Hello Goodbye

#30
Just look who has posted on this thread.  ~80% are still here six, seven and eight years later and make up the nucleus of a unique international community. 

Yes, I miss Paul, Keven, Marie and Sondra too.  raxo is still very much with us...a true amigo who now posts at meaningful times.  Many members, like Mairi and Paul, have grown up on this Forum.  Some are still here and some have moved on but everyone has left their mark here. 

I'm happy to see some new members making significant contributions to what is a wealth of information and opinion archived in this Forum.  I hope they read this thread and and understand how this Forum can be an integral part of their lives.  We share an interest and love of The Beatles and we share the desire to express our feelings in a forum setting.  What a special place this is!!
I can stay till it's time to go

I definitely feel like I've grown up on this forum. I was 13 when I started posting and now I'm 21, how strange is that.
I am posting on an internet forum, therefore my opinion is fact.

I know. Was you a member even before 2004 when they changed the boards too?

I never ever get into ugly arguments in real life or on other forums, but somehow it happened a few times here (not with anyone who's still around though) and through the years I considered leaving this forum several times because of that. But as long as the old "regulars" (Bobber, Mairi, Tkitna, Hello Goodbye, etc.) stick around I don't think I could really stay away forever.

Considering all what was written above I think too that we need fresh and young blood, young people who will come up with new ideas how to make forums more attractive, interesting and live. And we need to organize some valuable topics, make them easy to reach. I agree with all of that.

As about me personally, as a owner of the forums, I am like an old president who hold a post too long and have nothing new in his head, just a mess  :-\ During first years I was younger and more active here and did many things, now I do almost nothing because... I don't know, maybe I lost interest, maybe I went into my other projects, maybe I'm just too busy.

Cor and moderators do a great job. You are very good, guys and girls! I can imagine what a junkyard forums could be without you.

All in all we all here need new ideas  2ch

I'm considering to switch to John and come back to Paul after that. But I'm going on a vacation next week first. Maybe my head will be filled with wonderful ideas when I get back. ha2ha

You know, that may not be a bad idea. I'd go one step further and mix it up everytime you do a review. Maybe John nest and then a George album and then maybe Ringo. I dont know. Just throwing it out there.

Alright, I will start with Two Virgins as soon as I'm back from my time in France, early September.

Are you being serious with Two Virgins? Please tell me your joking.
