[> A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away -- MaryAnn, Sun, Jan 03 - 10:01:36am

I think I know most of the history of this place. Anyone that knows more - please jump in and add!!

The first Bo and Nora site was started by Nicole in 1997. Some of the things we have here (the fave scenes, some of the articles) come from that site. There was a message board that was part of the site. It was hosted at InsideTheWeb (ITW). A lot of the soap boards at that time were at ITW. Nicole decided to have a life (whatever...LOL) and Connie started overseeing the site and the message board. In 2000 or 2001, ITW went out of business and we all scrambled to find some place to host our message boards. Connie and I played with a bunch of different boards and came up with this one. It's gone through a couple of minor transformations (color, banners, etc.) but has basically stayed the same.

Sometime in 1998 we decided to actually start saving our fan fiction. For a while I hosted it at a site that I had. Eventually I registered the boandnora.com domain name and put the FF here. At some point I started adding the video clips and pictures as well.

People have come and gone...and some have come back again. Some people have stayed the whole time. I've been here since 1998. I clearly remember the discussion of the scoop "Nora sleeps with Sam." What a crappy day that was.

That is such a great story! I had no idea that my favs. Bo and Nora even had a site until recently. So, is there anything us newbies should know? I don't want to get booted from my new found fav. site~~ lol

I remember the ITW page. I remember how excited I was to find a site and message board and people who loved Bo and Nora as much as I did. It was the days of dial-up internet and I would sneak on so much from work to find out anything and everything! LOL It was before I had internet at home too.

We had great discussions on every scoop. I remember many discussions on RSW' hair too ;-)

I'm glad I'm still here. This board is #1!!!

The only reason we had such debate about the hair was that you refused to believe eye-witness accounts of said hair... ROFL!!!! But it was fun to argue about it. Lord knows there wasn't much else to discuss at that time.

I think the Nora sleeps with Sam scoop was one of the absolute bleakest! I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.

Thanks for keeping this place alive MA! It's been a great 12 years for me, even though it wasn't all the best concerning Bo and Nora.

Sham and the Cabana was definitely the worst - certainly the most pointless. I remember the debates we used to have back then. I don't think any of us thought TIIC would be so spiteful to keep them apart this long. There is a special place reserved in soap hell for JFP! Although the subsequent regimes certainly did their own damage with the parade of crappy pairings that followed - Troy anyone? Daniel? Loonsey? Lamey? Beige? (Any of the three...)

Even tho what was happening on screen was usually not worth watching, this board managed to stay interesting. I especially enjoyed the FFs round robins we wrote for amusement - The Road Trip was a blast (Sorry Janis!) and the Mystery Solved! series would have fixed the problem before it all went so wrong.

I'm sometimes amazed that we kept the torch alive long enough for TIIC to come to their senses. All I can say is we had plenty of laughs while we waited!

I am so glad I wasn't "online" when Nora slept with Sam... because I would have been banned from here (and many other places)for my use of profanity lmao :-D

I remember my first post...I wanted to use my name but since I was not the only Jan here on the board I had to add the 2 to my name, LOL but that was ok, I didnt mind I was just soooooooo happy to find a board that had people on here that loved Bo and Nora as much as I did! It has been such a blast to still be in able to come here and know that you ALL still love Bo and Nora and that WE have been through so much together as a group on this board that love Bo and Nora, and WE all deserve what's happening to Bo and Nora and what's in store for them and us.

I can not wait to see what will happen with them. Its been worth the wait for me, the ole saying does really come true I suppose...."good things come to those who wait" ...and we have waited 10 years for this.

I so remember the old days of Nora and Sam.....that was such a bad time...I remember Connie having this as well MA and then you taking over I guess I have been here that long too, LOL

Thanks again MaryAnn for having such a wonderful message board here, if it wasnt for you and this board, I think I would be insane! LOL
