Maybe drop a handwritten love letter at Zuzu's?

I guess it wont last, but it would be nice if that site was gone for good. Damn ugly design.

Huh. I wonder if they actually deleted the forums because it was 'pointless' or whatever

the whole sp.com website is down. so it's not necessarily forum related.

getting rid of that forum would be good though. on the other hand, it'll probably mean that this place will get a new wave of lunatics.

are there any fan-run message boards for bands that have existed longer than this place? surely there is a grateful dead one or something...

how hard would it be to change out the TBK artwork on the OBoard?

Simon, the admin on oboard told me they have tried to have that changed but with kerry brown and rynda gone management is not willing to do it themselves or allow them to do it.

How odd that Monte did not type a misspelled word about it, nor take any credit for it being back up.

I do not know if it would be hard, but it would certainly require more effort than it'd be worth to please the one fan who gives a fuck (i.e. you).

I used to run an ip.board like the o board and it's easy as fuck to update the skin.

Funny how a mod on this site though calls that site ugly when this is still a 90's monstrosity.

I don't know why you think i'm some sort of ambassador for the o board. I actually prefer this one. I find the inter forum rivilary a little silly though.

Cheers for the welcome though

Who's Rynda and what does having this Rynda person and Kerry off board have to do with the theme of the message board. On another note, I think it's kind of funny. It stands as the last real shred of existence that Teargarden existed.

@pave

Monte is the most predictable person ever.
Also, I wrote this to Billy on twitter at the 13th at 9am

"@billy sp.com is down. People are thinking it is a sign or should we blame monte IT?"

For some reason when I use the image tags the image won't show up.

No... Monte gives a grand illusion of being so tightly knit to the band that people have started to believe he really is the fan rep. Then when he spouts his anti gay hate he isn't the fan rep according the band.

Moreover, unlike others Monte actually steps up to the plate and contacts Billy instead of waiting for Billy to come to them. Which I never understood.

Also, sadly many fans won't cut out monte till he is banished by Billy. I have been told directly by fans that if monte is good enough for corgan then he is good enough for them.

A lot of people think he is dumb but he isn't he is a lot smarter than people think and he is ruthless when it comes to keeping corgan in his life.

Monte pretty much is the fan rep. The guy has first hand contact with Corgan and his management, gets first hand scoops and gets to interview Billy for his fan site regularly for hours asking Billy anything he likes.

Why should Billy care if Monte has some bat shit crazy beliefs? The guy works day in and day out to freely promote the band, and he runs the most up to date fansite for all the nerds who actually give a fuck about that shit to read. So why not throw the guy a bone and give him some exclusives to keep the fans up to date and engaged?

Frankly, I actually think its pretty cool that Billy does that... And it's not unusual. A lot of bands will throw the odd bone or 2, concert tickets, exclusives, giveaways to their most popular fansites. I know even Green Day does with GDA.com.

In this day and age you have to reach out with a more grass roots approach cause the record companies aint doing shit with promoting anything... And crazy fanatics like you are just jealous that Monte took the initiative and time to actually do this first.

( I know theres been several other fan sites, but Billy was always choked at em... So Monte obviously took the initiative and approached Corgan about his idea for his site... Billy was on board and Monte made it happen.)

Why in the world should Monte be "banished" by Billy anyways? It's not like Monte ever spouts his crazy beliefs on the website or anything... It's quite clear that you're just extremely jealous of Monte and his relationship with Corgan and the rest of his band.

Montes probably just being "ruthless" because you weridos keep on trying to sabotage his little friendly relationship that he has going on with Billy... Lets face it, the mormonism stuff is just a big excuse to try and stir shit because you're jealous of the guy.

Don't get me wrong, I've made fun of Monte in the past and I think Mormons (and christians for that matter) are outta there minds- But you've just been completely insane over the whole "Monte thing"

bullshit.

i think you're projecting here: you're the one who's actually jealous. this doesn't mean everyone else - or anyone who's got something against monty - is jealous too. let's face it.

and i never use the mormonism stuff against monty. it's not about that. it's a terrible argument anyway. the guy's horrible enough on his own. plenty of other stuff to pick on.

Naw man... I realize that most people here have known Monte for ages and have good reason for disliking him... But Juliana keeps on going on about Montes relationship with Billy and is seemingly trying to sabotage it for no good reason. She was bringing up his beliefs in order to try and get the band to stop associating with him. She's trying to create a controversy where there isn't one.

She even thinks less of the band because of it... It's silly. I mean, who even cares? It's not like Billys making good music anymore anyways.

The main reason it's so ridiculous is because a vast majority of these folks "offending" him don't even go to his shows or support the band whatsoever.. Billy chose to let Monte get that entrance for 'exclusive' bullshit for reasons unknown, but in Monte's defense it's not like there is some perfect SP fan out there who shares all the same religious or non-religious feelings about everything.. Billy claims he's all about peace, love, and unicorns now; being a "christian".. Christians are supposed to love everyone so maybe that's how he see's it??

In any case, I don't see why anybody gives 2 wet farts about hanging out with 2013 Billy anyway.. At some point in the next few years we will have all the reissues, archived stuff and hopefully the Chicago songs.. After that what else is there really to look forward to? A memoir of his life rambling on and on about failed relationships, and bridges he's burned with everyone through his career?? ZzZzzz......
I gotta be honest, I didn't read this.

Just gotta say, I think monte is funny. If monte was a created character on some TV show I think he would be a hit. All the monte threads are the best threads, monte brings the funny. I appreciate monte in a weird way. I wonder if that's why Wolly likes him too.
