I never figured out what the "Flames on the side of my face" thing was all about.

It's from Clue. Madeline Kahn has a speech that she ad-libs where she starts talking about someone and says, "I hated her sooo much, it, it the, it, flame, flames, FLAMES on the side of my face, breathing, breathle...heaving breaths, heaving...." Her delivery is priceless.

Here is the clip.

I think the mutiny refers to this.

Fair enough really. Although I'm guessing that there are enough people out there willing to recap for free (although whether they're up to it is another question) that their powers of negotiation may not be that persuasive.

There is a Fame Audit up on TWOP and there is a discussion going on at BBB that the two sites are merging. Anyone know anything definitive?

[bklynred]

Did anyone notice that FT says it's on hiatus til further notice as of today? Is this connected to the TWOP talk?

It had the same message in early April - I think they just changed the date, for whatever reason.

I was also more of a Hissyfit fan than a Fametracker fan, but I think that’s partly because Wing Chun had become even more harsh as a moderator by the time Fametracker was launched. In the early days, she used to post at Hissyfit a lot; I remember one thread she started about how cute she felt in a new outfit she’d bought; I think the thread was about your favorite outfit or something. Once Mighty Big TV was launched, she basically just posted verbal bitchslaps.

I remember that she wasn't that harsh on Hissyfits, she could be quite reasonable. Hissyfits was more Greecie-like than FameTracker or TwOp ever was, probably because of the scope of subjects was similar to CPMCoG.

Even back in the MBTV days she was still moderating quite moderately. But once MBTV was renamed to TWoP and the explosion of shows and mods happened, she backed off and only popped in to foam at the mouth. Glark stayed peaceful for a longer peroid of time, I guess because of the pixel-challenges.

I was a heavy BTVS poster back then, I even had the first BuffyCon at my house. That was a fun bunch... but we are too!

Oh, but don't you remember Bitch Week at Hissyfit? When Wing Chun would up and ban people for minor grammatical errors, saying something dumb, etc.

She would also ban anyone who dared to disagree with one of her friends, even if the friend was the one being rudest.
