Why does the Gossip Board delete everything older than 2023?

What difference does it make? We’re still talking about the same stuff.

Crazy Nights production.

LA Guns band members.

I thought the M3 thread would be more exciting but that seems to be DOA. I don’t know why. It looks like a good lineup to me.

Edited. Yeah, it’s how we lost the Carb Day and OG Ramsey Roxx threads, which is a huge blow to Sludge, if you ask me.

And Michael Hott. CAWW!

I’ve asked the main man about five times and never been given the courtesy of a reply.

Don't bother asking him what the hell Ruck a Pit Bridge is, either.

The last replies for the threads on the last page of the Gossip Boards are in late 2023 or early 2024. While it's obvious this forum is different than the other ones, if nobody gives a shit about a thread for a year, it deserves to disappear. Appoint keyofgee or dmbrocker to be in charge of checking for threads about to drop off the Gossip Board and bump them accordingly.

Nah that’s bullshit. Threads at Hoffman go back twenty fucking years. And KISSFAG almost that long as well. There’s no good reason to dump them, a bunch of that stuff is historically important. You always had the CEO post and sticky a thread about how cool it was looking on Archive.org at the old main page, why can’t we do the same on the board? Sadly Archive typically doesn’t work on forums.

There's 0.0 historically significant things on this board. None. Zero. Everything should be deleted after a month! The fact that you care enough to go look at your old posts and care so much about them tells me everything I need to know about you. Imagine giving a fuck that your posts are no longer on a message board.

He could print them out like people used to do with Mapquest. Put them up on the refrigerator or store them in a safe deposit box. Tell his kids and grandkids about that one time a post had over 500 replies. Life highlights! It all goes downhill once it disappears from the Gossip Board.

"Uncle Bernie, tell us again about the time you made fun of Paul Stanley's kid and how people said it was the best sludge ever!"

You should have bought the Gossip Board when Stevie had it for sale.

Really.

• Carlos blowing smoke signal queefs out of his pussy
• P13's review about licking hookers Sweet Kim and Nikki's assholes before Poison's Carb Day extravaganza
• Metal Hot Girl pimping Fifi Larue
• The Globman chick's blurry photos
• IPWI prolly said something interesting at one point.


You call those not historically significant??

It's actually pretty dumb and annoying for the few of us that actually still use this board. I've bookmarked a few threads about D-list or hidden gem artists that have some good suggestions in them. Try to explore some of them when I have time, go back and check the thread again and it's gone. Can't imagine these things take up any signifcant amount of space or increase web hosting costs in 2025. Very sloppy just like the home page that has bad links, red Xs and coding errors littering all the old "classic" interviews.

I was going to save the photos and post them on another board because someone asked me to, if you want to know.

Contemporary album and concert reviews, Great White tragedy as it unfolded in real time, Dio death, EVH death, funny shit about Wolfgang, shits and giggles about stupid shit … all that stuff is gone because of a setting on the board.

Or, like I said before - it probably isn’t, it’s just set to not display and we just can’t see it.

Who thinks, "I wonder what was written on the Gossip Board when Dio died 15 years ago?" I always knew fans of this genre lived in the past and had difficulty moving on, and you're living proof. It's 2025, who gives a shit what GlitterDoll469 wrote about Dio dying in 2010.

You want to make fun of people going to Kiss meet n greets, meanwhile you're crying over meaningless posts being erased from a message board. If you actually think this place is gonna be around forever, you're dumber than the Kiss fans you make fun of.

Here's an idea. Start your own forum. Start your own board. Keep posts for 30 years! Have a ball.

Here’s an idea, suck my cock!

No thanks, I'm allergic to shrimp.
