I have a vague recollection of that as well doodle.

I think those and the Old Hands threads were my favorites.

(next to Angry Deer of course)

No, the thread just died a slow death. The COTDs wouldn't or couldn't nominate the next COTD. Shameless spent much time and energy trying to keep it alive.

I remember being so baffled by references to "COTD."

I would love for you to have been a COTD, Reg. Especially if you were chosen on a Friday so you could have had the whole weekend to answer questions.

***sigh***

It sounds terrifying.

[tazber]

Oh no, it was really nice. It fostered a sense of community. Most people asked the same questions to each COTD and they weren't trick or loaded questions.

It was all very friendly. I think the site's too big for it to work now.

For right now, I am going to pretend Reg is Celebrity of the Day because I have been dying to ask him some questions. Por ejemplo:

What do you think of gays in the millinery?

I don't see why it wouldn't work now. It actually might bring about some friendlier relations between posters when you know more about them.

I wasn't around for COTD either. I'm not sure how it would work today. We obviously still have good posters, but then there is also still a lot of crazy. Don't need to mention them by name.

[Jane2]

Posted: 5/31/13 at 12:32pm

That doesn't have anything to do with it. We had crazy posters back then too.

[Marianne2]

Posted: 5/31/13 at 12:35pm

True. I guess I just think certain people like Suestorm would end up ruining it. Though, they haven't been around recently.

Watch out - it is kind of like Beetlejuice.

I don't think there are many people who check here several times a day anymore. Towards the end of CotD there were many people who had completely missed their days and the thing trickled to a stop. At least that's what I remember.

Namo is right. It was dying because everyone had been "it" and folks spent less time here and more on Facebook.

I still remember the final blow was that it was stopped by the mods...but I've been wronger about more important things.

ok, I guess it wouldn't work, Laertes.

[all that jazz]

Posted: 5/31/13 at 1:40pm

I don't know how many active posters were here back in the COTDs days but, I think there is still a sizable group of people who post several times a day, myself included.

[doodlenyc]

"ok, I guess it wouldn't work, Laertes."

Seriously? I'm not sure if that was meant for me as I was only making an opinion, but if you want to start it up again, go ahead. Noone is stopping you. Best of luck.

[Jane2]

Posted: 5/31/13 at 1:57pm

OMG, doodle. what are you talking about?

After reading the comments that it wouldn't work, I gave in to the probability that it wouldn't. My post wasn't directed towards anyone. What a buzz kill.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 5/31/13 at 2:24pm

I guess I assumed since the sentence was directed at Laertes, it was meant for someone specific, if not me then someone else.

I wished you well on carrying on the COTD. No buzz kill there.

[Jane2]

Posted: 5/31/13 at 2:37pm

Oh, the name Laertes. I don't know who Laertes is, but I heard the name mentioned in someone's stand up comedy gig and I got a kick out of it. so, being silly, I've been putting the name in some of my comments.

I hope that calling someone Laertes isn't an insult!

He killed Hamlet.

Oh dear. thanks!

Hamlet was asking for it though.
