MelineB13
Wow! We got our own subforum back. Thanks guys.

I guess I'll start this off with a brief (re)introduction....

Hi I'm Meline and I'm a Friendsaholic. You'll most likely find me in the trivia thread. I can't wait to kill all kinds of time when I should be working with you fine folks.
guinevere34
Hey, I'm Guinnevere. No that's not my real name, but never mind that. I'd rather watch 7 hours of Friends reruns that I've already seen multiple times than most of the stuff on TV now, and I'm not ashamed to say so. Other than Friends and Roseanne, I never really got into any other sitcom. No, not even Seinfeld. Meh to Seinfeld.

I also watch AI, ANTM, RW and RWRR Challenge (where I am apparently the most active, much to my own chagrin) and a couple of other shows randomly.
RainIsBeautiful
Hi lovvies! I'm RIB, and I'm the beeyotch behind the rules in the trivia thread. ;) No, I'm not a mod, nor do I have the ambition to be one, but when we started playing trivia, we needed some guidelines, and my inner Monica took over.

I love Friends more than the law should allow -- I own every episode on DVD, several books, and have read nearly every interview with a cast member since the start of the show. See? Obsessive.

You'll probably find me most often in the Scrubs and Iron Chef threads, and I'm sure I'll be peeping in here quite regularly. See y'all soon!
MelineB13
Rain I for one LOVE your rules on the trivia and strive to help you enforce them :)
tamarai
Hi everyone! I may hang out here more often now that we have a shiny new subforum!

I've been intermittent otherwise. I can also be found in various other sitcom threads (especially "My Name is Earl" and "How I Met Your Mother"), "Lost," "Veronica Mars," and "Amazing Race." I lurk a lot more than I post.

ETA: This post made me a Fanatic, people! How apropos.
Morning Angel
We got the subforum back? Sweeeet.

I'm Morning Angel. Friends started when I was about 16 so I feel like I grew up with the show. It will always have a special place for me. I own the 10 seasons on DVD, and it's still my guilty pleasure to watch them over and over again.

I usually hang out in the Colbert Report and The Daily Show threads but come September, I think I'll also be in the Studio 60 on The Sunset Trip forums. ;) I couldn't be happier to see Matthew Perry back on TV!
Crazyrach
Hello, I'm Crazyrach because my name is Rachel, and I'm crazy. I'm only 19, but I've been watching Friends forever. I even have the first soundtrack on casette tape!

I have most of the DVDs, but I also have every single episode of the show on tape because before the days of tv on DVD, I wanted to be able to watch any episode whenever I wanted to. Thanks to reruns and my Monica Geller system of organization, I was able to meet my goal.

You can find me in the Arrested Development, Gilmore Girls or Lost forums ocassionally, and I also watch Veronica Mars, American Idol, and Project Runway, and I have been known to lurk in a few forums around here.

I'm really excited that the Friends subforum is back, because it was, is, and will be my favorite tv show ever!
Cutiepie07
Hi All! I'm excited that friends now has it's own subforum. Lots of ways to chat about why we love friends.
Friends is absolutely my favorite sitcom, and I can watch it over and over again. I'm working on collecting the dvd's, right now I only have seasons 4 and 5 but I'm working on getting them all.
On TV now I watch AI, Veronica Mars, and Gilmore Girls, and I try to check out Supernatural every now and then.
You'll find me lurking in the AI, and Veronica Mars forums, and now here! I might just have to start posting more :)
dawsnzchck
Hey everyone, I'm dawsnzchck and I've been a TWOPper fro almost 4 years now.

I'm also getting married next month (eee!) to the perfect guy, he can quote Friends at the drop of a hat.

And I'm in Dallas in case anyone was wondering.

You can also find me on the TAR board, the West Wing board and the Firefly board.
Imogen
Hey I'm Imogen, and I cannot wait to waste all my time hanging around this Shiny! New! Subforum!
cinaminsweet281
Yay for a Friends subforum!

