The lurkers support you in email!molly_mayNovember 4 2011, 22:11:55 UTC
I almost never post on Snarkfest, but I visit it daily (by which I mean, several times a day!) to find out if Lindsey Lohan is in jail, or if Justin Bieber is a baby daddy, or what people thought of last night's Community - you know, the important stuff. So I'm commenting strictly from the point-of-view of a lurker, but I was SO GRATEFUL that you set up the new board. I had been having trouble getting onto the old board for weeks, until it finally disappeared completely for at least another week, but the new board has worked like a dream so far, and from what I can see, it looks like it's busier than the old one had been recently, most likely because people aren't having so much trouble accessing it.
I'm sorry if it's causing drama, or if anyone's feelings got hurt, but speaking as someone who is completely outside of the loop of who's in charge, I felt like the community was vanishing because of the difficulty in accessing the board, and something needed to be done to make sure everyone didn't disperse to other sites. So, THANK YOU

Thanks, and I wished you posted more, because your thoughtful interesting and funny, but I still read your LJ because I miss you! Man I really wish you had made it to that WriterCon in the Twin Cities!
Even before the total outage, I felt like I was watching the board die as people drifted away due to the slowness. I am nothing but grateful that you gave us all a space to get together and be ridiculous again.
Yeah, the drifting away to nothing was why I did something. It was my only concern. Oh and talking The Vampire Diaries, I just can't even *deal* with the TWoP boards any a discussion level.
Mad that I didn't consult them first, but for realsies, I had NO idea the person who was affronted was "the head" of the board, I honestly thought whoever was in charge, and the one Mod who was responsive seemed as in the dark as the rest of us.
I legit thought whoever was BTS had taken a step back/were too busy with real life stuff of actual import and wouldn't really *care*, and if that wasn't the case they'd just step up and take over.
Well apparently it is vwlphp. I knew she was invovled, but not that she was the definitive IT. I personally always thought of Cleolinda as the leader of the board, but I thought she had taken a sort of extended break from it. Whatevs, things will work out!
I've been out of the country for over a month, so I'm finally catching up to the :horror: loss of SF. Screw the haters, Blixie, and thanks for jumping into the breach so quickly. I'll be signing up shortly.
In other news, the fact that I don't have cable and can't watch Homeland along with you guys is KILLING ME.

Why? Because proper "mod" people didn't do it first?
That's silly. Something decisive needed to be done, and you did it, and the gang is (getting) back together. All good in my book.
