View Full Version : The Reason For A Fan Forum
First of all, I have been coming on here for many years, and have enjoyed it so much.
Even the fights, drama, tantrums, bust ups etc etc,, it's all part of being a fan lol
I would like to thank R and he's merry helpers for giving us such a great place to come and talk shit!!! Lol, jokes aside it's appreciated.
We all have different opinions, beliefs, lives, but we are all fans at the end of the day.
Some will post things that not everybody will agree with, or not everybody will get on.
But most of the discussions are healthy and good natured, yes you will get snide and unpleasant comments the odd time etc etc,, but we get on with it!!
But!!! A fan forum is also a place where u can post what your feeling, ur opinion, a suggestion, or even what you may know? Post a joke or pay ur respects to a fellow loafer. And once a member stays within the rules and behaves etc etc,, there is no need for anybody to sheriff the boards ( mods excluded ). Every time somebody posts something or may pass on some genuine info, there is no need for a sheriff, too shoot down another. It's worth taking on board that some SHERIFFS don't know everything??? That others can on occasion know something, or even if they do want to post shit!!! Let them!!! Once it's within the laws of this splendid place!!!
Bravo

It can be very difficult to post things on here because there are those who jump on it like white on rice. It sucks, it's a huge deterrant. It causes many to lose hope and stop the conversation because your word can never exist without some sort of strong, persistent, obsessive counter argument. Some space for all to exist would rock. It is very sad that Nikox cannot share what he hears, which is more than most of us could dream of hearing through the grape vine, and as he has stated, is subjec to change and is rumor only, but as such, fan forums are the place to discuss that. But no, when he does, he is harassed into silence. Thank you Nikox for being brave...It really spikes my anxiety writing this, because i know i will be shit all over for saying it, but there is a lot of repression on here at times, and it blows.
Thank u:D
Ahhhh I'm not upset, but as you say it's better to say nothing!! But then again its a forum? So it's important to say stuff lol.
I have always posted that I have no inside MEGA info!! But I work in the industry as such, and colleagues know I'm a big fan of Meat, so I get bits and pieces. But not only me gets the roll of the eyes, if people want to post funny stuff etc etc, example Warrio :D, he's great entertainment and he's hearts in the right place. Let them, I just feel because Meat didn't say it? It can't be true. Or a person who works with a label knows F€€K all, because it didn't come from the holy oricle it ain't true. I look back at times and see did I write or say something far fetched, but I think I'm in the clear on that.
No disrespect intended, but how many times has Meat himself said it was he's last tour? :D, 2003, 2006, 2013, things change all the time? Does it make him a liar?
If I was saying bad stuff about the Artist I would understand, or preaching far out claims of knowing stuff that I dont, or saying I know what Meat had for dinner the 2nd Saturday of June etc etc,, I could even understand lol.

Nikox, You always go to the nth degree to say HEY GUYS ITS JUST RUMOR, IT COULD CHANGE, IT IS NOT FACT, but here's the tidbit I heard.
By that point in time, you've done your due dilligence as a fan and as someone more in the know than most.
When you are subsequently reacted to like some sort of irreponsible, impatient person spreading gossip, I find it truly frustrating, as you, just as they, have done your due dilligence in warning that this word A) Is not to be trusted as fact, and B) Could change tomorrow.
I would appreciate a little more respect towards a valued member of the club. I think after being here nearly 10 years as a guest/real member, I can at least help achieve a little bit of change in that regard. Nikox has been here around the same length of time, has my utmost respect and is a very friendly, good natured person to have here. He knows how to present the info so fans don't get overly excited, and I think it is time we really start appreciating the caution our main members all have towards new album developments.
Sure, the odd newbie will come on and might read into something incorrectly, in which case, we can all help to show them the truth, but the rest of us are seasoned at waiting for albums, and we know news changes up to the last minute with many projects Meat is involved with.
Thanks for the kind words:D
Well either way no new album until 2016, I'm not saying anything about a possible tour!!! :D

Well, I just want to say thanks for giving us any kind of update, rumour or whatever. And I'm glad there's lots of discussion on the forum again at the moment.
Nikox, what a lame ass post this is. And just so you provide yourself an ecxuse that you can keep boring us with your stupid rumours. Go shame yourself!
Nah, I'm kidding :-D
Besides I enjoy anything that is said, Meat related. Even stuff I disagree about. An the info/rumours about the album, for me, are a great way to keep me anticipating. Especially when it's this quiet around Meat

When I look back at it.... You have a point lol
I was just letting off steam I guess, Lord I wish I knew all the stuff that's delayed it or what's on it etc etc,, but I have always just posted the changing release dates ( and have been correct ) posted the odd little rumour, and just because The Idustry!!! Say things or claim things - I am not saying this came from the Artist themselves.
There are strong suggestions they want Meat to tour the new record ( but of course they do ) money money money. There are people in The Industry!! That believe it or not want a return for their investment, so it's there job to hype up releases and make money etc etc,, so I just think it's ok to post the odd bit of info.
And Yesssss - anticipation and rumour, discussion and hype make it more exciting for us fans.
