It might be our only opportunity to discuss new music from a Guns related band that doesn’t feature Myles Kennedy. Disclaimer - I by no means intend to turn this into an AC/DC forum. Those guys are worse than we are. Sincerely, Ethan Hunt I don't have an issue with the proposal. Ultimately though it's up to @downzy how he wants to organise the section and future AC/DC discussion that doesn't feature Axl directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azifwekare Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Just an idea here. Due to the current stuation we have in which pretty much every GNR video that gets posted to the forums just so happens to get removed soon after, is there a way for a function to be emplemented in which only signed in users are able to see Youtube videos, for example? A lot of other forums have this function with things such as links and embedded media being hidden when signed out. I understand there's probably a desire for the forums to remain inclusive, but something like this would, in theory, be a good short-term solution. It's frustrating for us not to be able to share cool videos we find here due to the high likelihood of a certain someone getting them taken down.

The people involved in takedowns have held multiple accounts here over the years, some get get spotted but inevitably others go undetected. It wouldn't make any difference in the end to limit viewing to signed in members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not that simplistic, there are fairly easy ways around IP addresses. We aren't unique here in that respect, it's an internet wide problem for any site that is commentary based.

Lio Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Can we have the strictly Slash threads in his subsection again? Seems a bit silly to have a subsection like that if everything, from concert reviews to the new album, goes in the main section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a discussion about this and are going to move things around a bit to try and accommodate everyone. Now Slash is back in GNR it's hard to draw a total line between Guns and solo stuff so we'll try to go for a balance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I think the problem is that the Slash section is currently just a sub-forum in the Jungle section, and the new replies won't even appear on the main page. Maybe the Slash sub-forum could be upgraded to a section like the AXL/DC one? And maybe also there could be another separate section for other members' side projects, because right now the Jungle section has a bit of everything?

Yeah, I always read the forum via the 'unread' button, so I'll see new posts, no matter if they're in the cricket thread or any subforum. The 'problem' is if I've read something and I want to go back to a thread, I can hardly find it, as I try to fins an SMKC thread in the Slash forum, not in the main one. Never mind if you want to look something up from weeks ago. It will be hidden under heaps of threads in the GNR section, with which it doesn't have anything to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The Slash section has been moved to sit as a subform of D&N. We felt this made it more accessible to everyone. I've moved a few threads across, anything that is all or mostly solo/SMKC stuff should go in there. Anything more general or Guns related stays in D&N. It's not an exact science but I hope it's a compromise that keeps most people happy. 5 hours ago, Blackstar said: I think the problem is that the Slash section is currently just a sub-forum in the Jungle section, and the new replies won't even appear on the main page.

We moved it to D&N subforums in part so the posts will now show up on the sidebar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Dear staff, I want to inform the GN'R community about this page: http://www.a-4-d.com/t2861-interview-and-article-index#11271 I think many fans would find it interesting. There aren't any other place where you can find such an exhaustive collection of articles and interviews on GN'R, and many of the articles are unique to our site after we have bought the magazines off eBay ourselves or subscribed to online resources that give us access to historical issues of rock magazine. We also transcribe all video and audio interviews as we add them. So, in which section of mygnrforum can I post about this link with some info? Are you okay with me starting a thread in the main section? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alt Nation has repeatedly used posts on this forum as the basis for news articles that only serve the purpose of driving traffic to their site. Zero credibility or standards. Easily the worst click-bait sites on the web. If a news story or rumour has any credibility, it will appear on another site. Otherwise anything reported on Alt Nation should be given no consideration. As such we do not allow links to their site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanMILO Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Can't we just block YouTube videos from the Discussion and News section?
