Okay, you brought this up & I'm not gonna let an opportunity pass to give a Minority Rapport on the topic. There are plenty people who came here & had hideous experiences, were bullied & were run off. In all of those anecdotal accounts it's always a handful of posters who are bullies, who are trolls, who are cruel. Some of the people who relate this, it was 10 years ago, some last year. So just as much as many wonderful things accrue to @Errol and @Toups  so does the responsibility for it being a place with that reputation & where such things are allowed to happen. 

Now that's not to say that twitter isn't toxic, boy, I agree with that!

After years of bad experiences on soap boards, I stopped "almost" entirely, but in 2005 I finally joined this board and have been happy to be here.  When some topics get heated, I prefer to not join, but the hosts here have been great to me when I have a problem with my computer.  I enjoy every minute!

I posted on SOC and the GL Buzz boards. I miss the GL buzz board. It had a lot of great posters that I miss.

I joined SON for the weekly soap ratings.

I remember so many members who have gone and come back and those who never returned. I keep in touch with some that use to post on here.

There is a lot of hot guys on this board as well.

The old picture thread was proof of it!

I didn't care for SOC. I think the mods are too heavy-handed. And, they only want current story content. As a result of that the classic soap topics are just dead. 

The GL Buzz Board & Media Domain, the two boards known far & wide, infamous for what? Fighting! I didn't go to either one so that is not something I can verify. But is it their reps. 

I was active on Usenet, rec.arts.tv.soaps, which we called RATS. I was the Asst. Mgr. on  the Delphi Soap Opera Forum.

Co-sign. I have some great conversations with people on this board and (not to get sappy either) it warms the heart and makes you feel part of a community. I end up learning a lot, too. Been here a long time.

In general, just spam. Thankfully, I caught wind of it in time, or else I'd still be deleting/banning those accounts. Also, thank you @Cat for the notification.

For the most part, the threads got automatically hidden for everyone as soon as I flagged the accounts as spam and then banned the users. So for ya'll, the posts were gone rather quickly. They were still there for me, but they eventually disappeared only after I manually deleted all the posts to ensure they were no longer infesting forums.

    •  I wanna know why Naomi wasn't there, this is her Aunt and Uncle, no  way she'd miss it
    • Vernon actually had a cravat not a turtleneck. I didn't like Nicole's dress with her breastes prominent.
    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
