For those of you who have never heard the
story of how this blog came to be, well, it all started with a Yahoo Group
called, “A New Beginning For Classic Nickelodeon.” That is also the same name
that I have used for my Facebook group(s).
Back somewhere between 2000 and 2005 I was getting
very nostalgic for the programs I grew up watching and in the ‘80’s and
Nickelodeon was a huge part of my life, one of my favorite shows, along with “Fame,”
was, “The Tomorrow People.”
After doing some research I discovered that
there was still a huge community of people out there who, not only remembered
The Tomorrow People, but who still loved them and met with the cast on a fairly
regular basis. I also found out about a TP email group which I joined. Through
that group I met my (then) friend Scott and after many, many phone calls in
which we talked about ‘80’s Nickelodeon we decided to stary a Yahoo Group
called, “A New Beginning For Classic Nickelodeon.”
The group caught on and we ended up with 68
members and it was so much fun. After about a year Scott got busy with his life
and was thinking about closing the group. We talked for a while and I told him
that I didn’t want to close the group, I wanted to keep going so he stepped down
as co-ower and I took over the group full time and he became the head Moderator.
After another year I decided that there had to
be away of gaining a bigger audience and I started looking around for a blog
space and found Blog Spot and I was off to the races. Fast forward to today, Tuesday,
December 15, 2020, today is the day that Yahoo has decided to close their Yahoo
groups. ☹ (Just like they’ve closed everything
else over the years!)
So, after thirteen years and many, many posts
my Yahoo group is now closed and I’m very sad. Yes, I realize that email groups
are old fashioned and that I was the only one still posting to it but still,
that as were I got my start and it’s very sad.
If any of you were ever in that email group,
thank you. And to those of you who have been supporting this blog for any
length of time, thank you. My blog has grown and changed over the years and all
of you have come with me on this amazing journey and I am very grateful.
Much Love to All of You,
Peggy Sue
