So they shut the Angel boards down at the WB site.

No problem, right? They can do that. True it was the largest forum on their board, responsible for millions of hits to their site. Shutting it down does seem kind of dumb.

Apparently UPN kept the Buffy boards going at their site after Buffy left.

Nevertheless it was the WB's board to do with what they wanted, and why would it surprise anyone that stupid people do stupid things.

Here's the thing though. The members of the WB Angel-board didn't like getting kicked off the WB site. Their Angel board was sneakily shut down in the middle of the night this weekend, shortly after the administrator promised them it wouldn't be.

The members woke up, went to check the Angel board, and it was gone.

This weekend the evicted members of the Angel board invaded the WB General Board. The WB General board has pretty much become the New Angel board.

These Angel fans are not happy, and they are letting their hard feelings be known.

So...this all got me to thinking. On Monday the suits are going to come stumbling into work, check out the message boards, and see all the poison posts. They're not going to like it. They're going to want the board cleaned. I'm thinking someone should save these messages for posterity.

The messages make a valuable statement as concerns the controversy sparked off when Levin cancelled Angel.

Here then, is the "Best of the WB Message Boards"

There are a lot of shows in re-run out there. That doesn't mean we can allow fans of those shows to take over our General Board area. Of course we allow people to post a thread about Roswell, but not 20 threads. We have Birds of Prey fans, but they can't post 20 threads about it...or Dawson's Creek, or Tarzan, etc. etc.

But these Angel fans will do what they want so Candyce here is some extra coffee cause youll need it

*

Locking and deleting their post is just making them more fused. The madder they get the more new post they will start.

*

This is what happens when you try to move 400 some pages into 2 topics on a 143 page board!

*

Did they actually expect ALL the Angel board posters to just disapear?

*

this is the new Angel board, whoooooo

*

well our board did have the most topics, the most posts and the most members. What did you expect?

*



Is this the General board or the Angel board v2.0!

*

Wow, looks like the angel board! Are you guys taking over this board or something?

*

This is the General Chat Dam it we will post what we want

*
They do it because they think it'll silence us. They don't like the idea of anybody openly finding fault with thier decision to cancel Angel. You gotta remember, these are the same people that are going to run a series called "Commando Nanny", and actually think it'll get better ratings than Angel did.

*

Keep posting in here they may lock our post but they can't stop us from making more.

*

If they can post political, we can post Buffy and Angel...

*
Then we fight it, they can't ban us all, and most of us have 2-3 names on here as back up. If they get sick of us then gives us our own Board back easy as that and less work.

*
Do you really think the wb and its mods give a flying rat's tush about the Angel fans being angry? Ooooooohhhhh, fans of a show we cancelled are mad! They do not care! They cancelled your show; doesn't that show you how high on their list of priorities you are?

*

they can ban us. or they could try to, anyway. As it stands, there's only one show left on the WB that I actually bother to watch now, and I'll be leaving the WB altogether once they realize that they'd made the error of actually keeping one good program (They wouldn't want to break thier tradition, now would they?) Aside from that, tho, what can they really do? Ban a user? I can create a new user name. Ban anyone using a certain email address? People, I've got email addresses I've never even used, and anyone who knows how to turn on a computer likely knows how to get plenty of additional email addresses. Ban a certain IP adress? Big deal. I can go to any library, Internet cafe, copy center, or any of hundreds of other places to get online and post on the WB's own boards that they're idiots. And so can everyone else. The WB hasn't caught on to that yet. They probably never will, considering thier past track record in the "Lack of brains" department, so they'll keep closing these threads, but they'll never silence us.

*

Talk about an amphibian with a suicidal tendencies . I find it difficult to comprehend a network that will start banning customers from its forums just because they all liked & were really impressed with one of it former shows to actually show up and post . Can some one please explain the economics of ****ing off one of the largest & more active group of viewers/customers ?
I have a suggestion. We should start using the Angel Investigation initials where we would normally use the word Angel & see how long before the Frog figures this one out. Then of course the next for it to figure out is what to do since we are not specifically referring to the Angel show any more. We might try this out in a few threads to see what happens.

*

I might suggest that you email Pepsi directly, contact them at webmaster@pepsi.com

& explain how the Frog is treating its viewers from a canceled show. Just might want to ask them if they are aware of the WBs policies for canceled shows fans & ask them if they really want a bunch of ticked off fans by -association- with such a network. We may not have any sway with the Frog but I think Pepsi might. Also could some one please explain to my how these policies will encourage me to watch other shows on the WB let along patronize the companies that sponsor them?

By the way I am sending a copy of this email to webmaster@pepsi.com for their feedback.

*
Thanks ASK....Maybe we'll get more info from the mods later today....At the latest by Monday I hope....otherwise I'm outta here....They can find some other fool to beef up there board #'s around here....I won't help them.....I want the WB to know that they're fan base has left the building. LOL

*

Episodes of Angel and BTVS still come on the WB in my town here, although I don't watch the WB anymore, so we should still be allowed to talk about the show.

*

The WB chose to make us refugees. WE were happy in our own little world. Now we must share. It's like having to move in with an aunt and your cousins resent you.

*

I can't wait for the WB ship to hit a damn iceburg and sink.
Glug glug glug as this nasty dispicable network sinks.

------

you can't wait....

it hit the iceberg years ago

*

You won't be waiting long my friend!

