I just checked the official website and saw that, while the Pheonix casting call had been cancelled, they're still soliciting tapes from those wishing to be on next season. The list of issues they're looking for has also been revised since I last checked their "casting" section. Maybe they've decided to quit having casting calls. And, realize that viewing submitted tapes and doing an in depth investingation is a better way to weed out those just wanting face time on TV.

I wouldn't put any money on that....

The SO website has not been updated very well at all since fall. Some weeks they don't even update the episode guide until the week is almost over. The Life Resources listing and episodes where specialists / special resources were highlighted hasn't been updated in a long time. The last person listed was one of the specialists who came to help Jill find her dad.

Whoever updated it a few weeks ago when Cassie first came to SO3, they had the wrong Cassie listed. Made me think some high school kid has been delegated to the upkeep of the site. What little upkeep that has been done.

Those suggested life stories...have been there for some time.. I don't think they've changed.

Heck they haven't updated any where are they now profiles...all year... and not even 1 SO3 person listed!

Yah....The writing is on the wall... I think!

Know what Sullie? Have been thinkin' the same thing. Putting the amount of time, energy and analysis that now go into watching the show, debriefing on it on the board and thinking about it, into my OWN life and goals, sounds like a plan. The show has been very helpful and on point for me in many ways, but I am thinking that if it ends, then I will have hours of my day back! Maybe it's like Jodi said, I am excited to "leave" and live my life! [Silver lining stuff - I will SOOO miss the show too. :( ]

I am so with you there Valtina!

If I spent half as much time with housework and organizing...(the latter a particular problem area!) as I spend on the show...watching it and the boards... My home would be immaculate!

I've often thought about starting a thread.. What issue would you like to see addressed on SO or what would we want to go in there for.... if we were brave enough to do that!

My issues would be procrastination and organizing!

I will miss the show... and hope to not pick up a substitute habit!

When Jodi was dealing with everyone else's problems instead of her own... I thought of the show and these boards as the same type of thing in my life. It's easy to sit here and observe the issues and comment on them like a Monday morning quarterback... but applying the lessons observed isn't coming quite as quickly for me. But at least I'm getting the food for thought down pat. The procrastination is firmly ingrained!

I have no idea what I am going to what I am going to do. I have been out of touch for the last two weeks because of health problems and that was bad eanough. I might have to actuall get a hobby or something .

Hey Parker!!! LTNS girl! missed ya! I dunno what's going to happen to SOT if SO goes off air... maybe we can all stick around and couch potato psychoanalyze/support each other lol j/k I don't like the thought of losing contact with some good friends I've met through here.. so I'm sure if Tara keeps the site going we'll find something to chat about! Can never have too much of a support system.. and for those that don't have enough at home, this is sort of our lil home away from home Stay in touch!
