Little House on the Prairie : Thanks,

Thanks,

To all of you who couldn't keep your inappropriately stupid, vulgar, off topic posts to yourself! YOU are the reason IMDb is closing the boards! Hope your happy for ruining it for those of us who just wanted to talk about a decent, family show!

Re: Thanks,

I highly doubt the decision had anything to do with the LHOTP Board which at least mostly stayed on topic. If you want a more relevant example of the likely reasons, check out the Game of Thrones Board. Nothing but OT nastiness which drive show fans away.



I call woo woo on you,

Re: Thanks,

No. It doesn't matter what board I went to (TV show, movie, celeb, etc.), someone had to start an inappropriate topic or make a nasty comment...Kind of like you and some of yours!

Re: Thanks,

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Caroline really did bang Chris the Handyman.


I call woo woo on you,

Re: Thanks,

Thanks for proving my point!!!

Re: Thanks,

Go have a drink with Mr. Edwards. You'll feel better. If that does not do it, Albert may have some extra morphine that he swiped from Doctor Baker.


I call woo woo on you,

Re: Thanks,

And again, and again, and again!!! I think that, somewhere, a bridge is VERY lonely!

Re: Thanks,

In two weeks, who will you annoy, insult, troll???

Re: Thanks,

Look Mr./Ms. Has not posted here before, the only one here insulting other posters is you. The rest are having some fun discussing this 40 Yr old show with preposterous storylines and characters. Maybe you should get some counselling for that anger from Rev Alden.

I call woo woo on you,

Re: Thanks,

Too bad I can't enjoy a board without you...Oh wait I can! Ignore!

Re: Thanks,

Typical bully. Starts crap and then whines when called on it.

I call woo woo on you,

Re: Thanks,

er, IMDB was designed to discuss tv shows and movies and some extra entertainment things... but they went full retard when they designed boards like the soapbox and the politics board. that is where it went downhill.

to be honest, it has been a lot worse here a few years ago. A LOT WORSE! [full house board? good god!]




Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

Good description of what is happening. Just like what the troll above is doing. It's too bad that a small few make it their mission to ruin it for everyone!

Re: Thanks,

LMAO. New poster comes here insulting and gets pissy when called on it. I hope the Gallender brothers break your ribs

I call woo woo on you,

Re: Thanks,

I don't know if that's the reason or not, but I 100% agree with you ronikattnig. My first thought when I found out they were closing is "Well, thank God that means all the crap people keep posting will get removed too." I've never read some more idiotic posts than I've seen at imdb, including in this LHOP forum.

Maybe now the countless "Caroline had sex with everyone", "Caroline was an idiot", "Charles was an idiot", "Albert was an idiot", "All the Ingalls' were idiots", "Who masturbated?", "Did Charles sleep with the Widow?" and all such stupid threads and comments will be gone. I guess those of you that are fascinated with posting that crap can go find an alternate place.

There are those of us out there that actually LIKE the Ingalls and DON'T think Caroline & Charles were sleeping around, and don't spend our waking moments pondering which of them masturbated, but rather just like the show as good decent entertainment and got really sick of seeing all the negative and twisted posts.

Re: Thanks,

I feel the same way, Taz.

Re: Thanks,

Or that Alice used Marys baby as a battering ram.

Re: Thanks,

Yes, well it was stated a lot. Though in fairness, I have the remastered Blu-ray and there's no doubt that she did actually hit the window with the baby... But still. The one I got sick of was every other post trying to make a joke about Charles' ribs or him going shirtless. It was mildly funny the first time. The 250th time, not so much...

Re: Thanks,

Thank you!!!

Re: Thanks,

but charles WAS an idiot!

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

Perhaps in real-life to some degree, but as portrayed on the show, that as a whole is not a defensible position. That's another thing I won't miss: the umpteen zillion times you felt the need to tell everyone how in real life Charles was an ass. Thank you for proving the point of this thread.

I said nothing of the sort.


bitch.

Wow looks like the gloves have come off know with the closing.

Re: Thanks,

I am sick of this Tasmanian devil.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

I run into your post on several different boards must be close in age?
40s here

End of line

Re: Thanks,

yup. I am 40.


Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

Well, on the thread "the more and more I watch this show", you said this:


they were all heaven sent considering the reality. dad was a douchebag, ma wasn't much better, eliza jane was a bitch....


So I apologize. You didn't call him an ass. You called him a douchebag and Caroline only a slightly better douchebag.
So much better than calling him an ass. Though I bet if I tried hard enough I could find a thread where you called him an ass too...

Re: Thanks,

but I didn't say that here. so stop accusing people of stuff they don't do.


but the ass here is you.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

I never said you called him an "ass" on this thread, I was talking generically about many of your posts. On this thread you just called him an idiot. On the other thread I quoted you called him a "douchebag" - I quote your own words where you called him and Caroline douchebags and Eliza Jane a bitch. If you think he's an idiot and a douchebag, shouldn't you think he's an ass too?

If you'd rather, I'll take the word "ass" back and just say that I won't miss the umpteen zillion times you feel the need to call him a douchebag or idiot. There, better??

I guess I'm in good company with Eliza Jane and numerous other people I've seen you attack with the word "bitch" though - I almost see it as a badge of honor being called an ass and a bitch by you.

Re: Thanks,

actually you did.

it is the real trolls who drudge up things said on one thread and drag them to other threads and boards.


and I only bring these thing up because even the real Laura was trying to caution us on how her father really was. Her stories about her life were good but too juicy for children when she first wrote them.


Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

You make me laugh deem_bastille. On a thread talking about the problem of stupid and inappropriate posts and in reply to my post talking about how maybe all the posts talking about how stupid the show and the Ingalls were will stop now, the fact that you went out of your way to comment that Charles really is an idiot, shows everyone who the real "troll" is. Then when I generically said I was sick of you in general calling him an ass, you object at that characterization on my part because you didn't call him literally an "ass" on this thread. Then when I show words that you said not YEARS ago, but only 6 days ago on another thread, calling him and 2 others douchebags and bitches and then calling me a "bitch" for calling you on it...well, I think it all speaks for itself my friend. This is EXACTLY why imdb forums need to close.

I'm seriously laughing right now. I'm done responding to you. And I'm glad this forum won't be here for you and your fellow show bashers to soil in 2 weeks. In the meantime have it. Start several more threads if you want calling him an idiot and a douchebag. Enjoy! Knock yourself out!

Peace out. :)

Re: Thanks,

All one needs to do to see why imdb forums are being shut down is look at some of the thread titles of this forum from the last 10-20 days:

"Is Grace the love child of handyman Chris and Caroline?"
"Masturbation"
"Rev. Alden was a terrible judge of character"
"Albert was a bastard in every sense of the word"
"Was Charles The Most Beat-Up Regular Character On T.V.?"
(considering there were only like 3 episodes out of 200+ where this happened proves this question and topic to be nothing but spam - proved further by the poster's bumping of his own thread 3-days-later to get comments!)
"Caroline Cheating"
"charles was a fake tough guy"
"Mr. Edwards was a Satanist"
"how often did charles and caroline have sex?"
"charles just cracks me up"
"Charles Most Hypocritical Moment?"

And that's just some of the top-level thread titles. Most of the others have similar comments within them by a very vocal handful of users - making fun of the show and/or making twisted comments. The overall vibe of the forum hasn't been fans discussing the show, but a group of immature guys just wanting to rag on the show.

Multiply this problem by many of the other TV shows and movies on imdb, and one easily sees why imdb could come to such a conclusion. This kind of stuff can affect the portrayal of shows which can make content owners very unhappy and can also affect advertising.

Re: Thanks,

There's a big difference between making fun in a reverential way versus just being crude for the sake of being crude and/or seeking to attack or demean just to make the show seem stupid or ridiculous to people. Many of the posts in question have been of this latter type, NOT the Alison Arngrim type. There is room with LHOP to have some good-natured fun, but that can be done in a reverential way. There have actually been some good funny posts like that in the past. But some - especially more recently - have crossed the line into just being mean and/or vulgar and/or obviously trolling. That is what the OP and myself (and surely countless "silent others") have objected to.

