Fogy Malone Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I visit this forum every day and love the place. I've visited other forums but this ones easily the best & I don't think that I will join any other site.The last two times I saw the band I found out about the tour & venues from this place & this forum has also helped maintain my interest in GN'R.I don't think there's any other band in the world who would wish for their biggest fan site to be closed down, but with Axl in total control of GN'R nothing surprises me!Hopefully if the band ever reunites & reaches it's true potential then MYGNR can rise from the grave! Take care everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ags_rule Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Gonna miss this place...I never posted very often as mostly all that can be said has already been said, but I read it virtually every day. Been here for all the leaks, the release, the tours...lot of good memories. For me, GNR and mygnrforum will always be virtually inseparable.

Anonymity Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 while it's pretty fair to say that this forum has kept GNR alive for many of us, the band will not die once the board is gone. heck, i even hope to come around here for some many years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysteron Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Fellow GNR fans,It is with regret to inform you that mygnrforum.com GNR Fan Forumwill be closing as of Friday April 15th.Running mygnrforum.com since December 31st 2001 has been fun for a long time. It’s made me discuss and meet a whole lots of great GNR fans from all over the world (you know who you are), it’s also gave me the opportunity assist many GNR concerts for free, meet the band and Axl Rose.In recent years, some aspects have grown to be whole lot less fun: leaks, lack of communication from management, even lawyer letters from the band. Those I lived with and became accustomed to.Running internet Forum for a large website such as mygnrforum.com (38,452 members) and ten times more fans visiting (guests) requires expensive servers for which the monthly costs are significant.Absence of promotion of Chinese Democracy, still no US tour, waiting for new material, the recession, are all factors which affect how much money can be made to offset the hosting fees which have been significantly higher than what ads and donations bring in.I do thank the few supporters who have made donations. Unfortunately, it’s something that never really took off as only few people were able to donate (190$ in the last year). Supporters who have made donations in the last year have been informed how they can get a pro-rata refund if they wish.So for many years now, I’ve been putting up my own money to help keep alive the Forum. This is a situation which I have discussed with GNR many times. Aside from expressing they want mygnrforum.com closed in the past, even after being offered, GNR has not shown any concrete interest in supporting and/or taking over the mygnrforum.com.Aside from not making any business sense to run the Forum, it’s grown to expose me as the owner of the site to lawyer letters threatening lawsuits. So it’s making sense to throw the towel now and just close the mygnrforum.com. I guess GNR will finally have what it has wanted for a very long time!I do believe that this was the best GNR fan Forum of all, with the best infrastructure, best moderating team and best forum members (GNR fans). It’s a shame that could not grow into something more. I often browse other band’s websites and fan forums and truly envy how those other bands have embraced the internet, fan forums, and fans! But not GNR unfortunately. I often think that the Forum could have been so much more for GNR. But then again GNR could also be so much more. But it’s currently not, and has not been for some time now. Great band, great music, great signer, but not so great marketing.Thank you all for your continued interest during the last 10 years, I truly hope all the GNR fans will be able to find a place to continue to exchange. Thank you to all the forum members who made mygnrforum such a great place over the years, and a special thank you to all the members of the moderating team (past and present) who have put so much of their time into this. Special thanks to Highvoltage, Montrealer and Madison for their implication over the years of running this place.I also wish all the best to GNR and to Axl Rose for the future.Eric Romano, adminPass Mygnr to someone else. It is part of GN'R internet history and should remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wicked Hand Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yea .. Certainly seems this place is special. I'm a certified newbie, but from the outside lookin in, it seems, there have been super good friendships, disussions, and times. It's obvios just hearing some posters interact.Hope somebody takes the reins of this Internet jewel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmike66 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 And I can understand Eric's position. It must suck to spend countless hours and money out of your own pocket to run a fan-forum, only to have the band and its "family" express disdain -- and then find yourself being hit with cease-and-desist papers for something out of your control. As HV said, it was extremely unnecessary -- and a big slap in the face. this is where axl went too far imo .... axl you control freak , you cant control the internet you foolish old man ... perhaps if you stopped surfing the internet seeing what people are saying about you and concentrated on putting out music and touring you had the potential to be a real rock star like angus young and so many others instead you are the but of so many jokes and always will be now .
