This board is spiraling out of control! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJ · 08-07-2001, 01:16 AM

There have been arguments in the past, but this past week has been absolutely ridiculous! I don't expect everybody to agree on everything, but is it necessary to have all this name calling? I hope this ends soon because I'm considering pulling this whole FOL board offline (and if it goes, so will the Fan Fiction and Division boards). I don't need to deal with this every day, for the most part it has lost its' enjoyment.

I'm not going to hesitate banning anyone who continues to cause trouble!

Ralph_Malph · 08-07-2001, 01:37 AM

YeAH. i AGREE.

TJ, if you do PULL the plug on this board, I'm behind you all the way.

BlairW_2 · 08-07-2001, 11:15 AM

I have been trying to tell people you'd pull the board all along if this keeps up...they dont listen...

I know what you mean. When people used to post Nancy topics, there was only one argument called "OVERRATED NANCY". Now that the topics are mostly about Lisa, theres an argument in every one. So, I understand.

It's my fault. I'm the one that posted the topic about "WE'RE GOING FROM NANCY TO LISA". Thats where the REAL arguments were. You can all blame me, if anybody blames anybody.

Well since Britt is a Jineddy (Jinny and Teddy) and Morganne is a Jinanybody (Jin and Anybody) I'm a JinMag, now you can figure that one out on your own.

NO Dont get rid of the boards!!!!Please I like them.Why cant you just get rid of this one and keep the FOLfanfic and the twoTD bards I love those three.Dont get rid of them
I need these boards:````````(

DesigningGurl794 · 08-07-2001, 03:42 PM

TJ, if you have to pull the boards, go ahead. I tried to help the situation, and for all of those who did too, good try. I love FOL; Nancy, Lisa, Kim, Mindy, etc. included. I don't think people realize that it is a show involving all of them. What happens if one leaves? (I guess we'll find out soon) You don't want this board to leave b/c it's like a cast member leaving. Plus, where will we post stuff about how much we want the things the cast had back then? I've said my bit, but please calm down. I will too!

What would help keep this board on track and friendly to all would be to strictly limit discussion to the characters of FOL and not the actors/actresses. We are not mature enough to tolerate or cope with opinions that dissent from our own views and opinions.

Honey Angel · 08-07-2001, 03:50 PM

I really enjoy the boards and would HATE to see them go but this board is crazy...I spend most of my time on the Division Fan Fic b/c I like to read fanfic...which is what this originally was...But I understand I just hope it doesn't have to go that far.

Most of the people that post on these boards are kids and teens. Yeah, there's some GenXers like me, but most are kids who saw FOL for the first time on NAN. It's unrealistic and unreasonable to expect these kids to act like adults. Go ahead and pull the boards if it's too much trouble for you, but you'll be losing alot of visitors, including me.

Ralph_Malph · 08-07-2001, 07:18 PM

It doesn't matter whether or not most posters here are gen-exers. Age is irrelevant. It all comes down to respect. And I know that EVERYONE understands respect, regardless of age.

It's quite common sense. You wouldn't caught dead fighting IN PUBLIC about "Blair is better....no Tootie's better" in real life.
If so, do you know how ridiculous you'd look? So why bring such battles to this board?

Politness isn't only reserved for face-to-face encounters! And AGE is no excuse to act immature. I know lots of kids who are more mature than some adults I know!
