I just read Jon's post there about leaving and wanted to write my two cents about it. The board is so f*cked up it won't let me post, so I decided it was about time I come here. It was so sad reading about Jon wanting to leave and reading all the old schooler's thoughts on it.
I get the impression this is gonna be the only place where we can keep the atmosphere that used to be on the boards at the time all the Big Dawgs were there, and happy as I am to be getting that back, leaving the VCMB aside is really sad. I know, I know there's nothing too interesting there to read about, and that the board has lost all its magic. I realised too. But it's sad to know the place that felt like home for ages to me is just not what it was. After reading Let's, Joe's and everyone else's replies I felt all nostalgic.
I mean, ATR! Woah! Those were the days!! To me, personally, the board was (and still is) a window to the NESSAholic world I couldn't get hold of cos I lived so far away from everyone. It was the way to know about the concerts everyone had been to and how they'd all met Vanessa... now all that seems to have died out cos everyone that was there back then has left. I don't wanna give the impression I am sad about being here, it'll take time to get used to this place but after all, the holics are here so it should be like home too huh? I am just sad everyone has given in and decided it's not worth giving the board another chance. The pre-BnN feeling could come back, since there's another record coming in some time, so there's no way we should give up on that. As long as we stay fans...
