir up trouble at all, therefore I do my best to resolve any problems outside the boards. Unfortunately, me trying to be a peace maker back fires on me sometimes, go figure.

So if I have hurt anyone or made anyone angry with me, I apologize, believe me, I've been hurt by a few members lately and it isn't easy to deal with.

i agree with every word of that post. from around 2003-2005 this place used to be so chaotic. people faking their own deaths, posting under multiple names all the time, cutting their wrists over what other members did to them on livejournal, threatening to leave the boards over silly things, making parody threads, and of course all of the utter silliness that constantly went on. i've seen plenty of bizarre activity on other message boards before, but never so much on the same one. i'm glad i've gotten a life and am not as addicted to this board as i used to be, but we need all that insanity back.

i definitely agree with Ashlee and Sarah. i feel like Chit Chat is kind of "elite" now which is why i don't post on it as much, cause i feel like there's only one group and everyone else is kind of ignored. there were groups in the old days but everyone still talked to each other and it was pretty easy to fit in. plus it's just not as crazy and fun as it was in the old days. it wasn't just fighting because that did get annoying (though a lot of the threads were very entertaining) there was just always something interesting and exciting going on and i feel like that's kind of been lost. i can't put my finger on it, something just...changed. -_-

just my opinion anyway.

I have to agree. I miss alot of the old members who used to keep this place fun.. even if I never really talked with them or anything. I guess this place has just gone downhill. It happens. SO will always have a special place in my heart because of all the awesome people I met and the great experiences I had here back in the day, even though it's not what it used to be. To be honest, I think I'll probably be signing in on here daily until this place no longer exists. :grady:

I couldnt agree with Ashlee, Sarah, Sonny , Joe and Lynn more. While the occasional thread here thats not on the AI or random board sparks my attention and I say something in reply to it, but the thing is, it's just not what it used to be. I, too, am starting to feel like CC is becoming elite and that only a certain group of people post, just like Joe said, there were groups back then, but we all talked to each other and it was easy to fit in, I remember a time when I was friends with all 3 random board groups, all 3, still am, but only a few of us still post, and I too miss some of the older members that kept the place fun, dont really miss Nate much, but he did keep it active. It has just gone downhill recently, its sad when you're on here for a minute, go to another site, go here, and the same reply that you last saw. I remember there was a time when our threads, well Me, Joe, TF, Lynn, Ashlee,Chad,EFD etc., would make threads that weren't seen as "nonsense", ok maybe to some they were, but not us, and now we're ignored, and no matter what the thread might be, we still do, it sucks for me to have to advertise a thread just to get people to look at it. I KNOW not everyone on the board wants to read a parody of mine that won 3rd place in an SOTM contest, or whenever I've done a thread. Something...changed, people.....changed, everything....changed. There's not too much excitement or much going on like there once was, I do have a life outside of here,sorta, but I still come on here, and sometimes see, well NOTHING that interests me, and when I do, and I reply, it mostly gets ignored now. When people who have been here for a year start getting more "popular" than us, something's up.

What elite group? One group and everyone else is ignored. That's just bull. I see a few groups of friends around here, you and your buddies to name a few. Why don't you just join in and post? Nobody's bothering anyone here. It's a friendly group. I could be wrong, but I think people miss the constant drama. That's what's changed. It's not a slugfest an hour anymore. There's no need to blame it on the members. It's a nice group of people here.

Things have changed. Many members have left for various reasons. Just moved on, got older or bored whatever. New members have joined though, like Yooch, Rich, BarneyFife, and a few others. I think that, instead of focusing on how things used to be, try to adapt to how they are now. I think if you participate in birthday threads, condolence or advice threads, or simply join in some of the discussions, then new members will get to know you. You'll see that you'll get more attention and replies that way; for example, with the parody you wrote.

You get what you give. There is no elite group here. I'm personal friends (off the boards) with only a few members. What I see on Chit Chat is a friendly, welcoming group of people. My guess is that if you paid more attention to members here, they would pay more attention to you. You're a funny guy, Jack, and I know you get frustrated that these boards are not what they used to be. Your old audience has left, for the most part members of your age group. Don't take that out on the new members here if they're not overly receptive to you, or even the long-time members.

I mean no offense, just giving you my opinion. It's not hard to fit in here at all. I've seen new members become popular within weeks. The reason for that is that they're participating. You can't expect to hardly come around, then drop off something for people to read, unless you're doing the same for them. If you want to fit in, you have to be here and participate. You can't ride on your popularity of the past. It just doesn't work that way. This applies to anyone who finds themselves frustrated that they're not as popular as they used to be, while not actively participating.

