I'm not here to berate or criticize anyone, I try to only criticize myself, but I think that I speak for most. Why not have added on the oracle to the site instead of replacing the bbs? I assume that most of your fans don't get listened to very often, and this is a great way for us, no doubt to be heard out by you, but in the bbs, we had people that we had a very good chance in them actually responding. Of course there were the jackasses that did stupid things on the site, but I remember a girl posting questioning if she should lose her virginity. She got a lot of insight and opinions from people who care, and maybe it was just a cry for attention, but she got it. Did she make the right decision? I don't know, but she got insight. I doubt that she would have gotten insight in a place like the oracle. I know it's being said a lot, but I think that that was what the bbs stood for. It stood as a place where people understood each other, where us outcasts could talk to one another and get help, or joke around, and have fun. I know that there are not many fans that live near me, or if they are, they're hiding. I'm sure you have you'r reasons for removing it, and I trust your judgement, but if you could tell me if you think that removing the bbs was a really good idea and if it was your idea, because a lot of people seem angry. Also, best of luck on tour, I'll be there, and I think that it is silly for people to stop liking you or any musician, at that because of a website. I thought fans liked musicans for their mind and music. one more thing, I can't see what I'm typing without highlighting it in this box, can someone fix it???
Best Wishes,
