Best Wishes To All


I wanted to come back and start posting, but it seems people are freezing me out. I guess I did something wrong. Whatever it is/was, I apologize for it.

In any event, I'll leave you folks alone, and again apologize for any wrong I may have committed.

I wish all of you and yours the best blessings.

Andy (Apostate)

Andy,

You're not ignored I guess (can't say, as I usually don't post/read much, and can't speak for the others) it's only people not knowing what to post about.

Copy Reborn Again, it can make people post and it has some valid points.

There ain't many active left here, it's a dying board.

I was actually thinking about replying to one of your posts, but decided otherwise, and that wasn't because of you, but because I was too lazy to log in and post, only to be asked why I was posting if I didn't like the present DP (which I don't!, it's an absolute disgrace to the name of DP!).

But opinions against God Gillan, is not allowed by the kids around here, they adore their hero, they adore the ground that he steps upon, and they believe every single word he says.

Best wishes to you, though I guess we disagree on quite some few points.

This post is not against the moderation nor the management of the board.

HI! I still love Gillan, but I guess I'll always play my 1969-1993 DP albums more than any of the other ones.

I'm sorry to hear about this forum, which was at one point a wonderful, mutually respectful (for the most part) barrel of fun.

Well, I still wish everyone the best, and I am very grateful for your response in particular.

Andy, it's a pity if you feel that way. Like MrSnip wrote, people are posting less than in the past. Many people seem to read the board (judging by how many views new topics on some matters still get), but not write. I don't know how things are at other DP message boards.

One thing that might be an explaining factor is that there's not too much happening with DP and related bands. Let's not forget this forum was founded in 2003, when THS ran down their forum, the latter running for years. Many people here have known each other for years and so have discussed the historical stuff over and over so many times. A new album from the band would help, I believe...

Pop in now and then and see if there's anything you want to comment on. Of one thing I'm sure: that you feel people (that includes me of course) are not replying your posts, I can't just see it has nothing to do with you as a person. Again, as implied by MrSnip above, it is certain 'touchy' topics and angles that tend to get a reaction.

I don't know if we are a 'dying board', but I certainly am thankful for the contributions people make here, both news and reviews, as well as opinions people post here.

In any case, I wish you all the best!

And the band will be back on the road soon,
that will hopefully get things moving a bit.

Don't be a stranger, there is still a lot
of people who still pop in, even if they don't speak emoticon

It's funny how perception can differ so much. emoticon

Some people think that this is a Gillan bashing board and you think otherwise.

And I just want free speech (with some limitations of course).

But hell, in the end it's the posters what make the board.

@ Andy,

I wanted to answer to you already yesterday but thought it would be a thing for the admins.

I haven't seen any mistake made by you but am not spending that much time here. In future I'll look out for your posts and try to find an answer.emoticon

@ Niko

our opinions differ really much.
That aren't the posters only who make a good board.
A board is always that good as the admins are able to lead it. Well, when personally insults are free speech you're doing your job correct.
