Memories of Buffy Boards

[captain peroxide]

Ok,this is intended to pull us together,not push us apart further.I feel we all need to remember what we are all doing here,and remember our fondest memories of our time on the boards.A lot has happened in the short time i've been here,and i have met some wonderful,kind,friendly people here.
People like Fredsicle,and Blondie,Wannabe Slayer,Buffy Summers,and more,who went out of their way to help me adjust to life inside a life.
Some of you might find this a bit sickly sweet,but letting your feelings show is a good thing sometimes,so these are my
Buffy Boards Memories.........................


When i first logged in,i was shocked at the pictures and graphics and instantly knew this place was for me.
Some of the humour i saw was lmao funny.
I wished i could write stuff as fluently and intelligently as they
were.But i was scared to be"one of the gang"so to speak.
Slowly but unsurely i got my bearings,and one post,that was
something like"Help,i'm lost,i cant navigate this place very well",turned into two,three,and four post's.
The staff were all A grade,and i could see they were nice.
Then it happened.I had my first Reputation point.I was elated,someone read my post and agreed with me.Then i got a couple of negative ones and was crestfallen.
Didn't they like me?I thought.
I realised eventually,that it wasn't personal,it was their opinion.I took it on the chin,and moved on.
Finally i had a place to share my love of this wonderfull show,the show that i could relate to,empathise with,lose myself in.
These people were the same as me!Or close enough.
We all love this place,and love the show,or we wouldn't be here would we.
I've looked at other forums,and they are not half as good.
Hopefully i'm a lifer,and sorry if i made you all sick.
Whats your memories of Buffy Boards,feelings,best moments.

Hey, I've only been here two days and I agree with you! I don't really have any memories yet, well ok I do 🙂 but that's only because you all were so welcoming and awesome! I wanted to thank everyone (especially buffy) for keeping a forum like this up, I had no idea a place like this exsisted still. I've been pretty much addicted to it so far as you can see by my post count! But I don't want anything to happen to it so early after I joined 🙁

 

[Fredsicle]

Aww thanks Captain *blushes*
Anytime 😀
My fondest memory of the boards, or favorite thing to do, is playing Scooby/Fang Gang Survivor. It's a very intense game, and everyone is so into killing off each other's favorite character.
DayVB, Caitaintdead, Clemens, Nymphetamine, MinwaraYana, InsaneMystic, and everyone else, thanks for the fun. Oh, and Fred's gonna win Survivor 😛

That's what I mean! You guys are so awesome, welcoming and supportive! I don't think I've ever been on a forum where everyone is so great. 🙂

 

[Tasha]

Yeah i love this Forum too, it's so addictive sometimes!
and everyone here has been so nice to me 🙂

 

[Lindsey McDonald]

I have such wonderful memories of this place. When I think back, not only do I smile, I freak out at how long I've actually been here. I never stick around this long, especially when the board's about a series that finished years ago. Either you're all doing something right, or Buffy's putting something in the water. 😉

I remember when I first joined, and was pretty intimidated by the size of the place.
I remember when Lou then started babbling to me about bananas, and feeling very welcomed.
I remember my first big board argument. Well, it wasn't big, of course, but it seemed like it to me.
I remember that we eventually agreed in the end, without hard feelings.
I remember that fateful night when Rocky Horror invaded Sunnydale High. It's pretty amazing to think what that spawned. Sure, some of it added to the badness, but the amount of good stuff that came from that random spontaneity is amazing.
I remember Drogyn being awesome all. the. time.
I remember how amazing it felt to be asked to be a moderator on the one place I love most on the internet, and on Hogmanay too. (It's a Scottish thing...)
I remember the last Buffies. Good Lord, I remember the last Buffies. I still have to make it up to Dru for getting her kicked out so I could steal her date!
I remember the IRC. (sw) indeed.
I remember Drogynmas. And that was only a few weeks ago, right in the middle of the bad.

Who would fail to love this place?

 

[Silum]

Yup, I love this place. Lots of interesting people and the perfect place to come when I'm bored or don't feel like doing work.

 

[VisionGuy]

I have been here ever since I was in high school. I started off as VisionBoy but eventually grew up to VisionGuy. Which I think suits me better. (sw)

Anyway, I remember making my first thread. I have never made a post on a message board before that so I wasn't sure what to expect for a response. But the members were very helpful and welcoming. I never made an intro thread. I hardly ever make those cause I don't know what to say about myself.

I remember making friends with Lyri and PMing her back and forth when I was waiting to be sorted into a dorm. She was pretty much my only friend here so we were both hoping I would get into her house of Merrick. Some PTB must have heard our prayers because it did happen that way. I was very excited. Merrick became a place for me to escape the hassles of regular board life. LOL

I remember a HUGE fight I had here with a member named Hellgods. He got upset because I quoted Spike and said Glory had a lopsided ass. He started lashing out at me and other members and he also started harassing me through PM. I held my own though. Eventually, he got sent packing back to the hell dimension he crawled out of because he was insulting and cursing at other people on the boards for no reason. He also made up a cute little nickname for me that rhymes with VisionPunt.

