That's awesome! and to those of you who helped out by posting the link over there a big THANK YOU! Welcome to the compound all ! I was really excited about this seaosn as well, and so i went to the hbo boards after the first episode, and thought "wow, this is cool... others are just as into this as me" but then when i went back (after the changes) it was just a complete mess. I noticed others weren't feeling it either... so I pretty much threw this board together (in about 15 minutes) that same night. Wasn't sure if anyone would find their way here, but thought it was worth a shot... given the alternative was litterally giving me headache. So really glad to have some new members and i look forward to your posts and thoughts on the show!

Well I am really glad you did put this board together.
You can tell by looking over there, that there just isn't as much conversation going on. It is annoying...
It is as if it was designed to look REALLY cool and super high tech...But it is not the traditional format of a message board and it is more trouble than it worth.
A message board needs a list of threads ready to see right away, and you need to be able to see the different forum choices too. Having to go through all those changes over there is just bleh.

Well, I'm prettys ure you were one of the first to jump on the band wagon (or refugee wagon? lol) so I appreciate your helping others find their way here. I do think the new HBO boards "look" cool... well, unless your actually trying to read them. But yeah, I think we're agreed that use wise they suck. I know this board is uber basic... but that was kinda the point, atleast to me. I was running from the "bells and whistles" at hbo , so went way in the opposite direction here.

I found you all on the hbo forum. I hate that they changed the format of the bulletins and they seem to have deleted all of the old posts which I found to be quite interesting.

HI all,
Went to the HBO forum and absolutely HATED the new design of the boards and the site. So...here I am. Thanks for keeping it simple. Sometimes, less is more.

I've been posting on the HBO Big Love Boards since episode 1. I don't think they could have screwed up the boards more if they tried! Nothing works there anymore. But I am tired of complaining so I will go to the discussion threads now... By the way, I am Withay.

Nice to see you here Withay! I find the new HBO forums to be frustrating. Plus I'm not crazy about having to use my real name, or a first initial and real last name or vice versa.
