Can we please stop bringing old posts back to the top? I get SOOOO confused with it, and lately it's getting a little out of hand with the old posts popping back up! i just read a post about bus stop and men for all seasons being on "this run" and it was talking about when facts of life was on nick at nite and somebody bumped it up to say they still had hope... we know you have hope that they'll be on hallmark because we ALL do! i just think that's a little over doing it to bring that WHOLE topic up just to say that, you could have started it in another post or put it in one of hte millions of other posts about hallmark... so PLEASE, keep the bringing back posts to a MINIMUM!!!

Thank You!!!

Ok, I guess I'm the guilty party for that post. -ahem- I only do it to save space on the board to make it less clutered. And I brought that one to see what N@N has done to FOL in the past and was thinking that maybe Hallmark is just doing what N@N did. I like bringing back old topics to redisscuss them for people who might have not had a chance to reply to them.

LOL, I agree, for me sometimes it is confusing to what posts are yesterdays news, or new posts. I mean, when I read them for the first time, I one saw a post about upcoming episode of Facts of Life coming on Nick-at-Nite and surprisingly I react to them and I think FOL is coming back to Nick-at-Nite?! So yes, please do not post an old topic only if is necessary.

Kay Scarpetta · 07-17-2002, 09:12 PM

I agree 100%! Thanks for bringing this up, Sarah Lynn!

jayman75 · 07-17-2002, 09:56 PM

Well, I respectfully disagree. I think the old posts being "resurrected" is funny. Granted, I don't try to find posts that say "FOL returns to N@N" or something like that, but why should we have 40 posts floating around about hair styles or "who is your favorite character." The more posts there are, the harder it is to find what you are looking for.

I don't pull up old posts too often. When I do, it's usually from a year prior, and is something humorous or just a "I never thought about that" type thing. I've never heard any complaints about the old posts until now.

I would like to know what defines an "old" post also. If there is something about an episode from over a year ago, that has no relation to N@N, USA, or whatever, why not bring it back.

This board is the most populated and visited board of any on this site. It's darn near impossible to go through everything on here. So, if it is possible to consolidate a bit and bring some old ideas or laughter back, why not?

Can we please stop w/ all the whining?

ABlairican Pie · 07-17-2002, 10:31 PM

I think old posts should be brought back only when they're applicable to whatever's going on now with the show or the actors. Otherwise it gets confusing.

ThomasE · 07-17-2002, 10:56 PM

I agree with Tad Warner and Jayman26. I like the old topics. On the occasion it can be confusing if the posts don't conincide with the current topics though.

TALLguyinKY · 07-17-2002, 11:28 PM

I'm gonna bring up old topics.

I joined this community in February or so, and I like to dig through the archives. And instead of makin' MORE new threads that have been brought up time and again, I have the respect to post appropriately in threads that were already created for what I wanted to say, or cover something that interests me.

But I do not purposefully bring up old things have to do with N@N or whatever---I try to only do appropriate things.

ks · 07-17-2002, 11:29 PM

I agree with Jayman in the sense that some topics can be interesting and humorous. Others, on the other hand, are incredibly confusing.

I was just wondering why there seemed to be quite a few old topics brought back. I don't care, it doesn't bother me. I kinda like reading some of the "old" posts. I was just wondering if they were being brought back because people were running out of things to say or something.

It's always good to go back and scour through the archives for a good discussion. You should see some of the wicked topics we discussed back when FOL was in it's first run on Nick. Ahhh...the good ole' days...