I remember the day after the whole Hellgods fight, the boards crashed and a whole bunch of member's accounts got deleted. Lyri was among the ones who got deleted and since she was the prefect of Merrick, she started using me as a messenger until she got her account sorted back. One April Fools, Buffy told everyone she deleted all those people on purpose. There was kind of a blowout until she said she was kidding. It was funny though. LOL

I remember winning The Faith Award for Coolest BB Member. Although, it didn't come as a surprise since I am pretty damn cool, I was still honored.

I remember being made moderator. I'm sure Buffy asked me because of my charm and my good looks. Anyway, I was really nervous about working with a staff that have already been mods for a while. I didn't think I would fit in or be of any use. They were very helpful and patient with me though and eventually I became comfortable with my new title. Even if it meant I had to behave a little better. (sw)

I remember being among the people that were deleted and having some pretty frantic instant messaging sessions with Lyri and AB, completely freaking out over the fact that we could no longer log in.

I remember the shoutbox and the many weird conversations between myself, AB, Wes and VG. We Merrickans are the rulers of weird!

I remember VG giving me the title of "Princess of all that is pink and fluffy in the world" (sw)

And more recently I remember BB:BB and going insane from IRC withdrawals.

People with bad, bad memories shouldn't do this.

I remember my first thread (check in). I was 98% sure I'd never reach 100 posts within a year but thought I'd make one anyway. I got told this place was addictive but thought it was something they just said. 😛

I remember thinking that this was the friendliest place I've ever been on. By far. Lots and lots of great people. I do love the Whedon shows but it's the members that's the reason you love a place like this as much as you do.

I remember getting into VH. Had no idea what I was getting myself into but it didn't take long before I showed off my first VH pride banner. Which I still love. And the "fights" with merrickans.

I remember thinking how many people that seemed to miss out on being sorted and being impatient as I am I stole the job from Mr. Pointy since he wasn't online 24/7. Strange man. Did he have a life or something? 😉 And now I'm waiting for someone to steal it from me. Or at least share it.

I remember being up all night talking to this girl I didn't know too well. Have no idea how it happened. I'd stopped using msn at all and all night? That just wasn't me. And it wasn't like we seemed to have that much in common. But even if took it's time the rest is history. Without this place I'd never met Bluebird. :hug:

I remember Hogwarts getting burt down in the shoutbox. That was a crazy night for sure.

I remember getting addicted to adopting people. For you that remember haven't I've been good in staying away? 😉 But it gave me the chance to get to know some wonderful people (one which I didn't like much before adopting. Getting to know people is a good thing. 🙂) so it's not like I look back at it and see it as something bad.

I remember the first time the boards went down for a few days. That could happen back then. And I got very confused. What will I do now? Good thing I had some VH-ers on fb to keep me company but it still felt strange.

I rememeber fighting with InsaneMystic over a competition in VH. Good fun and he deserved the win. Although...

I remember sending people to bed. Man, do they ever sleep? Look who's talking...

I remember... Hmm for someone with a bad memory I do seem to remember a few things. I think I'll stop for now.

I have been here ever since I was in high school. I started off as VisionBoy but eventually grew up to VisionGuy. Which I think suits me better. (sw)

Youa re full of it - you were never VisionBoy 😛

Hmm, now I got interested. This isn't the first time VG has mentioned this. A standing "joke" or true? Like I'm not confused as it is...

My fondest memory of the boards, or favorite thing to do, is playing Scooby/Fang Gang Survivor. It's a very intense game, and everyone is so into killing off each other's favorite character.

I do remember quite a few survivor threads. One in which I had to ask people to kill me. For some reason I think they'd have a much easier time to do it now... And this is how you play the game to the fullest. From this to this. Just so you know. Fun times. 😀

 

[caitaintdead]

Ahh... So many memories over the past two years.

I remember lurking around for about 3 months before I was even brave enough to sign up. My earliest memories are of reading intelligent, brilliant and witty posts from Blondie Bear, palabravampiress and Joyce Summers. I guess you could say I looked up to them.

I remember being blown away at how many people welcomed me in.

I remember joining Drogyn and playing Get To Know You Games with Social Suicide/Cangel/Kristine, Joyce Summers and bangelxx.

I remember making my first friend, and being so shy about asking her to make me a banner. That girl was alexa, she was so lovely and sweet.

I remember her disappearing from the boards and being genuinely disappointed and upset.

I remember making friends with Airam and I remember us bonding over our joint hatred of a certain purple member.

I remember gaining confidence on the Buffy Boards.

I remember my 3 month hiatus.

I remember dramadramadrama.

I remember laughterlaughterlaughter in the IRC.

I remember meeting gem and smoking and getting told off!

I remember getting up at 4am for Big Brother and how funny it felt being without Drogyn.

I remember being so happy that while things were bad everywhere else on the boards I could click on Drogyn and was in a Christmas Wonderland with the best people on the internet.

