said simply "We have decided to close the forum until further notice".
Not very enlightening really. I wonder why they've closed it....?
Maybe someone did something naughty yesterday. I didn't check until later that evening, and it was already closed :/

Didn't notice anything naughty on there... just the usual bobbins.
Hmmmmm.

How dare they take away the only thing that makes my sad little life worth living?
So i guess this is 'where it's at' for the time being! Hi, its robobrien, only with a shorter much less confusing name. hehe

Hi Rob!
Nothing like a big padlock to tell us we aren't wanted over in the other place.

She deleted that Roddy Interviews thread aswell...

I think she made a move on roddy and he turned her down, and she didnt take it so good

I reckon it's something to do with the new album. They'll want a nice new squeaky clean message board that won't intimidate all the new middle-management/big mortgage fans they're expecting. One with strict moderators who delete anything which - quelle horreur - might question Idlewild's infallability.

Forum mystery update

Dami, why is the 'New Thread' function disallowed?
~D~
10th October 04, 18:18
Ohh, something dodgy must have been posted :(
What was in that interview thread that you said was deleted? Maybe it was that.
Oh and you should be able to make threads in the idlewild forum, just not in the annoucement forum. Should..

i don't remember there being anything potentially offensive in that interview thread. locking the forum is the most pathetic thing imaginable.
sigh.
i think they're gonna recruit a whole new set of "fans" for their site.
it'll be like that Seinfeld episode..
with eerily similar but extra-bland versions of each of us.

Agreed. I hope that this isn't the way forward because there's nothing worse than a precious rock star. Next step would be the J-Lo style entourage with people employed specifically to offer Roddy sips of Kabbalah water or carry Rod's Shitzu dog.

"Next few months"?! Well it's lucky they don't shut down amazon everytime they update it.
Ruby

It's like getting blood out of a stone. Couldn't they have just put a little message on the board with words to that effect, out of courtesy? Tsk.
It's true that the site does need a bit of sprucing up.
Rolos

*was sad, is now happy*
at least here Dami isn't going to turn all omnipresent dictator on us and delete threads/lock forum/generally cause poster distress...
This could be the start of a wonderful.....thing....

She said in that pm to Alasdair that it was one of lots of changes. Do you think they're planning on getting rid of the board completely because it's a wanker attractor?
And I wanted to post an interpol thread as well *sulks*

I wanted to contribute to the years old 'what songs should idlewild cover' thread, but I've forgotten what I wanted to put in now....
We can always pollute this board with meaninglyess drivel can't we Dami?

Doesn't bother me :)

Roddy's diary has disappeared as well. How did we pollute that?!

they're just pushing the Idlekids into the streets now.

"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do."
Probably not the one you were thinking of, but very true nonetheless.

I think you're thinking of "Hell is other people..."
Manics fans favourite, from 'No Exit'....

hah. jamie who used to post on the board always used to quote that at me. the little thief.
hell is other people was the one i was thinking of. i actually remembered it just after my previous post but i thought it excessive to post twice in a row.
3 o'clock is always 15 minutes too early to watch countdown btw

like V said, before TRP we got the all new 'forum' to replace the board. but the board didn't actually close down until about a week after the new one was in place, giving people time to relocate.
the band hate the forum and I think that that may very well be it.
oh well, bring on idlewilder!

19th October 04, 19:59
Hmm. I not sure whether I can form an opinion on it being shut down. However, it is interesting that they're closing it until the new album... perhaps they're deleting all prior thread records so as not to scare off any aspiring intellectuals who've embraced the new Idlewild image.
I'm getting back to my Yo la Tengo now, at any rate.
