Blamo.org is gone
The Pumpkins cyber fandom continues to contract...
http://www.facebook.com/blamo.org/po...50191019267617 "After 15 years of running blamo.org, I've decided to shut off most of the content to the site. The site now will be redirected to the Smashing Pumpkins forum on blamonet.com. Additionally I've shut off jamesiha.org and zwanmusic.org and forwarded them both to blamonet.com." |

Sad but necessary. I really hope Billy comes to his senses soon and realizes no one gives a fuck about him and his band anymore. He has no one but himself to blame.

How long until Netphoria dies as well?
It could all have been so different if the last 4 years hadn't been such an abject failure artistically :/ |

It's only a matter of time before there are no SP fans to be found anywhere. The core fanbase that kept Billy from becoming completely irrelevant after all these years (since Adore, really) is finally giving up on him.

Ohhhh, the CONTENT, not the board.
Well, who cares then? |

I'd like to say that social media (facebook, twitter) are taking the place of lots of random fan sites. But how many people follow SP or billy on facebook and twitter.???
billy's got 100,000 twitter followers and the SP twitter feed has almost 50,000 followers. Howard Stern's limo driver has that many followers... |

I follow Mike Byrne on Twitter, but he hasn't posted anything since he turned 21 three months ago.

The death of the "band fan site" is a sad thing indeed. Who will collect all the random trivia? At least we still have the SP FAQ

Man, anyone remember their audio section? So many memories- what was it, RealPlayer that they used? Blamo is the first messageboard I joined (jun 2000) and the first place I heard ultra rare sp trax.

I always hoped I could go to blamo if things got really bad here. I guess that option is no longer available.

i went there very rarely. tried to read some of the general boards and couldn't stand the smiley riddled love-in they had going on there. at all. but i still get a weird pang in my belly thinking how the general board is gone.
