So we already have our first three official members:
#1 Olivia
#2 FrankJoeATAC
#3 JoeHardyRocks
Anyone is welcome as long as you like Iola :)
Feel free to discuss Iola or anything Iola-related too!
I don't like her, she was annoying. So was Callie. I was hoping Callie would get shot sooner or later but it never happened
I allways hoped Iola would come back. :'(
Robin, I am starting to think of you as an awesome person, who has some great opinions... Iola should come back.. You are so right!

The only time I saw her as a little annoying/snobbish was in
Dead on Target. Otherwise I think she's alright.

People, I'm LOVING the Iola support!
SUPPORT IOLA!!
PSP...seriously guys...
You should support IOLA!
m yes...you already said that, and it really had no point, that is PSPing
I don't think there's anything to like about her. All we know is she's a slim really good looking girl. Wait, maybe there is something to like about her!
yes, but then again this is a fictional character, not Jessica Simpson

The Hardy Boys are fictional too. But, we still discuss them... So we can discuss another fictional character Iola!
no what I'm saying is you ... never mind
Quote from: Negative Zone on October 20, 2008, 07:31:37 PM

PSP! Nevermind about what. Sometimes I don't know what your trying to say Nzone!
not a psp, I laid down the rules for them, what I was trying to say was, you don't like someone if they are fictional just for being good-looking, at least in my mind, don't do psp alerts if you have no idea what you are talking about
Well with that post I was just going to say I don't know much about her, other then she's good looking, and at the last minute added the extra sentence. Just thought it was kind of funny.
Wow. I guess all the writers suck because we know nothing about her ;)
Anyways, I just chose to like her because if I had to choose a female character to like in the HBs universe (besides Nancy Drew) it would be her. Plus I always found that she seemed decent, and the UBs are actually not doing that bad of a job for her character's personality.
It might have to do with more things, like she kind of reminds me of one of my friends and/or I seem to be drawn to tragedy.
Also, it was said in this thread or another thread, but Iola was only "blown to bits" in the Casefiles. So that leaves the Originals, Digests, UBs, etc. That's a lot of books.
You should be Nancy Drew lover then. I wonder if Iola had another boyfriend other then a Hardy?
Maybe, probably not, though...

Ah, I don't think so, since when Iola was killed she was only about 16, and had been dating Joe for awhile.
Well she could have been killed when she was only 16 so then Joe was what when he was dating her. How does that answer the question about other then hardy? Though?

Is there actually a town called Iola?? That would be cool!
Yeah there is, apparently. In Kansas.
Probably the only place anyone has heard the name outside the Hardy Boys.
Can you look up when the city was created, maybe it was named after the character in the hardy boys.

I don't think so, bozoness, it would have to be a really new city...
I think I read something about it being established in the 1800's and they focused on agriculture (and still do?).
According to wikipedia there are a couple of places in the US named Iola:

I think tom is one of the only people on this forum, who has a very good point. I don't think that I have ever seen him post, anything that did not have value.
Look at that wikipedia article back there, tom has always been this wealth of knowledge. He always answers questions, long answer. I think that it is really good.
I wish there was a town called Hardy. That would be really cool to live in Hardy, then if you were a boy, you could be a hardy boy. Is there a town called Bayport?

The New York one, is that what the hardy boys could be based on.. That brings in an interesting perspective that it could have been created with stuff from that city.
Wouldn't it be cool if Bayport was based on a real town? :D
Many people think the Hardy's hometown is based on Bayport, New York, since Edward Stratemeyer worked and lived out of New York, near Long Island, at the time he created The Hardy Boys.
Which could be true, has anyone on the forum ever visited the town. I will look it up to see if life there is anything like the boys lives!
It is similar to the boys' Bayport, I can tell you that right now.
There should be a Hardy Con. in Bayport NY! 8)
I dunno...that's a long way for me, how bout Iola, Kansas? Or better yet, my backyard!
Come on everybody lets go to Neggy's back yard!
Under the rock?
1. Sorry everyone, this is Iola's Inner Circle. The Hardy Boys' Convention can be discussed elsewhere please.
Okay, I'm kidding. I'm not uptight about off-topic stuff.
2. Neggy seems like "Peggy" and "Nugget" combined. I would refrain from using that "name" because I find it ... I just would refrain.
How about just Nagative Zone? It fits!
How about Peggy-Nugget?
Perfect name!
There should be some kind of showdown between two people and whoever loses has to use a username that the winner chooses for 3 days. That can go for anyone.
what kind of a showdown? a football trivia contest?
I don't know, whatever you want to do. It would have to be something both parties agree on. And I wasn't completely serious, although it would be interesting.
Like the kind in ATAC network war? Or like, something different or.....
Do they have to change their avatar too?
If they do, the winner should have to find them the avatar.
Both the username and avatar would make sense. But I don't know if anyone wants to do this so whatev.
I would do it with someone.
Me vs Joehardyrocks, on hockey trivia... Who wants to ask the questions...
Who was "the Great One?" Whose scoring record did he break? What goalie holds the record for most wins? That's all the hockey trivia I know off hand.
JoeHardyRocks - do you actually want to do hockey trivia?
Anyways, I actually know some of those answers somehow. Then again, I live in Canada.
But if we're doing this, are we posing one question to one member and then another one to the other member? Because what if someone is offline for a couple of days and then one person keeps answering first because they are looking up the answers and responding quicker?
You know, I think I would be good at asking TV trivia. And if not, I can always take some questions from my sister's Scene It TV version.
The great one was Wayne Gretzky...

