Subject: I agree that the new Voy board should be a stand alone board and not associated with anyone's site. That way it will seem like it belongs to all of us and not just one person although I guess it'll belong to the moderator. Boy this is turning into a Lord of the Flies fight over the message boards huh? heehee
In reply to: Person with crawly skin. 's message, "?? you decided there's to be a vote? A consenus about the boad at Cake or death? Which would require a vote? How controlling are you? And pushing your own (irrelevant) board, masking gleeful criticism as observation? You get to call your opinion anything you want? And you let everyone know that the thing you did about different links for different tour venues, something you took on yourself, nobody asked you, was taking you SO long. there's something very wrong, kind of makes my skin crawl. Any Voy board old or new should stand alone, not linked to anyone's web site. IMO" on 09:59:31 06/06/03 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> All the sites SHOULD link to the new message board but what I'm saying (and didn't say very well...hehee) is that maybe it shouldn't be associated with a particular fansite. That way it belongs to everyone and not just to CoD for example. Does that make sense? -- lyn, 10:33:16 06/06/03 Fri