Hi everyone! I usually lurked at the trivia thread because I either didn't know the answer, or, if I knew the answer, I couldn't think of a question. I don't have any of the DVDs (yet) because I watch the reruns on TV like 2 or 3 times a day. My favorite character is Ross.

You can also find me mostly in the Veronica Mars forum, but also sometimes at the AI, ANTM, and DH forums. Nice to meet you all!
Miss Daisy
My name is Daisy and I have a problem.

I've posted a few, small, posts on the regular thread but usually couldn't find it and was generally dazed, confused, and disoriented on the trivia thread. Generally, I'm hanging around the Seventh Heaven forums, because that show is a cockroach that will outlive us all.
steph86
Hi, I'm Steph and I'm 19, hence the name steph86. I mostly just lurke because like cinaminsweet281 I either didn't know the answers to trivia or had no question of my own.

I watch Project Runway, Gilmore Girls, America's Next Top Model, and How I Met Your Mother, but usually only lurke in those threads too.
StuckeyGilmore
Hi, I'm Lauren, or StuckeyGilmore, or StuckeyG which is the cool nickname version of my name on here.

I loved the show from the beginning but now I'm in a new phase of it thanks to buying the dvds. I never thought I'd want dvds of a show I can see about 4 times a day every day, but then one of my good friends who never watched the show when it was on got into it in syndication and is now buying all the dvds and got me hooked and so we're totally living in 1996 with the way we are over this show.

Like most people, I love Chandler. However, I also love Joey because he can name all 56 states.
CanadianTac
Hello! My name is Sarah, and as my name states, I. Am. CANADIAN!

Anyways, I'm a whore for Friends. Have all 10 seasons on DVD, as well as the finale DVD, and the Party DVD. Have the trivia book, the finale book, the trivia game, and the apartment game. And I bought every magazine with them on the cover around finale time. Yep. I'm cool. I also obsessively quote Friends, and am in the process of watching all 10 seasons. I'm currently on Season 1, disc 2, but in my defense, school and work keep me pretty busy.

Since Friends is over, the only three shows I really watch obsessively now are Arrested Development (which is also "maeby" over, but Showtime might make me happiest girl on earth), Scrubs, and The Office. Never miss those two, but also watch American Idol, My Name Is Earl, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, That's How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, and Will & Grace, and others sometimes...OK, so I don't let school and work keep me that busy...
fishvb24
Hi. I'm Fishvb24. I'm a friends fanatic, and I'm always lurking around TWOP, but rarely post. I was thinking that we should have a quotes thread. Anyone want to start one? Again, I don't post very often, so I don't really want to start a thread, but I'd love to read the contents of a favorite quotes thread. There are so many good ones on from this show!
enchantress
Hello, I'm enchantress. I use to post a lot (mostly in the Gilmore Girls forum), but in the last year, my posting has decreased considerably. I started coming back to the forums more recently, and you can usually find me somewhere in The West Wing forum. Not only do I watch TWW and GG (and Friends), but also Arrested Development, Grey's Anatomy, House, Lost, and CSI: Original Flava.
sunnysky85
Hey all, I'm sunnysky85-a TWOP'er for a couple of years now. I only post in the Friends, O.C, and Canadian Idol threads (yeah yeah, I know!)

I'm 20 and pretty much grew up with Friends. I don't think I watched the first seasons as they aired (I was only 9 or 10) but watched every Thursday from about 1998 and on. Friends owned Must-See-TV. Now it's nothing. I own all 10 seasons and watch a couple episodes almost every day before going to bed. Since Friends ended, TV just sucks. Seriously. The days of good sitcoms are over.

Favourite characters? I don't know. I love them all and I don't know that the same can be said for other shows. The six Friends just worked together brilliantly- a true ensemble cast. I love watching the Blooper Reels just because they all seem to have so much fun working together.