For the record, I only move threads when they're posted in the wrong section. If a thread is against the rules, it gets deleted. Regarding the Smurf threads, word is that I'm the one who is moving them. It ain't me. I'm not the only one with the capability to move threads. I moved one thread recently as it simply asked a question. PM me with a question. A thread must have a topic, and not just ask members how they're doing today. We have threads stickied for that. I treat everyone here with the respect they deserve. If I'm treated with disrespect, don't expect kindness from me. I am here to respond to every reported post, PM or any concern that any member may have. I treat people as they treat me.

I know some of you have mentioned you miss 2003, 2004. I certaintly wouldn't want to go through that time period again. The gangup was awful. It would have been so much worse without Janice's help.

I think CC is a good place. The members here are good and personally, I prefer seeing the boards with less fighting. I know that won't win me any points with some, but that's ok. Janice has done a great job keeping the fights off CC.

Thanks Jenny. :) Yeah, the days of gangups for sport are long over, as is the ever popular, "Let's terrorize the Moderator, just for laughs!". This isn't a game of cat and mouse, where I'm the mouse. I donate my time to this board, and I'm not going to be rewarded with abuse. If stopping the fights and the gangups removed the fun for some, so be it. It's a nice calm board. It's going through a slow period now, but it does that every now and then.

Well said, everything was spot on!

It's a simple case of you get what you give. If you hardly contribute anything, you will hardly get responses back. If you try to give hell, not only will it not be tolerated, it will certainly be given back. This is a community and a very friendly one at that. If that is interpreted as boring by some, so be it. I'll take boring over the constant drama any day.

The thing is, that SO is sort of a double board: one for the TV shows, which is hard-core and sorts itself naturally out by what we like (and not like) to watch, and two for the chit-chat --along with PM. So the TV talk works really well, but the non-TV stuff is obviously where it's easy to bruise and get bruised, though misunderstanding, lack of attention, a silly indiscretion, or just basic differences in personality and attitude. In this sense it's too bad the chit-chat forums are where most of the action is, always. I've never wanted to offend or be offended, and so I haven't really posted in chit-chat too much, and have only used PM once... But what I really want to say is that I really miss some of the people who have left, because they had so much to say that was interesting about the TV side of things. I'm thinking of Mikado and Ireneparalegal specifically, just because it was obvious they watch some of the same shows I do, but all the other members who have left are surely missed in whatever TV forums they were most active in.

I have had feelings like I wanted to leave for good but I think people would miss me and I think there are a lot of good members here.

I also wanted to add that I agree with the other members about Janice I do think she's a good moderator here and she really likes a lot of the other members and gets a long with them. I do admit i was a little scared of her because she's a moderator I don't know why really but i'm not scared of her anymore I realize she's just doing what she's supposed to be doing.

Yes, I think you hit it on the head. It seem more and more like Chit Chat and the PMs are where the rifts start. I know, for example, that I post very little on Politics Board. because that's where passions seem to get very heated. I know I've felt offended by one or two of the posts there & they made me consider leaving SO. (Although most posts are polite expressions of views and dissent.) But then I thought of that old adage about not discussing religion or politics & realized I really don't like discussing these topics that much on cyber & that politics is not why I came to SO. But others do seem to like to discuss these topics, and seem find the discussions spirited. It is good there's a bd set aside specifically for this, otherwise politics would creep onto the sitcom sites. They still do a little at times, but a little's to be expected.

I don't PM too much, so thank god, I seem to avoid a lot of the drama-which I CAN REALLY DO WITHOUT.

It's on the decline, sadly. But as I said before, this place will always have a speshul place in my heart because of all the memories made in years past. :grady: Plus, there are still some remaining members who I think are awesome. I remember when this place was jumpin' with hilarious threads and young, lively active posters. And yes, this was so even when no one was fighting. :p It was just a fun time. I don't know of any other message board that was even near as amazing as this one was when it was in it's prime. Although it does disappoint me, what this place has become, I also think it's just kinda natural. You can never recreate the awesomeness of what was, and it's just what happens.. People grow up and move on. New members come. I hope this place exists for like 20 years so I can look back through it all and shed a tear.

Something everyone needs to know about (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=89226)
That thread was one of the cruelest things I've ever witnessed at this site. A person was very hurt, devastated, still is to this day. That was before I stopped gangups. Here's the retraction/apology thread, a whopping three pages. How long was the gangup thread, 18 pages?

While I'm at it, to everyone: please don't post any more threads that involve active members. Most everyone has threads here that they'd like to forget, and I've found that pulling up old threads leads to trouble and hurt feelings.

Yah, Bish, Yah. I was just sayin' I miss the old times. :o This place isn't really as fun anymore. I miss when SO had 2 pages of new threads on CC a day.

