Greetings FOL'ers...

I have been coming on this site for over a year. I have virtually always enjoyed it, except for a few months when I became aggravated with the repetition of posts and such. However, I just said "screw it," and came back on. Of course, it didn't hurt that FOL was going strong on Nick@Nite, Lisa was on her tour, and the reunion movie was coming up.

However, I'm noticing now that the majority of the posts seem to be posted just because. :typing: Since things have quieted down for FOL (except Lisa's tour of the US), nothing is really going on with the show. It's not being viewed at the time and the reunion movie has been seen (by many repeatedly).

I'm not saying to give up posting. However, what else is left to post? Several of the things I've seen could be communicated over email, since they tend to be almost conversational between just a few people. Other posts (favorite season, why I like____, did you know) all seem to have been repeated multiple times.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else feels this way -- that we're just posting to post, with no real new news to share. And if you do, why are we doing it???? :confused:

Keep in mind --- this is not *against* FOL. I still watch my Fandemonium tapes at night. I have seen the movie about 15 times. But yet, I don't want to get so beat down with it that I lose interest. New stuff is interesting, old stuff just sits there...

I'm open for comment. Just please be nice and don't :bash: me.

:bye:

Yes, there are many repetitive posts, but there are also many newcomers that haven't replied to such posts. soo....

By the way, there is ALWAYS something to say about Facts of Life-according to my book, but it depends.

I've realized that traffic has been slow ever since after the Reunion and N@N took FOL off-air, but it doesn't mean that there is nothing to talk about.

Don;t mind me, I'm not really making sense here. :D

I'm ALWAYS thinking about the Facts of Life. Even when it wasn't on NBC, or USA, or N@N, I always thought about it. There's always something new to think about with it.

I agree with you to a point, Jayman. The post are becoming repetitive and the boards have slowed down alot ever since all things FOL have gone off the air.
However, I find nothing wrong with the fact that posts are repetitive and some posts are for conversation only. At least people are still posting at the FOL board, wheras a majority of the other boards are....incredibly unactive to say the least. People have made good friends on this board, so it's cool that we can all come and talk, whether it be FOL related or not. I'm thankful for FOL and the FOL board!

BTW ks, did you get my message?:confused:

THis board may be dead or dying but Thte DIVISION board is as alive as it will ever be!! WHOOO HOOOO!! YAAAA :D :D :D

Here's the thing though... couldn't a lot of this stuff be put on the chit-chat board? I see repeated posts about "Please read!!!" and "Important!!!" but they just relate to personal subjects (most of the time). I'd rather see posts that relate to posts from a year or so ago. The new people should read through the old posts to find opinions and thoughts.

As for the inactivity on the other boards, we should all try to work on that. If you (not KS specifically, but any reader of my thoughts) would go to other posts and put up something, it might increase the interest there as well. I know many people do that already, so I'm not making accusations. However, does *everyone* do it? I dunno....

Like I said, I'm just commenting. I know things have slowed down, but when I come on here I don't always want to read repetitive posts. I wish, as I said, that the conversational stuff could be kept more to email or to the chit-chat board.

Don't :bash: me again, I'm just trying to help all of us sort through 30 thousand + posts.

How's it selfish? :confused:

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, Jayman. Alot of the posts that cause a rucus could be done away with.
I really miss the nightly conversations about eps and the little weird things that people would notice about every particular episode.

I just miss FOL being on TV nightly...:(


Oh yeah, I love your avator. It's so cool-Nat rocks:D

Pleeeease don't get mad at me for saying
this, but IMO this board is kind of dying
down. This part might sound mean and I do
apologize, but each time I come here it's
the same old thing. There hasn't been new
topics lately. I would say that we have
discussed everything we know about FOL.
If anyone can prove me wrong, throw out
some good suggestions/ideas that involve
FOL. JMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if there is anything else to discuss. I mean, we've seen as many shows as we're going to see right now. We've analyzed each season more than a college thesis paper. What else is left?