What I find really interesting is that even with only 2 weeks left to go, a few posts are SO off-the-charts bad that even imdb feels they need to remove NOW. The post that user Albert_Ingalls (whose posts are almost always vulgar) posted the other day with a whole crude paragraph about just how he wanted to screw (his word) Laura has completely disappeared from the forum.

Re: Thanks,

That's because, even though the boards are closing, "his" post was completely inappropriate and too vulgar to leave for the remaining time AND the reason it IS happening! And I say to "his" ilk, "THANKS for ruining it for all!"

Re: Thanks,

I find him not that bad. Yeah, he is crude but there are plenty worse posts and posters around. you know there is a guy who was starting polls on 'who was hotter, Laura or Mary?'

sick.

Re: Thanks,

Thank you ron. My feelings exactly!!!"Charles did ...such & so ...Caroline did 'yadda yadda ' " ,Carrie's mentally unstable , etc." This is NOT grammar school, people ! If you want to play that game I suggest you build your own "Let's Make Fun Of The Citizens Of Walnut Grove " board now that you can. since you destroyed this one!

Re: Thanks,

Wrong Katzi428. It was the overly sensitive types such as your pal “ron” and that TazMoose joker that destroyed it. It's sad, but America's founding Father's foreseen a time in which the 1st amendment would be a necessary process to curtail your liberty challenged friends.

Re: Thanks,

Ah, the sign of a true "Advanced Troll", other than the incessant name-calling, is the tried-and-true "I'll post my crap under multiple accounts" method. I find it quite interesting "Truthisgood" that you only have 4 posts under your profile, 3 of which are the ones here today and the first one was on a thread on a completely different forum with only 3 replies and one of those replies just happened to be from our very own infamous "Albert_Ingalls" troll. Wow, imagine that! What are the chances?!

Me thinks you might go into withdrawal once your outlet to attack here dries up shortly. I hope you have alternate sites where you can get your "troll" fix because just like a junkie (or Albert in "Home Again") you're gonna need it. Otherwise the withdrawal might be overwhelming. If you can't find Charles to sit with you and hold you down when the tremors come, you might find you need therapy to help you through. But there's freedom on the other side! You don't have to be a troll any longer! This could be your opportunity to embrace that "good Truth" your new username mentions of what you have become and what you could be. Just like Albert in Home Again, YOU "Albert_Ingalls" can go "cold turkey" and experience freedom from your trolling ways!

Re: Thanks,


If you can't find Charles to sit with you and hold you down when the tremors come

and the puking. 👄

I don't even know ron! I was just agreeing with him ! This is(or was in this case) a place to discuss LHOP normally without making fun of the characters & each other. I've found myself blocking some people because I didn't want to see their stupid posts. Why get myself annoyed over trolls? In my opinion getting the boards taken down is a good idea. There's other boards on here that are hell to deal with . I'm sure the mods have thrown their hands in the air & said "Enough is enough!"

Re: Thanks,

we always made fun of the characters. always.


Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

That's probably true. I myself have only been here about a year I think so I can't speak to what it was like in years past. But I do know that in the last year, while I've always observed some "making fun" comments, something shifted several months ago and they started becoming more mean-spirited in tone than was previously the case. There was a very notable shift in the overall tone of the forum. But again, maybe that's not a new thing and there's been different cycles and maybe in years past it was similar or worse - I wouldn't know.

Actually, compared to some shows' forums, this LHOP forum could be considered saintly in comparison, but that's not saying very much...

Re: Thanks,


we always made fun of the characters. always.

We made fun of the fictional characters, not the real Ingalls family. That's because the writers tried to make them relevant to a 1970s audience by having the characters face 20th Century issues through an 1870s filter (i.e. drug abuse became Albert's morphine addiction), and a lot of the times this concept backfired. The anachronisms and general lack of continuity could have some unintentionally humourous results.

That didn't mean we hated the show. I still like the series. We just had some fun with it.

Re: Thanks,

yeah, characters, as i said.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Thanks,

You know who's really to blame for IMDb shutting down the boards?

Nancy Oleson

She only existed to torment all those around her so it was inevitable that her unholy presence would manifest itself on the forum. Does anyone know of a good exorcist to finally get rid of this pesky demon child once and for all?