How many times are you going to post that SO sucks? Members here got away with murder, and what went on wouldn't be tolerated for a minute at other sites, otherwise that's where your gang would be. Try going to a site and posting that it sucks. Wait, please don't go. You bring soooo much to the site. LOL. You hate it so much here, see ya. The Raveywhiner.

Why are you attacking an entire group of people because you disagree with what Jackie said? :confused: People are entitled to their own opinions. We can't ALL agree on what's best for this board. But yeah, clearly a large chunk of people who were here since the early days have left for a reason. Can't really dispute that, because the actions speak for themselves.

I agree Janice. Cindy is a good friend of mine and she didn't deserve to get torn up in that thread like that. I wish I would have known her then because I would have came to her defense. I'm glad the years of gangups are gone. And while I'll admit reading some of these threads are amusing, some of the fights that occured especially in 2004 were not fun. A lot of people got hurt and I'm sorry for my part in all of it.

I think it was only Jackie who said it ''sucks''. Correct me if I'm wrong, though, I think I missed a couple pages of this thread. Besides, why can't people have differing opinions?

But hey, I'm asking.. is it against the rules to say that this place isn't what it used to be or that it has gone downhill? Because if that's against the rules, then obviously I won't be sitting here saying that's how I feel. I'm just being honest here. Not trying to start a fight or disrespect people.

i stay here because i still talk with people on Chit Chat Random from time to time and i still discuss AI on the American Idol board. and just because i personally dont have as much fun here right now as i did 3 or 4 years ago doesnt mean i think it sucks and i hate it or anything LOL. i actually dont even post on Chit Chat that much anymore, but i saw this thread and saw people reminiscing about the "old days" so i decided to jump in. no one was cruel or anything, most people just said they enjoyed the old, more "crazy" days more then the current more subdued days. its not like we were going on a 20-page rant about how much this site sucks now.

Yes. Because we all decided to move elsewhere, that's why we were and not are. As a group, no one can bring what we did and can any time we want.

I still post here regularly because this place is my internet home. If it was so bad, I'd leave. It isn't, so you won't be hearing anything about "sucking" from me.

If someone has a problem with me stating my opinion on the Past vs. Present SO...Well, go right ahead and have a problem with that. But I'd take a step back and look at all the members who have flocked away over the past year before I got upset at an "opinion."

However, I am not a DISRESPECTFUL person so I'm just gonna give some props right now to the dedicated posters who have stuck around and still keep CC at least a little bit active.

Oh, get over yourself, and stop tooting your own horn. It stopped, in part, because Janice stopped the gangups, the 20 page threads ripping people to shreds. Not just your gang, but a lot of other people. When it wouldn't be tolerated anymore, the people who were here only for the drama and fights got bored and left. You guys hung on, but funny. Nope. Yawn. Never thought so, and I'm not alone. Can any one of you get a thread with any replies besides each other? Are you guys mature enough to post and converse? Does it always have to be a circus?

Meh. Not gonna argue with you over this anymore. You're obviously gonna keep on being bitter about the fact this place was in it's prime when we were running it, and unable to stomach the fact so many people are now saying this place has gone downhill. That's why you're so defensive when people were respectfully stating their feelings. And no, I'm not talking about the negativity, the fights and the gang-ups when I talk about the glory days. None of that BS. So, keep on telling yourself this stuff. *brushes dirt off mah shoulders* They always say you're doing something right when you got your own haters, and I guess that's true. I'm done with this thread now, I think I have proven my point quite well, actually, so my work here is done. :lol: :wave:

How many times are you going to post that SO sucks? Members here got away with murder, and what went on wouldn't be tolerated for a minute at other sites, otherwise that's where your gang would be. Try going to a site and posting that it sucks. Wait, please don't go. You bring soooo much to the site. LOL. You hate it so much here, see ya. The Smurfwhiners.
Gee, thanks for grouping all of us with one person. I really appreciate it. I'll have you know I don't even talk to Jackie anymore because we don't get along, but I guess we're one in the same eh?

haha I've tried to leave, but then I end up missing it for some unknown reason...probably come back in the hopes that it'll be fun again because I refuse to give up on a place that had so much to do with my life back when I really needed it.

You know, I'm not really attached to these boards and while I'm friends with some of the members here, I don't really know of the golden things these guys speak of cause I was gone for the golden year that I always hear mentioned. However what I find funny is that you reply saying that Janice stopped the gangups and 20 page threads ripping people to shreds. What are you doing right now? You're ripping people to shreds. You're ripping on people who are respected members of the board. Are you? I've seen you around so I'd say you're pretty respected. If no one else thinks that anyone did was funny then so what? It's all water under the bridge now and this thread has only mentioned memories, can't people reminisce about the old days? Guess not because if we do then it's considered complaining about how bad the board is now. Yet you continue to bring up the past and rip people to shreds. If this thread annoys you this badly, then why even respond? You're only furthering the fire.

