The "Mess" of the Primetime Forum

This is just to acknowledge the "mess" that has become of the Primetime Forums here at Soap Opera Network.

While analyzing the PrimetimeOxides forum, it became clear that some shows are more favored than others by readers, as is the case in the Discuss the Soaps Forum. Threads that have the potential of being popular, never reach that status as they are pushed to page two, three, four, five, etc within moments or hours, depending on the time of day. Additionally, reality shows such as Big Brother or American Idol, while very popular, have dominated these forums and for some reason, Moderators have gone so far as to pin these threads to the top of the board. Those decisions will cease.

To fix the "mess," we have been moving old threads and sometimes, new ones to a point that they are in a "can not be found" status. I take the full blame for this. The posts are not deleted, nor will they never be seen again.

We are working on fixing this situation, but it can not be done overnight. We have made some mistakes in the past (particulary, in the summer), but we are making progress. We hope the progress that we are making, and the end result are satisfactory with our primetime readers.

Now, that is what I call damage control!!! Thanks for the response and letting us know that this situation will be solved soon.

Now if we could get an official statement about the language filter. I may be over it now (or have realized it would take too much energy to 'fight the good fight' ) but it would still be nice to know the reasoning behind this decision.

Edit: Oh, all right, you provided an official statement on the language thing, too. Thanks.

    • While we're talking about Henry's funeral... I just got to the reading of Henry's will spanning April 11-12, 1996. What did fans this about this? Not as impactful/emotional, of course, but I was quite surprised that he left the rest of his estate to Hart - wtf??  His messages and gifts to Nola, Bridget and Matt (sorry, @P.J.

      ) were very sweet. I liked what he did with Dinah, giving her his wife's brooch but nothing else beyond her trust that she already got, which he wants her to use for the betterment of herself and others. Watching J get so excited about what he might get out of it, and his subsequent whining when he realizes it all goes to his higher education, was highly annoying. I haven't minded J since he came back until this moment. Contrast that with Bill, sitting next to Vanessa, who was very mature about the whole thing.  
    • While I have no direct intel when it comes to an ABC revival, I'd think it would be the next option should ABC (finally) decide to cancel GMA3 due to piss poor ratings. Of course, that decision won't come until the latest reboot is attempted, either with more profile hosts or another retooling of sorts.
    • The last few episodes have reminded me of watching old soaps.  I was hesitant to get behind the hype but damn! 
    •   Yeah I think the voice in the nightmare said color of your money

        Anasatia the town gossip? She related to Shanice? LOL
    • I had to rewind and listen over and over, but it was something about "the color of your money". Anyone else pick up on it? Oh I guess I could try my closed captions later. Derek's legs spread open with those bare thick thighs... goodness!

    • Ugh, that's just a shame to hear about Bridget/Lucy and David. Not even going to their wedding is awful. I'm not there yet in my watch, but I'll be disappointed with that. And if Nick/Susan are now already gone too, which I'm assuming they are because they're no longer in the end credits, then who even is at this wedding besides family? I hate to hear that about 1997. Btw, I'm happy to hear we're pretty close in our viewing timeline

        That comment Amanda makes is weird, but maybe if she's just talking about herself, I'd understand. But otherwise, makes no sense considering the Buzz/Alan rivalry over Reva, Lucy/A-M being a couple and the interaction A-M has with the Coopers throughout and vice versa, Frank/A-M's past.  I can't speak to Harley because I haven't seen her yet, but surely in her years in SF, she had a past with some Spaulding family member haha. That's a shame about Alan not having a reaction to Abby. I was wondering for months now if Abby would ever get back into Reva and Alan's orbit now that everyone is back in SF and away from Goshen, and wouldn't you know it, just last week in March/April 1996, Abby visited both Reva and Alan separately (Alan just gave Abby a job at Spaulding Enterprises). It was so nice to see they both still really cared about Abby, but said to hear that wanes going forward.  Alan just sucks - the most selfish/hateful/arrogant character - so I guess I can't be surprised. He barely tolerates Alex these days, and I guess he's back in A-M's good graces post-Marian. Otherwise, no one else in town likes him now that Reva dumped him. Great observation on the Marcus stuff, and having just seen it, you're right!  The storyline really wasn't about him once he was put in jail, it was really about introducing Griffin (whom I do not like at all), Roger who framed Marcus and accelerating his storyline with Dinah, and putting the pieces together with Marian being the real killer. Marcus is rarely seen while in jail, as your character count proves. I didn't even think about the age different between Marcus and Dahlia, but you're right - yikes. I was actually already getting worried about Rick/Abby's age differences, because Abby's mother told a doctor she was 22 years old, but then Rick said 18 a week later and she hangs out with Michelle and the other high school-aged people, so which is it? But I'd assume Rick is what, in his mid/late-30s? So that pairing I was already starting to question with age difference.  I'll miss Bryan, as he's grown on me while he ages over the last year.  Ahh good to know - RME   Oh this is great, thanks for sharing!!!  Glad to see she's still with us and out there doing work she loves.
