They should turn it into the Capitol Records Museum, it could be a major tourist attraction in Hollywood.

Didn't work for me, either. 

Best topic ever. Thanks, aeijtzsche! Your posts in this thread should be turned into a webpage of their own.

I blame HAARP.

I completely agree with you about Outside. Absolute brilliance! I was thrilled to hear about another Eno/Bowie collaboration, and it definitely delivered. I'm still holding out hope for parts 2 and 3.

One more thing before I say goodbye to this insane thread for good...

Jon, the fact that you have banned Chuck from your board and yet have the audacity to come here to his board to attack him speaks volumes about your character.

Cowardly, and so not "rock n roll."

The people that are leaving now have probably wanted to leave for a while, in favor of the oh-so-elite new non-Smile-related Smile Shop (hilarious that the name was never changed.) They're using this as an excuse. Ian in particular, he loves to ridicule this place on "The Shop." There has been a lot of anti-Smiley board sentiment on the Shop since its inception, probably stemming from Jon & John's being "pissed" (as Jon has finally admitted) about Chuck's refusal to allow the community here to die or be assimilated into the new non-BB-related "Smile Shop."

What I see happening here (and is evident in Jon's post) is an electronic lynching of Chuck, fueled by past animosities. I have read nothing that I feel is improper action on Chuck's part, and am left instead with a lousy view of Laurie.

For what it's worth, Chuck, you have my full support. What is happening to you is wrong, and people will eventually figure it out. The ones that won't aren't worth worrying about anyway.

Great pic, earcandy!

I love this quote from the article: "Don't fight darkness. Bring the light, and darkness will disappear." So true.

Is it worth searching for?

cough

Fantastic!

Check this out, there is a 25 minute video of Bob (hehe) Fripp recording some Frippertronics to be used as the soundtrack (so to speak) to the upcoming Windows Vista release:

Susan, have you and Chuck been to the PHPbb help forums? Apparently, there are worms out there that are designed to allow people to take control of your board if you are using an older version. That's most likely what happened to the Shut Down board. I'm not sure what happened to the other SS board, since it doesn't seem to have been overtly hacked or defaced, it's just running weird. There are instructions on the PHPbb forums on how to undo the worm problem. Start with this thread, if you haven't already: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=348139

Good luck, and sorry that this happened to you guys.
