Shipper sites were into the spoilers big time. So, if you wanted to move away from them -- that was it for the shippy sites. I moved away from BC&S for the same reasons.
I knew about a lot of the boards by April 2002 - because people kept asking to repost a meta I wrote to them. So I'd go and check them out. There were a lot of Spike boards...I think more Spike boards that Willow boards or any other character for that matter.
At one point I was jumping between about five different posting boards, until I finally gave up and focused solely on ATPO. (I was like a kid in a candy store -- it had been so hard to find a board, then voila, there it was.)
