Eventually I started delving into previous posts of posters I liked, which led me to PT -- a posters supergroup! Nobody invited me, but I just barged in and started posting (hope nobody here minded, and perhaps has been harboring secret resentment ever since ...  ::)). When everyone decamped to BetterMost, I followed.


Katherine - you were welcome at PT, and so much so here too.  No invite needed...was and remains a self-selecting group.  If you feel like you belong, then you undoubtedly do.

And David925 - if I haven't said so already, it's great to see you over here finally.  We've been tapping our toes, twiddling our thumbs and tipping our hats to you, wondering when you'd join us for some fun.

Glad y'all are here.  Time for coffee and cherry cake all around.

Yee Haw, pour out the coffee and slice the cake. It's time for a Brokeback Sit Down!

Thanks, Celeste!  :D I figured by now I had earned my keep, if only in sheer number of words/posts. (And actually, I have always felt right at home at BetterMost!   :-* )

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

I was never on IMDB, but I did participate in Yahoo! since I have an account there.  These two places seem completely overrun by trolls.  What a site would tolerate it, I have no idea. At the Atlanta meetup, I heard some of the IMDB horror stories, and I must say I'm glad to have a safe space to express myself.

I am happy to see you over here too TexRob. You are correct. There are some terrible horror stories from IMDb. Many of us have lived them. Welcome to Bettermost! :)

Thanks, David.  I'll never understand why major sites would allow that kind of behavior. When I get the chance, I'll really enjoy catching up to some of the interesting discussions going on here.

"I'll take a cup a coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now."

The first boards I was ever on was IMDb and that was after I saw BBM and was so anxious to 'talk' about the movie. I wasn't on very long - a couple a months - when I got disgusted by the trolls. I tried Dave Cullen's site but found it a big overwhelming. Someone on IMDb sent me a PM telling me about BetterMost. And it was just right!

It's kind of like a "Goldie Locks and The Three Bears" story.

She tried the big sized IMDb board and it was too trollish.

She tried the middle sized Dave Cullen board and it was too complicated.

But when she tried the little sized Bettermost board, it was juuuuuuust right.

Welcome to Bettermost!   :)
