I dont feel that the rules here are too strict. Imo there is a thin red line between destoying all discussions by too strict rules and making good and polite conversations possible by strict but not too strict rules (sorry, my English sucks).
I think you mods and admins did a great job in the past, it's the members who need to think about their acting.
Sometimes it seems that we're just a bunch of non-balanced kids gladly taking the opportunity to fight ppl with different opinions or reacting on every provokation.

But back on topic.... I am glad to see members who have been around for years still visiting the boards, regardless if they post or not.
Yeah I agree on that . It's good to see, and it is nice to see they sometimes come up with a post (like paulb about the German festival etc..)...ofcourse it would be nice if everybody would post often, but you'll never get that to happen..
It's just good that they stick around reading, and if a post will come up that they have an opinion about, they will probably post

I don't think the rules are to strict because if they would have been there's no chance I still would have been here.
Seriously, I believe that we will see loads of old faces popping us this summer ( the european ones ) and especially when the North american tour starts late this or early next year. As someone allready mentioned, nothing huge is going on at the moment, but members will come back once the ball starts to roll again.

I agree. I don't post much, but I do read pretty much every day. When Metallica came to Philly a couple years ago, I used to live there and went to every show, so I was posting a lot about that.
we're not talking about a lack of posts or nothing going on, Metdream was just bringing up that we have members that have been here since 2003 that still come around even though they dont post that often and was hoping a couple would see this thread and maybe say hi .
