While we're at that, i would also like to send a BIG THANK you to Dianne, for keeping this site so friendly and welcoming to everyone. I'm sure the reason we're all here is - besides Gerard- the camaraderie and the companionship. Colin Firth has stated one about himself and his devoted fans: " I pretty much feel like a second league team whose fans follow not because of the championship yet for the fun of being together." The man was so damn right!

and that's just another reason to love Colin Firth, as if we needed one. I'm also glad that this was the first GB site I stumbled upon. I am a member of the other 2 but I pretty much never go on there.

That is a perfect thing that Colin Firth said and so true. Isn't the reason we are here actually for some camaraderie and the companionship. Gerry is the frosting on the cupcake and what attractive cupcakes they are.
I think I'll lick the frosting off mine before I eat it.

I made an account there when i was strike by the "COLIN FIRTH VIRUS" or "The Austenites disease". In boards concerning Colin Firth, Pride and Prejudice and the likes, things are pretty civil and kind - never being over the top. When i saw PSILY, I rush into that board to found out about who Gerard Butler was. The more i discovered about the man, the more i was participating in the threads, especially in GB and POTO. It took quite a time for me to realise there were certain persons forming sort of a private "club" who were attacked every single newbie who was unfortunate enough to: 1)Ask naive questions 2)Not being a native English speaker 3)Not being aware of the IMDb navigation. P.E: "You, idiot asking stupid questions, go to the FAQ thread, you moron!" Sort of this. Plus, there were attacking and insulting GB, under the pretense "Oh, we are fans, yet we have our own opinion, too, and we speak it up!" Everything the poor man was doing, either walking down the street, or talking to the paparazzis or plainly eating at a restaurant in public, was a cause for EVIL remarks. Speaking about malicious EMPIRE, here ! To be fair, the same malicious mood i found also in Jennifer Aniston's / A. Jolie's sites on IMDb. I frequent in Gerard's and POTO's board for a while, realise that the afore mentioned situation wasn't the exception but the rule, and so i left.... Now i'm visiting the site only to find certain infos and credits about movies.... I'm an admin at an Alan Rickman site and I heard all about the vipers on IMDB. I have an account there, but it was only so I could try and fix an error on someone's page (they listed David Borenaz as being born in 1969 and I knew for a fact that he was born in 1971) and I posted a thank you to someone who posted when "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" was coming out soon on DVD (this was an Alan Rickman movie over two years ago). Now, I only use it to find out info on movies and TV shows. I think it would be difficult for IMDB to monitor the message boards because there are so many and how do you keep track of ALL of that unless that is your full-time job to do. Yikes! I wouldn't want that task. It's too bad these vipers are giving IMDB messaging such a bad rap. I know, if it were me, I wouldn't be spending my free time dissing actors/actresses I didn't like; I would do something more constructive with my time. These people clearly do not have a life if all their going to do is troll this boards and bad mouth everyone in their sights. Pitiful.

Gerry is the frosting to my cupcake and the whipped cream to my mocha latte This is why we have so much fun here; we have a fun and zany webmistress who created this site to be the anti-IMDB board where you can have fun, joke and enjoy our Gerry obsession. This place is so laid back and I have met so many wonderful people here who I consider my friends and comrades in our Gerry perversion. Who else can I discuss the things I would love to do to this man if I ever got him alone??

IMDB is full of haters but it's the reason I'm here. I saw the post saying "this is my favorite Gerry site" with a link so I am very grateful to IMBD for that.

I am so glad you joined us Queenie. You know when I first found the IMDb Gerry board the people their were so out of hand and the attacks so vicious that it is now fairly closely moderated, but for a time it wasn't moderated at all. Now I notice that their membership has dropped off and the posting is more sluggish. My only therory behind this is the haters have pushed a lot of people from the board and being no one to pick on some of the haters have even disappeared. I also think people liked to watch the board because it was so outrageous but now with the moderation that isn't the case anymore.
