Fuck WARF put me at #21! Awesome!
How the Fuck are you all doing?
I looked at page 22. Am I missing something?
Sorry...page 21!
Yeah, my friend Billy Z never posted at this site, but he was a REAL Van Halen fan from the beginning, just as I was. And even more intolerant of Hagar.
I kept telling him "They WILL make another album goddamn it" every day since 1996. When he got his cancer diagnosis in 2002, I told him he damn well better not think of dying until he saw the Mighty Fucking Van Halen rise once again. I planned on taking him to the concert in 2007 with me, but sadly that turned out to be the last month of his life, and he was in no condition to go to the show.
Well, at least with JC and Satan both being members here, I know he got a chance to hear ADKOT, which ever direction he went..... and I know damn well he loved the record as much as I do. Just wish I would have been able to see his reaction when he heard it for the first time...........

Wow this place has like 24000 members and you still remember that!
Come to think of it the DLR Army was the first site I ever posted anything on the net back in 99 and you were the first friend I ever made on the
Internet! I didnt even know you if you were a real person then. But I do know that the 7th Van Halen album exists and it fucken rocks.
The reason I remember is because you registered the same day as me almost 13 years ago!
The first person banned shortly after was a guy named whatthi... he was the very first Roth Army troll.
Then ed6150 came here after being banned from the vhlinks, and he was banned here as well.
Here's some names from back then that disappeared...
YankeeRose
IrishPunk
1984
KANE
Mike B
Melein
redfire
houseofpain
Spanish Doctor

South Texas Rocker

It was all Eat Us And Smile, and the EUAS thread was located in Roth's Romper Room... which is now the Hitchworld Romper Room...

Fucking IrishPunk! He was in love with Whitesnake from what I remember and Melein sent me a pic of her boobs once.
I think Melein showed everyone her boobs
Who was the skinny redhead chick that used to post pics of herself in sexy outfits?
What ever happened to GaryCheroneVoodoodoll dude?
Fuck I looked through some old stuff I have and found a pic of Kane and Sesh.
Sesh from his hair metal days!
I wont post that in case he bans me LOL.
Well....I would hope that you would feel that way. In a sense, ALL of us are "those types" because we're here at the Roth Army, pledging our undying allegiance to all things Dave and Classic Van Halen. We set up our tents at Camp Dave. If we were supposed to keep pulling up stakes and moving from "camp to camp", then we probably wouldn't have had such an issue with Hagar or Cherone...and this place might not exist....at least not in the widespread form that it does now.
Zah, I think you're one of the most intelligent posters on this board and I have a ton of respect for you, but I think you're trying to put lipstick on a pig here. I don't think that DLRF was started to spread diversity or to accomodate the wandering nomads of internet message board posters and I think some of the posts that have come up on this thread since late yesterday sort of validate my perspective. WARF, Warham and the others have made it pretty clear that their motivation was to protest conditions as they perceived them at the Army.
And they are completely free to do as they please. I just didn't understand why things had to go to such extreme measures. Like I said in my previous post...it felt like a long-term solution to a short term problem. Starting an entirely new site is a huge undertaking....so they must have had very strong feelings. I can respect that and disagree with it at the same time.
But it looks like cooler heads are prevailing, and THAT IS THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN.
I got involved in this whole "issue" because I love this place. I had been away from here for awhile because life is just too fucking busy and came back "steadily" just recently...and when I got here it was utter chaos. Sarge was giving up the site. VA Beach was going to take it. Then VA Beach WASN'T going to take it. A splinter group of old and new school members went out and started a new site. Suddenly I felt like a stranger in a strange land...and in 8 years I NEVER felt like that here.
I want it to feel like it used to feel, and I think we're on our way....

Thanks for the kind words!!
Make no mistake... I love this place. Especially for what it was the last 14 years... some of what it is today... and not so much of what it has become.
Will it rise once again? Most likely... it's in really good, intelligent and competent hands. Will it be the old Army... Nope. It will retain some of it's roots, dents, scratches, smells... but it grow into something that reflects the new owners, the old timers, the new comers and whatever blossoms from here going forward. I'm not much of a visionary but I do recognize change when it's right in front of me. Change doesn't make friends... it calls the tune we dance to... The dances have already started to change...
That's a good segway into my parting thought... no, I'm really not going anywhere too far off. I thrive on change. Always have...always will. If you've followed me much on the Van Halen/Roth internet journey you'll know I'm not one to burn bridges much... I tend to build a lot... I really prefer leaving bridges firmly intact... I'm a nomad. I'll most likely journey back. That makes bridges handy... Some people don't get that in life.
A good friend of mine once told me the lyrics of this song by the Austin Texas band Vallejo describe me to a tee... enjoy.
Call me a vagabond
A wanderer out on the run
No matter what my friends have to say
I'm gonna do it all my own way
Just like a nomad
I got to be free
Got to do my own thing
And I'm a gonna be moving on
Make a move, stand to lose some
Here today, gone tomorrow
Here today, gone tomorrow
Check it out
Call me crazy if I wanna rule the land
Without a throne
Nothing can take the freedom from a man
That's alone
I ain't got nothing to lose
Just gonna hop on my camel and cruise
Call me a nomad
I got to be free
Gotta do my own thing
And I'm a gonna be moving on
Make a move, stand to lose some
Here today, gone tomorrow
I'm moving on
Oh and if any of you dumbshits think this is a goodbye post... fuck you!! I'm philosifizing on the interwebz...
