Fatmo you have every right to continue posting just for the sake of post and if thats what you like... please... continue. I was just thinking I might not be the only one the gets worked up seeing a hot big name celeb, click on the post only to see "didn't she look nice back then" or "I think her hiar is 1/4 inch shorter?" But hey... each to his own. Maybe you could start each new post with something like "News Flash" if it's a traditional type post or "SOFS" if its the same ole stuff you like to post?

Well, Hal, we are all just having fun here. If somebody gets fun from posting a lot, what's wrong with that? It tends to go in cycles anyway. Someone will post a lot for a while and then hardly post again for the next few months. As for the board not being visited by the news posters (and this being the reason for the lack of news) I am doubtful. Getty images and Wire Image are always the first sources of hair news--and we cover them pretty well.
I suppose it depends what you call news. For me, news could be Halle Berry changing the shade of color she has, questioning whether Gwyneth Paltrow has extensions or not, or discovering a couple of interesting hair celebrities from another country. I accept that this might not be news for those who believe that only a drastic change from long to short is "news". Anyway, as I said before, we are all here and posting because we like to talk about hair: there is no other reason.
Due to the new direction of this board many of the "news" posters longer visit thus less breaking news. Maybe a board for those who like to post lol, yeah, and thanks would be in order. We could call it the "I love to see my name on the net board" or the "How many times can I post in a day"?
A quick look at Fatmo's post:
Haley: 8/21 posts - by fatmo
Sabrina: 4/6 posts - by fatmo
Gwyneth: 8/21 posts - by fatmo
Federica: 7/16 posts - by fatmo
Sofia: 6/8 posts - by fatmo
Shakira: 8/32 posts - by fatmo
Can't you go blind posting to yourself?

Thanks for the great photos, Vicky. I agree that news is best. But when there isn't any we TALK hair. How many of your posts, Kramer, would constitute real NEWS?
Thanks for the last three photos. Interesting that
she hasn't been a Maxim girl since the short haircut.
Maxim asked Jaime Presley to be on the cover right before she
cut her hair short the first time. When they found out she cut it, they
asked her to wear extensions. Maxim had never had a short
haired Maxim Girl. Jaime didn't wear extensions and looked very sexy
in the shoot.

And I certainly agree with Hal and many of the others. It's NEWS that made this board a success. It's not...
Fatmoo: Hey, look at this girl's hair.
Mike: Yeah, I like it.
Fatmoo: Me, too.
Mike: Cool.

I have been thinking about what you said for the past year... I used to check this board several times a day... Now about once a week. I never would have guessed I would miss Gord.
Change is good for the soul and fun to talk about!

People who like to see new and interesting styles can count on Samaire.
She won't stick with the same style for long. I don't like the platinum on
her and the picture doesn't look attractive, but she's gone ultra-short
before and pulled it off very well.
Hal, thanks for saying what I've been thinking for months now.
She's smokin'. Always has been, still is, always will be. Long, short,
or in between. But I'll take the shorter stuff anyday. It's definitely
been something that has helped her career. Obviously there's no
scientific way of proving it, but I doubt she'd have the same level of
fame if she still had the old long hair.

It doesn't look like the same person when she had long hair. Not a very
pretty look for her. The best hair is the one she has on the "OC" ...
Thats what I think anyway..
And on the other subject, if someone doesn't find a topic interesting
there is always the possibility of chosing if one wants to comment
it...
I agree with Fatmoogas, this board is called celebrity hair talk, and I
asumed that everything that is related to that is a possible subject
for a topic?
But I am farely new here...

Being that I am pretty new to the board I am going to stay away from the converstation of "what the board use to be like", I think everybody should be happy that their is this great board in the first place for all us hair obsessed people to go and talk when the people around us get sick of us talking about hair and go for the reason why this topic was started.
I don't like this new cut or color. I liked it better in "The O.C" although I have never seen a episode just pictures. She could also do a lot more styles with that cut:
There really just hasn't been any news of note. Its been a bummer to see how generic people are going lately. Extensions galore and not a whole lot of interest.

Well, they have changed it enough to keep this board going just fine for at least the last 5 years that I've been visiting it. In past, rather than just dig up something or just post a "yeah, I agree" or "LOL" we didn't post... oh well maybe the newer users like this new way... time will tell.
Almost makes you miss Conan, eh?
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

I think it's very good to "dig up" something. After all, the title of this board is "Celebrity Hair Talk" and not "Celebrity Hair News"--though I'm sure we cover any breaking celebrity hair news that comes along.
Can't make something happen once or twice a day if there isn't any news. Doubt that the female species changed their hair habits drastically in the last few months or years.

Thats what this board USE to be about, celebrities and the changes they make to their hair. Now it's, seems to be more about what one or two posters think about some pic one of the dug up on the net.
Have to agree with Hal. Conversations about some arbitrary picture with exactly zero news value are seriously boring. I'm kinda missing the old days when most threads on this board used to be about celebritity hair *news*.
As for Samaire Armstrong: I like the short hair. Looks better than anything she had over the last couple of months or even years.
