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.
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!" -

we always made fun of the characters. always.
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 -

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. -

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?