 

[captain peroxide]

Ah,so many happy stories*wipes tears from his sleep depraved eyeball with noel edmonds type sweater sleeve*.
I feel like some kind of Buffy Boards morale officer,hey theres a thought,yeah,i wanna be the Official Buffy Boards Morale Officer,you hear me Powers that be!I want to be your Morale officer,like Andrew,but without the video camara.😀
I know you love me:lmao:
Go on admit it,you luuuurve me,lmfao.
I just love people,all people..............maybe its the drugs..............it says a possible side effect is random affection🙂
They're for my poor toothypeg,it hurts a lot!
I even love...........dare i say it..........Edmund Blackadder(shhh,dont tell him)
I'm not gay by the way,its a differant kind of love,family type love.
We have all argued,picked at,niggled,slightly ranted,and said things we didn't really mean(EB-CP)and cant admit it,that they are sorry,or posted without thinking.
My point is,we are all friends really,and look out for one another in the long run,thats what Buffy Boards has taught me,the same as the show has,that friends stick together,whatever our past histories.
Now tell me you dont love me,hahahaha.
No,tell me you do,or else!

 

[Washburne]

No,tell me you do,or else!

How typical. I have a hard time resisting "threats" like that. I won't say any such thing. 😉

*waits to see what happens*

 

[caitaintdead]

Oh, and I forgot to mention one of my favourite memories of the Buffy Boards in Drogyn was when DruRox went on a hiatus and there was no one to get drinks! Craziness... Revolver didn't vomit for well over a week.

 

[Nix]

Wow now thats asking me to go back quite a few years lol. My user names over the past have been Faithful and Foi. The biggest thing I remember is the welcome/the friendships and the general feel of the boards. I was overwhelmed with the size and amount of people that were members but I loved the layout and the people and still do. I remember families and starting to make art with the help of a few members that were giving me mini tutorials over msn and the great responce that people gave about my art that made me feel special and wanted and that still happens in the art threads here. I used to frequent a couple of other boards to but never kept going back to them the way I kept coming back here. I rememeber falling pregnant and thinking yey I have lots of time now to be on the boards as I was not working at the time. And I remember the warm congratualtions I recieved when I had Abbie 🙂 And the support this place can offer during a real life crisis is amazing. I've met up with 9 people off buffy-boards now and plan to meet up with more next year because this place has some crazy good people in it. I remember being made a mod and thinking omg I was so happy and scared at the same time. I remember thinking what the hell am I going to bring to the table as it were and still wonder that lol. But, Thanks for asking me Buffy 😉 I love being a part of the boards and don't think i'll ever leave cause the people here are too awesome (sw)

 

[Skanky Vamp]

I freak out at how long I've actually been here. I never stick around this long, especially when the board's about a series that finished years ago. Either you're all doing something right, or Buffy's putting something in the water.

Shame on me for believing you when you said it was all because of me.. when you come up for that back rub tonight, you will be getting a cold shoulder young mister!

 

[VisionGuy]

Hmm, now I got interested. This isn't the first time VG has mentioned this. A standing "joke" or true? Like I'm not confused as it is...

It's actually true. My first screen name on here was VisionBoy back when I was a wee lad in high school. I stopped coming to the boards for a few months. When I came back, I had forgotten my password so I created the screen name VisionGuy. After a while, I PM'ed BuffySummers asking her to merge both the accounts for me.

Nobody has mentioned this yet, but do any of you remember the Drogyn Open House a few years ago? That was fun. I made it my mission to find every old thread where Merrick was mentioned. I was so bad back then. (sw)

 

[Fredsicle]

I remember when I had my first username, Slayerette92, there was a pointless discussion about feminine and masculine words. Edmund Blackadder sure used to be fun. I wonder where he went off to. :O

 

[Angels baby101]

wow BB memories how to go back through 7 years of both good and bad memories and pick out my faves expecially with my crappy mememory.

I remember when i was chose to play Darla in the RPG back then i was so nervous because it was my first time ever doing something like that, Luckily Drusilla was played by the wonderful and talented Allycat who quickly became my first friend from BB (i miss that crazy guy 🙁 )

I also remember my good Friend Kris some of you may remember her as angelsbabez01 or close to that (may she finally be at peace with herself RIP miss her terribly as well)
I remember all the craziness in the board chatbox when that was around between me, WS, VG and WWP 😀 (by the way guys we're still waiting for the shirtless chocolate fight between you two)
I remember being one of the ones in the BB great deletion... I remember being in awe trying to figure out what on earth i did to get deleted then i realized it wasn't just me but Jess and Aly as well.
I remember when the briliant WS came up with the wonderful Idea of DANDER!!!!!!!! *SQEEEE* she's so brilliant
I remember the April fools between Buffy Summers and Faith, I think it was the only April Fools joke that ever had me going, when they pretended to get into the huge blow up and that faith was no longer going to be with us! *is wondering what they're gonna do next year*

All i can say is there are so many wonderful memories i have of this place, I love it here, I love the members, I love the staff...and even with the drama that sometimes overpowers this place i'm happy to be a part of this community even if i'm not around as much as i used to be.. Thanks for all the great times and great friends!!!
