D'ya reckon the band visit this forum ?

And if they do, I wonder what the hell they think. Or, indeed, if I am actually confusing them with people who give a shit about what their fans say

NO.

If they did, it was only once and they were so petrified that they got a restraining order against Shug

Didn't Barney once say he doesn't like talking about his family 'cos there's lots of weirdos around ? I think you're probably right...

Hooky's kids do, as do the band's management. How else do you think we got Love Vigilantes at Old Trafford ?

Well, I figured somebody out there must do, for that reason alone ! Hello, whoever you are :)

Message to Hooky's kids: Tell your dad to regrow the mullet. It's just not the same

To the management: Thanks for continually screwing the North American fans (316, hello?) :finger:

I do visit the board sometimes. When major lets me out of my cupboard.

PISS OFF!!!

:evil2:

Right on! Can't the goddam management get a f*cking clue! :moon:

Funny how Stephen Morris popped up in the Retro booklet to settle the Cries And Whispers / Mesh argument after we'd spent the previous month debating it, don't you think?

Also John McCready's comment about "I'm sure you've all posted your own tracklisting in some troublingly obsessive chat room" in the same booklet...

Originally posted by Al Jarvis ..... It must be another thing entirely though trying not to react to some of the more negative comments, particularly when they border on the personal (weight, etc).We've already heard from Jonathan that Andy Robinson reads these pages, so I don't see why the band themselves shouldn't. ..

... especially considering the elation expressed on the board re: their return & desire for their continued public performances etc...

It would be naive to think New Order and people with a commercial interest (as well as the fans) do not visit places like this for so many reasons. Access to a core fanbase without costing them a penny? (unless they are on AOL), reams of info. on their own material (possibly are even using us who recall their own career more readily), check out the latest opinions ... the list is endless and could even run on forever.

If somebody set-up a site about Rocket Mick (admittedly, it would only be a small homepage with 2 pieces of text; Rocket and Mick - perhaps a picture of a goat) then who would you think would visit? - for one, Rocket Mick and then the owner of the goat he stole from.

The only thing that is slightly worrying is the fact that there is a lot of maniacs about and thus (as somebody already pointed out) Bernard Sumner is not going to post as Bernard Sumner. I'd guess he would occasionally check for a laugh.

I'm willing to stake 15 pence on the fact that at least one member of New Order have logged-on as a fake name to post in a comedic, irony situation!? - to perhaps take the rise out of himself or herself - or just to mingle and discuss spuds?

Not saying who I might think it is though ...

I'll raise your 15pence and stake 20pence

I'm a student, can someone lend me 25p?

why don't we club together and bet each other 3 pounds?

Aswell..PS £100 or the goat gets KILLED!:D

if i had an entire site dedicated to me and my goings-on, i'd be far too tempted to see what others were writing about me, positive or otherwise. i'm sure barney and hooky have gotten pissed, sat in front of their computers, and said, 'right, let's see what those kids over at that website are saying about us today.'

I have a confession to make, guys: I'm Tony Wilson, fuck off the lot of ya!

:p :D

He's the Other Mr. Wilson, I had myself cloned (or did he have himself cloned? I can never keep it straight) in the late 70s, just for the hell of it. And if you believe that, I've got some lovely ocean front property in Switzerland I'd like to sell you.....

Inviting them back to your tin-roofed shed is even worse in the eyes of the law!
