... I have read every thread since the start of volleytalk and back to the days when Wolfgang was making remarks about Lindsay Kagawa's makeup when the primary board was at vbmag. Yeah, when I made those comments, others agreed with me. In fact, someone posted (and I paraphrase): "This is a volleyball game, not a night at the opera!" I still remember that. Also, the primary board was NOT at vbmag. VBmag had a forum and so did rec.sports.vb. The latter died. VBMag kept shutting down because of unruly posters (not me). Then, came Volleyball 24/7, which was a response to all those shutdowns. There was a need for a forum which would be consistently and eternally available to vb fans to read/post and VBMag was not that forum. Volleyball 24/7 lived for awhile until it was replaced, in name only, by VolleyTalk.

I always wondered if she just did not sweat that much or just bought really expensive make up. Hmm.

I was looking for the Cast Away site where I could leave thoughts and comments for Wilson the volleyball. How the hell did I get here?

I've been reading volleytalk for at least 3 years but started posting only this season. I'm probably visiting the site more now - about five times a day. If you think about it, most people with office jobs will visit their favorite sites at least two times during a work day. Time on the computer at home is another story.

I have wasted a lot of quality time with this board (with pleasure, however). I think this board has slowed down a lot in the past few years due to the advancement of techology. People used to come here to check for scores, play-by-play, etc. Now they can get live stream vdo, radio broadcast, gametrackers, etc. No need to come here anymore. That's just plain sad :-(
It's become a GLOBAL community...I've been following since I left the US 4 years ago and yet I still checked in regularly during VB season.
