The 'official' forum

In case anybody hasn't realised, there is loads of stuff of interest on the 'official' forum even though no-one really posts there anymore. Most of the people on here used to also post over there so there are a lot of interesting threads and quite a few tabs etc for guitarists.

Is a useful archive but obviously the HDVL is where all us cool cats hang out!!

Yes, that´s true.
All the cool and fantastic tabs and Chords by the Cpt. are still in.

I didn't know there was an "official" forum.

it used to be... it's just a way to call it

I thought that forum was shut down on orders from Brian himself... it's back up & running???

It was never gone. It´s a ghost ship without a Captain.

I had a look around last week - met Slim Jon in there! - it is a bit like walking around an old empty warehouse where the stuff is still on the shelves but no-one ever uses it!

It was gone for awhile. It is no longer an "official" anything. It's a nice little archive, with most of the backbiting and bullsh*t that got it shut down excised. It's probably best not to blather on about it here in case it draws the wrong sort of attention and goes away again.

Very cool, thanks for posting. --Ahh, the good old days, when Tommy M still held the reigns of the official site. It lost quite a bit of mojo when he left.

Wow... why are people still posting on there?? That's MY question!! LOL!!

I think I'm still a moderator or whatever on that board and even I haven't looked at in in ages!

Yup, I sometimes post there!!!

It`s not a crime.

Please don't misunderstand me. As long as it's out there in the cyber-ether, visiting and posting there is fine. I think it's a great archive, and I enjoy it. So much so that I'm afraid if it draws enough attention here, the powers that be will decide it's too much of a risk to leave out there and it will go away again. At the moment, it has nothing but good vibrations and comraderie. But there was a reason it went away before. If it gets too much attention here and elsewhere, it might attract people looking to stir up trouble. The response to internet adversity by the official Setzer camp has been a mixed bag at best. Some good things have happened, but there have been a lot of missteps along the way.

It's a little like talking about where to get bootleg recordings, or who has the best (insert drug of choice). You say something to the wrong person and suddenly, your source goes away.

Dude, Where's My Forum-billy

The semi-mythical Tommy M posted over there today!

And Mr.Budgie posted there too.

I really don't think there are any powers that be affilliated with that messageboard anymore... It's just its own little entiity, floating aimlessly through cyberspace...

Submitted for your approval-billy.

I was wondering what happened to Myspace...

Hey Budge, when are we gonna fight the Barenaked Ladies on the steps of the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame? Chuck Berry's birthday, perhaps?

Taking Everything Too Seriously-billy

I would've had your back... until I found out that the Barenekkid Ladies are actually dudes!

It´s now the 3rd or 4th re-animation of this board and it´s getting boring now.
I don´t care if somebody shut it down forever...

If you could just play with Scotty Moore EVERY week, that would definitely liven things up.

Living vicariously-billy

Sorry, i don`t wanted to affont anybody.
But to me the spirit is gone.
As a archive it´s great.
