What exactly is "old BOTB"?

sweetpea7628 · January 2009

Anyone care to clarify for me?

Chatham2007 · January 2009

For me, it is a simpler time of 3 day waiting, block feature and a heavier balance of familure faces.

Apparently it was a couple of months ago when the Alternest crowd was the big dogs and there were no newbs and no stupid questions and everyone loved everyone and was so helpful to all those in need.

It was never like that, eeeeeeever.

It's all the old people who GBCBOTB in November after all that drama. I think the old is gone and probably will never be the same even if they all do come back. Whatevs. It's not the same, but I wasn't all hung up on the exodous, quite frankly.

sweetpea7628 · January 2009

What's funny is the "old people" who all left back in November were not really so much the "old people" of BOTB. There are plenty of us who have been around for years. A lot of the good ones have gone away little by little.

Exactly. Like I said earlier, there was short mourning period followed by an orgy followed by pie follwed by... well nothing really, we got over it.

I know. Just meant "old" as in "no longer here". Stick out tongue

I've posted for almost a year and lurked for long before that... I don't ever remember a time when everyone loved everyone.

whitneyandbrook · January 2009

I don't know, but personally, I think ppl should stop dwelling on the past. I vote that we get to know the non-familiar faces instead of making them feel unwelcome because they are not apart of the "old BOTB"?

Just sayin.

Methinks you may have misunderstood mandy.

In my two years here (mostly as a lurker until more recently, granted) I don't remember this either.?

Monkeybuttwhat · January 2009

Ok IMO old botb has nothing to do with "who" is posting. It has to do with the posts being about things other then stuff people are talking about on activeboards.Like babies, news, politics, charts, etc.

rachi · January 2009

Mostly I just wish the stupid 'code talk' and posts about absolutely nothing over and over and over would stop (people pretty much being annoying just to be annoying).

I have accepted that a lot of people have left and there is a new crowd.

Do we really have to wait until next week? Ok, how about just the pie then?

Apparently in all your lurking and posting it seems you've lost the ability to observe sarcasm.
But thanks for clearing that up for me.?

Nah, not lost totally. Sorry not feeling well today - it took me another read to get that.?

I concur.

People from the "old BOTB" would have gotten that Mandy. Big Smile

So you're saying you feel it is too much about those things? Hmmm... I must ponder this one. I honestly had not picked up on that.

:passes pie and sprays armados with whipped cream:

We can have our own orgy anytime you want.

Ditto Armandos.

Monkeybuttwhat · January 2009

I am saying I want to talk about things like babies, news, politics, charts, etc.so I have decided I will do that happily.

armandos_girl · January 2009

Ok, I get it now.

With the exception of the past 2 days, that's basically what it has been (minus the occasional orgy that is - I blame Weelass)

Sweetie_Darling · January 2009

easjer05 · January 2009

Given how much discussion has been given recently about who is a newb and who isn't, I think it's fair to say that Mandy's description is accurate.

To me it was you, nerds, jessi, shari, bada, myself, mady, mrs.white, boo, princess staying up to the late hours goofing around.

I also think it's worth mentioning that there's a small difference between "old" nighttime BOTB, which is what MW has outlined, (but she forgot MEE), and "old" daytime BOTB. Even if there was some overlap in the clientele, I think the vibe was different between the two times of day.
