| I've been posting here since around the beginning of 2006. I don't know about "more fun," but this board was definitely livelier then, because I believe there were more--not fewer--people posting in those days. Those people were passionate and opinionated, and you could get pretty severely bashed if you didn't share someone else's opinion of, say, the order of brilliance of the Mame replacements, or Billy Elliot's chances of a ten-year run in New York. Today, you're more likely to get bashed if you don't share someone else's concept of political correctness. I think I preferred the old arguments. But this is still a place where you can ask virtually any question about the theater and very probably get a definitive answer within an hour. And a livelier Broadway season, of course, makes for a livelier board, while a season as dull as this past one doesn't help much. |
