WTF. Gone TWO days and my home page has been bombed. And I'm so fucking pathetic I forgot about this place's existance!
There's not a lot left to say. Von's been disgusted with many aspects of running DDLR for some time. And everybody seems to be ignoring his second post in this thread where he explains a little more thoroughly what really happened with Brian, which sounds like a little flare up which then went away. I'm guessing that the whole thing is just the straw that broke the camel's back.
It just comes down to gratitude. Gratitude from many places which just isn't there, and from places it OUGHT to be there from. If you spent your own money, busted your nuts and truly had a passion for something and people took issue and complained, wouldn't you quit spending the money? Getting a little
shit from posters, a lot shit from spammers and no notice or recognition from the very subject of the board?
Dave isn't dissing these sites. From what Von posted, it looks like he simply was reacting to Brian getting worked up about some idiot post with his own method for dealing with asshole fans on the internet - don't go there if it upsets you. It's worked for him - don't listen to your own press. Seems to work for Eddie and Alex too.
All this is about is a handful of good people who are simply burnt out. If it has to go, then just wish them well and say thanks. The only thing that I can't live without are the friends I've made there, and there are many avenues to reach them, including this site.
Who knows, maybe we'll all be forced to drag our asses into the 2000's and listen to some new music.
Farewell, raise a glass, and get on with it. Let us know if you change your minds. We'll be back.Comment

That was a great post...
I don't think it's necesarily gratitude...
but acknowledgement...
it's funny...the downloads are generally things that they want taken down...like it's taking money out of anyone's pocket at this point...
or having to kiss someone's ass to have their support.
IMO...if someone can't fucking handle the fact that they are criticized a few times out of hundreds and hundreds of fucking threads...makes me want to fucking go out of my mind...
It gets old...
then you throw in the bullshit that goes on on the boards...and it makes it fucking mind numbing...
I mean...for fucking christ's sake...I've been answering fucking PM's about the "Sheep PEN" for 3 weeks now...
imagine someone walking up to your fucking door 4 times a day talking about the Sheep Pen...
you get my point..."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."Comment

Pardon my french. That was another criticism on how much Roth sucks right now at this time because he neither heavy nor is he metal enough for me to give a shit this year.
And B Young I will always, ALWAYS support even if he is shitting in with the shittiest self-defeating shit because a) I know he's one of LA's most talented b)he's holding back or being asked to hold the flash and c) he's doing Roth a favor for sticking on with him, whatever the pay is.
I just need to post once in a while at DDLR where there's none of this:
Bueno Bob: Exactly
Matt White: Fookin
Matt White: Aye
Bueno Bob: You're ace!
Don Corleone: No, you're the best
NickDFresh: No, Mezro's the best!
WhereverGirl: I'm my best when we're all besting the rest
- this sheep pen shit happened somehow and it's the oddest fucking phenomenaeComment

once in a while??!??
