First of all, whether you are immigrating from Soap Central, Lanteland, any other General Hospital discussion group - or just visiting - WELCOME. My purpose in starting this board is to give General Hospital fans a forum from which they can freely discuss the program. The discussion can be positive, negative, constructive, destructive - WHATEVER. I am the administrator and thus reserve the right to delete any post or ban any member for any reason personal or public to me. Having said that, I am a believer in letting the conversation flow freely - meaning that I am not going to interfere in conversations here unless I have something to say - or the discussion gets out of hand (I am open to appeal on these matters). If you posted with me as Tenaciousghfan at Soap Central, you understand that I am going to allow you to state your opinion or defend your said opinion as you deem fit. The only guidelines that I ask you to respect are the following:
1. No excessive profanity (I particularly don't like the "F" word - but if you feel you must use it please use it sparingly..). 2. No excessive bashing/ ad hominems of fellow posters (I understand that if a conversation gets heated, words will fly, but - remember - no one ever won an argument through name calling. Try to make your remarks constructive and provide valid and factual arguments to support your position). Character or actor bashing is permitted - within reason. Your personal opinion is your personal opinion. Try to introduce your thoughts as "In my opinion..."
Please remember that I, your humble hostess, am the arbitrator of when the profanity or the bashing gets excessive.
Let the discussion begin!

When the discussions get too heated and/or ugly I will simply bow out gracefully. As I've learned not to engage with the baiters, etc.

Thanks for starting this board! I am using the same name I use at SOC, in case anyone is wondering who I am.

I'm weareclouds at SOC.
I used to watch all three ABC soaps until AMC (which was my fave) and OLTL got killed.
I'm the one with the Tad Martin avatar and would like to start using that over here. Even though he wasn't on GH and would never wish MEK to be on there so RC could just destroy his character.
SOC has been my soap home along with SON (Which gives posters the right to state their opinions freely as well as this board will) for almost 5 years.
But, I am getting fed up for my posts being deleted on SOC because of an opinion that isn't even rude. I stay anything the mods don't agree with on the GH and Y&R board and click goes their delete button.
Robin, thanks so much for making us a new place.
Also, are we going to have an off-topic board as well. Like something were we can talk about random stuff like music/tv/movies/our home lives/etc? That would be a very nice idea because then we could get to know each other more. Unlike over at SOC.

That's so not right. They (the OLTL'ers) probably should unless it's relevant to the day's GH. Like Todd/Carly together, etc. Otherwise. Yeah, they need to stay over there. I'm an OLTL fan. But, I was a GH fan first, and an AMC fan as well. And, I still post on both the OLTL and GH boards depending on which one is relevant at the time. Them banning you for that is absolutely uncalled for. But, you got the upper hand now. Just seems to me like SOC is in need of new mods. Big time.
