I remember the same thing you do. There were crazy people on those boards who said the most horrible things. I reported and like to think I had a hand in having a couple of the worst removed, mostly because it got so bad I truly feared for her safety, that's how bad it was. I found myself on Slezak's Idoloonies boards, which were great, with Miguel, Tusk, MAE. I don't even remember what I called myself at the time, but when that got strange, I went to IDF. And now I'm here. The great thing about this forum is there are zero haters, no drama that I've seen, and it's all about Haley Fans who are hoping against hope that this extraordinarily talented and beautiful girl gets her big break that we all know she deserves. This site is all positive energy for the Hales, and that's what she needs.
It was a constant battle on the AI board and NUG & I and a few others held the fort. I got suspended a few times from there because I resisted the haters and tried to put them in their place showing the error in their thinking which you're not allowed to do. You could show all kinds of nasty false hatred toward the contestants but don't dare say a bad word about any other misguided slandering poster or you're gone.
It's a shame I stayed there thru the whole Idol Live Tour cuz I had lots of goodies to share from my 4 tour stops. I finally was wise and rekindled my interest in IDF last September since when I was there promoting Leslie Hunt in season 6. Haleyfans.com now seems to be where I wanna live because these are the people I'd love to party with!!!
