As Angie (Dragonflies) said. "I think we need a separate thread for this" biggrin.png

I've been here years before I got banned on there. But, it's really good to see some posters from there around here again.

That place was insane. Not even being able to speak your mind. SON is so much better. Toups and Errol and the rest of the mods make this a great place.

So, hola to all the ex-communicated (Smirks' word for it. Not mine) smile.png

What was your all's usernames over there and why were you banned if you don't mind telling?

I was we.are.clouds (which, I used here until about a year ago too) I got banned for telling a leaving member my Twitter address. Somehow that was making trouble. LOL.

Ha...I use to post on SOC as well up until ATWT cancellation. Then it became a ghost town and I stopped posting there. I dont even remember my username there anymore.

I first joined SOC when it was a cascading board. It was so much fun. There were a lot of great GL posters at the time and those same posters posted at the GL board which no longer exists I think. I miss those posters.

I'm still over there. Been banned twice and there's still much craziness. Same name as this one. I ain't got nothin to hide.

Funny story: I totally happened upon a clique of the crazies trashing me in one of their profile spaces by accident. Greatest laugh EVER.

I joined back in 2007 and it was the first soap board I ever posted at. There was off topic posting still at the time. And, we used to have some fun late night chat sessions.

And, hi Katie. I remember you over there. :) Also. That is pretty funny. Though, I probably would have went off at them. My temper is horrible.

I think RoseVioletDaisy(posted mainly on the GL threads) was also a poster on SOC and also posted on the GL board website. He posts on here on occasion. He has some really intelligent posts.

Yeah. I remember him and I see him around here sometimes. Nice guy. smile.png

Think I posted on every board over there. Except the DAYS/Passions/International soaps ones. But, I mainly stayed on the GH/AMC/OLTL boards.

I remember not too long ago. Probably about 1 1/2-2 years that someone who was a popular poster on the GL board passed away. I cannot remember who it was though.

I started lurking/posting there in I think 2009. Somewhere around there. My name was... AlexElizabeth. Shocking. I lurked for months and then finally joined and started posting because I wanted to talk about Luke and Reid on ATWT. I eventually migrated over to the OLTL board too. I don't think I ever posted outside of those two.

I just stopped posting there once OLTL went off the air. Since I only posted on the ATWT and OLTL boards and both shows were gone there wasn't much point in sticking around, plus half the people there were so dumb and aggravating.

Some of the rules and mods there... lawd. I remember one time a mod edited my post because I called John McBain "McBatman." Like really? Whatever. And I got an infraction once for "disrupting the conversation" or some nonsense. I don't even know. But I'm glad I don't post there anymore because it sucks.

I think that the Y&R mods are the worst IMO. You better love Michelle Stafford/Phyllis/Phick or Shadam (as that's a pairing that'll keep Nick from Sharon according to hardcore Phick fans), and you better not dare love VR/Drucilla. And don't even think about sticking up for her. You're excommunicated instantly. You'll try and log on and realized you're banned for two weeks or more.

Only boards that I didn't have much trouble on were the P&G soaps, OLTL, and DAYS.

AMC, B&B, & GH boards were horrid over there too if you didn't love the populous' main couples (i.e. Zendell/Rylee for AMC, Tridge for B&B, and CarSon/JaSam for GH. If you loved Liaison & Sam/GV's Lucky or despised Saint Lulu, you were targeted instantly.

I'm shocked to hear SOC still exists. I left there 4-5 years ago. For a while they had "social groups" and I kept posting in a couple of those as a way to keep talking with the posters I'd grown to like. Once those vanished, I never looked back.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.

      Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

      I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.

      And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol

      But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.

      Y&R: April 2025 Episode Rankings

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?

      Y&R: Old Articles

      By Broderick · Posted

      Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.