Favourite Season? I think season 4 and 8 were the strongest.
lulu519
Hi I'm lulu, I'm 24, and I'm a seriously obsessed Friends fan. I own all 10 seasons on dvd, as well as the finale dvd. I was tempted to get those "Best of Friends" dvds, but then I realized that since I actually have all of the seasons on dvd, there's no need to buy that. But the fact that I considered it says it all. I also own the finale book, the trivia book, and the authorized Friends book that came out after the 1st season, as well as the unauthorized book that came out after the 1st season. And I have the trivia boardgame, as well as every single magazine cover the cast was on in the finale season (and the tv guide!).

I've mostly been a lurker on the Friends trivia board because I'm not good at thinking of good questions to ask. So I would just play along to myself to see if I could answer the trivia questions.

I post pretty regularly in the following forums: Arrested Development, Scrubs (yay for another new subforum!), The O.C., and the TV Potluck boards. I also lurk and occassionally post in The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Apprentice, American Idol, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Boston Legal, and Laguna Beach. Yeah, I watch way too much television.

Now that Friends has its own subforum, I'll be posting here a lot more. I'll be wasting way too many hours at work on this site!
amikaro
Hi, I'm Anna, I'm from Switzerland and i hate hate hate the german synchronization of Friends. That's why I didn't get into the show until about five, six years ago when I first saw an eppy in English, loved it and caught up on all the seasons. Since then I'm a walking Friends-quotes-encyclopedia *g*.

I'm often in the Friends Quiz/Trivia-thread (mostly lurking, sometimes posting) and I'm also a lurker on the Grey's Anatomy board.
consterno
Hi fine TWoP folks. I mainly lurk around on the Friends forum (give it up for the new subforum!) when I'm not obsessively posting crap on the ANTM or Full House boards. Yeah, I said Full House.

I've come here to get the answer to a question that is driving me bananas and that, I can safely say, is making this forum really painful for me to read. WHAT IS "TOW"??!!? Please, for the love of all that is good, someone tell me what it means. It's in every second post, and I can't concentrate on anything else after I see it mentioned because I get angry that I don't know what it is, and want to smash things and uhhhhhh... yeees.
guppiechic
TOW=The one with/where

All the eps begin that way, so it is just easier.
consterno
That makes all too much sense. You know, it's funny how each board has its own slang. Anyways, thanks for that. It will make my lurking a lot more fun!
guppiechic
Hey, you're welcome. I am way too familiar with trying to figure out abbreviations out on my own, it drives me crazy too.

And, I suppose that I should introduce myself now! My name is Danielle. I usually can be found lurking and occassionally posting in the Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Daily Show, or Scrubs threads. Oh, and the Katie Holmes thread of Dawson's Creek-what a trainwreck! I also watch ANTM, but do not post there. I love The Office, but I think that I have enough to keep me busy with already, so I won't be going there!

I own all of the seasons of Friends on DVD, and even bought that cheesy package of "TOW all the Parties" before the final ep aired. My husband and I frequently talk in Friends or Scrubs-isms, yes we are that lame!

Very awesome about the subforums. I did not visit the Friends thread before, but I am quickly becoming a regular here!
RainIsBeautiful
StuckeyG, we have the same name! I think you're the first I've found here, and I've been around since '02. :D

My ex-step-cousin is borrowing my S10 DVDs right now, and I went over last night to see a couple of episodes. I left after an episode and a half because I HATE THIS SEASON SO MUCH!!! Seriously! HATE. The only reason I bought it is to round out the collection. :/

I must say I liked S9 & S10 more when viewing them on DVDs than I had initially. I was getting so frustrated with the show when those seasons initially aired (the Joey/Rachel pairing was one of the main reasons) that I had even missed new episodes, and I didn't care. Clearly, S9 & 10 really pale in comparison to earlier seasons but I guess that now that I know how it ends, I can enjoy the shows for what they are.
chunkyrice13
Hi all. The handle is chunkyrice13, back in reality I’m Aurora. But, no, I have never dated Chandler. I also lack the multiple boyfriends. I started watching Friends in syndication when I was like 11, because my Fox affiliate showed it between episodes of the Simpsons. After I caught up I started watching it for real around Vegas. It was one of the first “adult” shows I watched, and it’s definitely the way I picked up a lot of stuff about sex and relationships.

