some regulars don`t post anymore
They are either banned , in which case they can't come back even if they wanted to.
Or they got bored with saying the same thing about the same band.
Or its possible some of them fell out of love with band and moved on, the greed of the Stones repels a lot of fans i think. Whatever the reason i doubt this thread will bring them back.
What's left to say really, a few more UK dates next year, delivering the same gig we have seen since 89' , only a little more tired and less energetic due to their ages.
Personally i don't particularly want to see them again live unless they finish the new album and tour to promote that, like in the old days.
They need to offer me something more than they did in Paris.
I want a new Start Me Up type single to come from the new album, with all the radio stations playing it, because its brilliant and everyone is talking about it, i want to see the Stones perform a new hit record that is even better than SMU. I know they still have it in them.
I think this is how the majority of most hardcore fans feel right now.
I think a new album would bring back some old posters, and could very possibly bring on some new posters, although i get the impression new posters are not respected or wanted here from what i have seen, they basically just get ignored, pity that.

Lukester, SweetCharmedLife, Gazza, CindyC, SwayStones, Max'sKansasCity, Cafaro, SomeTorontoGirl and many others...
I see Erik_Snow has returned from the Dagobah system with his broken diskman.
Maybe BV can post the NOC list of banned members.
Same for the current users.
Some of these posters are still here. Some with their old monikers, others with new ones

Yeah, I see that, sometimes I think of posting but then see no point as anything I write is largely ignored. I've been here 8 years now but have yet to be accepted. Like I say over on Buy/Sell/Trade people appear more welcoming and it's less of a closed shop.Quote
Thru and Thru
I've been a faithful IORR member for 13 years but I still feel intimidated by some of the regulars. Whenever the Stones are on tour I'm on the board several times a day to keep up with every last detail but unless I plan on posting I don't necessarily always sign on. Now during the off-tour schedule I read up every two or three days so I do keep informed.
I consider myself a huge Stones fan, so far I've seen them 59 times all over the world and I'm working on the illusive show #60 but for various reasons I haven't been able to make it to many shows over the last couple of years, not that I didn't want to mind you! Having said all that I know that I'm not near as knowledgeable about every last little Stones tidbit as most of you are and I know that lack will surely be pointed out to me very quickly and sometimes rather harshly should I post something not 100% correct, that's where the intimidation factor comes in.

That's a shame, geordiestone. Everyone should feel welcomed. After all this is a talk forum.

I miss Gazza, CindyC, StonesTodd/T&A, Babbon Bro. I wish there was a amnesty program so bring these folks back into the fold .
What was his saying when he at times used to say " A shower of something (I think it was a word for illegitimate kids ?)Quote

Yup. Especially miss Gazza on his birthday. And on that note, I should likely get up and have a shower.

This is just a good outlet. None of my friends know the depth of my interest and knowledge about the Stones and this is a good place to post and read what others say.
In other words, keep posting. It contributes to the discussions.
There have been times when I have wondered if I was the only Stones fan in the world, but I never could work out their record sales figures if I was the only one buying them? So I know how you feel. It's sad if people feel intimidated about posting here, I for one am interested to here what anyone has to say

Always wondered how many on IORR also were on UNDERCOVER back in the mid to late 90s?

Always loved iorr for the good & the not so good.
Met some amazing people, discovered all kinds of music & gained much knowledge through this forum. Sometimes it's great, other times it sucks. A microcosm of life. I've laughed like a drain at the humour (Maverick, Gazza, Lukester etc...) & cried as folk have had bad times or past away.
I mainly lurk these days but occasionally post when I've got something to say.
I very much hope & look forward to meeting friends, old & new, next summer at a show or three.

Sometimes we post and nobody seems interested. But if one keeps on posting eventually a post will attract the attention of many. As one keeps trying one gets better at it and it surely won't take 10000 posts.

...I've started several threads over the years that sunk like a rock. It used to hurt my feelings a bit, especially when it took me some time to cut and paste, and deal with Photobucket...not to mention the effort I put into crafting a brilliant and insightful comment... .
