How It Started: The Beginning

This community began life quietly, merely a passing comment between three obsessive fans as they congratulated themselves on the creation of the ~~frightening~~ awesome General Hospital events guide known as the Scrubs Alert System (SAS). This comment then grew into the Great Scrubs Clip Re-Watch of 2007, in anticipation of the premiere of the GH spin-off Night Shift (on SoapNet on July 12, 2007 @ 11 PM EST!).

But there were so many other great characters and moments from GH that deserved to be fondly remembered too, and it soon became abundantly clear that this little project could be so much more. One thing led to another, and a community dedicated to re-watching our favorite GH clips and sharing the love was born.

How It Works: The Themes

Each week leading up to the NS premiere, we’ll post a Scrubs-related theme, or link to a specific clip. Then, everyone will proceed to watch, talk, and most likely squee about anything and everything related to that week’s mod post. For more information about posting clips, please see our community guidelines.

After NS premieres, the community is opening up to more general GH-related themes. Each week, we’ll post either a focused, topic-oriented theme, or a broader, idea-oriented theme. Themes might be anything from “The epidemic, February 2006” to “What made you fall in love with your favorite couple?” We’ll either post appropriate clips or leave it open to you to post links to clips that embody your response.

Themes are generally chosen by the mods, but if you have a suggestion, feel free to send it to us! We want this to be a welcoming community, so participation is definitely a good thing.

How It Operates: The Rules

1. While the mods make no secret of which characters we love, we have no intention of making this a limited community or stopping anyone from participating based on character preference. To that end, we will not tolerate any character-bashing.

If someone posts a clip or comment about a character/ship/story you don't like, please refrain from replying. We all have characters we adore who no one else can stand, or storylines we got addicted to that bored other people to tears. Remember that we're all here for fun and for love of this show, and everything should be fine.

2. Clips, posts, and discussions of current GH storylines should be limited to those that stay on-theme, please. This is simply a way to keep the community manageable. Also, please keep long posts behind lj-cuts.

3. Please credit and respect the people who made these clips.

Clips must be properly credited to the person who made them. If you’ve uploaded someone else’s clips to your own account somewhere, please credit the person who made the clip. If the original clipper doesn’t want you to share their clips, please respect their wishes and don’t post it.

4. Provide links to videos; please don’t embed YouTube clips in your posts or comments. Everyone has a different modem speed, and we don’t want to mess up their internet connection.

5. Please put posts and videos containing spoilers behind lj cuts. Spoilers are anything that hasn’t aired in the US yet, or anything that aired up to a week before your post. If you want to post a spoiler in a comment, please write “spoiler” and then leave several lines of space before continuing.

The goal of all this is to create a fun, welcoming place where General Hospital fans from all corners of the fandom can come together and reminisce about the characters and the moments they love. The rules are here to ensure that the most people possible can enjoy everything the community has to offer. So let's share some love and watch some clips!
