Message boards are slowly dying all over the place. I am on 2 other message boards and they have been arounds since the late 90s. The traffic there is way slower than it used to be even 5 years ago.
Message boards were created at the dawn of the internet. It was exciting. But now people use Facebook and other means for social content. I suppose we are all dinosaurs here. But I insist I am the youngest one

Probably, but it's me that Rod sings to...

May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto others as you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young (forever young)...

I remember the bulletin board systems that existed first. I used to post on one for The X-Files. I think there was one for Fleetwood Mac that some of the people here were on , before The Ledge. Communicating with other fans was very exciting.

The first board I participated on was on Prodigy. Prodigy was my first introduction to the internet.

I remember when there used to be chat rooms on this board.

I remember the bulletin board systems too. The first fan site I visited was the NicksFix. That place became very popular during 1997 and The Dance. Fans could post reviews and there was so much data and information on the site.

Anyone remember Emerald Eyes, the Christine tribute site? What was the site that made a fuss over Christine's green cup next to her on the Dance tour. Was it called the Green Cup?

I remember when the NicksFix got chat around 2001. They had to ban the word Stevie because people were thinking it was really Stevie in the chat. Once I had this conversation that was just really odd. I finally asked, how old are you and the person responded 10. I hung up and never went back to the chat there. Even though our conversation was just fanned based, adults and children should not be chatting together. I kept thinking this person is an idiot. At 10 they dont know much about stuff.

I lurked here forever before joining. Michelle I remember you giving me that third degree before signing up. You told me you were getting lots of spam and wanted to know if I was real. I think you gave me some sort of quiz before you approved my membership

LOL. There was a lot of spam. There still is. I mean they get on and start posting porn. And captcha is not enough to keep them out.

What you said about the 10yo reminds me of Seinfeld. Elaine was talking to a teen about movies and she did not realize it was a kid.

I remember the Nicksfix too, it changed the url to rockalittle.com years ago. It still out there.

I remember the "Ask Stevie" section, where you can fill a form with a question for her. Many anwsers were very very laconic, it was obvious she didn't enjoy it. But few answers were interesting. Somebody asked about recording SYW without Christine. She said "It was not as much fun. It was strange and unfamiliar working without Christine. We missed her."

Yes I believe that was it. Good memory!!!! It was a tribute site to Chris. But back in those days it was fairly basic. It was called that because you clicked to enter and there was a picture of Chris on the Dance tour with a fluorescent green cup behind her on keyboards. I can't recall if there was anything for fans to do on the site. It was more of a tribute site if my memory is correct.
Long nets of white cloud my memory.
