Gun Shy Assassin

Hell no I don't think they should shut it down. That's the first place I go when searching for band news.

I think some of you guys are being kind of ridiculous to say the least. Even if Eric's main motivation was financial, who cares? At the end of the day, how many of you are required to pick up the several hundred dollar per month tab that is required to keep this place going?

It's been blatantly obvious that this forum isn't a big part of his life in terms of being a contributing member. How often do you see him post about anything GNR or Anything Goes related? I'd suspect that his biggest motivation to keep this forum would be mostly due to the status that it gives him (owner of the biggest GNR site) and the perks that it may bring (backstage passes, etc).

Plus, none of us know for sure what transpired behind the scene. Maybe someone from the band or management did contact him and say "hey, sorry if we gave you the impression that we wanted you to close" and in turn made the donation. I suppose that alone may have satisified most of the concerns that he originally expressed.

In the end, it's only a forum. I wouldn't waste too much time speculating about his true intentions since the final outcome allows you to continue posting here when you wish and at no cost to you.

C&D letters are not confidential seely.

I was about to say the same. I received one from Axl's lawyers back in 2008 that I'll post later tonight.

It isn't as interesting as some are making it out to be. I believe it came from a law office on Rodeo Drive.

I believe the charge they were threatening me with was 'Incitement to Infrigement' (something like that).
