And she clearly isn't bothered herself about having a dedicated board and a group of fans to try to spread the word about her, it's not a priority for her. I just wonder if maybe some here feel an obligation to Stina that she herself would find puzzling and unnecessary.

Oh yes she definitely raises my protective instincts

Yup!

Meanwhile I still think if and when the new site ever comes into being,a lot of us will graduate there.Except I have a hunchetto that there ain't gonna be a forum......


Anyway I'd just like to add that this particular thread has got a bit more discussion going than we usually have these days

This topic always does, along with the bi-annual 'where the hell is everyone?' thread.

Oh yes,it's been a while since I started that old chestnut again.Where the hell is everyone anyway?

I'm here. So where are you?
As for the others!

I checked with Mattel. They would demand the name if we decided to use barbieboard.com. So that's not an option.

Typical.

Well, the old site will always be the barbieboard to me, and Mattel can go ... play with themselves.

How I wish it would come back, I miss running around it's empty halls

err, maybe I'm lazy but could someone explain why you call it Barbieboard? thank you!

remember your old Barbie and the surrounding merchandising
All the pinkish and flashy items !
So the "This is" board totally like this, so the name barbieboard appeared.

I just enjoyed a bit of nostalgia looking at some of those threads-partic. the thread about CQD in 'Morning'

I can't get in to any of the threads, only the topic headings are accessible.

I seem to remember a few of us used to have some slightly surreal fun in the 'night' forum Dave, you might want to try there for a giggle.

There were only a couple of threads I could get into-all in 'Morning'.
I'll copy/paste some of the best bits if you like

I remember I went into some sort of meltdown at the thought of my beloved barbieboard disappearing, which I know was highly amusing for some readers.

Was anyone else really anti-CQD? I can't recall now ... maybe Daniel? I know he and I used to sneak back to the barbieboard when we discovered it was still active, and run around like mad things laughing and being naughty.

It was definitely a secret little den to hide away in and get up to merry mayhem!!

I think that might be the place where I started my demented 'The Goose flies at night thread'....hehe
