Boycott continues

Jeff Schick and the mods at the Howard Stern BB after banning hundreds of screen names, deleting and moving threads, and turning off registration for a few weeks have managed to tame the board down, making the place more fan and celebrity friendly. The fans left are still hanging in there, some with over 15,000 messages, but where are the big names? Now that things have settled down Howard said he would pay a visit Friday night and Robin said she would as well over the weekend but so far they have continued to stay away. Howard made his last post on Sept 7th just a few days before the bannings began on Sept 10 and he hasn't answered a question by a fan in the Ask Howard section since Sept 5th. He does have the most posts of the big 5 with a total of 448. Robin has a total of 29 posts coming in to this weekend making her last on August 7th. Fred Norris has managed 7 messages to the fans, making his last on July 28th just edging out Gary Dellabatte who made his 5th and last message on July 15th. Artie Lange, with the help of Zolar and others who have posted in his name, has 53 to his credit, the last coming on August 15th but he has confessed that he hasn't made a single post by himself. Why do I bring all this up now? Basically I had nothing else to write about. hahaha Seriously, I hope that they all feel more comfortable now and that they all participate on a more regular basis. It's what makes the place stand out over all other boards. Welcome back Howard and company. Jump on in..the water is fine.
