LOL! I was having trouble thinking up a name, nugget! My last forum was SeasonS and I was thinking of something that would be a follow on from that, but I wasn't happy with any ideas I had. It was around Christmas and I was thinking of people, who are alone and lonely around this time of year.

Suddenly, as I was watching a TV program about the singer, Roy Orbison, the song "Only the Lonely" came on. The narrator explained, that when that song came out, it would not have been considered very non-PC for a male singer to sing about something so emotional. His manager thought differently. The song shot to the top of the charts, making Roy a household name.

Bingo! I had the idea, if this song could make Roy O. famous, why can't we use the same name? Maybe it will bring us success too. So here we are! Only the Lonely, the forum, was born. Hope that answers your question, nugget.
