[Kristy]

Vote today! Death awaits more than boredom.

[Nitro Express]

David Lee Roth's best days are in the rear view mirror. Nobody cares anymore. ZZZZZZzzzzzz.

[FORD]

Jimmy Page?

[cadaverdog]

I voted Krusty but you left out alot of other options. Sammy Hagar, global warming, global climate change, tea baggers, The BCE, apathy, the legalization of marijuana, ISIS, Wolfgang Van Halen, Wolfie's weight, the metric system, The NRA, NBC, Fox, Irritable bowel syndrome, lice, crabs, STDs, PMS, LSD, PCP, incontenence.

[cadaverdog]

Team Butthurt, the clique.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Team Butthurt, the clique.

The people that broke absolutely none of Sarge's rules but were effectively forced out and have since for the most part stayed away, THEY killed the Army?


Yeah, you're right, that makes perfect sense.....

Team Butthurt? I agree. That's a shame. I wonder where those guys are now.
If you're talking about the clique you should have taken the reigns yourself when they were offered to you if you felt that way. Personally I don't think the Army's dead at all. I found this site back in 2007 trying to find out more info about Roth rejoining VH. I'm sure that added a few posts. Everyone was hoping for a new album but they got ADKOT instead. They wanted a decent live album fom CVH and got Live In Tokyo instead. If anything's killing the Army it's Roth and/or Van Halen.
BTW. Who from either group other than Flappo was forced out and has stayed away since?

I have legitimate reasons for not taking over, leave it at that.

JHale and Lounge have stayed away for the vast majority of time, they only post every now and then. I would also include Kwame in that category as well.

And yes, those two were effectively forced out IMO.

Which two? When new management took over they were the one's who made the decision to demod all those guys. I don't believe any of them were banned. Just about everybody on the other side was banned. Hale kind of got the shitty end of the stick for being loyal to his buddy but otherwise no one was totally innocent.

Kinda addressing a few other posts combined with yours, Va!

My staying away really had nothing to do with Jay and Lounge being attacked...........they're big boys and could handle themselves. I thought it was absolutely beyond decency invading people's businesses and personal lives or going full on racist and said so but neither one asked me ever to come and defend them, for the record.

Going after Dale's family was a bigger reason.
People taunting Angel when she was going through that horrible time with family issues! That level of meanness and then the thread where people were posting actual real life suicide pictures taunting someone.........those three things combined really did it.

No drugs, alcohol, blackouts, personal grudges or jilted love can justify the levels that a bunch of people sunk to here.........they were always those type of people inside and the booze or anger just brought it out. Not really the type of people you want to hang with in your off time.

Those people are more to blame for people leaving here then the mods!

As far as Sesh or any mod is concerned..........we made our peace and things are back to the way they always were with us.

The irony is hilarious, though. Sesh replaces the original lead singer of this site and sites jump up all over the place bemoaning the loss of the original lead singer and how the band was so much better with Sarge at the helm

No matter what you do Sesh or have done, that will always be the case. Shitty deal but..........

................Also, Roth is no longer the underdog. He is back with Van Halen. That was much of the allure of this website.........

........Facebook... etc are partially to blame.................

Yeah, what united us was rallying around Dave and hating Spammy!

The site got a second life and was cooking when Dave got back and all the perks we were getting from DDE. A new album and a comeback tour kept this place going for awhile but now that they're pretty much content to be an oldies act and releasing live albums from the last fucking tour instead of the glory years, took a ton of steam out of the engine. I agree 100%!

FB is what killed the site, though.

30 or so of the longtime members here and I still stay in touch through FB. It's convenient, it's private and it just seems easier without having to worry about privacy issues or personal attacks on family or businesses.

You can choose who you want to deal with as opposed to an open forum.

Add in all the good and legendary trolls are gone and that was half the fun........logging in after work to see what bizarre and creepy things Katy or whoever was posting. There were some strange ass fuckers here and the flame wars were funnier. It used to be you won the argument through humor and not rancor for the most part but things did get nasty here then so it's not a new phenomenon, just seemed different and more vile the last round.

I still post here and will continue to when the mood strikes! Just not a highlight of my day like it used to be.

I wouldn't say I was ran off, just a combination of things kinda put me off..........real life is partly to blame, too.

Once I stayed away it just got easier to continue to stay away.

Things change and people move on.........That's Life

Facebook killed message boards in general.

Just because you couldn't figure out how to make a forum work (five times?!?) doesn't mean no one else has.

