Wow, I haven't seen you posting in years!

NOW you all got me really curious! I wish I´d been here when the original thread came up - but unfortunately as I hadn´t, I have no way of knowing what the "security-sensitive" sentence, word, phrase might have been that caused the censorship.
With the next tour still 2 years away, the act of closing a thread about hotels the Stones might be staying at seems at least a little paranoid to me.
Did Bjornulf give some kind of explanation why he thinks the thread might have been potentially dangerous?

BV has a better connection with the Stones' camp than just about everybody here, so perhaps it's in everyone's interest not to let the "hotel" thread go on.

Just a thought.

come on....in every city the stones arrive there are fans waiting. so it cant be that hard to find out (just check the 3 most exclusive hotels), and it's obviously not a huge problem for the band either.
and that mystical thing going on here about the connection bv (might) has with the stones camp is also a bit silly....

I think you missed my point here.

First, I'd agree that anyone who really wanted to find their hotel would probably be successful without it being posted here, but it may not be such a good idea to let it so easily be known to the masses.

I seem to remember seeing a few pics of BV at rehearsals, sound checks, etc, so yes, he does have a connection with the Stones' organization although I would not describe that as "mystical."
Only BV knows how deep that connection goes, and I would hate to see that lost by allowing a thread to go on about the band's accommodations around the world.

Bottom line: if BV loses that connection, then we all lose a source of information.

Paulywaul, why so angry ? You have been here long enough to know that Bjornulf always closes threads that might reveal anything about the whereabouts of the Stones at any time. I also know, just like you, that it is very easy to find out where the Stones are. So does Bjornulf. He just doesn't want it posted on the internet, especially not on his board. That is his good right.

Firstly I'm not angry, I'm merely putting a question to the administrator, and secondly it's not a question of "right". Naturally it's his right, what posible grounds would either I, or indeed anyone else, have to challenge that right ? No grounds whatsoever. I CAN understand if he simply does not WISH to have this particular subject matter discussed on HIS message board, that is an entirely different issue. But to cite "security concerns" as reason to close a thread on the subject is simply an argument, the rationale of which escapes me personally .... hence I started THIS thread. That's all ... there ain't no anger involved !

If you WANT anger, start a thread on scalping and the secondary market ......... !! I have a LOT to say on THAT subject !!

Can't argue with that, the man would be exercising his absolute right if he genuinely felt that a discussion of that nature on HIS board was indeed destined to impact negatively on (one might presume) a long standing relationship with persons in the Stones camp, that (one might similarly presume) he's spent a long time cultivating.

The point that I'm making is that to quote "security concerns" as the reason for closure is a bit of an exaggeration. If BV quoted "closed because I felt like it AND cos it's MY board, so f**k the lot of you" .... hey now THAT would be a more persuasive argument for closure in my book !!

But hey, THIS one is still open ......... at least for the time being !!

Ah, we're talking semantics now!

Yeah, the posters here are just a fraction, but the number of lurkers can be massive indeed.

You mean the same connections and information that told him their would be a tour this year? The same connections and information that told him the shows at the O2 would be filled with rarely played songs?

Don't forget the Asian tour from a few years ago.

Hey, plans are laid, but things can change at a moments notice.
Just ask all those people whose plans were dashed in Atlantic City in '06.

>>the same connections and information that told him their would be a tour this year?<<

Did BV say there would be a tour, or did he say there would be "Stones activity?"

i agree the hotel the stones stay at can be easily discovered so why close the thread? also i was at the Virginia gig a few years ago where there was a bomb threat. the stones announce exactly where they will be and when if someone really wanted to do something to them

I can understand if the Stones were currently on tour. Yes the info can be easily be found out. But most fan sites for major bands don't allow that info to be posted. But the Stones aren't even on tour.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

if the stones go on tour again and they come to toronto to rehearse, guess what, i'll post exactly where they are rehearsing at. people are constantly hanging around there. but are they going to stay in a private residence in the swanky part of town for the duration of the rehearsals? perhaps. if i come across the exact address and co-ordinates and GPS location of these private residences, will i post the info? no. that's a whole different ballgame. now, i understand bv has connections to the stones and he's worried that he'll lose them, but to close a thread about past hotels they've stayed at or where they potentially might stay for a few hours is rather paranoid thinking, if you ask me.

When you invite people to dinner at your home, do you think because it is your home you are the only one to be right? The risk is that next dinner you will be alone. Perhaps Bjornulf will be alone on his website. To chat... NO he never participates to a conversation. We don't know anything about him, what he likes and what he doesn't like (sorry he is only loving anything about them). He must let people chating. He can close sometimes when the threads are too hard and begin a war between people. I'm right about that but closing some threads like the one about the hotels or because people talk too much about mick taylor...

I guess I should chime in since it was my thread idea, I think it was somewhat presumptuous to equate the past hotel accomdations with present security threats.

Even so I would assume that they have ample security measures in place (when on tour) to downplay the security threat. I think that at this point in their career and advanced age, that hundreds of screaming girls and wacko guys won't be chasing them down the street and holding vigils in the hotel lobby.

However it looked interesting some of the replies that some of the members had posted. Thanks for the pics. So I guess you all can put away your tents.

Yes they will!

It's just that they will be moving at a much slower pace, with walkers & wheelchairs, etc.

I miss the football thread sorely (just had made a great post with great old football vids in b/w from 1970, answering Max from KC, and saw that exactly 5 minutes before I posted it all, the thread had been closed!). And I bet Silver Dagger and others too would have loved to make it to the 100 pages (it was closed at 97). But I didn't ask any question nor complain(ed).

Oh dear. Our lovely World Cup threat made it to 97 pages and then got killed. Sorry, I missed what the offending line was. What happened?

it blows my mind that a thread can be deleted because a single person was so offended by what someone said on the internet (the internet!!) that they had to cry and run home to mommy (bv) and have him delete it. is iorr owned by disney or the vatican or something?

Some people take the internets way too seriously.

Silver, I really don't know. But it was fun, wasn't it? The closing of that thread was almost as painful for me as The Netherlands losing the WC-final for the third time. I miss all you guys there: you of course, Max, Hansie, our Spanish friend Carlitos, the brave Uruguyans and all others.

Really liked the World Cup thread, but tell me at the end just was dying a little bit, but have to say after couple weeks reemerged as Phoenix Bird.
At the end I miss you all my amigos, indeed,
Long life to football, coming soon BasketBall World Cup!!!
Vaaamosss!!!

As an excuse I suggest a football match anywhere so we meet all together, don`t you think?
We can meet for example in Dusseldorf from Thursday to Sunday or Monday that week, hang out all those days going to concerts, trips, football day, etc...
