"Where would we be without a little love You cannot get by without a little love Everybody needs a little bit o love sometime"~Six Pacs The Getaway People.
Wow I remember this show Young American's like it was yesterday! I had just graduated high school when YA aired. YA was classic! Like a cold drink of water or Coke a Cola on a hot summer day! Cool, refreshing, and oh so good! 20 years later it was a summer we will never forget! Enjoy celebrating this amazing mildstone everyone! 20 years later I am so happy the Young American thread still exhists! All good things must come to an end I guess. I am heartbroken over this news. I have tears in my eyes while writing this. The YA thread was always a port in the storm. You knew it was always there ready to welcome you back with open arms. You were one of the first threads here in Fan Forum history and for that you all must be proud and must celebrate these past 20 years as a great achievement! The friendships that were made and the good times and memories will last a lifetime. This is truly the end of an era but like Wlll once said it is best Because I realized we're not just given life experience. We're given the experience of life. Thank you Young Americans Board for giving Fan Forum life for the past 20 years. I am honored to have always shared the season of summer with you all! "Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?" And I think to myself what a wonderful world"~ Israel Kamakawiwooles __________________

I think you can watch all Young American episodes here on youtube if anyone wants to revive the Summer one last time. Enjoy the Viewing Party!

And so our adventure does NOT end

Happy 20th anniversary, and thanks again for all your work on this board over the years! Your decision to close this board cannot be called premature, given that Fanforum's minimum-posting-volume requirements have required you two to keep this board alive for the past decade by means of non-substantive posts that have dwarfed the number of substantive posts. I pretty much ran out of new things to say about Young Americans about six years ago. Nevertheless, I wish that we had a place to talk about the show that was not subject to posting limits. Last week, YouTube. at the request of Sony Pictures. blocked, for viewers in some countries including the USA, all Young Americans videos on my Rawley Revisited YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/IckyGrub/featured. Sony Pictures seems still not to have released the series commercially in any form -- if they had, I'd buy it and tell people about it instead of posting a French video and English soundtrack version on YouTube. The videos have not been removed, however, and presumably still can be viewed from some countries without a VPN and from any country with a VPN. The show can still be studied on the Rawley Revisited information fan site at http://sites.google.com/site/rawleyrevisited.. Quote:
However, you will hear more about Steve Antin's Young Americans. Much more. Its afterlife has only begun. __________________

What you might consider "non-substantive" has been pretty much life-changing for every other regular poster on this board, myself and Sheida included. When I look back on my seventeen years here, I will not remember why a character made a reference to an author or something trivial like that, I will remember the people here. I will remember when myself, a close friend and my co-mod at the time gave each other nicknames inspired by different Charlie Hunnam characters, and used them for months on end and confused everyone else with it. I will remember the time a regular poster gave birth and her sister posted to let us all know so we could celebrate. I will remember sending copies of Ian's show Tell Me You Love Me to a poster overseas because she hadn't seen it yet. I will remember the way everyone here collectively lost their minds when myself and my Ian co-mod at the time managed to spend an entire day with Ian, hanging out and talking. I will remember the birthday cards and letters I've received and sent all around the world to amazing people that posted here. I will remember the randomness of meeting someone on here who ended up living 20 minutes away from me. I will remember the excitement we all felt whenever one of "our cast" rose up in the world and we got new content to enjoy with them. I will remember live watching projects our cast were in, often in the middle of the night for me because time zones suck. I will remember watching two seasons of a show only to see Mark as a dead body in the background for the majority of it, and Sheida being close to blocking me everywhere because of it. I will remember the happiness former posters felt when they return to see the board still here. I will remember the happiness I felt to see them again and catch up with them, often years after we had last spoken, and yet united by our love for this board, our home on the internet. I feel sorry that you never understood what the board stands for, because in truth, you really are missing out. __________________

Congratulations on this amazing feat of 20 years!
I always seemed to wandered over here after a milestone to praise how long this forum has been around, but this will be the last! Anja and Sheida, you did amazing at this forum. If it wasn't for you two, i don't think this forum would have been around for so long. I hope you two will still come back from time to time! Like I said in your mod's goodbye thread Anja, it's an end of an area here at |