[philouze]

Also, you forgot "swedish meatballs who, in fact, are only croatian ladyboys who sing creepy lullabies to dolls, like to be raped and pissed on and who stalk married men".
I'll leave the baby abducting stuff out of this, since it's already long enough.

I don't think I'm out of line.

[cadaverdog]

Sounds familiar.

That's what did it.

The site that really is dead? With commercials like that it is easy to see why it bombed.

[philouze]

Meeeeeeeeeemoriiiiiiiiiiiiiiies....

[DLR Bridge]

Without pointing anyone out specifically, I'd say there are two types of posters that certainly don't help things around here.

People playing roles as opposed to themselves.
(Who knows if they even believe in what they're saying?)

People saying shit they'd never in a million years say to someone's face.
(Thanks a lot, inventor of the Internet muscle.)

Simple as that. A rational discussion or debate shouldn't be a headache to pull off. This place isn't dead. I consider everyone outside of the two types to be the life support. If only they were the ones posting here more often.

They only post here when something's going on in the VH camp.

i predict the next spike in Roth Army traffic will be when Dave buys the farm.....

[vandeleur]

Dave is buying a farm ?

[Nickdfresh]

Dave is buying a farm ?

I think a sheep ranch is more likely, almost ironically enough...

[ZahZoo]

The ship sailed and reached more exotic ports while it's captain was on shore-leave... That says a lot about the crew.

But there's one problem with the question... you can't perform an autopsy while the heart still beats and there's, while significantly diminished, brain activity...

Appears this one ain't ready for the morgue yet...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

The Army has always had peaks and valleys with posters....

Naturally, things have trended upward when VH has released new material and/or a new tour....

And of course, the DDE input with the videos, pics and show passes got all-time high pageviews here.....

But overall, for many people anyway, life just takes over..... Many of the oldtimers here are long gone....

[ZahZoo]

This place mirrors the world in general... conflicts flare up. Refugees flee. Some never left. Some return, some don't. Soldiers die, some don't. Monuments are erected... some stand and are cherished by a generation while others fall into disrepair or are defaced by malcontents.

For better or worse... the world evolves all around us. Life goes on... Live it... the alternative sucks.

I'm not sure it's been confirmed that is was actually a guy...

Dale you spot someone older, point em out. I'll make them cry...

[hambon4lif]

I'm not sure it's been confirmed that is was actually a guy....

I vote that we should let your wife confirm that. At this point anything else would be considered a trade-up. Especially when you think of the bland jar of mayonnaise life has dealt that woman.

Back in the day, I found it odd that folks like Catfish looked at you with such disgust and contempt. I get it now, though. I understand it completely.

Choke on a dick.....in the middle of a fire....and die, scumbag!

LOL you getting a vote and my wife giving you the time of day is something you can only dream about... Bless your heart.

Don't think you'll ever understand the banter for sport between FuckFish and me... He really didn't get genuinely disgusted until Von demoted him and put me in as a super-mod when he threw a fit over me modding main. It was done as a joke, but then he had an epic meltdown and quit. Poor guy... took it so hard his new wife made him quit the internet. We've chatted since all that... no hard feelings. Von's still a rotten bastard!!

Have an exceptional day, Hammy...

[Mr. Vengeance]

I'd vote for attention whore threads from useless, repetitive, pothead cunts.

Oh wait, there's the Kristy option. Carry on.....

[vandeleur]

What killed the army ?

Constant autopsies and a define me define me culture.
The army is what it is , if people post here it thrives if people don't post here well it's a forum that's quiet.

The whole it's them , it's them is pretty fucking boring.
Even after the most serious event people have either got to move on or for fuck sake move on.

It doesn't help that most people on here are looking at something they love 30 years older and don't like the idea of what that means to all of us.
Am sure the people over at the playboy army are totally pissed their favourite 70's playgirl can't do high kicks

Just saying

It humors me that you fuckers still act like you were the victims. If I had half the spare time you fucks have I would paste all your butt hurt whining pussy shit right here to refresh your memories. You dumb fucks broke the rules, bailed to start your own site because you all were obviously the "cool" posters here and crawled back when all of those sites failed. I am sick of rehashing this crap but for fucks sake show some accountability. Fucking hypocrite pussies.

Shaddup, you have more free time than I do.

Now, since you posted this after I posted, I'll assume you were telling ME to take some accountability.

I did. Every step of the way. I NEVER did "backstage politics". All I do is laid out for all to see & I will acknowledge & accept the consequences of every single one of my actions.

Hypocrite I am not. Show me ONE instance where I contradicted myself or take that back.

If you can't find one example of me being a hypocrite, a snivelling, crawling apology will do.

Cheers!
