Agreed and more proof that nobody on either side should paint everybody with the same brush

Thank you, I didn't wanna stir things further and I'm glad (I think) that I haven't. Maybe world peace is possible after all.

There are pictures taken over the years of Brian and all the Beach Boys standing around a piano pre/post shows doing the same thing, and they are awesome. Perhaps if that had have happened in 2012..... Cry

I'm just coming out of lurk mode to say that I am filled with dismay at the precarious position these archival releases seem to be in. The idea that the record companies or BRI or whoever might find even digital releases (which are totally fine by me) not worth the expense is heart breaking. All of that overshadows the message board drama, which, to be clear, is not  terribly interesting.

I feel you.  We’ve been blessed with a treasure trove of material and the idea that there’s a possibility of not getting anymore saddens me.  If it comes down to a kickstarter count me in

It's really sad to see, especially after Sunshine Tomorrow seemed to do so well. Alan mentioned to me that him and Mark expected the studio sets a week later but they were just dropped on Spotify immediately with no announcement. I guess the promo budget went to the RPO album this year, but they could at least act like they care. These sets should've and could've gotten the same level of praise if people actually knew about them.

If anything deserves a big Pet Sounds Sessions style boxset though it's Sunflower. So I guess there's hope?

Watamushi stepped down from his admin position on the PS Forum I just want to apologize for any hurtful words I said about Watamushi and Dick Rising’s moderation decisions. Though I still don’t agree with how things were handled there, I also didn’t need to say some things I said.

Any frustration I have regarding this drama is years of irritation about how things were handled from day one of that forum’s existence. That doesn’t excuse what I said about Watamushi and D Rising, but it at least explains the emotions behind what and why I said those things.

The biggest irony is my annoyance of how certain posters over on the PS forum act(ed) when I myself stooped to acting the same way because of this situation.

Watamushi has been such a positive part of this fandom since he arrived at both forums. If he doesn’t retake his admin position I hope he will at least continue to post and share his positivity about this music. I’m sorry again to both moderators, it’s not an easy job and my words certainly didn’t help.

What's very telling to me is they didn't listen to him when he politely asked people at PS, including Nicko1234/ monolithic, to take it to pm's & delete their "support" posts. If Watamushi tells VERY CLEARLY it's HIS fault, is it REALLY difficult to take his word? Nope, it's not you, it's dat evil bunch at SS who made you do it. Riiiiiight.
Look, folks, the *ultimate* decision is Watamushi's, no need to argue with the guy himself saying it's HIS fault.
I admire Watamushi for being noble like that without pointing fingers. Apparently, the others at PS can't accept it. As well as respect it.
The reactions were very predictable.
& rab2591, Watamushi doesn't go ANY where, he didn't say he leaves, he simply steps down as admin & mod. Then what's being sad about? What's the problem?

Whether or not I had any effect on his decision, his resignation made me realize how my words could (and possibly did) impact the actions/feelings of another (especially someone, as AGD put it, thrust head first into a ridiculous situation). If Watamushi said it was his own fault (I don't remember that part) then so be it, but I can still recognize that I didn't need to say a few things that I did.

He did say it. As to the other points, it's possible he could perhaps be affected by some things you or smb. else here said but, the decision is HIS. He could stubbornly still stay being admin, regardless if people feel he didn't prove to be good, could say "It's MY business & I'll be admin NO MATTER WHAT". But, he didn't.

I just tried to log into PSF and the site is down for "maintenance". Twice now, the site has gone down during the middle of a huge fuss. The first was a few days ago when Craig was getting attacked by filldepage and Sheriff John Stone, and now it happens again after a member of the board gets banned. That sure is a funny coincidence.

Jay, not sure if you’re being facetious, but when you go to the PSF site it says “due to a lack of mods the forum will be remain inactive until further notice.” So it definitely had to do with this.

What always amazes me is people constantly connecting dots that aren’t there. It doesn’t make you smart to have a theory. Usually the simple truth is the actual truth.

Yep, it's definitely it regarding things I said. Watamushi said it's HIS fault, then we shouldn't read much into it. If he stepped down, then he stepped down. What's the big deal?

I think the mods were watamushi, Dick Rising, and Niko. Both Niko and watamushi have resigned.
