Farewell WB Boards
On Thursday morning, at approximately 7:57 AM, the WB Boards died. They will be dearly missed. A moment of silence please.
I'm just kidding, with the whole obituary thing lol. On Thursday though, the WB boards closed down for good. It was kind of sudden because a lot of people thought they would stay open until at least September. The CW boards opened on Tuesday I think. Then on Wednesday, the mods announced the boards would be closing in a few hours. The mood was kind of somber over there. To tell you the truth, even I was feeling slightly sentimental. You're probably saying to yourself, she is MENTAL. The mood kind of reminded me of when you are in elementary school or middle school and you know you are graduating. You have been in the school for awhile, and it just feels kind of sad to be moving on to a new school. That's what it felt like with the boards. I had been a member there for over 2 and a half years and I was so used to the layout of the boards. Now I have to get used to the new CW boards. It's just like when you have to get used to a new school.
I have a lot of memories from that place especially from my days on the OTH board. Wow I had some memorable confrontations on there. Seeing it was the end of the boards, the mods kind of let everything slide. The mods even started a True Confessions thread. Everyone was just telling it like it is on that thread. People were even confessing who they never liked on the boards. I confessed that I was always proud that I got banned, because I know I did the right thing. I also confessed some contempt I have for a certain person who I never got along with. I stayed up really late that night on the boards, because the mods said they would shut down at midnight Pacific time. So I was on at 3 trying to get as many posts as I could get in. I was also bumping some of my old favorite threads. I really wanted all my unappreciation threads to be the last threads on the OTH boards. I really grew to hate the show and I wanted the threads to be representative of how the show went downhill.
Anyway, it was like 5 AM and I was falling asleep at the keyboard but the boards still hadn't closed. I kept bumping the threads, and board hopping. I wanted to be the last person to post in The Supernatural Board. I am really immature I know. *blushes* I knew I had to go to sleep though. When I finally reached 5300 posts, I decided to call it quits. The boards didn't end up closing until almost 3 hours later, and by then I was in dreamland. I ended up being the last poster to post in the Reba board. LMAO! How did that happen? I guess because I was just going on every board and saying good-bye. I didn't get to be the last poster at the Supernatural boards, nor did my threads end up being the last threads at the OTH board. However, they are still on the front page. The only thing that stunk was I wished Kurstyn could have been on that night. I know we would have had a blast and I know she would have been laughing so hard if she heard what our arch nemesis did. I'll have to tell her about the shenanigans if she ever gets online one of these days.
I am feeling kind of bummed still, since I go back to school in like ten days. I just about finished my school shopping. The weather isn't being too cooperative either. I would like to have some warm weather so I can at least get in some swimming. I know when school starts, we will end up having a heat wave or something. I hate going back to school when it is 90. I know once I go back to school I won't be able to make many vids too. I am trying to get this one finished soon because it will probably be my last one for awhile. *Sigh*
ETA: I should have also said, and I am kicking myself now because I thought I did say it. However I didn't. I wanted to say that the reason the WB boards will always be a special place is because I met some great friends there like Alex, Lyn, and Kurstyn. I didn't forget about you guys. I still talk to you all the time too lol, so hopefully it shows that I didn't forget about you.
