It's sad to see CAT closing it was my home board after the OFC shutdown personally I like the smaller boards I feel more comfortable posting on them. I enjoyed Bold this morning! That Clay looked gorgeous like that it was funny all the facial expressions he was making while Carrie was talking. Glad to see you here. We are also a small board but great folks!

We may be getting a few new people around here -- another Clay board I follow is closing up shop soon. If you're from that other board -- WELCOME! Hi, I am from that board, been a Clay fan since 2003, hate to see all the boards closing one by one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yay! Welcome clayam and Twilight!! I have a bit of a theory regarding the closing of the boards, but I don't have time to post it now...maybe later tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 A couple of things for the new people: First and foremost -- this is NOT a private board. Let me repeat that: this is NOT a private board. So, there are a few, ahem, things that go on, on a regular basis, that aren't discussed here. HOWEVER, we do have a "Members Only" section (link here, located in the "Welcome" section at the top of the main page) that is where certain other things can be discussed. If you're not sure, contact me and we'll figure it all out. While merrieeee or I usually end up bringing over the Tweets, Facebook posts, and Instagram pictures from Clay to this thread, I also keep an archive of the tweets and emails in the "Fast Forward Clay News" section. AND -- I also even archive those threads, just in case Clay decides to delete things. Yes, I like to archive things. That section also keeps much of the news articles on Clay. One thing your previous board had that we do not -- a way to send out clack. So, if you need clack, contact me and I'll probably share something via Google Drive. The important thing: don't freak out if you're wondering why you're a "car washer!" When this board was established, the admins set up a funny little ranking system, depending on how many posts you have. Keep posting...and eventually you'll be like me *coughpostwhorecough*, and get to "campaign manager!" Here's a listing of the rankings. BTW, if anyone needs help with how to add tweets, FB posts, Instagram posts, or pictures, just ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFforCA Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm another who has responded to ldyjocelyn's post at CAT. I looked up my list of Clay boards (there used to be so many, that I kept a list with passwords so I wouldn't get confused) and sure enough, I'd joined here ages ago. Glad to see so many others from CAT over here. And thanks for the welcome from the regulars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbmifan Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi guys. Read here everyday but do not post much. Was sad to see CAT close. I also read there but life has been busy and have not posted a lot. I enjoyed our weekly chats and we had a lot of us on it. This was my first board I joined and so happy it has survived all these years. I refused to give up on Clay. He has given me so much joy and I have met so many awesome people. I am so hoping that someday he will sing to us again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Glad so many of you are either coming back or registering! I thought of this earlier -- I think one of the reasons why message boards are dying is that there's so many other choices for sharing information. I was talking to my hairstylist a few months ago about message boards, and she had no clue what a message board was! Facebook is her medium. Facebook is a major way for fans to share information anymore, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninna721 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 My first (and for quite awhile), only board was OFC. Facebook, however, is great. There is a relatively new (less than a year) private group on Facebook. It is nonpolitical, relatively nonpersonal, definetely Clay oriented, for pictures, tweets, clack memories, sharing Clay stories (even diverse opinions on his hair!) Sharon has said if any fan is interested, she will add you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea what I message board was until Clay I never really had internet until 2005 I think it was, I remember I was at the book signing for LTS here In Raleigh some how the group that I was with were the front of the line and a lady came up to us with her cell phone and asked us where we were from she said "the Clayboard wants to know" so when I got Internet in 05 that was the first place I searched, joined. Years ago I went on a message board for Kelly Clarkson a couple times. Clay the only that I've ever used a message board for. For other artists I like when I want to see what there up to my first though now is to check there social media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 My first experience with a message board was for the TV show "Ed." Remember it? Clay appeared in its last season! But I was a huge fan of the show befor Clay, and that was how I cut my teeth on message boards. Today, I agree with Twilight, social media is where I get my news. One more thing...you may notice we don't use a whole lot of emoticons around here. Many of us here, in previous boards, never used them because we were supposed to be working! Signatures are great, but I don't think the settings allow for added effects and emoticons. We do allow pictures though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 We do have a few emoties, for special occasions. In case you start to think you've lost your mind, yes, the colors keep changing. I'm done now til next time. New banner courtesy of ldyj!!! ETA: OK, I lied but I'm really finished changing colors now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroy Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Love that picture of Clay with that family ^^^ Also, your banner rocks!! So glad to be welcomed here. I very much dislike the fact that Clay's fan boards are fast becoming fewer and fewer. I'm very happy that this one is still here. I'm pretty sure I joined here a long time ago, but now I'm a new member again. I'll try to post when/if I ever have anything interesting to say. *Waves to everyone* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninna721 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Clay has on shorts. I live in the midwest and am freezing. Is he in NYC, or was this while he waz in NC for Spring Break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm reading that this is in NYC -- Tom's Restaurant is the famous diner featured in Seinfeld. It must be nice in NYC at the moment, as I too noticed the shorts. How funny...and cute too! Meanwhile, where I'm at -- raining cats and dogs, with no let up in sight. It's also 43 degrees, which is not right for the middle of Illinois at almost the first day of May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninna721 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 We had 28° Thursday overnite, with highs being in lower 40s. Had to turn heat back on. My day off, may love my garden, but not when ita's cold and rainy. Saw a few snowflakes last nite. Ick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Don't know about NY, but here in NC I've been running the AC day and night most of the week! I can't believe y'all are still so cold. Welcome to more newbies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I remembered my password. I used to read here all the time. I'll try to post more often. It looks like I need to change my picture...that picture of Clay is probably 8 or nine years old. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
