Is this message board replacing TalkinBroadway.com? — Page 2

Back when I tried to sign up, their software for some reason wasn't supporting AOL email addresses.

Never heard of it, I am Strickly a BWWer

This board is better.

Though this board has it's share of unfriendly people. Talkin Broadway, and Musicals.net are much worse -a bunch of bitches.

I used Jalexis as my username and they deemed it offensive. O_o WTF, mate?^^

Anyway, I didn't know you had to be 16...maybe that's why. They just didn't have the guts to tell me I was too young.

I used to lurk at ATC. I posted infrequently. I left that board after the posters attacked a very good friend of mine. It was a vicious, personal attack on my friend. He was only trying to explain what was going on in the life of an actress friend of his. That attack turned me off ATC.

Any claws on this board are wrapped in humor. While ATC, at its height, probably had more industry professionals posting, I feel far more comfortable over here. I do lurk over at the dark side, but I get my theatre fix from BWW.

Why did the boards on Broadway.com shutdown?

I was a regular on ATC for a couple of years before I discovered BWW (by the way, I have AOL and never had a problem). There are some older, incredibly knowledgeable posters over there who can describe in detail things like seeing Brando in Streetcar and all manner of shows from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I remember someone asking about Streisand in Funny Girl once and more than a dozen posters were able to relate fascinating stories about seeing her, Mimi Hines, Lainie Kazan et al..... and comparing and contrasting the strengths of each. Also, you can go over there and ask about some seemingly forgotten show that ran for 3 performances in 1967 and 4 or 5 people can tell you all about it. When it comes to learning about (in detail) Broadway pre-1975, there's probably no better site on the web.

However, it's a VERY SLOW board. While the discussions can be quite interesting (and I still post from time to time) HOURS can pass where virtually nothing new is posted. That seems to never happen on BWW (other than maybe the middle of the night) so this certainly is the much more lively and entertaining board.
