Welcome Back Janice: The Janice Appreciation Thread - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mr. Television · 11-10-2007, 09:32 PM

Janice has given me permission to make this thread. Members have had Appreciation threads for years, and if anyone deserves one now, it's Janice. I don't want this thread to be about why she left. That shouldn't be discussed on the boards. Instead this thread should be about Janice...the person...who made SO a pleasure to come too all these years.

She is a good friend and one of the nicest people I ever met. Anyone who had any problems could go to her with issues and she would try to help them out. Until I started talking with Janice regularly I never realized how much time and devotion she gave to SO. I frankly couldn't do it. SO won't be the same without her.

This place has not been the same since Janice has left. I know she has not been feeling well, but overall, she was much appreciated around here and she had to deal with people blasting her on the board, calling her names, she had to deal with petty arguments, deal with trolls, etc. I miss her around these parts and I made sure she knew how much she was appreciated for the times she helped out with certain issues on the board. Believe me, I wouldn't want to have dealt with the stuff Janice had to put up with on this board. I never realized how much of herself she put into this board until she and I began to PM each other. Sometimes you give so much of yourself and you feel like you are not appreciated.

MISS YOU JANICE

...TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!

As you know, Janice is my best online friend. A part of SO died when she left. She was the heart and soul of Chit Chat. She is the only person who should be qualified to make birthday threads.

bloop hehe

She also did a great job with the weekend chat threads. Even though I mostly lurk here I was able to tell she put a lot of time into SO and she will be missed here. She must have great respect around here because from reading other threads several of you know why she is not here now but regard her privacy enough not to post it online.

Agreed.

Let's not forget who was the one to help us with names for the Secret Santa exchange when we decided to start it up in 2004 -- Janice. We entrusted her with things we wouldn't give out to other members. I dunno about you guys, but it's a big thing to do that, and she was (and is) a trustworthy person.

I mean, sure, I've had my share of problems with her over the years. But we always resolved 'em and moved on. I remember a few years ago when she was having a problem with a member that I had also had problems with in the past, she would vent to me about it and I'd offer her insight (and stories). I know she definitely felt better knowing she wasn't alone.

I hope she decides to come back soon - I go by the line of thought "If you leave or back down, you are just letting the other party win." I know she's not that kind of person who gives up.

Not only birthday threads and Weekend Chat threads, but she also helped organize secret santa's during the holidays, organized CC, made joke threads, moderated politics, she really cared about everything she did for sitcoms online.

Skywalker · 11-10-2007, 10:53 PM

Janice was without a doubt the best moderator this board has ever had. I don't know her all that well like most of you do unfortunately, but people have always said that she was one of the nicest people around and from the few times I had talked to her, I could see that.

She always took the time to start birthday threads and she was someone you could talk to if you had a problem. She will be missed and SO will never be the same without her.

Ireneparalegal · 11-10-2007, 10:54 PM

She also helped out when I felt there was something fishy going on around these boards. She would check things out for me and clarify whether my intuition was right abt certain posters who were here to only cause trouble.

She shared so much of her personal life with me and we shared so much in common. She made me laugh and she made me cry several times. We had our fights, our debates, our disagreements, but all in all, we were adult enough to put those things aside and not let things get in the way of friendship.

MsOrange · 11-10-2007, 10:54 PM

I've been gone for quite a while, and only back part of the time due to some personal stuff... but could someone PM me and tell me what happened to Janice (so as not to stir up anything...)

Anyway, Janice is an awesome person... I'll always remember us going from hating each other, to being great online buddies. That's just the kind of person she was; her personality could easily take someone from hating her to loving her. She is one classy lady.

catlover79 · 11-10-2007, 11:12 PM

I only have one thing to say to Janice - the glue of SO:

HuntingtonM15 · 11-10-2007, 11:18 PM

I agree with everyone else. SO is just not SO without Janice. I hope she's doing well and will return someday.

EmoJoe · 11-10-2007, 11:26 PM

i cant believe Janice has left

i know we've had our disagreements in the past but Janice was/is truly an awesome mod and she's an even better person. i've been mostly lurking here lately so i dont really know what happened, but i've already noticed a change. this board will be really different without her. :/ hopefully she decides to come back sometime.

You were the last good thing about this part of town.
