Hello everyone! gosh it's like a Grey's family reunion here these days! Dino, so good to hear from you! Hafsa, Gloria, hope you had a good weekend. Hope Irish is having a great time in the states!
Florenck, welcome to this thread. I LOVE your posts. You seem very smart and savvy in your writing. Dino is right about why we do what we do. I'll give you alittle more history, in case you or any other newbies are interested.
When IW was fired, there was major upheaval on this whole forum. Everyone was either for or against and it got very heated. This particular thread had a small but staunchly loyal following, and we mourned together the loss of the Burktina relationship. This was our refuge from the haters. Then we discussed what to do about the future of this thread. Some left because they didn't have the heart to post anymore. Some of us were both Burktina and MerDer fans. We talked about whether we should make it just a Cristina thread.
In the end, we decided to continue showing support through our name for Cristina and Burke's relationship, but to just let the thread become whatever we wanted it to be. We were familiar with each other and wanted to go with whatever we felt like discussing. Some days it has been more of an off-topic thread than Grey's thread. Other times it has been mostly a MerDer thread. This season we have all been basking in Cristina's new love and the strength that has been written into her life and storylines. There has only been a handful of us who have stayed on through seasons 4 & 5, but now there are new faces again, which is wonderful.
I've started a new thread with a different name variation, every time we've reached about 200 pages. This is an appropriate time to change the name, since we are nearing that again. I will hash this out with BF, who is one of my BFF's and Cristina's biggest fan, and will get back to you all about it. xxx rose
