i don't trust billy to run an oboard for years without losing everyone's posts when he decides to change bands again...

as much as i hate netphoria and its shady advertising, i do have to hand it to pakula for keeping this board in (anemic) existence for years on end (that and leaks are this place's two redeeming traits)

from billy: let's try something small first, like a dvd

I'm sorry, but all the sick fucks here with 3,000,000+ posts who hate billy are the reason we aint gonna get an o-board. Cause SP is trying to bring in new fans, and the last thing they want is someone new going to sp.com to check em out and think that even their fans think they are ridiculous. But a new fan aint gonna find this shithole place as easily. I'm glad there isn't an o-board for ya'll to trash.

Actually, most of the folk with a lot of posts here thought the oboard was a joke.

The reason there isn't going to be a new oboard was because, even with only the super fans like you standing, billy said he was disappointed with how the official board was just a breeding ground for negativity.

I'm certain that most of the folk with over a couple of thousand posts here wouldn't ever be seen on the oboard.

edit; also feel free to try thepumpkins.net or blamo.org if you prefer a more positive atmosphere on your chosen messageboard.

The problem with the O-Board was, of course, noobs. New fans don't know anywhere else to start other than the official site. The main was nothing short of laughable/cringe-inducing/embarrassing... take your pick.

I posted there only because if there was "official" news it would show up there first. Billy had a few Q&A's there, etc.

Yeah, I agree it should come back, but only so that the 17 year olds who kiss Billy's ass and brag that they have been fans since Machina have somewhere else to go.

sigh, i understand now. This must be so frustrating for people who were here time before me.

People hear about the negativity here so they arrive with a negative attitude, waltzing in with 10 posts insulting the board and calling people out, with no real understanding as to what its really like. Yes yes yes there are some people here who dont like the pumpkins (i find that a little strange) but its interesting to hear what they have to say. Threads such as

"i love today it rocks"
"billy is so hotttt omg"
"jimmy is the best focken drummer"

Get old really fast, and you can imagine on the 30th time of seeing that thread you are gonna get some shit for it. Just think about some of the threads you are making and imagine if they seem a little obvious it might be an idea to have a search and see if its been covered.

Without doubt you will find some of corgans biggest fans and critics on this board, it isnt all negative, and it creates the best atmosphere. I'm taking this too seriously but mindless comments get to me. If you want simple minded unswerving positivity, go and talk in a tunnel.

yeah, netphoria is sooo misunderstood. With their classic threads such as "Billy can suck a choad". And the one I truly feel ASHAMED for the person who authored it: "Billy's Dad needs to die or something". Netphoria is a worthless piece of shit because of you. I just come here for the cutting-edge info, but other than that, the people are mostly worthless.

I liked how the non Smashing Pumpkins forum at the o-board eventually evolved into a board that was nearly completely separate from the rest of the o-board.

Once I used to think that the o-board should be brought back but I don't think so anymore. I have fond memories of that place but I think bringing it back would be a mistake. Leave us to our diaspora.

Billy Corgan buys a piece of the Gold Coast

Ten months after selling his Victorian painted lady mansion in Lake View for $1 million, former Smashing Pumpkins lead singer and chief songwriter Billy Corgan has paid $2.95 million for a recently renovated, historic six-room condominium on the Gold Coast.

After disbanding the Smashing Pumpkins, Corgan formed a new group, Zwan, which is playing three sold-out shows at the Double Door this weekend.

Through his tour manager, Corgan declined to comment on the purchase of the two-bedroom condo. His tour manager confirmed that the singer-songwriter recently has been staying at the condo while rehearsing for Zwan's current tour, but said the Chicago-area native ultimately intends to lease the condo in a 110-year-old building to someone else. The unit has an oak-paneled living room, reception room, balcony framed by granite columns, four fireplaces, walnut parquet floors and a large terrace.

Corgan has shown an affinity for vintage properties. After moving out of the more than 100-year-old Lake View home at 3448 N. Greenview Ave., which he owned from 1993 to 2001, Corgan temporarily stayed in a penthouse in the Haberdasher Square loft development, 728 W. Jackson Blvd., a former manufacturing building that dates to 1926. And in 2000, the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois awarded Corgan its President's Award for his commitment to historic preservation.

Since Corgan sold his Lake View home, one Smashing Pumpkins Web site reported that he has been living in Italy, but in interviews he has declined any comment on his permanent residence.

Singer Courtney Love, whom Corgan dated many years ago, just sold her loft in downtown Manhattan for $3 million after buying it for $2.6 million in January 2001, according to the New York Post. The loft is in the same building where rocker Lenny Kravitz just listed his own, five-bedroom, 7,000-square-foot, multilevel loft for $16 million, after buying the space unfinished in October 2000 for $8 million, the Post reported.

Love also recently listed her almost 3,700-square-foot Spanish-style house on Los Angeles' Westside -- which she bought last June for $3 million -- for about the same price, according to the Los Angeles Times. Love reportedly is looking for another house in the area because her five-bedroom house, which was built in the 1920s, is too small.

Ironically, Love told the Times last year that she sold a four-bedroom, 4,700-square-foot French country-style house on almost 2 acres in the Hollywood Hills -- which she had purchased from Ellen DeGeneres in 1997 for about $3 million -- because she was planning to spend more time in New York and actually wanted something smaller in L.A. She sold the Hollywood Hills home for $3.995 million in March 2001 to British businessman Mike Walley. Love's former Hollywood Hills house made the news in November 2001, after Paul McCartney's fellow Beatle George Harrison died. After Harrison's representatives gave a bogus L.A. address on his death certificate, the county's district attorney revealed in February that Harrison actually had died at Walley's house.

Rocker Tom Petty has paid close to $2.5 million for a three-bedroom oceanfront home in Malibu, Calif., according to the Los Angeles Times. Built in 1974, the house has three fireplaces, Malibu tiles and a courtyard with a fountain, the paper reported ... Fred Durst, frontman for the rock group Limp Bizkit, has sold a house he never moved into in Bel Air, Calif., for $3.7 million because it had "vibes that were not quite correct for him," according to the Los Angeles Times. Last fall, Durst bought the four-bedroom, 6,600-square-foot house, which was once owned by the Doors' Robbie Krieger and has a carving of the Doors playing on one wall, for just under $4 million, the paper reported. Durst recently bought a house with a sound studio in L.A.'s Hollywood Hills, and has listed that home for $1.4 million, the Times reported.
