Hello.
I'm windstar2 on many Clay boards. I became a fan in the Fall of 2003.
I only watched two shows when Clay was on Idol and that was finale night and the next night when the coughwinnercough was announced. But I knew of him, had heard of him. I posted on another message board at the time, totally not Clay related, (a Michelle Kwan/skating board) and some of the members at that board would come in a gush about Clay.
Once I saw him sing and saw who he was ... I was smittened. But, I didn't get involved. I didn't keep up with him except for what a couple of people on that other board would bring to their post there.
I caught Clay on the PTL interview right before MOAM dropped and that was my undoing. I went right to the internet and typed in his name and found The Clayboard. I don't post much there anymore. I post some at CV & OFC but I'm not recognized much.
I use to come to FCA when the pins were a big deal ... or at least to the page where all the pins were listed. I found this board again about three weeks ago when someone PM'd me at TCB and asked if they could post my Pala recap here at FCA. They left a link that led to the main page. I looked around and thought it very well done. Then I saw a link to FCA when the "engagement" post came out. That is when I discovered there was a message board attached. LOL!
Didn't Quiana say once that she loved this board?
I'm not quick with the wit or funny in any way, but I love reading it ... I "get it" and I appreciate it. And that is what I have seen here that attracts me. So, I probably won't post much but didn't want to lurk without at least saying hello. So hey.