The Great One is Wayne Gretzky. He broke numerous scoring record, but I think your referring to the all-time scoring record, and that was held by Gordie Howe. Patrick Roy holds the record for most wins. Marty Broader would have broken that record this year, and maybe even Terry Sawchuk's shutout record, if he hadn't been injured.
There ya go SDL. Good job. I really don't know that much hockey trivia.

But anyways, that's good. We could do that or "Captain" something for whoever.

Everyone who wants to participate speak up and also suggest a couple of topics you wouldn't mind doing (if you can).
Then we'll figure out who wants to ask the questions for whatever topic it is.

Just curious though - why not? Don't want to change your name for three days or afraid you'll lose?
Totally kidding :)
I'll participate if the topic is Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey!
I would if the topic was Robin trivia. 8) :P
pure awesomeness contest and I'm in
I might consider Teen Titans trivia.
How did I miss the more recent posts in here?
Anyways, I know you all want to participate with a topic you know a lot about, but there needs to be a subject that two people can agree on so the contest is fair.

Okay, and how would we rate that? Lol.
Just wanted to say, since we have some new members, anyone who is a fan of Iola is welcome to join. :)
Most definitely :)
Count me in!
Great! Just put IIC #4 for your custom signature, and welcome to Iola's Inner Circle! :)
Awesome! Welcome, AussieIola :)
Tooold ya sooo, Oliiiviaaa!
Okkkaaayyy JJJHHHRRR. You have good instincts.
That?s why you?re my right hand. That?s why you?re the #2 to my #1.
Since it's official IIC business, I'm just annoucing that the members now have Prince Caspian-themed avatars and signatures.
Mine is (obviously) High King Peter, The Magnificent.
AussieIola - all of this is completely optional, so no worries :)
ohhh ok then... i havent seen it... :o :(
It's time again for new avatars & signatures for IIC members. Again, this is all optional :)
This time, it's our birth flowers as our avatars and its meaning underneath.
The signature is something spring-related or a Bible verse that is spring-y.
Thanks to FJA & JHR for their ideas and help!
Inspired by Earth Day, IIC members now have earth/environment-related avatars and signatures.
And my username ("Rainbows & Lollipops") may or may not be temporary. It depends on whether I come up with something different.
If anyone wants to comment, I came up with a list of names that I considered:
Rainbow
Sparkles
Kismet
Poppy
Sparrow (it's related to one of my real-life names)
Mustang
BlueDiamond
Were we supposed to change our usernames for Earth Day Olivia?
Oh, no. I've just been wanting to change my own for a little while now.
OK, just checking. :)
Come on, it's not like I'm in charge. And I wouldn't just be like "Hey you! Change your name! Now! To This!"
Lol.
I was just wondering, because I didn't see FJA's PM.
Oh okay.
But just know that any ideas we have would be cleared with each other first :)
The avs/sigs now featured by IIC are about places we like.
BTW, ?kismet? means destiny or fate. The other meaning has something to do with portions(?).
The ?Close your eyes and think of England? - just take the meaning on the surface. The full meaning/origin isn?t that appropriate, but I?ll explain the basics: when you?re going through something difficult, you should just ?close your eyes??. The actual ?difficulty? described from the original document will not be revealed here. Anyways, it's the best phrase I could find relating to England.
And FJA, I?m glad you got the ?Kansas? quote right. Many people don?t. They usually just say: ?We?re not in Kansas anymore?.
When you live there, you have to get it right. ;)
Ah. I see.
lol all i had to do was find a quote :P
anyway the next one should be superheroes! or villians depends on what you want :D
Depends on what Olivia wants. *glances nervously at Olivia*
Just kidding. Sounds good, AussieIola! :)
Sure. I'd just have to figure out what to pick.
Okay, so now our avatars are going to be heroes or villains as suggested by AussieIola, and just to help you decide, here are some defintions of a hero and a villain. :)
?Hero - Sometimes mythic figures, sometimes ordinary people who prevail in extreme circumstances, heroes dramatize a sense of morality, courage and purpose often lacking in our everyday world. Heroes do what is good, just and right; and even though they may be ambiguous or flawed characters, they often sacrifice themselves to show humanity at its best and most humane. I think of a "hero" as a single character, a duo or a team of characters.
?Villain - Characters that movie goers love to hate - and hate to love. Villains are characters whose wickedness of mind, selfishness of character and will to power are sometimes masked by beauty and nobility. Others rage unmasked. Daring the worst to gain the most, the movie villains we remember best can be horrifically evil, merely sleazy or grandiosely funny, but are usually complex, moving and tragic. People usually define a "villain" as a single character, a duo or a team of characters.
So it's still optional, so no pressure to do anything.
She said superheroes, not just heroes.
Fine. So we'll do Superheroes/Villains.
I don't particularly like any superheroes, but...
Just find one that looks cool.
I tried, but I couldn't. I just found a picture of them all.
Hardly all. The photo only covers the JLA. There are no Marvel Super Heros and even if you only wanted DC you still need the Teen Titans, the JSA, the outsiders, and well, all the rest of them.

So I couldn't decide between Alexz Johnson and LIGHTS (Valerie Poxleitner), but then I remembered they both sing the song "Perfect". Anyways, I had to shorten the lyrics in my sig because of space. It should actually go like this:
"I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way
I can't control it, so I go with it
I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world
And boy you know that, I'm not perfect
But I'm perfect for you"
i agree
you should support IOLA
:)
Thanks, Iola 8)
