The World Beyond BetterMost > Anything Goes
OK guys is it my imagination
MaineWriter:
I'm missin' the NC17 days, I'm missin' Nicole and I'm missin' rt who seems to have gone AWOL, too. Not sure what happened...is it the move or something else?
And as David said, the board was very quiet all weekend. Maybe everyone is realizing it is time to move on? If that's the case, it makes me very sad, since I never want our little community to end.

All along, I always knew that if BetterMost was all things Brokeback Mountain and the movie, the days for this place being relevant to a large group of people would be short. After all, how much and how long can you discuss every little detail about the film itself?
I created BetterMost as a journey. People enter by focusing on the film and its characters and the meaning of its message. Then they begin to consider what that message means in their own life. And finally they finish the story in their own lives, and that's an ongoing process.
BetterMost is a social networking and support site. We have one major thing in common with each other - we've all been hit hard by the film. It -connected- with us and touched us. Apart from that, we often lead very different lives. Among all of us, we have such a huge range of collective wisdom, experience, and interests, that it's a shame we haven't shared more of them with each other.
The real reason for Anything Goes was never just as a place to post risque cowboy pics. It was laying the foundation for us to begin discussing the things that interest us in our own lives apart from just all-things Brokeback. I remember nicpic64 talking about how she'd be there if we started talking about motherhood, teaching or Canada. These things are all 'real life' issues which can be openly discussed right here.
BetterMost will continue to evolve in the weeks ahead. We won't be leaving the movie behind, because there will always be new Brokies (and old ones who see it again and realize they just 'got' something they missed before), but we will continue to work on making sure this place isn't just frozen in time.
Some old friends may leave, but with all of your help, we'll have new ones join us as well.

I actually want to start talking about the movie again...it feels like I never talk about it anymore. I also think I'm gonna watch it tomorrow night, have some alone time and put on my headphones and watch it on here.

Just to let folks know--I am almost never online on Saturdays and Sundays, though every once in a blue moon I might be. I hope to make up for my weekend quietness Mondays through Fridays.
Cheers,

--- Quote ---It seems like the NC17 thread was the Chez Tremblay Studio 54 for a while but I guess we're all creatures of habit at heart and we liked posting THERE. And I know Phillip's gotta keep an eye on the length of the threads and our heels have cooled a little since we stopped posting in it... It was like a little home for us to come to of a night (day for me, but again, I'm not on holidays anymore) and talk to each other. Sorry, but just wasn't the same anywhere else, not for me..
I'm missin the NC17 days so much I can hardly stand it...

Actually, I am too. Perhaps it's not the thread but it's what was happening there nightly. I can't really explain it but it was a little home and having it as part of the CT board allowed everyone on the board to cruise in and add their two, ten or twenty cents. To Phil's point, it has been a launching pad to some other great things...
We can always revive the NC-17 thread -- it's really only been about a week now though it seems like much longer, eh?
Leslie, thanks for missin' me. xoxox