There's nothing wrong with slowing down on here... I mean, it's not like we have any competition in the race. I think we should all try and help get interest in other boards... whatever shows they might be. That way, interest would grow more and improve the whole board.

As for the suggestion on new topics... I dunno. Does anyone else have anything?

okay, here's my two cents, IMO.

Like ks, I remember when this board was really crazy, like after every ep everyone would be on here and posting topics that yeah, did get repetitive after a time ("who's your favorite?" "what's your favorite ep?" and so on), and that was back when FOL was on N@N. Just as a sidenote, does anyone else always have the urge to like, go back forty pages and read the posts where we griped about FOL only being on once an evening? Those were the days... lol, I miss them!
Anyway, we *should* have topics on here even now without FOL being on. I mean, we've gone through so much on this board 2gether like our views on Nancy and Lisa and Kim and so on, and why should we stop now? Let's get this board crazy again, or maybe not total craziness like we had back in the day, but I really think we should keep this board kicking. I mean, we'll think of a topic, right? Let's go!

I'm in for it!

Okay, I'm done now... lol, I'm a little talkative today.

Me too!! I wonder if FOL will return to TV anytime in the near future.

Yes, I go back and read the old posts too! There were like 7 or 8 of us who would comment on every episode every night and the slightest details would be notice. Then we all would agonize over those little details and wonder what they meant in the entire FOL scheme of things. Those were the days- I miss them so much.
I loved it when the boards were crazy and there were over 100 posts a day! It was so much fun and we all got to know each other so well. I enjoyed the FOL mania. I hope FOL gets picked up again soon so we can all scrutinize over every little thing once again an analyze every little thing.
Until then, let's keep the boards alive as best we can.

Also, like Jayman said, if there are any other shows we watch we should go and post on those boards as well because we need to keep ALL the boards alive, not just FOL.

80sKid -- So, what are the posts supposed to be about?? What else is left to discuss. Even books end.... I don't necessarily want the board to shut down, but people should look a little more into the old posts and work on those than reposting "Favorite season of Blair's Hair."

"FAVORITE SEASON OF BLAIR'S HAIR"???? THAT'S MY FAVORITE TOPIC!!!!!:lol: :happyface

HMM.. Well, I haven't noticed repetitiveness in the posts. I don't think that we'll ever have absolutely nothing to talk about. I mean, we're talking about the greatest show ever that was on for 9 years. How can you stop bringing up important facts on "Facts"??:lol: (that was good)

Ooh! I have a thing that I THINK is new. I'll go post it.

I agree with ks and 80skid....I used to look forward to watching FOL nitely on N@N and then running to my computer and posting and disecting the eps and chatting with the other Lifers. Actually,,,it may sound a bit silly but I miss FOL even though I have many of the eppies on tape,,,it just is not the same.

There really are no other sitcoms that are 'must watch' for me right now. I enjoy Golden Girls occasionally but don't really feel the need to post about it. I enjoy other classic shows like Mary Tyler Moore, Maude, and Rockford Files but not to the point where I would spend alot of time posting about them on a internet messageboard.

Fortunately,,I do enjoy The Division and will usually post on that board after each new eppie.

Proof that some habits are hard to kick,,,I still do occasionally come to this board but don't really post much cuz like everybody else I don't have much to comment on right now as far as FOL is concerned. I do enjoy reading about everyone meeting Lisa and like to keep updated on what the FOL girlz are doing now.

Alot of the new posts are repeats of what we posted last year...but when you consider the fact that fol is not even running on any tv stations these dayz it is pretty amazing that this board still gets so many daily posts.

Although I didn't register until April, I was here for a while before that, reading posts and whatnot, so I kind of know what you are all talking about. I miss seeing my FOL every night. There's something new and exciting about it, even though every single episode is a now rerun. LOL It's not the same, watching tapes, knowing that you can stop it anytime to go to the bathroom or get food instead of having to wait until the commercial. :D LOL Anyways, I miss my FOL, but I think this board is a great way to keep a great show alive even when it's not airing.
