In other news:

 

Are we ready to admit Move is Top3 on Rennie and Thique is an underrated gem? 

 

 

I feel like these things need to be settled before act ii kicks in.

Move when I first listened was bottom 3 of the album for me, now it's top 3

move finally getting the respect it deserves.

I remember a twitter (Forgot which one) correctly predicting Lemonades surprise release. 

That's the thing, when Twitter is right it always tends to be some obscure niche page that doesn't seem to be courting stans. 

 

The issue now is this plethora of "insider" accounts tweeting nothing but fan fiction that have tens of thousands of followers and dizzy stans going back there over and over despite next to nothing ever coming to fruition lol. 

 

I find it so weird. Both the fact that there are really people sitting behind these accounts spending their day making up "tea" AND the fact that people actually believe it lol.

Friday can't come soon enough... I'm ready queen!

Actually, though, they may not have been together for four years. They may have been together longer, because, in a refreshing change of pace from today's blabbermouth celebrities, they do not publicly discuss their relationship. Here's what you have never seen with these two: A reality show where they eat with their hands and discuss bodily functions. Beyoncé kissing Madonna on TV. Beyoncé throwing plates in a hotel in the midst of a drunken crack-up, or having a drunken crack-up. Beyoncé racing into her boyfriend's arms as he's released from jail, or having a boyfriend in jail. Beyoncé and Jay-Z fleeing the police after a shoot-out in a nightclub. There are no drug rumors. No quickie Las Vegas marriage or annulment. No PIMPS UP, HO'S DOWN jackets worn at a wedding-rehearsal dinner. No jumping on sofas during Oprah. Beyoncé—she of the "bootylicious," sexy dances—still manages to wear her success well while maintaining a sense of decorum in a world gone absolutely mad. Beyoncé Knowles is very much a lady. And when was the last time anyone used that word to describe a superstar?

 

 

 

 

See!!!! This is all the way back in 2005.

We still dont have a solution for the inevitable ATRL eclipse this Friday/Saturday

Someone had posted a discord but I forgot who and didnt save the link either 

Merch now available via Spotify, including the vinyls.

The way every fanbase is begging for their faves to be on CC.  Oh Beyoncé the powerful woman that you are.

Especially one fanbase which I won't name, but it's very funny how for years they were saying Bey needed their fave, but oh how the tables have turned

 

If only half of the people who have danced to this song streamed the album upon release, Bey would be platinum the first week.

And its to produce the sequel to the very song they used to "drag" us for a good decade. The jokes truly write themselves

 

Currently streaming Daddy Lessons. Ready for CC.

I never really understood why those boards fell out tbh 

The Beyhive board costed a lot of money and time to keep up. I remember after a year or two, they set up a make-a-donation function asking members to donate, I don't think it was successful. They were two regular Hive members  giving their money and time for it.

MTE!

 

It really was a different time and IMO was objectively way more enjoyable. Essentially like a whole ATRL dedicated to Bey.

 

From the outside looking in, the forums disappearing felt so random and unnecessary. And hella premature too. 

 

Total conjecture, but I kinda get the sense that some of the people working the forums didn't really know how to navigate the advent of social media. Because forums, by comparison, essentially felt like an extra step to access discourse and debate that was already taking place on the social media channels you're already on (Twitter, FB, etc at the time). 

 

IIRC the forums (or at least one of em) started toggling between viewable for all and only viewable for members. Then there was a lot of gatekeeping around tea spilling onto social media (see above), insiders departing etc.

 

For some reason, I think I also recall some of 'the mods moaning about the costs of keeping the forum up. The bigger the forum, the bigger the cost of running it. And I don't remember there being ads (ala what keeps ATRL and similar going).

 

Also, platforms like ATRL, LSA, PJ etc can always thrive because they centralize all the stan bases and are kinda driven by broad, wide-ranging discourse as well as more nuanced stan debates (Base threads).

 

Overal, though, it's a shame because I really think BeyHive Board in particular had the potential to be a mini-ATRL.

I really miss BeyHive it was such a great site to be on! Especially during ST era

How come they are neither on key or on step? 

Bless their soul. 

 

The Beyhive board was good for the tea. 
 

 

Beyoncé's IMDb forum used to be the main hub for all MPG

It was but they were strict af. I remember I got banned for a week because I said IASF had some weak songs or something LOL.

I appreciated the tea that came from the Beyhive board, however, those admins acted real weird. The power dynamics and group think on that board was a turnoff. Also, I don't know if the tea that they provided us ever really served us. I found it better to just be surprised.

Get off Facebook and stop worrying about it 

I was just saying FB stopped being the place to look for GP appraisal for YEARS now. It's an app where oldies go to shout at the sky and Beyonce is a part of that sky 

There was some memory lane rumblings on the TL on Twitter and it completely slipped my mind that Bey was not only in the top 5 for female monthly isteners back then but #9 overall in December 2017 

Let's just say 'Move' had a pretty fitting name.

BeyonceWorld forum during the end of Bday into IASF was the EVENT, sorry if you missed it lol.

 

It's where most of us met and migrated here in 2009 to drag Britney/Rihanna/Ciara stans

 

What a time to be a shitty teenager.
