So after some soul searching and a couple of hurt feelings ( but just a couple ) that someone scooped the Official Cullen thread moniker out from under us, I propose we just move to the new BSN, in the DAI character discussion section, with a new name. Right now I'm thinking something like The Kitten Orphanage (The Original Cullen Discussion Thread). In the OP we explain the Came for the Cullen, Stayed for the Company principle and that now we're a general DA Character discussion thread. Then folks who want to embrace All Cullen, All the time can do so in the other thread. And we can do what we do.

We can rename ourselves later on (presumably?) and remove the Culleny subtitle if we want. But for now it will allow people to find us if they want.

Thoughts?

I also agree. I think most of us just want to stay together, so to speak, without feeling like we're crashing someone else's party. And we aren't that exclusively focused on Cullen anymore...

I think it's appropriate, yes. The Kitten Orphanage would be rather fitting since several of our favorite characters seem to be cat people. Or not.

 

*sigh* I'm not making much sense. Please forgive. I've had my granddaughter all weekend and I'm tired...

I fully support this decision =) How can I not when kitties are involved (one is actually sleeping on my lap now like a baby, open mouth and all). Still, it's hard to make a complete move to new boards, I'm so used to this place. I'm trying to go through my favorite threads on bsn just in case they won't be transferred but I'm so busy atm. Anyway, yay new shiny thread.

Aww... you're not the only one who's posted in this thread where English wasn't your native tongue. Come join us, wherever we go, and post away!

Yes!

Your English is fine, and you can always ask people to help if you get stuck on trying to explain something!

[R2s Muse]

Yes, I think your English is fine! Plus, we understand, so feel free to ask. joinusjoinusjoinus

So bumping my post to this page to collect any remaining opinions. Unless someone is in a hurry, I'll be setting up the page hopefully next weekend when I return from traveling. I hope *this time* I don't have to be in a hurry.

Parroting the others... we are ready willing and able to help if you need it but your English sounds just fine to me! (Plus I recently discovered that Google translate does a pretty good job.  ) Come on in. The water's fine! 

 

On a side note - R2... you have two more weeks to make 154 more posts. Then you can drop the mic like a boss on this thread at 20,000! 

[Marika Haliwell]

:snort: Waddya know! At 25 posts a page, that's only like 6 thread pages... of me talking to myself! So... business as usual.

And upping the count with a flash of nostalgia.  

 

Because more Cullens is more. 

 

[R2s Muse]

And yet more.

(and, um, hi from a lurker).

Heh, and lookie what I found while bopping around some old thread pages!  Tish delurking for the first time! And on my birthday.

Cullen's Evil Twin! 

 

(and only 150 more to go...)

Speaking of nostalgia, I hit my 1000th post in this thread... or was it in the other one... *sieve for a brain*

Bwahahaha! Too funny! I knew I first started lurking in mid-June that year, but couldn't remember when I first posted

[fontofnothing]

Hey, guys! I meant to post this a week ago, but got preoccupied with other things and forgot to.

 

If anyone wants to find/friend me elsewhere, I'm fontofnothing on Tumblr, Origin, Steam, GOG, Twitter (used for following, not tweeting), Reddit, and Fextralife.

Although it has been a while since I have been a regular participant over here after I took break from BSN around the time of DAI's release to avoid, I have another possible suggestion for where the Cullen fans can rehome to a place that is cozy, friendly, and outside the stampede of tumblr and twitter.

 

I recently received a beta invite to imzy.com and they appear to be interested in making their social communities site work for fandom in addition to other kinds of content. Imzy is still be in beta for the next two months and they have been responsive to feature requests from their beta users. So far I have seen a group of fandom old timers discuss ways to make imzy a good platform for fandom and imzy staff have been very responsive. All of this is a good sign. 

 

Imzy sort of feels like a full featured forum site like this one crossed with a modern remake of LiveJournal/Dreamwidth. They have designed it to strongly encourage positive friendly community interactions and have a sensible mod-oriented way to mod/block/remove/disallow trollish behavior. *phew*

 

If anyone is interested in starting an imzy.com Cullen community (or a Cullenites community?) or some other similar idea where discussion ranges from random coffee chat that includes a few Cullen gifs sprinkled in once every 10 to 20 comments, I could request invites from imzy to get this started.

 

From what I have seen so far, I think it would be easy to organize an imzy community with multiple active topics. This would mean that random friendly coffee chat could occur on one endlessly long rambling thread while other things like Cullen meta, Cullen-related fanfic/fanart challenges, new Cullen-related fanworks announcements, and specific on-topic Culleny discussions could all be organized into other posts/topics. According to one of the developers at Imzy, they plan on adding wikis to the communities which would be fantastic for fandom communities. 

 

Just putting this out here for discussion if anyone is interested?
