Brians board

[Amy B.]

I used to post there fairly regularly. It was nice when Brian would come on, whether it was him or not (and I think he was at least sitting there). And at one point, Van Dyke came on. Same with Taylor and Nelson, IIRC. I'd probably go there more often if the format was different, but for now I just read it occasionally to see if there's any news. I never found it too insufferable. It's just a message board. But this one is much more interesting, that's for sure.

What did Van Dyke have to say?  Did he come on the board around 2004, when BWPS came out or more recently?

Why would anybody wanna go there ?

I did, once. I got lost for about an hour.

There's a different sort of fan over there for sure... they have their pros and cons, just like the fans that frequent this board have their pros and cons.  Over there, they're much more caught up in idol worshipping Brian, but they're also in general much more pleasant (with some exceptions).  Over here, the conversation is much more intellectual but also there's much more arrogance.  The two clash, the blueboarders would hate it here and the smiley smilers hate it there.  Both have their place.  Just thing of it as a necessary evil; if there wasn't a blueboard, they'd all be over here bugging the hell out of you.

I see what someone has referred to as my "designated troll" has reappeared, cozying up to Nelson for confirming the Disney songs listed are largely inaccurate... about 36 hours after I said just that. As I said, "Alex McDonald" invariably takes a pop at me in their posts, and never contributes anything of merit. Should I be flattered at this unwarranted attention ?

If there's really people from this board that are caught posting on Brian's board, they should be banned from this board.

That would be me, then. 

heck, even I posted there (but the last time was a while back)

I believe it was 2005 or 2006. A poster from the Blueboard e-mailed VDP (which is pretty easy, I guess) and asked if he would come and post. He was reluctant because he wasn't sure if it was Wilson-approved. He ended up coming at a designated time (so people could be sure to be there) and staying for a bit. I remember that he told me loved the song "Once in Love With Amy," which made me tear up because it was my late mother's song for me. But I wish I had a transcript because I can't remember what else he said.

"Once in Love With Amy".  No wonder you liked the song!  Thanks, Amy.
