  1. Datalounge was a blast back in the day. Even at its best it was toxic (and racist and misogynistic and reeking with internalized homophobia), but it was a side-splittingly funny, smart, and knowledgeable group of people. I still chuckle at things I remember from the DL. “Caneface.” “Dialing a phone with a pencil.” Melissa Gilbert and her “s*** bra.” Judy “Pills” Garland. David Ehrenstein. Gregorzick and the “Cincy Soap Hood.” Random gossip that I later learned firsthand to be true (like who was family in daytime). So much knowledge about soaps (and just assorted pop-culture detritus like TV movies in 1983) going back decades. But yeah, the nastiness of the politics, financial issues, and the moderators’ reactions to the trolls (like paywalls and “Primetime”) killed it, like they did so many other places on the Web.

    Lol. I knew someone would bring this up. 

    Those threads were iconic. And I remember someone there posted a photo from SOD, I think, with Jacob Young at an event around the time he was on GH. In the pic, he had facial hair and was posing with his arm around some cute blonde girl, and the caption read, “Doesn’t he look sexy with a beard?”

    I'm glad Sally will be mixing it up with Lauren at Fenmore, I just hope she isn't thrown into some triangle right away. I could so see the show throw her someone like Kyle or Chance LMAO. 

    Chance, oof. (Kyle’s already got two women fighting for him, so I doubt him, but who knows?) It would be such a waste of CH’s talents to put her up against MO’s Abby, but Abby’s budding relationship’s ripe for complications.
