Exactly LMD... it gave people more choice than it being in off-topic.
But can I ask a question to musicalpenny?
Is this what stopped you posting on the old board?
I am presuming, since you have such knowledge of it, that you were, what they call, a 'lurker'?
Or perhaps you are a poster who has changed her name?
There was little or no discussion in any of the forums about too much 'Kiefer drooling' so I don't understand how or where you had these conversations, though perhaps they were done in pm... but no-one ever pm'd me about it and I am one of the guilty ones! I think he is a very talented man, but admit I think he's hot too!
But if you take away all those that like to drool occasionally over Kiefer, then who's going to post on the board?
And if no-one posts at all, then the lurkers have nothing to read....
I'm glad to see you posting now and taking part. A board is only as good as those that bother to post on it, after all.
Anywho... that's my thoughts for now...

Kate.. I lurked in the past. I didn't post. I didn't change names when I re-signed up to this board. I simply thought: new board, new administrator, words from Kiefer and Jude passed through new administrator on the subject, might be time to post, might be time to mention why I haven't posted in the past; might be time to mention why I didn't even lurk much in the past. The discussions with people about this occured through PM and elsewhere. I think all of the people who have talked to me about it have left. If not, this would be a good time for them to step up although I doubt anyone would want to create arguments like what happened when two people did post about it in the past... during the early stages of the former board. One had a gibber-something username and the other sorry I can't remember her username although I remember she was a she rather than a he... but both were completely drummed off the former board even though their posts did not seem offensive to me. A friend of mine mentioned this subject to the former administrator through a PM and was actually throw off the board altogether. And before anyone asks... my friend is not a rude person either. What happened to these people has caused people I know on other boards to discuss this situation with me. I know all of these people either asked to have their usernames deleted or stopped posting to the former board. I cannot answer your question about who would post to the board. I suppose it depends on why people post. I assume it would be people interested in the music of RDB, BBP, HH, and LH.
I hope this answers your questions, Kate.

The last board worked fine. It didn't need changing - until some bozo destroyed it.
The old admins were lovely. I vote all the things that were there before stay. I don't want to see any arguments started on the new board.
All the people that posted on the previous board had those interests .. it's why we posted.
I for one was not aware of anyone being drummed off or speaking against Kiefer stuff. For me it was a happy board with a close community .. the people who kept the board going. Why is it now all of a sudden people have a problem?

Well all I can say, musicalpenny, is I was totally unaware of any posts against the 'Kiefer' thread or of anyone being drummed off the board or banned or anything. And that's from someone who was quite a prolific poster.
We talked about Kiefer and Jude too, because at times there is only so much you can talk about RDB and Lifehouse. BBOP and HH were reasonably new additions to the team and there was little for people to chat about at times.
We could all just wait for another gig or something and let the board die. Or we could chat, become friends and keep the board alive.
This board does have new admin and I find slurs on the 'posting' members of the old board a bit insulting and derogatory.

I just remembered that the official Jude Yahoo group was basically shut down because they wanted it merged with the IW board (Ie the Jude Cole section that existed). They have left the yahoo group open but more because a community had formed, but the Jude stuff was supposed to be here - or should I say the old board - which would still be here if some moron hadn't been so pathetic.

Oh, Kiefer and Jude ladies, I didn't mean to sound as though I was slurring anyone. I should have stuck to one sentence answers instead of explanations. It really doesn't matter. I can go back to the the occasional lurking or I can leave altogether. I have other places to talk about music. It's not worth quibbling.

Oops! She's gone! But 'Kiefer and Jude ladies'?!?!? WTF? I guess me seeing RDB 15 times and LMD 10 doesn't mean anything.... I've been branded!

Eeeek my brain hurts from all this thinking (btw i'm getting to love the blue/black background - it pains me to admit that).
Anyhoo I had a brainwave .. I know don't all faint at once. Ya see with Kiefer everyone always wants a picture thread, a normal thread, a 24 one, a new film one. So what about having a Kiefer sub-board in off-topic. That way it's out of the way, as it's in off-topic and people can have as many threads as they want on this subject and they are kept in the same place.
Just thinking it would keep the masses happy .. it's out of the way of those who don't want it and its somewhere for those that do want it.
Then we could have a buy one get one free and throw in a Jude sub-board to make me and Esra happy ;D

oh Im dragged into this now LOL well, the reason Im on this board is Kiefer, I was browsing about him on internet and found out that he co-owns a record label with a guy called Jude Cole, and I remember asking myself who the hell he is I believe that having a celebrity like Kiefer in business made this label be popular more & faster than any other ones. I have seen a lot of gals joining the gang with a same "hi" msg like I did, it was all about Kiefer. Some of them left and some stayed... I admit that I am guilty as well in drooling part , but I also keep posting about RDB or LH. We may need to see the big picture and btw I definitely think that we need Kiefer and Jude threads as in the former board.

I like your sub-board idea - so I've moved the KS and JC threads over to new sub-boards in the "Off Topic Converstion" Section. Hopefully this will satisfy everyone. Also, about text being too small or hard to read....which text specifically is difficult? I actually think the main post text is bigger than it was before. I'm still making tweaks all over the boards, and some things are easier to change than others. But if anyone else has suggestions or constructive criticism, please let me know! Thanks, Trevor

I think the posts are fine, for me anyway (but I do have my new glasses.... ) Specifcally, it's the names of the posters that are so small.... for me, anyway. It's not so obvious who's written what!

FANK YOU so much Trevor I find the writing alright - I bet people will have an issue with the quoted text as that's pretty small. I also guarantee some people will have a problem with white writing on a black background. That's come up A LOT in the past which is why the previous board ended up black on a light background (although plenty hated that .. lol no pleasing everyone.) You see it was originaly like this white on black. Nothing you can do about that though without offering an alternative colour scheme.

I have a great vision, no glasses no nothing and beautiful eyes but I sometimes find it hard to see the thin line between a user's post and her/his user note at the bottom. The background colour makes it difficult to see too. I also swear that Im not drunk...yet!
