And many other bands scrapped their official Forums years ago, just directing the fans to the usual social media sites (which, personally, I think are dreadful and not conductive to decent and interesting communication between the true fans).

For years I ran a Facebook page dedicated to NMA, and as I recall, there were about 2,000 members. They often seemed nice people, but one of the major drawbacks of social media sites is that topics and discussions don't last; they disappear into oblivion.

Agree it would be a great shame if it were to go.......this is the only place i get my info...

On the official NMA forum, you can find old threads, update them, and search for information—it's very convenient. While there aren't many of us on the forum, anyone interested in the band can always visit and find interesting things to read about NMA by browsing the topics. It's almost like having a book about the band, with all this information available here.

Having a YouTube David Bowie night. In terms of mass-market music, is there anyone better than Bowie? If you like disco, pop, rock, or alternative, then you like a bit of Bowie. For me personally, there are only two artists that I like as much now as I did when I first discovered music as a young lad, buying discounted singles in the cheap bin in Woolworths, and Bowie was one of um. Just gone through a few faves – Little Wonder, Loving the Aliens, and Jump, to name but a few. You can't go wrong!!!

Ahh close it down; it's a dead stick, obsolete, a thing of the past. I remember checking it every couple of hours 13 years ago; now you could check it every couple of months and have less to look through. Things change; people move on, die, do other things. Such is life.

Everything Else / Re: what Film / TV are you watching RIGHT NOW

'One Battle After Another'... blimey, this film is absolutely superb. Nearly three hours long and barely a second wasted, the performances are brilliant throughout (Sean Penn gets the 'man of the match' award though), the storyline is hugely engaging, it's gripping throughout, it's funny when it needs to be and shocking / violent also, damn, I really can't recommend this one highly enough. There's been some damn good movies this year but I think this one may top them all.  Trailer below...

It's a quiet board - nothing wrong with that.

I do not use any social media platforms so this board is important to me.

Let's be honest, it's a ghost town these days.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that it's still going, just in case some of the old crew feel like coming back and chipping in every once in a while.  But another bands Forum, that I was very active on, got scrapped a few weeks back despite having a heck of a lot more traffic than this one does, because the maintenance of it wasn't worth the effort from the bands inner circle.  I assume this place needs much the same effort.  And many other bands scrapped their official Forums years ago, just directing the fans to the usual social media sites (which, personally, I think are dreadful and not conductive to decent and interesting communication between the true fans).

I've been told by a friend who was never active here but is a huge NMA fan that non-members can't see this Forum anymore or join. Is that an indication that this Forum is coming to an end?  It'd be a shame if so but it's understandable.  I often look back on old threads or PMs and remember the friendships, jokes and banter and, occasionally, the fall-outs... all the good stuff that made this Forum so special.  But all good things come to an end.   :-\

Viv (or anyone in the bands inner circle), if you're out there, any clarification, whether it be good or bad?
