Even Dan Rather's good-bye wasn't this snippy.Well, the fametracker forums are finally closing as they have threatened to for ages. And just like any disfunctional breakup, the end has gotten ugly. In less time than it takes for the paparazzi to follow Britney Spears to the Deli for Cheetos, the sentiment has turned from, "No this can't happen, how can we stop it, I'll never survive" to "Well,

Recently, in a discussion with , she brought up the idea of 'internet-brave', the bad-ass online, who in real life has the balls of a mouse.Occasionally, one hits the dubious jackpot and they are not only cowards, but stupid to boot. On the net one encounters random stupidity that would be funny if these people were characters in a book. Unfortunately, they are all too real.Yesterday, fellow

Annoyed by the recent rash of thread-name changing at FT I went to the FTOTZ Pet Peeves thread to see if anyone had a comment. I had already mentioned before how disconcerting it could be when thread names were changed without warning, and I wanted to see if this mass renaming was noticed and if anyone knew why.A distillation of the conversation in the thread: (Icons used to barely conceal the

You know you've made it in the forum world when other boards devote threads to your boards. From the Vartypants' Vigilantes' Love Lounge (Yeah, I'm amazed Michael Vartan has his own forum too. For the blissfully unaware, he's the bland guy from Never been Kissed and is also on the show Alias. I guess someone's watching after all.): iB::Topic::Everyone say hello to FTers! From the Survivor

Back to my favorite online timewaster, the quiz: You rule. in 15 years, you won't be as known as youare now, but most of the people that will knowyou then will like you (or else I'll beat themwith a stick). You're nice to listen to. What band from the 80s are you? brought to you by Quizilla

If reality TV has taught us anything, there's nothing as entertaining as a good old fashioned bitch fight. As long as it doesn't involve you that is. I mean really, does anybody care all that much about Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff except when they're sayng nasty things about each other?
