It's very sad, the demise of the cooking and baking forum on Skins's island, which Ms. Vanderbilt-Astor, the NJCher primitive, has been so valiantly trying to so hard to revive, but the best she can do is keep it on barely-life-support.
For those who weren't around, there was a time the cooking and baking forum was the fhird-busiest forum on Skins's island, eclipsed only by General Discussion and the Lounge.
It was a buzzing beehive of activity, and many of the Top DUmmies of this year or that year had hung around there.
The best thing that happened there was when Wild Bill, the hippyhubby primitive, compelled his wife, Mrs. Alfred Packer, the hippywife primitive, to leave the group. She was paying more attention to the cooking and baking primitives than she was to her own husband, who tended to be the jealous, possessive sort.
Mrs. Alfred Packer was notorious for her negativity her hate and rancor.
The worst thing that happened there was when dear old sweet Lu, the Lucinda primitive, was named hostess of the forum when DU2 came into being. Dear old sweet Lu seemed so full of promise, but she fell flat almost immediately.
She made it clear that as hostess, she didn't have to do any work. She could just sit on her ass all day long and have the drone primitives do that.
This was preposterous, considering that in real life, all the other cooking and baking primitives had jobs and families to tend to, keeping them busy, while dear old sweet Lu was merely a stay-at-home housewife with no children whose husband worked nights. Meaning of course she had all day to keep the forum going.
Because dear old sweet Lu failed to motivate by example, the drone primitives quit working too. If the boss wasn't going to put out, why should they?
And so now the once-thriving cooking and baking forum's about as active as a nursing home at midnight.
