I pretty much stopped posting on IMDb for several years now, besides an occasional lurk. I found out that the boards were closing by accident while lurking last week. Glad I saw that so I can say farewell and use it for old times' sake.
I made a lot of memories on IMDb, I joined when I was 12 and I'm almost 24! This board was great in its heyday, and I miss a lot of people who no longer post here. Hoping some will come by before it closes!
Wow, I just realized now that they are disabling boards. It's unfortunate that negativity is the reason for the decision. I will definitely miss this board and YESSS, I remember how active it used to be! I always enjoyed coming on here and interacting with everyone. Sure, we had a few trolls, BUT we knew how to handle them 😉.
Perhaps we should start a new board or something?
Until then, it's been great!
I came to say the same thing :) I LOVED it here back in the day. I loved everyone here. I think about Rikki and Tori and wonder how they're doing.
I'll leave an update. My little boys are now 12 and 13. The 12 year old has a form of autism which makes social interactions difficult, but he is awesome. Not many friends (hangs with his brother's crowd) but he is in the B stream at school and is very clever. He is artistic and funny in the weirdest and greatest way.
My 13 year old is very intelligent (still) and is a coder. He helped at his school's robotics fair and created a "robot army" and a help desk so he didn't have to deal with rude people. He is sensitive and sarcastic and funny in a cutting, dry way. When he was 9 he defended his brother in a bully attack, and lost hearing in his ear. It had to be cut off and had an eardrum replacement, but he's still deaf on one side. He'd do the same thing again. He's heroic. They sewed the ear back on nice and level.
I often tell my boys about my time here to educate them about the dangers of cyberbullying 😁 Shout out to Christelle.
Personally... ehhhh... I'm reading War And Peace.
still f^cking KOOKY
