Tell you what
I'll leave, and Mom or skep or someone can have my membership and post away.
This just isn't fun anymore.

Well, I for one sure hope you're not serious. I've got a perfectly fine membership allowing me 18 messages per day, and any board minus Rogue lacks a certain amount of wit and wisdom. It's tough for you to have friends in so many places, friends who just can't stand each other, but think the world of you. I see that there's been a wholesale slaughter at GMA, with all the blaming posts having disappeared. Probably for the best, though. Anyway, Rogue, I hope you'll stick around, and that it'll be fun again. I've developed a whole new appreciation for one-liners, thanks to you, and I'd hate to lose that. Peace.

P.S. It's not just the one-liners, either. I think you're able to cut through b.s. better than anyone I know.

I'm with Skep. Rogue, you really do have a knack for seeing through bullshit and telling it like it is. You're also funny and I've never once see you be mean spirited.

This is my first post (I think) on this board. I was invited here long, long ago by Meme and while I peeked in a few times, I've never posted.

Now that the inevitable has finally happened (sigh) and PI has been shot down in flames, I clicked over here to see what the hell happened. After reading all the posts from February to find out, I see that ya'll seem just as confused and without an answer as I am.

My guess is that PI survived because it was wasn't much trouble, didn't cost much in the way of time or money in upkeep, and to some extent was probably sort of forgotten about.

I haven't kept up with all the soap operas, or even the board in general lately, but, something in my intuition tells me that the end came for PI when busybodies on all sides of the spectrum, from GMA, to the View, to whoever, started writing and complaining about whoever, and all the swirling talk about "private info" or whatever the hell the complaints were, turned out to be just too much hassle and trouble to deal with, costing time and money in the way of moderating and monitoring a little no-revenue board, and it was probably easier for management to simply pull the plug than it was to try and sort out who did what to whom.

From my own observations just based on the recent banter between Mom and Rogue, I'd say Mom, you are perpetuating this nightmare by not letting it go. Please don't even bother to try and explain it to me, because I DON'T CARE. The whole thing nauseates me to no end, and Rogue is right that it's just not fun anymore.

I used to love to go to PI because people talked about things of substance. Since it's denigrated into such a soap opera/pissing contest/slugfest, I've lost interest a lot and rarely went there any more anyway.

I'm not saying people should only talk about politics or whatever, I'm just saying that I don't have the stomach for all this stupid fucking bullshit - that I'm sorry Mom, you continue to perpetuate for WHATEVER reason. I'm certainly not blaming you for anything, but how long are you going to beat a dead horse, anyway? So what if he's stalking you from board to board. Who gives a shit if he has a daughter or not. He's pathetic. He's done all the damage he can possibly do, right, so LET IT GO.

If it's not fun, what's the point?

I say this, because if that is what this board is going to turn into, too, then I probably won't be much interested in posting here, either.

anyhoo, on the upside, the one comforting thing is that I didn't lose all you guys in the poof of a crumbling board and I can say to all of you how much I've appreciated the rollercoaster ride we've all had these last few years. Through the ups and down, squabbles, skirmishes and heated debates, it has been mostly fun, and I'm sorry it all had to come to an end.

Take care all, and if any of you should want to email me, my email is [e-mail]

Roguey, I've tried to email you - but the only one that seemed to work was my go.com address. I'll try to email you from another email address and see if that works. You have been hilarious and inspiring, and I hope to see you around again.

My affection and gratitude to you all...

Love and guts,

Cali
