I'm not a fucking plant or in with them or whatever the fuck. I know THE SAME AMOUNT of information about this as the rest of you do. Nobody here knows anymore than anyone else about what is REALLY going on, so, the few of you who think we do: PLEASE STOP BEING RUDE ABOUT IT-- the rest of you who have NO idea what's going on, just ignore me right now.
I'm tired. I have put an INSANE amount of hours into this message board and into LG15 as a whole. In the past week I have gotten about 14-18 hours of TOTAL.
I would NOT be doing all this if I were IN with them. I'd be sleeping at night. I wouldn't be exhausting ALL of my resources investigating her. I would have declined statements on the Newspapers.
So please just stop giving me shit.
I don't know what else to say. If anyone has any questions ASK me and I will answer them here, because I'm just tired of this.
I made this forum so we could have an organized and moderated place to discuss whats going on with LG15, and a place to have fun, and I think I have achieved those goals, but if for some reason you think that I haven't, please just say something here so I can address it.
For those of you who are too STUBBORN to beleive anything I say-- I CANT PLEASE EVERYONE, but I can try to do what I set out to do and that is what I am going to do.
ARGH

We believe you "Lissa," but the fact that Terryfic and Hyemew mod at both sites means you'll never be truly independent and thus the board will be subject to suspicion.

You believe me, but, you put my name in quotes, and you don't trust me enough to trust the people I have chosen to help me with my forum. Seriously, west.
Most of the people at my forum STILL frequent the other forum-- does that make them untrustworthy, too?
Over ANYTHING I am still the Admin here, and if any of my trusted friends ((YES. Friends. The three people who have tried to get to know me above all other people here)) gives me a reason for me to NOT trust them anymore, I will take action-- but right now there is no need to and I'm sick of catching slack for my decisions which are sound and don't deserve it.
I really can not think clearly right now. I am going to go play a video game with Justin, then go to sleep. Tomorrow, my head will be clear, hopefully, and I can explain better-- but my Scorpio side of the cusp is getting the better of me right now.

West,
I do not mod at the other site and have no desire to (lazy!). However I did suggest Alissa accepted the offer, and she asked what people's opinions were on her doing so.
If you think the other mods are part of some plot why do you not believe me when I say Hye is trustworthy?
A majority of members are registered to the other forum, commenting. By your logic most of the people here are involved in a conspiracy.
You have been politely requested by me to stop backbiting and help us solve this riddle. Get productive and stop trying to stir up the dissent which so plagued the other forum.

thank you for all your work. You ROCK.
and i'd even go so far as to say that you Rock Hard Core.
So don't let those idiots get you down.
west is a pest and keeps dreaming up ways he's relevant. He's kinda a douche.

and you hella cute there so quit with the self-depricating remarks.
Bree is a hottie, you a hottie, stop comparing the real with the fake.
Besides, what makes someone attractive is personality and we've seen that a girl with a great mind attracts more people than a brain-dead model with beauty to spare.
And you've done a hell of a job making this forum and keeping it together. You got a great mind. Keep up the great work. A lot of us lurkers keep coming back b/c of your efforts.
Rock On Alissa Brooke We Salute You

Sorry Temp,
I know you are one hundred percent independent.
Thanks for the "constructive" comments lawrend...
Postscript: Alissa, I put your name in quotes cus the la times says that is not your real name. No harm. No foul.
I could care less what forum members visit, but it is always going to be curious when mods edit on both forums and one on the other forum has lied and still uses the identity of "daniel beast" on myspace.

Alissa is above reproach. Nuff said. West can be a conspiracy buff if he likes, I suppose.

For all we know, West could be a plant meaning to divide us.

West is asking questions. I wish people wouldn't keep denting his karma for doing that. This board is for questions.
edit: ... and also answers obviously ;D

Postscript: Alissa, I put your name in quotes cus the la times says that is not your real name. No harm. No foul. The LA Times is just evidencing a small degree of bamboozlement at the idea of teh Internets and is also injecting some drama. Alissa's name is on one of those news sites, I can't remember which. It's not Bree or Cassie or Daniel or any other name that would tell anyone anything - it's just a name.

Ok, further in defence of West . I find he makes logical points. (don't smite me , pls read on) For example it is bizarro, seemingly, that the same names crop up on all 3 boards, some in admin positions. But the situation contains its own defence: the same names are being used each time. Quite easy to track no? It is of course possible (and it would be v cool) that a 'narrative' is being written featuring the same names over and over (a real ARG). But, if you're not the author, the possibility is unproveable. Not much you can do about it. All you have is the narrative, whether there are many authors, or just a few. It would be simpler on the surface if names on this board were found here exclusively: (you might think) that would better reveal how much in the way of resources LG15 has, for example to do all the web stuff. But I can sorta see that already - not much.

I think west's points, and the concerns of any others on this issue, are developed partly out of not understanding the evolution of the boards. So, I will try to summarize it, for what its worth:
I've registered for the other boards just so I can see what is going on there, just a I monitor the blogs that have regularly opined on LG15 and post on my own blog. (http://milowent.blogspot.com) I didn't ask to be a moderator at lonelygirl15.com because I didn't want to be one. If that lends some more credibility to this forum, fine.
Timeline: 1. Bukanator put up the lonelygirl15.com website around July 16, 2006. It was, no later than July 19, cited as the main proof that LG15 was fake, because the domain was registered on May 12, long before the first videoblog.
2. Bukanator was a terrible admin. He did little moderation and clumsily deleted and moved threads and posts. I was always concerned he was doing this to keep out bad information. For example, on August 21, I started a thread there (and at this point there were maybe 7 threads on the whole board -- the major posters were Terryfic and Hyemew) called "Lonelygirl15 jumps the shark" and linked the Brian Flemming post of the same name. That thread was deleted. I then reposted the information in the new "LG15 in the press" thread. It stayed.
3. Out of disgust with the way the board was handled, John Green and others made a call for a new board just a few days ago. Alissa, who I had not recognized before as a major poster on the LG15 boards, but who was clearly a legitimate fan/sleuth based on her posts, volunteered to start a new board. And so she did. And it was good.
4. Within 24 hours, a mass exodus occurred to this board. Bukanator was sad (for reasons unknown at this point). He begged Terryfic and Alissa to come back and be moderators. Alissa agreed at first, and then reneged when people here complained about what they saw as a conflict of interest. Terryfic stayed, on the theory that having some connection to the old board wasn't a bad idea.
