Can somebody give me the cliff notes version of what happened this afternoon? I do not have time to sort through thousands of posts trying to figure it out. All I can glean is that people are majorly pissed at McBenny. What was the "joke" that is being referenced? Did she say she deleted the forum? After a week of being excluded and lied to and lied on, I put the forum in maintenance mode for minutes. The panic by some people was the first time I have smiled in a week. OMG the dramatics, you really had to be there on my end. There they were only worried about themselves and if they would have somewhere to post. Concerned that they had been through so much (nominating and voting) and what would they do. Never not once stopping to think how someone else must feel.
AmyG told them the forum could not be in maintenance mode and deleted but they didn't believe her.
HE told them I am a woman of my word, but they didn't believe her.
Keep in mind, I had already said in writing on the Admin board (a board that enchanted, brux, sterling, hilarity, frank, anarossi, and someone else I can't remember all had access to and read that morning, that yes I would give the forum to the elected HBIC.
Also keep in mind that me, of my own volition created a burner email, transferred the forum to that burner email, so that it would be an easier hand off and again I TOLD THEM THIS IN WRITING.
I then passed the information to enchanted who came in so quickly and changed the password that I could not even take it out of maintenance mode myself.
I then posted that it was a joke. Again, the dramatics. I was told I had no disregard for their feelings. I was selfish and unkind. Again, all about them.
Yet I tell you, if I caused any pain in those minutes it does not compare what I have been through since Saturday when all I wanted was a place for people to post. All invited and none excluded.
Their reaction really brought home the point I said all along - lazy, selfish, and entitled

I'm watching a show on Netflix called "The Keepers" about a predatory priest from Maryland and how it could have led to the death of a Nun. Holy crap guys. I mean, I know there have been things about priests and all, but this is horrible. My Netflix suggested this last night. It was at the top of my screen. Is it good? Is it real or a made-up story?

This is why I enjoyed the "ignorance is bliss". I was able to vote on the things that mattered to be and move on. I couldn't deal with the drama and am sorry that anyone who was working to make a home was put throw the BS they were.

I'm still watching 13 reasons why on Netflix. I am enjoying it but at the same time.... I just want it to be over. I'm pretty sure I am going to cry at the next one (I think episode 10) because it's the one of the main characters tapes.

amberlie, I agree. Very difficult. I'm still not sure how I feel about a second season, but I'll still watch it.

Anyone with Hulu ever watch Casual? It's a Hulu original and really good. They just started the 3rd season.

Betweenthelines I wasn't sure about s2 either. But I feel they left a lot of questions. I'm curious to see how it's structured without the tapes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

McBenny thanks for explaining. I was out too after the drama. I do remember you saying you would transfer right from the beginning. I just didn't get what people's issues were.

Betweenthelines and amberlie about a second season for 13 reasons. DS1 and were talking about it the other day. Felt like it might be a bit too much if they make it a continuation (like same actors/characters), but might be better with a True American Crime style, different characters. It did definitely feel like it was left to just continue though.

jedi I can't remember exactly... but I think 11 isn't as graphic, but still very emotionally difficult. I believe ep 11 is main character's tape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

redandblue many of the actors have talked about upcoming s2 and it seems it will be the same cast. Showrunners also said that "Hannah's story is not over," so I'm assuming flashbacks or something. Either way, it will be the same characters I'm pretty sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

redandblue , I definitely agree, they ended it in a way that it can definitely be picked up.. I just feel like they could have did the one season and stopped there.

from Risscaboobs and I'm sharing because it's genius GIF SHORTCUT (iPhone) Step 1: Go to settings. Step 2: General. Step 3: Keyboard. Step 4: Text Replacement. Step 5: Click the + in the upper righthand corner. Step 6: Type [ img]X[/ img] (without the spaces) in Phrase. Step 7: Type "gif" or whatever word you want to type that will make this appear. If you actually want to say "gif" a lot without having to click the small "x" when the popup autocomplete comes up, choose something else. Like frogtits or whatever. Step 8: Click save. Step 9: Gif to your heart's content.
