You used to be able to go through hundreds of topics in an hour or two. Now you can only finish one or two well-populated threads in an hour or two.

David, if I understood what you were saying that would be a big start in weighing the advantages of going back to that format. Not that we could anyway, unless Vbulletin allows it.

If we add a new forum for the new line up, what would you like to call it.

I am getting ready to rename Lindsey’s Forum to Thrown Down.

You New Line up people tell me what you want a new one called. You detractors need not nominate names. I already know what you’re thinking.

Why not wait it out to see whether this line up lasts more than 12 months?

At the very least, a Behind The Mask situation where they're putting out a fresh album seems highly unlikely.

I think everyone's money is on this fizzling out after this tour.

The Rumours phenomenon is its own thing and rightfully deserves its own forum. Whether the current tour lineup can be dealt with sufficiently in the otherwise underactive Post Rumours forum, or it's worth creating a whole new forum for it, I'll leave up to the owner/mods and Sugar Mouse.

LOL!

Themed names can be fun, but everybody's getting so weird about the forum breakdowns. Maybe to placate everybody's weirdness, we just assign every forum a duration in years.

• 1967-1974 (group Green and Welch years because after all, how many divisions does a band site need?)
• 1975-1987
• 1987-1992
• 1994-1995 (or omit this stretch entirely!)
• 1997-2018
• 2018-year that John dies (macabre but practical)

Or we could pattern the forum divisions after Andrew Sarris and his directors' categories:

• Pantheon
• The Far Side of Paradise
• Fringe Benefits
• Less Than Meets The Eye
• Lightly Likable
• Strained Seriousness
• Oddities
• One-Shots
• Newcomers
• Subjects for Further Research
• Make Way for the Clowns
• Miscellany

Come now, David.
We all know that Mick will keep touring with a cardboard cutout of John.
