Soapboards has over 10,000 members

[Chloe O'brien]

I will keep posting as long as it's here. If someone has said to me five years ago your going to spend most of your nights chatting on the Internet I would have laughed in their face as about 12 years ago my sister got her computer and her and her partner at the time used to spend a lot of time in chatrooms and it was with a dial-up conection so you can imagine their phone bills. She was always trying to get me to join one and I was like no way hoosie I'm not talking to someone I don't know or can't see. Then I got my own PC and began reading the bbc spoiler to catch up with episodes of ee that I had missed but that shout down and I was directed her. I can remember posting my first comment thinking god I'm going to be told to beat it but no my comments were answered and then I gradually built up the confidence to say Hi on Shoutbox.

As Chris says it's not only a forum it's like a family. If you don't feel like posting you can just come for a chat on shoutbox and there is some weird and wonderful conversations going on some nights we can go from the happy, to sad, to the total mental within a couple of posts.

What I love about here is that we can have a diffrence of age group all interacting brilliantly together and it's amazing to see that a lot of members who were still at school when they joined now are either at Uni or getting ready to go. It's just like watching them grow up and let's not forget the many SB babies that have been born during the time this forum has been online

So if your not long joined this forum or have been around for a while and are a bit shy come and say Hi there's plenty of room in here for new family members.

I know I'm not around posting as much as I used to, but then having 4 kids (and the hubby lol), plus the business etc, means I don't get a chance to come on as much and spend a huge amount of time here.

But I'll always be here and posting, whether it be small amounts, through read and run, or some nice essays

This was my first forum, the original for me, and I only belong to one other now.

And people are right when they say, SB's is more like a family than a forum of friends.

I have been on the SB's about the same amount of time as Shiv, Kath and a bunch of others, not only have I found some life long friends, I have found a new FAMILY, we all have shared some good and bad times of our lives. We have seen new babies come in, weddings, divorces and all sorts of things in our lives,,
Rimmer thanks so much for setting up a HOME AWAY FROM HOME for some of us..

As this is my 7000th post and I'm about to be Tangoed I couldn't pick a more approraite thread to post in. In the last four years I have met wonderful funny, mad, compasionate and unique members on here that I have never met in real life and I adore every one of you. So I'm raising my cup of Scottish blend tea to each and everyone of the members who I have had the privlage of laughing with and winding up (Sorry EE fans) and to the members who I have not had met but hope to do so soon.

As most member on here will know I'm a serious 24 addict and there is only one-line that I can some up this is to Rimmer as some may know I have had the privlage of meeting. As Jack said at the end of day 4.

Oh those three weeks are great. No real work done. You can't be bothered, teachers can't be bothered. They always let you go early.

Not good when you have to wait for the bus then I hope to drop down to 3 subjects but the head of 6th form is trying to avoid letting anyone It's pointless me carrying 4 on becuase I know which 3 I want to take to A2.
