That's what generally happens in message boards. It can be a busy message board, but people are either bored with it or no longer have interest in what the message board delivers. Like, if I went a message board that talked about CSI: Miami and I no longer watched it, then why would I feel the urgent need to discuss about a show that I no longer watch?

Yes i have, long long long before that.

I think it was early 02. Austin Peck was leaving days and a link from another MB led me to SON. I think i didnt post much if ever, i think actually at that point i didnt even reg. idk, i cant think back that far.

but i know i was posting on the MB for some time by the time JER first came back to day in the summer of 03 i think.

It's a cycle that many boards go through. Unfortunately there are a lot of issues that go into why things are the way they are. I know I don't spend as much time here as I used to. I've found a couple of "save havens" to post where I'm not attacked for my opinion or always having to referee a fight.

The "old" days of SON haven't been around since probably the summer of 05. There is no going back. For those of us who were a part of the "golden time" it was fun. It's sad to see how things of changed, but that's the climate of soap boards. Old members leave, new members come who don't either 1) grasp the concept of intelligent posting or 2) feel the need to beat everyone about the head with their opinions. It's not everyone, but the few bad apples who do it. There are some who ignore it, some who tolerate it and some who defend the integrity of the board. Unfortunately it usually progresses to the point where someone needs to step in.

I don't always practice what I preach. I lose my temper, I don't always handle things the way they should be handled, but I'm human. And given the amount of bullshit we have to deal with here at SON, I think we're ALL allowed to lose it every now and again.

    • Swift said:  "But, isn't funny that they're all back in Florida, but nobody mentions this is where Reva went nuts and drove off a bridge.  It seems like it might trigger some memories." Hilarious!!   'Tis a shame it didn't retrigger the same behavior as well.  In a gray Volvo.

    • 1976 Pt 6 Barbara, having promised Brad not to tell Leslie the truth, tells Laurie about Brad’s condition, explaining that somebody has to know what’s happening to him. Laurie tells Brad she knows and pleads with him to tell Leslie. Laurie’s publisher wants her to tour for her new book, but she’s adamant that it be published under an alias so no one will associate her with it. Lance and Laurie’s relationship is deepening despite their frequent verbal jabs at each other, and he’s decided to relocate in Genoa City. He calls his mother, Vanessa, reporting he’s rented an estate on Lake Geneva so she can get outside. Vanessa, a veiled recluse, was disfigured in a fire years ago when she saved Lance from a burning building. The fire marshal had determined that a child had been playing with matches in the room he shared with his younger brother, Lucas. When Vanessa reminds Lance of what he owes her, he gently tells her that Lucas was driven  away by guilt, and if he ever returns she will have to face the reality that Lucas started the fire. Vanessa protests that this was never proven. Vanessa moves into Lance’s new home, where a suite of rooms has  been prepared for her, and adds her own finishing  touch: a one-way window into the living room, concealed behind a painting. With bills continuing to pile up, Jill is growing desperate about finding a job. As no hair-stylist positions are open, she accepts a manicurist spot in a hotel barbershop. Snapper learns where his sister is working and drops by just as a young, good-looking man is offering Jill two hundred dollars to go out with him. Snapper nearly beats him up and drags Jill out of the shop. She’s upset over losing the job until Derek Thurston, a customer at the Allegro, overhears her plight  and hires her as an assistant at his hairdressing shop. As the day of the police lineup approaches, Pegey is thinking of backing out, but Chris firmly tells her her by doing that she may be paving the way for another woman’s being raped. Peggy arrives at the station with her father and Chris, and just before the lineup is scheduled to begin, Ron walks up to her and introduces himself, expressing his sorrow at what's happened to her. Peggy shows no emotion. At the lineup Peggy looks at all the men in the line and asks that they whisper “Don’t scream. I won't hurt you ‘ Peggy identifies Ron and then rushes at him and starts pummeling him with her fists. He’s placed under arrest. Stuart is concerned with Peggy’s identification, wondering if Chris’s obsession had. anything to do with it. Jen is surprised that Peggy was able to identify Ron, as she had told them it was dark and she kept her eyes closed. But when they question’ her, Peg insists she saw and heard Ron and she will never be able to forget what he did. Ron’s bail has been set at one hundred thousand dollars, requiring that ten thousand dollars be posted in cash. Nancy has nine thousand dollars in bonds “that her mother left her—Chris’s search for her family uncovered this—and the judge agrees to reduce bail to that much. Chris flies out to see Mrs. Sharon Ralston, the woman involved in the rape/burglary charges before Nancy and Ron were married. Mrs. Ralston refuses to say anything to Chris, explaining that she’s married now and has two children. 
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Pat story sounds like a lot of trash. Not sure why there was a rut of middle-aged female patients scheming to get men on soaps at this time. I guess at least Pat didn't have Diana raped, like on The Doctors.  Did Leslie stay in that penthouse?  I sometimes forget what a cheesy introduction Monica had to the show. Mr and Mrs Intern indeed.
