Gosh I wish NR didn't change :S

[~phoenix~song~]

i no! i loved NR i was a Golden Oldie - i had 2 clubs (now somebody has nicked 1 of them!! <looks outraged>)
and i had loads of members for my clubs and loads of e~buds who i miss terribly!!!!

i will give you the NR moaner boards password so we can mopan together

[musikitamanga]

btw don't wish to sound ignorant but what is or was Nr?

[~phoenix~song~]

Yer basically NR stands for Newsround. It had loads of message boards where you could discuss things.
I always went on HP boards and HP actors board was my home board.
I loved NR untill i went on one day and they had cancelled my account and they had changed the boards completely.

The only good thing now is that you can post webby addys and smilies - but that's it.
Also it takes like 3 days to get your message on - sometimes it never goes on.

So that's how i lost my club - the messages i posted used to be on Mon and Wed - well those were my club notices, member lists, quidditch prompts, snitch messages and general chat messages.
Now i never have a full inbox like i used to have @ Nr. I remember we used to email each other back - it used to be really fun.
But now someone has stolen my club (The D.A) <outraged face> so i got an earful when i put up a club notice. I miss all my e~buds terribly!!!!!! <sobs>

But @ least i can talk 2 Fi and Jess(!!--Tigger--!!) on msn


Missing all my e~buddies on NR i luv ya all!!!!!!!!!! <sobs>

If you guys were silver and golden olidies I must have been, erm... ancient history!

Even though I'm too old to use the boards now, I think the way they've changed is really sad for several reasons. I thin kthe moderation is worse, and it seems to take days for messages to go up. It was slow before, but the new system seems to make it worse. I use the fivelive boards, and they're pretty quick in comparison. And how do you guys find not having email reponse? Also, it's too rigid - you have to leave on yor 16th birthday now, because it's logged int othe system. I think that encourages peopel to lie about their date of birth, and that can't be a bad thing. I never lied about my age on the old boards, I just didn't tell anyone that my birthday happened to be in October, and led them to believe it was late August so I could stay for as long as possible. When people asked my age I simply didn't answer, and I respected my ability to do that because i thoguht it was unfair that people who were in the same school year as me could a) stay for longer, and b) wait unti lteh leavers party and get freebies. I wanted to wait for my freebies too, lol (which, btw, were pretty good!)!

What do you guys think?

[musikitamanga]

Well, for the jamboree I got the costume, a pencil case and some pens.

When I left I got a Nr mug, a Nr bag, a letter from the mods and the autographs of all the presenters.
