With another season of Idol almost over, and in preparation for the plethora of leaving threads soon to plague the forums, I thought we could all sit back over a quiet one and reflect on the last year (or three) on Idolblog.
- Favourite memories?
- Least favourite memories?
- Members you miss and wish were still a part of the site?
- Members you don't miss and are glad are gone?
- Biggest scandal of the last year (or three?)
Or any other random titbits you feel like sharing as we sigh and gaze dreamily out the window, thinking about the long-lost Speka?
does easitman have a different name on here? that was someone that bugged the heck out of me! - but still was good to read his reply comments!
lol Tui Billboard comp
Omg. :'(
This thread makes me sad
I miss so much! The controversial threads that spazz would start LOL! (that's a hint, buddy), Nelliebombs (though in all honesty, I much prefer the '06 Nellie), penname, phokkie, bernadette, Swayer, Speka, ruffryder... Idolblog during the first Idol show....
Oooh Speka! He hasn't fallen off the earth and can sometimes be found playing on TM: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Messages.aspx?id=13373697&threadid=13373697
And the time where I posted a pic of him in the gallery and Admin started a thread asking if it really was him. I have never laughed so hard over a thread before - some of the posts had me crying!
I even miss the Michaelboppers. Nothing has ever come close to that weird nation of obsessed teenage girls. I was hated by the majority of them and it was always great when they would join forces and call me names LOL!
cantdecide when she was in txtspk mode LOL! I'm pretty sure I used to give her constant grief...
*sigh*
The problem is, there's no one to stir the proverbial pot any more
Chevy's gone soft, mumsgirl is no longer with us, Ubi is just lame, I mean hell - what's the point in starting a controversial thread if there's no one to get furious with? We'd all just agree with each other and it'd be over just like that LOL!!
Bring back mumsgirl/Liz Shaw/ILD/OldschoolChevy/Panasonic et al!
lower case 'c' dam it!
B*tch, you ain't my baby's daddy.
I think most of us were doing it just for the fun... hehe
Now days everyones just to buzy iether at work, Skool, Family or everyday life. I thought life was supposed to be easier as we got older??
Older as in retired, chev. Whoever told you it was any earlier than that, they LIED!
I don't have a Panasonic but will my Sony TV do?
*Wonders why that thread was removed already ;)*
The SouthPark/C4 thread. Myself, m_c and several others versus chevy and Ubi. That would be one of the best forum spats ever.
hehe
fun &games on IB
Wasn't it?
Out of curiosity, when are we holding the IB Awards this year? I mean, if I remember rightly, we held it this time last year...
I think Mr Phantomb does that
*blows the Phantomb conch*
So Jaynee was the one who started the 'Michael's Belly Button' thread
:
Oh my goodness the debates about snail trails and bits of Michael that were glimpsed at Idolised were hilarious................ I was trying to find a thread where Loyal was cracking me up when I came across it
LOLOL *hides*
Nothing here has ever come close to those Michael boppers! What is it about Michael that inspired all those fans of his to be so besotted!
They popped up everywhere - whatever the topic you were talking about, someone would come along and rave about Mikey! Some people like Alaina are excluded here - she's much too sensible to have licked poles and other such Idol worship!;) In the end the best thing to happen at that time for the sanity of everyone who wasn't a Michael-bopper - they were put in a separate forum and told to confine their comments to there.
Thought Ben (this year) may have attracted the same type of fans, but his are much more level-headed!
Though I thought Speka was pretty mean at times, know a lot of the time he said things just to wind up the boppers! And did laugh and secretly agree sometimes!:) Miss the some of the serious discussions he started, some you could get very involved with, certainly gave you something to think about.
Miss Penname and her chats about TV programmes, and in Speka's discussions!
Miss Easitman who often made me laugh! Remember the big arguments he had with Speka and some others, with him defending Ben, got pretty heated and went on for days at a time!
Thinking abouts misses - haven't seen vee for a while here!
Was glad to see the back of LS! Stayed away from here when she seemed to be dominating all the threads! Was very happy when she was banned.
Some people like Alaina are excluded here - she's much too sensible to have licked poles and other such Idol worship!
LOL!
I just team up with Blah and make books telling Michael how to spell his name so he can spell it properly when signing autographs. XD
We are awesome
Yus.
I wonder if he still has that bag of stuff. And if he ever learnt to spell his name properly.
Oh and I was thinking the other day, it'd be so funny to go to a 5star Fallout gig wearing a Michael is my Idol t-shirt. XD
LOL you so should
XD
I miss Nutty and Ruff_Ryder too..
Or what about when Nellie apogised for calling Susie gorgeous or something.
OOO and the idolbloggers talking on the phone thing. And I said Blah was really quite
Fave memories would have to be when I first join Idolblog...Oh wer'nt we soo passionate about Nz Idol 1!!!we all knew eacother..it was like our very own small community..and I loved the heated discussions and debates on social issues such as the Civil Union and all!..Loved it!!!
Penname!
I don't remember much about her, but I do remember reading a thread about her and Speka and they were saying the truth about them or something? "The truth about Penname and Speka"? And they said that there wasn't anything really going on and they would never meet because of something but they talked on the phone and stuffff. I even remember little quotes and stuff from that thread xD
I think it was one of the first non-Michael threads I read.
Is there anyway we can dig that thread out?
No that was IB-1. I think when everything was imported to IB-2 alot of threads that were not wanted by members wouldve simply been deleted.
I doubt it.
Yes. Christmas in the park was the bestest. Specially when she put that red round thing up for the photos
Hello!
I still pop in now and then to have a little perv! Lol, thanks for the email Luvz
Lmao i so remember the bopper who licked that damn pole.
I think the most controversial/scandalous time would have to be a toss up between the picture displaying the glorious physcial features of Ben Supporter, and Miss Shaw and the pictures displaying her favourite kitty.
Speaking of kitties, how are your pornstar kitty pjs?
I miss you loooooover!
I had to go and find a boyfriend because I thought you left me! Haha.
Hya long time no see, i seldom visit High Flyers sometimes and was at the Break Bar checking out some Rock group Sniper Alley that i knew 10years ago
Oh you made my day coming on here Sways - Luv Ev
:
OMG. It's SWAYER! I remember the semi-lesbian fling you and Nellie reportedly were having. Steamiest confuddlement EVER.
Swayer! Ahh, I remember the night you were up in Auckland fondly... You rode in the Spazzmobile ^_^ hehehe
Are you still as dirrty as ever? Idolblog is so clean without you
Haha, that's okay!
I thought you might like to see how many people missed you XD Heh.
Swayer
Hey Minnles! How are you?
I'm wearing my Michael is my Idol t-shirt today. XD
I also miss the PIMP spazz.
LOL! I've been extra-good lately. I'm still yet to have a proper girlfriend that didn't come from Idolblog but meh, they just don't know what they're missing out on
Well, that's what I like to think anyway
Guess what spazzomatazz? Jessie's coming to the final with us
Hot.
Hehe score
Who's 'us', incidentally?
Um you me alaina blah (?) Hayley (?)...who knows, whoever
Oh cool! We can bop together haha
Oh btw, I just downloaded a song I heard on last night's Scrubs episode which sounded awesome, called "All the Words" by a band called Kutless. A quick Google search revealed them to be a way hardout Christian band, and the lyrics to that track are a homage to Jesus. All of a sudden, I don't like them so much. Am I a bad person?
I noticed that. I hate preachy Christian bands with a passion, and I listened carefully to the words - any song that says "I lift up my arms and worship you" is a big solid no-no. Give me a P.O.D. anyday.
