Then why quote me while making your statements, and then reference it saying it made you feel protective? If my post had nothing to do with yours then don't quote it. I still would have replied though, as you were still wrong in your statements.

What caused the indignation is how quick they are to get in touch through a third party when it's useful for them, and they want us to do something, and THEN not acknowledging the site in return.

Didn't they link to here on the official site as 'their' forum once, hence why it's now 'The Independent Manics Forum'? Or was that another WEK fuck up?

Great, if you want to elaborate on that vague explanation to add some weight to that post then please do.

As it is, I remain unsurprised at their dislike of the Forum.

If the Manics and their entourage don't like the forum, I think it's time you considered changing the main Manics section to a Justin Bieber one to show them they need you more than you need them. And it's quite obvious that most of us want to move up to something more mature and sophisticated than what the Manics can currently offer us, so Justin is a good bet.

I actually remain quite surprised about a lot of things, tonight. Disappointed, too.

What happened to all the jazz hands?!

Hows about people get a petition going to the band instead of ripping each others heads off?

Don't you think that if Finn wanted to elaborate, then she might already have done so?

Finn (and a number other people who perhaps don't post here much nowdays) went to great lengths to keep this forum alive, maybe these days that doesn't mean anything, who knows...but I know it means something to some people.

I don't want to speak for people, this is just my opinion.

Tell you what, why not ask another mod, because it's pretty obvious from 'vague explanation' that you don't believe me, but that's fine because I don't feel the need to prove anything to you.

It's hardly vague is it? The bands publicist/s inform FD when a new single/album is being released and basically order them to say positive things about it.

Yes, but I'm sure you would agree that for a statement to have any clout in an argument it needs to be something more than a vague reference. She may not, as it sounds more controversial in the simplistic way she was worded it, and people cannot counter-argue against something with such a lack of detail.

It's a great forum, very useful in Manics fandom. I never said it wasn't.

Edit: Nice to see Matthew has filled in those obvious details though! Seriously, I'd like to hear the full story but I probably won't.