If one person said something about SO being crappy now then like Ashlee said, it's one person. Not everyone feels like that. You can't point out that everyone said that when most were bringing up memories. There is nothing wrong with that, there is however something wrong with you ripping into people especially when you said that the people who were here for drama and fights left. Why even try to start fights? This isn't a discussion and this post I quoted is evident, this is a flame on people.

This is what TJ posted:

"Anyone who is found having any participation in running members off my site will be banned. This is my site, and members are guests here."

You are not treating people like guests. People replied in kindness to you at first and you egged them on. You are not treating anyone like a guest. This is not a discussion by you but more like a put down to anyone of us. Nothing personal, I don't even know you but that's the way I see it.

Bottom line, Brian is just upset that we dare reminisce about the "old days" because he has some kind of running beef with us for having fun back then.

The fact some people are overly pessimistic about the state the boards is just his avenue for gloating about how we're no longer able to do anything like that.

You guys have caused trouble over the last year. Making up at least one alias to cause trouble, posting disgusting things about me and Janice, making obscene threads on a kids board (filthy song titles). Actually spamming Chit Chit, and I mean spamming about six months ago, and little mini spams even now. Some of you, not all of you were causing trouble. Regular members spamming Chit Chat. What are you kidding me? I think it got to the point that some were frustrated that the new members paid you no attention and didn't find your shtick funny, so you started acting up to get attention.

No one's trying to cause trouble. Like TF said it's harmless fun, no one's attacking anyone else in the silly threads we make. It's all for fun, and that used to be respected but now people can do nothing but whine about it because SO is only for serious dicussion. Give me a break :rolleyes: It's a message board, not the House of Representatives. Spam? Spam is people coming on the boards to try to advertise or posting indistinguishable things that make no sense. Our posts have a purpose: to entertain and have fun. Obviously nobody can respect that anymore. No one wants attention, Brian...we just want to have fun. I always thought SO was supposed to be fun. As for the alias I don't know a thing about that or even if it's true...and the kid's board? Had no part in that so I'm unaware of that as well.

I think a big problem is the age gap. I hope you realize you're arguing with kids, here. We have different interests and I think the board should respect everyone's interests, not just the adults. Being 19 I'd consider myself somewhere in the middle, so I respect both sides and I balance fun and seriousness. I guess other people have trouble with that.

You know what Brian, at times some of us might have went a little far in the past, theres no denying it. For the most part, all we ever were was a group of friends that came together here at times in our life when we all needed friends and had fun. A group of misfits, all brought together originally because we were fans of Happy Days. It started out as a message board, but to us it became more than that, we became good friends. We had fun, thats all. We never tried to "ruin" this board, we never had any bad intentions, and unlike you we never walked around like big shots acting like we own it.

If tonight is our last night here at SO, then at least we're going out the same way we came in, as a GROUP. You continue to chase people away like this, then you're not going to have any group to be a part of, it's just going to be you.

What are you even talking about? None of us ever registered any aliases, and if "disgusting things about me and Janice" you're refering to the "Are Brian and Janice dating" thread, big deal. That's something Jackie did, not us as a whole. Believe it or not, just because we're friends, we're not all responsible for a single person's action. As for the spamming, well, you're going to have to explain that further cause I have no idea what your definition of that even is. Considering how irrational you've been acting about stuff we did in the past, it's hard to tell what you're even talking about.

You're not aware of everything Ashlee. There was a planned coordinated spam attack on Chit Chat. That's no little deal. Someone posting that Janice and I were having "filthy unprotected sex". Yeah, just a group of youngin's having fun. Just because you weren't around for things or don't know about doesn't make them irrelevant. The older members don't disrespect the younger members. It's been the other way around at times.

Coordinated spam attack. Wow. :lol:

That was our friend EFD being stupid one night, when that unprotected sex thing happened. We constantly discourage him from doing stuff like that, but what can you do? We in no way support that type of stuff, and never will. Again, you take the actions of one member who happens to be our friend and act like we all were behind him encouraging stuff.

I think he means if it's the last night in terms of being banned. Cause you know, the group did coordinated spam attacks, filthy and vulgar things oh and apparently old antics are held against members that have no relevance to today's SO. So yeah, forgive him if he figures that it's only a matter of time before we're given notice to get going because of the past. If anything, from all that's said. Your problems are with particular members of the group, not THE group.
