When I discovered the boa...I feel the same way too! When I discovered the board in late 98-99, I was a senior in high school. The board was my go-to resource as well. Now my resources are mainly a few ladies I correspond with regularly - off the boards.<br /><br />I thought it was just perhaps I had tried so many more brands and products in the past years. I no longer find magazines as interesting as I used to.<br /><br />But perhaps the culture has infact changed. I hate those posts like "guess how old I am" or "which celeb do I look like." For magazines, I used to like the creativity in style and beauty for wearable looks and how-to's. Today, it seems mostly filled with advertising, and with so many options and raves, I don't know what to believe/trust.<br /><br />Great commentary - it's good to know someone else feels the same as me. I still use that message board as a resource for product reviews, research, and photo gallery though!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774760402655563074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354122164769596808.post-83451392864695272822010-01-21T21:27:26.675-08:002010-01-21T21:27:26.675-08:00You're right.

That's not to say that there aren't many teens who are thoughtful critics, but the site just seems to have been taken over by the vacuous ones. I've come to much prefer the blogs such as yours.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988920670866521497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354122164769596808.post-6025255341845184072010-01-21T21:08:29.725-08:002010-01-21T21:08:29.725-08:00I feel like I'm in the same boat.

I've been a member since 2006 and I'm a bit ashamed to say that I've only posted one review in the past 9 months, and I used to be all about posting reviews. I always felt like I learned so much from the site in question that I needed to give back a little, but recently I haven't been giving or taking. I skim the boards every now and again, but I rarely find discussions that I care to join anymore; I feel like it's the same brands and products over and over again. It's weirdly comforting to learn that other people feel this way too.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663799132383068253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354122164769596808.post-34806501503968427902010-01-21T18:30:36.261-08:002010-01-21T18:30:36.261-08:00Agreed...I miss the "old days" as well (...Agreed...I miss the "old days" as well (I've been a member only since 2005), and I rarely post anymore. I very rarely read the boards- and when I do, I usually end rolling my eyes. I use it mainly for swapping/product reviews, and I treasure the friends I've made. I will say, I'm enjoying the fashion and pet boards, although I haven't been active in posting.Marleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492498206937006602noreply@blogger.com
