I'm gonna miss it. I hope the archives will still be available somehow. There was some really good threads and stories in there for what it was worth.

Well, after the ur-Marxist shitshow on the Terry thread I guess the Snews'ers can't say they weren't warned. :meh:

to get back to the topic for a second, what happened to the strummernews board is nothing new. anyone remembers london's burning, the road to rock'n'roll and the only website that matters? and even this board here had a massive crisis years ago for similar reasons - the admins loose interest after some time, their life situation changes, they have fall outs with members, they move on - it's pretty normal, and probably better for the admin's health :)
rat patrol described the situation on strummernews well in a earlier post.
i'm not going to defend anyone here, i rather compliment this community here for staying active for so long. the odds were against it!

Thanks for the rundown, Rats; indispensable for a longtime part-timer like myself. And the Strummernews tributes, just for the record, WERE a pretty nice thing over there. I used to hang there on a fairly regular basis...

Ha! Nahhh...you must be thinking of either Suzanne or the Aussie girl. I just turned 40 this past August. But I appreciate the thought! :mrgreen:
