+lilboo83 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Aww IDF is such a huge part of my history. I literally wouldn't be where I am now without it. So sad to see all those memories lost. But maybe good to see some of the embarrassing stuff go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treefroggiefreak Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I just came back after a few years away, I was 13 or 14 when I first came here. Seeing how compressed it’s become when I’m now 31 and can’t find anything, including a tribute thread to an old IDF member who has passed away is absolutely gutting. That may be the final straw for me never coming back. Rest in piece Gary. I love you, I miss you, and I still think about you every day to this day.

For the record, they didn't purge the thread for Gary out of malice or for being "old news". The entire board had a meltdown in which all record of old posts have been scrubbed by the server.

It wasn't anything intentional. Crazy that I was 14 when I joined, and I'll be 30 in June. I remember you! Hope you are well! <3 Anything and EVERYTHING to do with the summer tours. I loved reading M&G and concert recaps. Hate I didn't get to save mine either! :'( Edited December 5, 2019 by *Laci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'll miss a lot of the O/T subs, like music, movies, politics, and sports. It was neat how you'd meet people in the American or Canadian forums years ago, and as you grew up, found other things you had in common with them, and could still discuss them here. The Redux forum back around '08 Redux Emporium for sure. Can't remember the exact timeframe, but I feel like 2004-2008ish was the heyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countrynineteen Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) SO glad those days are gone. lol :teehee: I'll miss the history of FOX AI. Since the official website changed to ABC Idol and the old boards from there are gone it's history is marked in blog posts really... Seriously though... FOX Idol isn't even on iTunes, DVD... Barely on YouTube. :ermm: :'( I recommend this channel's playlist. Right now he has seasons 1-13 and 17. He is working on 14 right now. https://www.youtube.com/user/abegitu/playli...amp;shelf_id=12 It also has The X Factor UK, The Sing Off, and Britain's Got Talent.
