That's just about as much effort as I can expend in life.

Well, ok, that encouraged me to create an account (I've actually lurked here for years).
Serious question: are there any other active tennis boards (WTA focus) apart from tennisforum?

Welcome!  I honestly don't know of any. TennisForum (which I still like, in spite of myself) has sucked up everything. And good for them. I remember when it started after the official WTA forums ended in 2001, and the original founders should be really proud of themselves. It's quite a force. |

I saw your ad, heh. I feel like I've been slacking lately, but it was hard to sustain interest while Rafa was out and Kvitty was sucking hard. I hope for a vacation during AO though, so I'll be back.
Rooting against everyone has been my only joy for a while.

A large variety of IPs rolled in right after I posted that too. They should join and talk! I don't care if you're fake posters or Hurley stalkers.

Brinyi lives less than an hour away from me. I wish we'd met once or something.

(technically, for dramatic purpose) I think Rebecca and I are currently within a 2 hr drive.  This is making me look like a misanthrope. Also, welcome mireille! |

Fatbecca met like my entire family. It wasn't too awkward. Just kidding! It was.

If only Rebecca had married into your family. I guess there's still time/opportunity.

I have never noticed a Games thread before, but now 2 empty ones are cracking me up for some reason.

Hi Mireille!
Rebecca is the only one of you lot I've met in person.
TennisForum is better than it was when I quit it but it would be just too weird to start posting there again, it would be like life regression.

Also, let's wait for the season to actually begin in earnest before reading the board's last rites...

No, I know we'll have plenty of posts during Slams. But shit was a mess today. Broken toys everywhere. Nobody's fault, I just thought I'd beat the drum a bit.

I can post draws and stuff if you'd like I don't want this place to die. It's my last tennis board.  |

Post by DBBN on Dec 30, 2012 17:32:44 GMT -5
I mean, yeah, if you see a draw not posted, go for it. But yeah, we should keep yakking, that's mainly the issue. I'm trying to work less so hopefully I'll be here more.  |

I can post draws and stuff if you'd like That would be fantastic. I always look here first for draws. I really miss Brinyi posting entry lists and draws like clockwork. I can keep doing some, too. |

This place really should not die!
I haven't posted much lately either, but it I feel like I've been getting sick for the last couple of months and now it finally caught up with me and I can barely get out of bed... Great start of the new year, but whatever.
Corswandt abandoned WTAW too, I believe. What's up with him?

Post by janie on Dec 30, 2012 19:46:16 GMT -5
Poor Edna! I hope you feel better soon. Ali will be back before long, too. I don't know about Corswandt, but I'd be shocked if he really quit TF, where he is treated like a king. Even if he doesn't come back to this board, we can always c/p his best TF posts here. I don't think I could stand being forced to get my tennis fix from Twitter. I don't really like Twitter and I Unfollow people the minute they bug me, even if they're fountains of tennis info. And going back to Teen Forum as much as I come here would be beyond intolerable. |

Ads? What, where? Point me in the right direction. Thanks for doing stuff!
I no longer really do anything in regards to maintenance here, nor have I since forever. Thanks to Burley and Brinyi for keeping that going. And thanks in future to anybody else that wants to!

I am not worried about this place totally dying. I mean, it's been going on more than ten years without any of us trying too hard to continue to make that happen, so... I think we're good. Still, new members welcome, the more the better.
