    A New Day Dawns Upon Us, and it's RAm fucking tough...

    There was a day here at the Army when things were streamlined...

    it wasn't about your politics...

    it wasn't about just one guy trying to stand out...

    it wasn't about a little faction here...and a little faction there...

    It was about the mob mentality...

    A group of people that knew shit about Roth...and didn't give a flying shit about repurcussions...

    That time has been gone for a bit...

    It's time to return to our roots...

    What does that mean?

    I don't fucking know to be honest other than this...it's time that the webmasters steer the ship...and make everyone remember THAT IT'S ABOUT ROTH...AND THE ROTH FUCKING ARMY...

    If you have an agenda...you'll get wiped the fuck out...

    The best of the best?...those that know their shit about Roth...Classic Van Halen...and have a take...

    it's time to reclaim this site...and roll through the alias riders...and the people that forget we are here to support the site...

    to support Roth...

    and to handle your business the right way...

    Pay attention...

    July is coming...The Dog Days of the Roth Army will commence...
    "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

            I'm not trying to be mysterious here...

            When the site went down...then reappeared...I started paying a bit of attention to some of the folks on this site...

            many of whom I already knew...some of which I didn't know well...but saw post a ton...

            I started thinking it was time to start rewarding those that are loyal to the Army...who keep coming back...

            And start opening up shit a bit...IE...

            Start rewarding those that actually know their shit about Roth...and most importantly...those of you that are here to make this site better...

            Every site has a foundation...and ours is dissipated throughout the site...doing a little of this...a little of that...

            We're going to refocus that energy...

              The Army was put upon this earth to be different from all the rest...

              I have no problems with other VH-Roth-related sites...

              we aren't them...

              they aren't us...

              I've been pretty passive over the past couple of years...as have many who weren't really that passive...

              There are places here at the army that really get most of us scratching our head...trying to figure out what the fuck they have to do with the general good of the site...

              It's time to streamline...

                Thanks for clearing that up.

                But of course you must realize there's plenty of hard-core fans who can't post all day long..... but bleed CVH/DLR constantly.

                I'd love to be a mod... but I stand zero chance because I'm not posting 50 - 60 times a day like others are.

                But I'll bet a week's pay that I know more about VH than most of them do.

                So yeah....... I like your ideas and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. And stuff.

                  It has nothing with posting all day long...

                  as long as you have a take...

                  Trust me...I know who knows their shit...

                  and who are on here to share recipes...

                  you are getting what I'm saying here...

                    Really. With over 20,000 members, how many are really posting? A very small percentage. This site is primarily used by fans who want to read any current Roth news or rumors, find the good rare video & audio downloads, tour dates, and view some free porn.

                    1-2% post on a regular basis. Uh, 200 - 400 for non-mathematicians.

                      Yeah, I'm picking up what you're laying down.

                      This site has tried hard to be all things to all people.

                      There's a lot of shit to be flushed. This is the House of Roth, but lately it's been like a Denny's at 3 A.M. Full of punks and assclowns.

                      Jiggle the handle, Poj.

                        How many of the 20,000 are aliases or duplicates, I wonder.

                          You would be a-fucking-mazed...

                          I never pay attention to that number...

                          when I run IP checks through the admin panel...or use my software here to find root IP's for those using anonymous IP's...

                          the connections are fucking unbelievable...

                          there are many, many alias'...

                          which is fine...but when your main persona is fucking lame...and you add on 10 other alias' that are equally lame...

                          well...1 person makes the board 10 times more lame...

                          LMFAO...Denny's at 3 AM...

                            Or dead user id's. Pojo, is there a timeframe in which a member gets cancelled out? Like if they haven't logged on in a year, do they get erased?

                              Nope...

                              We could prune them out...but you'd be surprised how many members join...

                              post a couple of times...and just view shit afterwards...

                              I was rooting through some of the original members...and there were names I'd never heard of that have been around over the past few months...