The FALL Lineup is so bad, its almost like Jordan Levin is purposely trying to destroy the WB in one felt SWOOP! Not one of the 3 Hopefuls I wanted made the List, NO ANGEL Movies were announced, No New Dark Shadows and No Robinsons: Lost in Space.
Nothing but dumb comedies and even dumber Reality garbage...... Harry


*

I guess Levin is not at all interested in bringing in big ratings for the WB by placing such boring shows on the fall schedule. I can't wait for the day he is terminated from his position.

*

Yep I will throw a huge party when they fire that dipstick levin the evil. Any other job he would have been fired for giving the company such a bad name and losing customers but not this dumb azz network.

Death to the WB
Death to the Frog
Death to reality

*

Don't worry after Angel is gone this network can go to hell in a basket.

*

Geez? You love the WB? Who are you, Jordan Levin's niece? The Fall schedule is full of so much total crap, the WB could open a manure factory....

Sorry! Leilazoe, We all know that by staying and posting about the terrible fall lineup as often as possible, we are thorn in the side of the WB. They need to pay for totally disregarding what the fans want and their -assinine-, stupid lineup is proof! The Fall Schedule will sink like a tons of bricks. It is absolutely awful. They are facing the worst Fall season ever. Their ratings are going to plummet and the WB will end up in the "Toilet". Hopefully the stockholders will dump Levin in 2005 after this fiasco of a schedule fails.

------

Why should they wait until 2005 to fire him. As soon as the fall season premiers in September 2004 his ship will sink. What a back-stabber.

*

Die little froggie die hear him croak

*

This network is going down the toilet taking some of its more pathetic shows to the sewer where they belong alongside levin the evil.

*

I intend to be a huge thorn in the side of the WB this fall. After the way they have deserted their viewers by canceling Angel and passing over both DS and LIS, I won't rest until everyone jumps overboard and abandons the WB! I intend to watch competitors new Fall shows and pass on the info here, in hopes to drain even more viewers away from this cesspool of a network. Slowing but surely, if we all pitch in- we can still make a difference.............................

Message to WB Stockholders: Want to save your network? Then FIRE your WB EXECUTIVES! Especially that nitwit, Jordan Levin.

*

the frog sucks. and so does drew carry. what the heck is that all about. why don't the suits at the WB just sell the network now and spare the humiliation of doing it in the future. do they really think that by providing crappy shows will help them sell this thing to make money?

*

I believe that angel was a great show and the ending just left me with more questions than answers. I think the WB committed suicide by canceling the show. Their fall line up is ridiculous it's all comedies and reality T.V. They should of kept the show since every good series has ended all we are going to be left with are reality shows and nothing to makes up think or challenges our minds. The WB has me very upset and the on show worth watching of their fall line up is Charmed and knowing the WB they will probably axe that show also.

*

According to the trades, The WB has suffered DOUBLE DIGIT losses this year ("Smallville" is down by almost a third! )

*

I won't go down with this ship there will be no white flag from any Angel fan to this network. You are not our friends otherwise you would have let the show finish properly.

*

-after the cancellation... screw them! I will NOT watch a SINGLE second of the WB, PERIOD! Since May 19th, I even have blocked from showing up in the menu guide from our satellite dish. Actually... I guess I'm lying, I plan on turning their pathetic station on only ONCE more, and that's ONLY for the re-airing of the finale of ANGEL!

The suits would think they are the end-all be all of everything think they won't feel the crunch after this little stunt of stupidity have another thing coming! Obviously they have been cooped up in board rooms to long to actually realize the tremendous loyalty viewers have when it comes to their beloved shows...

BURN IN HELL WB! YOU ARE A WASTE OF AIRWAVES!
AND YOU LOST ALOT OF FAITHFUL VIEWERS OF YOUR STATION!

*

the cancellation of angel made me mad and i hope that they all burn for what they did. i have nothing to watch now but the re-runs

----

burn froggie burn

*

i just read that the wb joined with kmart---if that doent signal the ship going down i dont know what does.i can only hope that levin goes down with the ship

*

alas, as the ship began to sink captain levin began looking for the life boats to his dismay there were none due to his own financial cutbacks......meanwhile in the wolfram and hart hell dimension froggie continues to die daily but has begun to curse levin as he has no necklace to let him forget how he got here

*

Levin needs to be fired for dumping Angel and putting that crapola usa superstar on and what is the muppet replacing Angel with 2 half hour has been comedians. Does he really think Angel fans are going to watch them.

*

Fire Levin do everyone a favour
------
I will throw a huge party when he gets what is coming to him

*
Just wait until their fall line up bombs. Angel fans are going to have a field day.

*

Yes. When the new fall shows air, and they see how bad their ratings are, and they realize the mistake they made...I will laugh. When Jordan Levin loses his job and has to stand in line at the food bank (it would be so ironic if it was the LA food bank) I will laugh.

*spits on the frog*

I speak of you no more!

*

Jordan Levin isn't evil after all. He was under a mind control spell. Lately he has started to break out. He knows that soon they will put him back under, so he is trying to steer the ship into an iceberg before they can do that, so they don't have any power and have to file for bankruptcy.

*

good story, but noooo, Levin is evil. i don't want to give him excuses...pure evil

*

LIVE ON ANGEL FANS! Never surrender!

wow kool thing I might appear on this board and cause some hassle mwahahaha! thnks for sharing Nerd4Hire! 😀
 
You're welcome. I was gonna post a link, but then I remembered it was against the rules.

I was just there though. The anti-WB posts seem to have magically disappeared, but the board is still about 50% Angel, and 50% other stuff.
 
Hm...thinking about going on over and making my voice heard, that is if they don;t delete it the second I post...Thanks for posting this nerd4hire!
