LL Boards.....lol

[rokritr]

Was really bored yesterday and saw a post on the barely alive LL message boards, where someone new to those boards was asking why the Doors "official" message boards were so dead.

And the few people still posting over there are blaming it on the functionality and lack of moderators, or that Jampol isn't posting there anymore, etc. Don't know of any other band forums that rely on a band's so-called manager posting on it, or that the moderation doesn't help people out. Check out the Zeppelin board...alive and vibrant.

The few remaining LL posters are either too new to remember or too stupid to point out the obvious (ie "certain posters who 'knew' Jim" who were so rude, obnoxious and literally delusional that they literally attacked nearly every post or opinion that anyone posted). Anyway, just was funny to see how that board has really gone too hell (and hearing the excuses of many who caused it), while other forums are more than alive and well.

Cheers!

I've been on there since late '03, and that place as gone to total shit. I don't think I've posted on there in months, and before that there was a gap of several years.

I only post to wind up Pat's Radio.

I'm actually surprised I've never had stuff deleted or had the warnings others here have received.

[Silver Forest]

I post little because I prefer to avoid "Patsy jerks" and because the forum is mostly boooring and ignorant.

Anybody who posts anything in any thread he's involved with ends up winding up that imbecile.

Although we have active members here, I still wonder why a lot of good posters overthere haven't come to this forum.
Maybe we should attack the LL with The Freedom Man Forum links.That way the moderators overthere will come here to see how a real messageboard( although outdated) and inform Jeff about it. He then will see that this board is a lot better and then pays me to make this one looks nicer, and will ask me if this one please please can be the official one and Len and I will be the only moderators here and we will all live happy everafter.End of dream.... lol,

[BallroomDays67]

Are you prepared to have members posting things such as how cute Jim's feet were, and how he would have fared as a UFC fighter?

[The Freedom Man]

haha, No those can stay there, I was hoping for more serious fans, like we have here.
There's about 40 to 50 people here to keep the forum going, that is good offcourse, but if you look at it worlswide it isn't much.Don't get me wrong I am very happy with the forum as it is going now and I just paid for thenext year, so we are still sailing

[Buda]

Reaching a bit bigger crowd could certainly help but turning into mega comes with the possibility of losing style. Thanks very much for all your efforts keeping the site alive!

[The Freedom Man]

Yes, true words also.
I was just joking.I like it like this, and want to keep it this way.

For sure, Ed. And with a little bit of LoVE, nothing better!




I am re-reading Einarson's "Forever Changes; The Story of Love", and there seems to be even more revelations and fun tidbits than I remember about Love and Arthur upon my first read. Arthur Lee & Love's influence & effect on the DOORS is immeasurable.

And that's extremely appreciated.

A few months ago I was commenting something about Morrison and a guy/girl(?) came up and told me that Morrison should have spent more of his time thinking about Jesus...

So, the perspective of having some of these people here is interesting if this means a few extra good posters. However, the most likely outcome will mean both Ed and Len gonna have extra work to control some strange creatures.

Perhaps some people don't know but we had Pats Radio here in this forum. If I remember well the guy lasted 2-3 posts before being banned. Very rude. I suppose it will be funny to see if someone can break this record.

For sure. Thanks Ed for this place. A safe and warm place to discuss our favourite bands.

It has been and remains an honor and a privilege to be a part of this Forum. I have learned a lot over the years.

[klaus radiola]

I used to post on the LL long time ago, under the name of "Rock Is Dead". Then they closed it down for some reasons, too many troubles I think. I sometimes come back to see what's going on, if Jef has just announced that BMR will soon release Dallas 70, or New Orleans 70, the complete Matrix tapes, Feast Of Friends, HWY, or whatever. But that never happens.

[avp2029]

That's because Jeff doesn't announce anything anymore.

Ha, I genuinely think you may be correct. Pat's Radio is Jeff's "normal" account so he can say what he really thinks - or it could be his mum such is his love for Jeff

[silentseason]

I seem to remember that jim91m was over at LL not too long ago, still pursuing his Toronto conspiracy theories. I think he has a good home there.

Thanks to Ed and Len for the forum; the quality here is what keeps me coming back.

I tried to go there yesterday and today and it is shut down...I wonder if this is temporary? These women who purport to have known Jim seem to be on a mission to prove themselves. They attack posters who just ask benign questions. Cannot understand why the moderators allow such nonsense.

Yes, this happens periodically with the LL. It's a garbage forum in more ways than one.

[Roughie]

I've finally stopped going there. What's the point really?

[Silver Forest]

Well today it's impossible to acess. That board has so many problems so often.

[The Royal Sperm]

inside problems? i think they are "cleaning" the boards

so, in your theory the LL is now the increasingly hygienic Lint Lizard?

I go over there simply out of curiosity and to see if there is anything new coming along. I recently read on the LL that Tony Funches has written a book and included is his time with Jim as his body guard. That was new information and I will look for his book when it is published. What is so unnerving is that the grand madame of the board (no names mentioned but she is the one who has written extensively about her short time with Jim) is complaining that the board has lost many members and it is basically dead. She is clueless that it is her very attacks that has thrown the board into such shambles and disorder. The people who had interesting ideas and topics have either left or just do not care to post since an attack may be imminent. What is it that sets her off is anyone's guess. She will attack the most benign post and the moderators do not care. As far I can see she has the run of the board and is left to do as she pleases. I really think for some reason the moderators are either frightened of her acid tongue or they simply do not care. She and the other two women have bullied their way through the board for so long that it is now a dying thing longing for extinction. You know, people have routinely asked her about Jim and what he was like and it is usually a rather ambiguous reply on her part. She did write a story about him and there are people who are quite interested. But what the heck....what good does it do when she rides roughshod over the most innocent of posts.
Shoot, this woman is now 70. What a regrettable declaration of her life at this age with so much to prove.
