In case you don't know, Flyonthwall's passing inspired some people to donate to the TVCH financially. I wasn't comfortable putting this money into my pocket towards regular expenses, so we used it towards the purchase and installation of new discussion board software, which was long overdue. Myself and others committed to getting the new software up and running and customized to look like the TVCH as we knew it. It took a few months, probably longer than it should of but in the end we got a new home, much more stable and bug free than before......all from the memory of one little bug we wouldn't mind having back.

And oh ya, on that note....I'm very pleased everything has been running so smoothly of late! I hope it continues into the summer reality TV blitz! :-)

I started lurking about the time of trying to get the quilt together, but I never have really known who Fly was. Would someone mind telling me about this special person?

Texannie, the best way I can describe Flyonthwall is to say she was everybody's friend on the board. She would encourage shy posters to get out here and begin posting. Encourage people when they were getting a little discouraged. Always quick to welcome new people to the board. And one heck of a live feed poster. I think you will find a lot of the active members these days may have gotten their start by interacting with Flyonthwall. Unfortunately, she passed away last year from complications with some health related issues she never discussed much.

I won't be surprised to see a few more people come in here soon and give their story for you too. I sure would enjoy reading more about her, especially as it's getting so close to Big Brother.

Hope this helps.

my story, i started with bbfanclub. i'd posted a couple of times, but got really blasted about a week after signing up. fly emailed me, said that everyone wasn't like that. we started a nice little email relationship. we'd talk about how our favorite bb people were doing, what was going on with our lives. i had let my screen name disappear. when bb was over, we kept in touch just a little bit. she kept encouraging me to stay with the board. i once went into chat and was basically snubbed. well i didn't feel welcome, but she kept pushing for me to make friends. when the lurker's adoption agency opened up, i could feel her little fingertips on my back, so i signed up. weinermr adopted me. my daddykins <smile>. little by little i opened up. took me a whole year after that by posting a little at a time. when fly left this world, i'd lost one of the dearest friends i'd had, whom i had never met. sharing with other friends of hers helped us all by our stories of how she touched each and every one of us. i will never forget her. she'd be so proud of me for meeting other posters.

Even after she couldn't do live feeds herself, she would post the best and most enthusiastic encouragement for those of us who were doing the posting.. It always lifted my spirits... last year she was gone, but still there in our hearts and here's another season without her.

We will never forget Bobbie, our little fly on the wall and in our hearts

Fly welcomed me to TVCH. She is such a kind person. She guided me through chat during BB when I had trouble getting in. (I could get in, but would get booted about every 3 minutes).

I'll always remember her welcoming me and her warm heart.

Isn't it amazing how some people can touch you in such a special way....through the internet? Fly was a true joy that way.

An angel on earth.

I've been following the activity on this thread for the past few days but I couldn't post because I get a huge lump in my throat and then the tears begin to fall....like now.

Bobbie was indeed an angel on earth and she continues to humble me into being the best person I can be. God Bless you Flyonthewall.

I remember she used to do a lot of the nighttime live feed posting for BB. You could always count on her . Near the end, when with meds et al, she claimed she couldn't always think straight, she would still keep on posting those live feeds if no one else was around to do so. She would just apologize in advance in case her mind got mixed up and it didn't make too much sense. ...but she didn't want those of us without the feeds to miss out.

She was such a special lady.

Oh my, I have not come to the site for a while and now I know why I was drawn to check in today...miss you Ms Fly:-)

Flyonthwall was the best....she would encourage us, fiercely protect us, share with us, listen to us, and love us :-)

Bobbi would round us all up in some fantastic collection of lists and co-lists and then spin around to find the stragglers. She was pure fun!

In private moments she shared her love for The Lord, her husband and family, including her puppies...all while dealing with significant medical challenges.

She left us suddenly, a palpable blow to those who shared so much here with her, until we realized that she has been with us all along.

Ms Fly, a one of a kind and kind to every one:-)

The night the board went down, a fly came into the room and would not leave my monitor.
love to Fly

Cool Pic Pamy! Looks like she was watching over us (or at least you) while the board was down.
