I hope everyone can quickly build the Disneyland General section back up to the this site's most popular section and, once again, I'm really, really sorry this happened. Doobie. Owner, LaughingPlace.com PS - On the upside the boards will be faster

Doobie, as a relative newcomer, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the work you put into laughingplace.com--I had all but given up on finding an online Disneyland community that was pleasant until I ran across the message boards here. Thanks!

Originally Posted By Doobie It seems some of the "read" messages have been lost as well. So for some topics it's showing messages as unread even though you have read them. I apologize for that as well. Doobie.

Originally Posted By dlport >>I had all but given up on finding an online Disneyland community that was pleasant until I ran across the message boards here<< I would second that thought. I know many of the posters here are folks who had given up on the old newsgroups such as A.D.D. because they had gotten too nasty and had broken into cliques (that is why I stopped contributing years ago). It is nice to have a venue that while the banter occassionally gets frustrating, is generally not combative.

Originally Posted By Jisdu Thanks for getting the boards back up, Doobie! I would just like to echo some of the other comments posted here. I love posting here, we can all post our opinions here without worrying about starting a flame war. Laughing Place seems like a gathering of old friends, even though many of us will never meet face to face.

Originally Posted By Doobie Thanks everyone for the support. When I realized what had occured, as you can imagine, it was tough (just ask Rebekah). But all the kind words here have really made me feel better. And I will do everything I can to assure this never happens again. Doobie.

Originally Posted By Dzznygrl Doobie, Laughing place is the best! Never doubt that! When something breaks we know you will fix it. and this topic should go in the new back up so you can go back and read it whenever you doubt how great LP is and see how many peoples' lives you've made brighter. Thank you, dzznygrl
