As much as I hate to think it will happen, there is a possibility that they will cancel our show. If that happens, I was curious as to what will happen with the board. This is the first message board I have posted on for a TV show, do they close the board or leave it open for the fans to continue discussions as long as there is still an interest? Also, I have to say I enjoy talking to the majority of you, whether I agree with your opinions or not, and I was wondering what each of you would do if they did cancel the show, will you still visit the board if it is left open, if they close the board would you be willing to find somewhere else to get together to talk everyweek like we do here, or would you just say goodbye and call it a night, so to speak.

I would more than likely continue to visit the boards here. untill they are shut down that is. lets hope we have another season or two before that becomes the issue.
Phanta
It depends. I"d probably visit from time to time until they close it.

I hope to continue writing the Gay 4400 with my peeps EM and IR. If that fails, I hope to continue my private writing in a land far, far away.

But as long as the forum is still around, I'll be here lurking. (And posting. And drinking tomato martinis.)
JordanFan
Guess since I started this thread I should at least say what I would do, I will continue to come here as long as everyone else does, you guys make me laugh so much, how could I not.
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, I will visit here too. The people are nice and the conversation is great.

If I am able to get over the shock of not having a season 5 then I would continue to visit..read and post. If someone has a website for us to go then I would probably check it out too wink.gif

I will also continue to visit this forum, this is the first place I go to after I turn my computer on.
zippylittlerat

wow you turn off your computer? Mine is on 24/7, 365. My son stays up all night and I am on when I am off of work. They only break it gets is if a thunderstorm knocks the power out.

I have been a loyal fan of many shows in my time, but this is the only forum I have ever visited and I have to say that is probably a good thing considering I am addicted. After coming here, reading, and posting the show got even better. I had new ideas about characters and theories and it was great to post my opinion too. If the show gets canceled I will be very sad but I might be even more sad if this message board were not here. I will continue to post as long as it is here. This is also the first place I go as soon as I long on and I couldn't imagine even going anywhere else. I guess I need a life but I like the no life I am leading now and I wouldn't want it to change!!!!

Adorable? No. But exotic? Yes.

What will I do if the show isn't renewed and they close the this board????? Well...it is said that it takes 21 days to break a habit. With that, it will take three weeks to reduce my anxiety of not watching the show. As in what am I going to do tonight? Not sure at this point. Without the forum at least to visit during my mini-vacations of not working on school stuff, that will take longer than three weeks to remove from my truly formed habit of clicking The 4400 link on my computer history. It has turned into an automatic operation. So if the forum is closed....geezzz, I will have to do damage to my computer history I am sure.

All kidding aside, since I joined this crazy world of the 4400 forum, I have so enjoyed the friendships and relationships developed on a personal level. Also, this forum has taught me so many lessons of functioning in the cyberworld because this is the only board that I post to or visit of any level. It is difficult to imagine going to any other forum and finding the nicest bunch of people that come here. Oh my...I gotta stop because I am going to get weepy-eyed just thinking about it. Where's the kleenex? sad.gif If they close this down, hope they give us notice because we will have to have a family gathering here to say goodbye or see ya' later down the road. I am stopping now! sad.gif

I do and its not like I am old I guess to most people I would still be considered a kid, but I do have two kids so its hard for me to think of myself as a kid and a mommy, but there is such a thing.

I love babies but I am so getting over the whines and diaper changes I yearn for the adult relationships I will have with them...although I already know how fast they are growing I am ignoratntly premature on wishing them older.

I felt so much closer to my boys once I could talk to them on my level. I was never a "goo goo gah gah" mother. At 2 they had to clean their own rooms. At 4 I taught them how to make their own breakfast. By 9 they could wash, dry, and iron their clothes and cook at least 5 meals each. I remember a friend saying they never saw 2 and 4 year olds clean their room. I had a rule...whatever toy was on the floor after they went to bed, went in the trash...I did it. I can tell you ...it works, especially if it was a favorite one.

I am a lot like that, I make my 3 year old clean his room all the time I just wish I had conviction in what I was saying I try to be stern and I am but the next day I might give in... I know that is so wrong. I am impressed about the breakfast thing, now I know who to ask for tips....hey I have an idea maybe you could put your top 10 parenting tips on a T-shirt and add it to my order.

I started with instand oatmeal. I showed them how to use a messuring cup and the 2 minute button. It didn't take them long to learn. My youngest son makes the best dutch pancakes....he started making those at 12....omg I beg him to make those. and if you don't want to let them use the mircowave...get platic cereal bowls with lids.. set up the cereal for them at night in the bowl..in the a.m. all they have to do is pour the milk..and buy quarts or 1/2 gallons so they can handle them.
Phanta
on the toy thing....trust me they get over it really fast. They may cry the 1st day ...but with kids it's almost out of sight, out of mind. It's harder on us. We hate to see them cry. I would chant "I am immune to tears, I am immune to tears." LOL it works I swear.

I know what you mean about the harder on us thing....I just barely exnaed the binky with my 3 yr. old beacause I didn't think I could bear him asking me what happened to his binky but I did it and he was over it in two days. I am so thankful my youngest has never liked them.

So now I must go talk to you all later.

If it's up to me this board would remain open indefinitely, otherwise I would at least make sure it doesn't get deleted and remains as an archive.

I don't post much (OK, hardly ever!) but I love coming here and read everyone's posts. I most definitely keep coming back. Let's hope for a season 5, I have no idea what I'd do without our 4400! unsure.gif
Elessar
I don't know what I'd do but if last night was any indication I think I would suffer from severe withdrawel symptoms. I mean last night was Sunday and without the 4400 I didn't know what to do with myself. The look on my face last night was the look of a deer in headlights - completely bewildered. blink.gif If USA does not renew the 4400 and I go crazy, I'm sumitting them my therapy bills. tongue.gif

PS - I think that PJ and EM need to get a room. wink.gif

I needs my 4400...

I need you like a needle needs a vein
like uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs the rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse on the coast
like the father and the son need the holy ghost
I need you......
