Title: Exciting news!
Post by Shannon on May 25th, 2010, 10:54am
Do most of you remember Pat from Ragdoll's World? She shut her board down a couple years ago. Anyway, she contacted me last week asking if I'd like ALL her old stuff including, posters, album flats, necklaces, guitar picks, tapes, etc. I told her yes happily. I already have the posters and she's sending the rest this week. You know what this means? Contests with actual prizes!!!

First up is inventorying what's there. Then Lauren gets to be the lucky first winner to pick her prize for winning this year's banner contest ... for being the ONLY entrant really. �:'(

So start thinking of some cool contests we can have. I was thinking the first one could be something to do with requesting Home. I don't know. Let me know if you have any ideas.

I would like to say a HUGE thanks to Pat (if you happen to lurk) for giving me all your stuff. That was so nice of you.

Yes! That makes me soo happy! I have basically no Goo stuff, because of where I live. It's so damn secluded. I AM SO EXCITED!

As for contests, we should have some sort of creative one.. Perhaps rewrite the lyrics to a goo song? That might get weird. I would suggest trivia, but that is really not fair due to obvious internet reasons.
I will think of more, I am sure haha.

We could see who can do the best John or Robby impression? Haha. I don't know why I would suggest that, because when I try to sound like John it just sounds painful, haha.

How come RagDoll shut down the site? Personal or lost interest? I also wonder when this site would shut down? it's gonna happen sooner or later. I've been here since like 1998...WOW!!! I have no real clue where other goo fan sites are because I find that this is the best, but not as many members as before, but the news is always updated.

when I first started using this site, I did not have a computer. I would walk 30 minutes to a computer lab every day during the summer to use it and to check out this site. This site was the main reason I used the computer back then.

Ragdoll had some health issues that warranted her shutting the site down.

I'm so glad you love it here at the WOG. It was the first site I ever found too. I have no intention of shutting this site down. The only way it will be shut down is if MFC stops supporting it. I'll keep on keeping on as long as I can. If MFC ever shut their boards down, I'd find somewhere else for us all to go. I promise one way or another WOG will be around as long as the Goos are.

This site lost A LOT of members when Eva was sick and her friend nr599 was running the site like a dictator. Many left and never came back. I also think many are on the IM now. But a small community is nice. We tend to be drama free here and I prefer it like that. Also, we can have nice debates and share opinions in an adult manner without being mean or nasty to each other. Our members here are great about that as demonstrated on the other thread about file sharing. It makes me happy to see everyone sharing and debating their ideas but still respecting each other's opinions. That AWESOME!

Yes! Shannon, I am so glad to hear that. I can't bring myself to post at another board as much as I do this one. I've gotten into the habit I guess, it's a good one though :)

Long live WOG? I think so.

This board has blossomed many amazing new friendships for me! I love it & I am so glad it's here, I kinda forget how I found this place...I think I was just searching for something to do & I'm glad I did!

We also need to think of some pretty amazing contests!! I'm pretty sure we can think of something, since we're so amazing  ;D

Ah, I remember Eva. I was a kid back then and remember her warning me or I'll get banned. I've been a goo fan since I was in middle school 14 years a go, and on this site since 12-13 years ago. Goo is the longest thing I'd ever had. I listened to all types of music, but goo always stuck.

If anyone has any really weird trivia that cannot be found online, that would be cool. I don't think I do.. I'll sleep on it.

:ponders: I could make a more obscure tournament than just 'favorite song' and have people bet on the winner, etc.

That would be cool and fun.

I'll do another banner contest for sure. Hopefully, more than just Lauren will enter this time. ;)

Post by sympathy_0 on Jun 3rd, 2010, 2:38pm
I will try to enter. I'm using a different computer and I am not using the software that I had before.. Not that it was that great in the first place, hhaa.

Nicole, Lauren & I have a Goo show in 2 weeks. I'm hoping to brain storm some cool ideas with them. I'm terrible at this and need obvious help ;D. Sorry you have such a lame-o for an administrator :-/ It's like once I had kids and stopped working I went brain dead or something. All creativity has left the building ... lol
