Board Trends - what have you seen? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dlemond · 02-04-2003, 05:27 PM

Since I first signed on I've noticed them and obviously you all have too. So what are some of your favorite and least favorite trends and talk on the boards?

Here's what I have seen since I came on:

1. Chico and the Man - it seemed like there was a thousand posts a day about this show. That has stopped.

2. Golden Girls - Young girls seem to like this the best. On and on it went for a while there. Still active.

3. Facts of Life - All girls and some young boys all over this show, nonstop talk. Still one of the most active boards maybe because of....

4. Nancy McKeon - absoulte bizarre fascination with this actress, role model(?) and champion of Lifetime (a channel I've yet to locate on my cable box).

5. Happy Days (mafia) - Happy Days fans are miffed at Facts of Life success and start to take over as number 1 posted board.

6. BeBe Neuwirth devotees - this has gone, but was relentless for a few months.

7. Fights on Chit Chat - that has calmed down, but it was ugly for a while. Age shows more than ever on the boards.

8. Rainman - Apparently Nate likes K-Mart, PBS, and boys. We got it Nate. Down boy.

Nate and KMart. Hes always a subject of ours LOl.

I notice a lot of Avril Lavigne fans and haters. People here either like her or not. (Not Kristina).

Althought the Chico and the man devotees are still around (some of them) they haven't been posting as much so you're right.

What I noticed is What happened to the Fact of Life devoted fans? They're like Gone......... They were always posting...

All the little gangs and cliques(Mafias) that have sprouted up, but seem to be dying down.

Happy Days is the hottest board on SO. Even surpassing Facts of Life.

Gone with the Wind also seems to be very popular here on the boards.

There was a mad obsession with Kelly Osbourne for a while that now seems to have died down.
The 'smilies in jars' craze was also rather short-lived.

Ditto! For a long time there was only 3 people posting there, now there's, what, 12 different regulars? It's cool.

Happy Days is #1

What about the "Moo" and "Nancy McKeon" craze? Those faded out too after a while...

I think smiley people are just born that way. It's sort of a facial defect that they smile no matter how they feel. Gawd, I can't believe I'm actually analyzing Smilies.
