There's a big difference between making fun in a reverential way versus just being crude for the sake of being crude and/or seeking to attack or demean just to make the show seem stupid or ridiculous to people. Many of the posts in question have been of this latter type, NOT the Alison Arngrim type. There is room with LHOP to have some good-natured fun, but that can be done in a reverential way. There have actually been some good funny posts like that in the past. But some - especially more recently - have crossed the line into just being mean and/or vulgar and/or obviously trolling. That is what the OP and myself (and surely countless "silent others") have objected to.
What I find really interesting is that even with only 2 weeks left to go, a few posts are SO off-the-charts bad that even imdb feels they need to remove NOW. The post that user Albert_Ingalls (whose posts are almost always vulgar) posted the other day with a whole crude paragraph about just how he wanted to screw (his word) Laura has completely disappeared from the forum. -

That's because, even though the boards are closing, "his" post was completely inappropriate and too vulgar to leave for the remaining time AND the reason it IS happening! And I say to "his" ilk, "THANKS for ruining it for all!"

"Charles did such & so Caroline did 'yadda yadda ' " ,Carrie's mentally unstable , etc." This is

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. -

Ah, the sign of a true "Advanced Troll", other than the incessant name-calling, is the tried-and-true "I'll post my crap under multiple accounts" method. I find it quite interesting "Truthisgood" that you only have 4 posts under your profile, 3 of which are the ones here today and the first one was on a thread on a completely different forum with only 3 replies and one of those replies just happened to be from our very own infamous "Albert_Ingalls" troll. Wow, imagine that! What are the chances?!
Me thinks you might go into withdrawal once your outlet to attack here dries up shortly. I hope you have alternate sites where you can get your "troll" fix because just like a junkie (or Albert in "Home Again") you're gonna need it. Otherwise the withdrawal might be overwhelming. If you can't find Charles to sit with you and hold you down when the tremors come, you might find you need therapy to help you through. But there's freedom on the other side! You don't have to be a troll any longer! This could be your opportunity to embrace that "good Truth" your new username mentions of what you have become and what you could be. Just like Albert in Home Again, YOU "Albert_Ingalls" can go "cold turkey" and experience freedom from your trolling ways! -

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?
