Happy New Year!
I installed a new forum to replace the one that got hacked. I can't use the old forum anymore as it is no longer free. Nice timing there, huh? Curious how a forum that was free of charge for so long started charging $150 per use and suddenly one of my forums is hacked and the other had a virus installed. Oh well...I'll make the new one work...it will just take a little while since I'm not familiar with it.
I got my DVR working with my computer again, so I'll be able to update the Vegas section as well as the S&B video section next month (knock on wood!).
September 9, 2006
Completed the redesign of the Sonny and Brenda Video page.
Added a new hyperfiction story.
Added 5 new videos to Sonny and Brenda site and one new video to Vanessa On Vegas.

Hello! Sonny and Brenda Online is back! I had some technical issues that prevented me from updating the site for awhile, but it should be smoother from now on.
Caption This! is back! It will be monthly issues now instead of weekly. There is a new picture to submit caption suggestions for and the previous suggestions are now available for votes. I omitted the suggestions that had nothing to do with the previous picture.
Vanessa On Vegas has been updated with 8 videos and 24 photos from the March 3rd episode "Coyote Ugly." More episodes will be added in the upcoming days/couple of weeks.

First update of the year! Sorry about the disappearing act...lots of real-life things and prioritizing going on. All is well and the site is back with an update. The Sonny and Brenda part hasn't been updated yet, but will be soon (meaning 1-2 weeks). Caption This will continue on either a monthly or bi-weekly basis.
Huge Vanessa On Vegas update:
If you find any mistakes, please send me an e-mail at heather@sbelievers.com. I'm a little out of practice after 4 months away from using HTML.
Some of you have asked about my adding a portion of the site for myself...I went the easier route and now have a page with MySpace. http://www.myspace.com/heatherc45 is the link for my page. My AIM name is HeatherC45 if anyone spots an error and wants to let me know (my e-mail doesn't always send me everything in the most timely fashion) or if you just want to chat.

Added the video from Maurice's appearance on Oprah to the video section.
Launched VanessaOnVegas.com. All Las Vegas material featuring Vanessa will go on this site. I had two reasons for creating a seperate domain for Vanessa On Vegas: 1) It had become such a huge portion of the site that it made sense. 2) Since it was such a huge portion of the site, a lot of bandwidth was consumed which casued the "Exceeded bandwith limit" error from Monday.

Some of you have contacted me about the Sonny and Brenda message board and the Las Vegas message board. It will be completed sometime this week, I'm just trying to get the graphics to look good. I'm going to make it so that if you have an account at SoapOperaTalk, you can simply use that username for the Sonny and Brenda / Las Vegas boards. This way any stats you collected will carry over to the new board if you joined Soap Opera Talk purely for the Sonny and Brenda forum.
September 23, 2004

September 15, 2004
Apparantly, I shouldn't say things like "The downtime for sbelievers.com is officially over!" Complete jinx. According to the support staff at my web site host, the problem was a domain name server error and it was corrected.
Anyhow, I'm not sure for what reason, but Vanessa's appearance on the Tony Danza Show was either cancelled or postponed. I'm not sure about her appearance on McEnroe, but I will record it anyway just in case. I will post here if a new date is set for any Vanessa appearances.
Added 40 photos and 7 videos from the Las Vegas episode "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" that aired on Monday.

Added 3 photo/video combinations from past Sonny and Brenda scenes.
I also added a suggestion box for poll topics and/or questions just below the poll question. If you have an idea for a poll question or topic, please send it to me. I try to not have the questions have obvious results (ie. "Should Sonny and Brenda reunite?") where the results would be 99-100% for one answer. If I get enough results, I'll update the poll question on a weekly basis instead of a bi-weekly to monthly basis. Thank you!!!
August 24, 2004
Changed the Sonny and Brenda Shop to a more personalized, user friendly version. I didn't like the shopping cart that was provided to me by my web host...too impersonal and difficult to use on either the buyers end and my end. I hope to add 1-2 videos soon (within the next 2 weeks).
