LOL. I'm pretty sure I'm just suffering from withdrawal syptoms, but it gets real lonely here sometimes!!! Anywho, I noticed that lots of people had stopped posting. I mean, where are those regulars who used to post? Like Rain and Cowgirl. I've been reading through some old posts, and they used to post like mad! And when I say 'disappeared' I mean not just from here, but from the MX fandom altogether! Like I used to keep in contact with lornein back in the 'fanfic days', and now she's like gone. I noticed she's a founding member of this site, but she doesn't come on anymore?
Oh, and for those of you who've been on Youtube and like to watch MX vids, you might know zzzclairezzz. I made her join here and she has an account, but she doesn't post much. *Are you reading this, Claire??* Well, her account got suspended and that was a pity. Had some real good vids. Anywho, youtube was the only means by which I had been contacting her. See what I mean when I say like I'm being cut off?? LOL. Okay, I think this post has officially turned into a rant! Oh, and claire wrote some fanfcis too on ff.net. Just thought I'll add that.
And what's with the short supply of fanfics?? More importantly, what's with the short supply of S/B fanfics?? There used to be LOADS!
*sigh* I'm sure I'll get my fix when I meet Vicky next year (3 months to go!). But till then, I think I'll just keep ranting! ;D

Well unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way. Just the way it is.
I love Claire's vids. Its unfortunate that she was suspended from YouTube but I think some of her content violated the terms of service. Shame.

Yeah, she uploaded some Cleopatra 2525 episodes...... *whispers* It was how I got to watch that series! But still, what's a few videos? There are TONS of other people posting up episodes on their accounts too !

Well unfortunately the people that hold the copyright on those videos don't feel that way. At the end of the day its their property being used without their permission. And sure lots of people do it, posting that stuff that is, but that doesn't make it ok. More and more people are getting busted for posting copyrighted stuff, and really, rightfully so since its perfectly available on DVD for the most part.

True. Do you know where I could get the MX vids?? I wanna own them! But the ones on eBay are SO expensive. I thought stuff on eBay was supposed to be cheap! The only Season 3 boxset there is selling for US$200!! The Australian version (which only has Season 1 &2) Sells for less than AU$100 altogether, but doesn't have extra features like commentaries and stuff. I mean, that's the reason you buy DVDs! Would it be cheaper if I bought those in LA? I don't mind about the reions cos I can always play it on my laptop. And if I want to view it in a bigger screen, I could always attach my laptop to my projector.

well the problem as I'm sure you've seen is that you don't have a lot of options outside of say ebay. Because you can't buy something that isn't your region and have it shipped to you from a retailer like Amazon or whatever. Though you won't get the commentaries and other extras you'll have the episodes. There isn't a ton of bonus material really. The only thing you would REALLY miss out on is Vicky's interview in the season 2 set, but you might be able to get that from someone. Of course you can always find someone like weberk86 who is willing to see how they can help you get what you are looking for
