![]() Posts that did not agree with the owner's views tended to disappear, and those who did the posting got banned, too. I cut and pasted it at the UnDIS, because one thing was certain-it'd be deleted (or 'poofed') at the DIS. Then, today, someone registered as a new member at the DIS to question WHY they did it. Well, in a stunning display of brilliance a couple of days ago, the powers that be at the DISboards decided that they'd ban hyperlinks that came from Yuku pages (the UnDIS's host). It was the place to go to get the poop on what dumb thing was going on at the DIS. The DIS would coddle some weird/stupid/crazy people, but the UnDIS would not suffer the fools. I appreciated the candor and honesty on the UnDIS, but wasn't as big a poster as on the DIS. To a NYer like me, it was as real as it could get. When I first got there, instead of talking about 'pixie dust', it was 'pixie poop' and 'freakin fizzies'. Ed can attest that there have been very few days where I didn't spend some of my time on 'the DIS'.Īt some point, I got a link to a site that was dubbed "the UnDIS", a site where you could speak a little more freely. I've met several, had an online baby shower for one, been consoled by them when Mom and Nancy passed and just had a big happy family to talk to about everything and nothing.Īlong the way, the information I gained, the friendships I made and the pixie dust shared was immeasurable. In the five or so years, those women (and a few guys) became my family in the computer. The other CM popped in and said hi-I stuck around. We were invited to come meet up with them on that thread (which wasn't cliquish at all). They'd asked the other CM to take their picture, and we all started talking about the DIS. ![]() Beth and Von were regulars of a 'clique thread' and had chosen our store to meet face to face while Von was visiting Northern Virginia. One day at work, sometime in 2003, a fellow CM and I were working in the store one night when she came to me and excitedly said "Those two ladies are DISers!". The Budget Board was great for information on saving money for those twice a year treks to the House of Mouse. I found the DISabilities board, which made sense for my medical woes and Gameboy's newly diagnosed issues. I started hanging out on the Cast Member board, because DUH, I was a Cast Member. As I'd been pretty active in some other Disney fan sites, I didn't follow her lead for a couple of years. A fellow coworker, when I started working for the Disney Stores, suggested that I join the DISboards. There's Mickey shaped DNA in my body (along with all that weird stuff). I think it's pretty clear that I love Disney.