Currently I watch House, Veronica Mars, Monk, West Wing, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, and How I Met Your Mother. I use any opportunity to tell people about that last one, which I think is the best heir to the Friends ensemble sitcom throne we’ve got at the moment.
chickflick
enchantress! I remember you from the GG forums! So nice to see you here.

I'm chickflick, I've been a Twopper forever. Most recently, you can find me on the Gilmore Girls forums, though I've been mostly lurking lately. I'm so glad we got our Friends forums back. I don't think I will ever stop loving this show.

My current TV obsession is Grey's Anatomy, which is quickly beating out Gilmore Girls for the spot of "chickflick's favorite show."
BlackCorduroy
I figure this is a good place to ask: If we started a "Favorite Moments" thread, what would be a good name?
dawsnzchck
"Best of Friends"? Maybe even just "Best Friends"?
hny312
Hi everyone! I am mainly a lurker, but when I saw that Friends had its own subforum, I knew that I would probably end up posting more. I think Friends is the best sitcom, and I've tried to find new ones since it left the air, but nothing can compare. I do, however, watch too many shows, and since I've actually gotten some kind of a life recently, I'm not able to watch the shows when they actually air. So, I can't post in any forum, because by the time I watch the show, too much has been posted for me to read. So, this forum is perfect for me.

Some of my favorite shows are Lost, Alias, Gilmore Girls, ANTM, American Idol, and Real World.
Morning Angel
We get a treat from Glark. I am so getting this t-shirt.
amikaro
I don't know if it belongs in this thread, but I have a question: I've tried twice now to open a new episode thread for TO In Vegas, but apparently I'm too stupid or the forum-script didn't like that episode or I don't know. Anyway, could someone maybe take pity on me and tell me what I did wrong or just open that thread for me? Pretty please?

(Here's what I did: I clicked on New Topic, then on the link that I wanted to open an episode thread, entered episode number, title and date, wrote something for the first post and then sent it. Would I have had to enter a Topic as well? I figured it just automatically used the episode details as topic?)
Morning Angel
That should have worked, amikaro. I don't know why it didn't. I'll try to create it for you.
amikaro
Thanks a lot, Morning Angel! :-)
Supervixen83
Hey, I'm new to the Friends board. I used to watch the show obsessively and I was a devoted Chandler&Monica shipper. I wrote fanfics and even had a C&M site. Ah, the memories.

While I don't write or read new Friends fics anymore, I sometimes go back to stories written a few years ago. And that's why I think this board needs a fanfiction thread! I know not everybody likes that, but maybe there are some readers/writers here? I'd like to know your opinion and maybe a suggestion for the thread's name? I'll start with two:

The One That Could (Not) Have Been: Friends Fanfiction
Playing Chess on the Frozen Lake: Friends Fanfiction (call me crazy, but I think that one fits! There are some crazy fics out there:))
RainIsBeautiful
I'm not a fan of fic, in general, but I like the first title. :)
cinaminsweet281
Supervixen83, I like the first title as well. I don't see why a fanfic thread can't be started, a lot of the other boards have fic threads. I'm not a huge fan of fic myself (except for Veronica Mars fic), but I'd probably read some Friends fic if I knew where to look for it.
obobrowsky
Okay, so I'm about...a year late on this thread! Haha, but better late than never, right?

My name's Olivia. I'm only 18, so I've only been watching the show for maybe 5 or 6 years. But I'm completely addicted, like the rest of you! I own all 10 seasons on DVD, and the Best of Friends on VHS (that I got when I was 12, I think). And I have the trivia board game. But if I had more money I'd buy everything I could! My friends all make fun of me cause I relate every situation to Friends. You know, they'll be telling a story and I'll say "Oh, that happened to Chandler!" And, you know, I quote the show non-stop. Who doesn't?

I'm pretty new to TWoP, compared to the rest of you--a little less than a year. So I'm gradually discovering all of these threads. I started on the Trivia Thread, which is still my favorite, but I'm trying to branch out.
