You mean 7 or 8 groups in 7 or 8 different threads??

About 7 or 8 groups. After one thread was done we'd start another one. They're still over there but probably have to go back quite a ways to find them.

I wonder why people totally disappear like this?? They could just post once a month or something instead of completely leaving the site.

No the 7 or 8 threads was my group LOL

well, everyone can rest assure that I'll be here for as long as possible. Unless of course I have another stroke like my one 8 years ago.

But I'm sure there were a few THOUSAND active members during the halcyon glory days of the early 2000s correct?

The stats only go back to 2005. I don't think we ever had 2000+ daily logged in members. The record is 1262 members logged in on April 1, 2007.

2005-2006 - 500-700
2007-2008 - 400-500
2009-2016 - 300-400
2017-2020 - 300 or less

2141 members have logged in the last 6 months, so we still have a decent amount of activity. Some people may only log in once a week or a few times a month.

Facebook has a very sticky site. The people who are on there generally don't want to leave it.

Unfortunately we don't get many new registrations with people are really active. I think the lower activity is common for many message boards in the last 10-15 years.

Family Ties Forever! (Jenny) has vision problems that have made it very difficult for her to read and post. I hope she can one day return and use a screenreader for the blind to help her. She's always been a very nice and friendly member here.

Most people generally don't post goodbye or farewell posts because they might have plans to return in the future.

Family Ties Forever! · 02-28-2020, 03:55 PM

Thank you for asking about me.

Thank you TJ for your words. Yes, my vision has gotten worse. I just signed in for the first time in awhile. I thought the last time I logged in was early January, but it's saying 11/11/2019. That was a shock to me.

I got to see Janice last month. She and Lou could tell in the two years since I lad last been there that my vision was worse.

In addition to my vision I'm having a lot of family problems.

When I first arrived in 2001 everything was centered around Facts Of Life. There were so many members using "Jo"in their screen names. My goodness! The arguments that were who was better ;Jo or Blair were hilarious!

I miss those old days sometimes. We have matured! haha

Mr. Television · 02-29-2020, 01:48 AM

I still remember the day John Ritter died. This place was busy that day. I think that was a record for users at the time. I think everyone had a JR avatar. It was all sort of surreal.

Yeah, I remember that well although not on here. I remember George Noory on Coast to Coast AM announced John's death at like 12:30am and I just sat there STUNNED! I thought he got the name wrong because John was still young & not even sick!

Also I remember Nick @ Nite had a tribute to John and at least 24 hours in a row of TC! Antenna or MeTV didn't exist back then. TV Land did and they did a tribute to John too.

I don't even know if Nickelodeon exists anymore! If they do I don't think they show classic sitcoms anymore.

Blair.

I think every teenage boy or young man had a crush on Blair back then!

Jo was just too manly.

Yes. She has vision problems, so that's why she's not really on here as much anymore.
