Who's Your Favorite Member on The Boards?, Let's keep things positive. Options

[LiveForNow]

There's been a ton of fighting between members lately, so I wanted to turn things in a more positive direction.

The questions is simple. Who is your favorite member on the boards?

Mine is Dangum. Dan, I'm blown away and extremely grateful for how much multimedia you post and how you keep great records of each show. I also really appreciate that you stay neutral during the fighting. I hate message boards where you have to agree with the opinionated mod, and Dan you don't do that in the slightest.

Other honorable mentions are VoodooLady and Pokey/VivaPokey. VoodooLady because we tend to have similar opinions and she can often articulate what I'm thinking. She also loves the band and is enthusiastic about its future, but holds them to a very high standard and doesn't apologize for their shortcomings. Pokey because, while I disagree with many of his opinions, I think he articulates the anti-Ed/pro-CCCP arguments really well - unlike some other members who just bash the band without being constructive.

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting too. I'll add them as I remember.

And PLEASE let's not turn this into a "Who's your least favorite member?" thread.

Wow, thank you so much LiveForNow. I’m flattered.

I, too, appreciate and respect dangum. Without you upkeeping the board, I would literally have no one/no place to shoot the breeze about Live & for that I’m grateful.

I smile when I see the following people logged in:

Heather- She’s pretty quiet, but she’s an UBER fan of the band. When she has something to say about Live, pay attention because it’s profound. I’ve gotten to know her over the years here and she’s a cool chick. I honestly consider her my Live BFF.

LiveForNow- I really enjoy when you post. You keep the board a happening place with the creative threads you start. My favorite was your contest one. Like, that was really generous of you to offer prizes. You’ve got intelligent, well-said, fair responses to things and yea, I agree with 99% of the things you have to say.

Hoodstock-As his title says, he’s the voice of reason. To me, he seems the veteran of the board (MVP) and really smart about the band.

throwing cheetahs- He’s been kinda quiet lately, but I enjoy when he pops in. He always has great questions or is pointing out something we haven’t noticed.

mattyeagles-He posts things I also agree with. Great minds think alike.

mfitz-He probably can’t stand me because we don’t agree hardly on anything, but I enjoy what he has to say and his sense of humor.

World Dreamer-Yes, this is surprising to most of you I’m sure, but I was kind of bummed to see him leave the board. He was so pro-Chris that it was infuriating, but it was fun arguing with him as I found him hilarious.

I’m sure I left people out too, and I’m going to feel bad. But this is a fun place and personalities really do shine through on people’s posts.

Mine is SJN1279. How a nearly 40 year old dude can feel good about being a cheerleader for 4 nearly 50 year old dudes is beyond me, but this guy does it with a smile!

Mine has to be LikeIDo21 !

Does anyone know who he is? His posts always kinda make me feel like he is one of the guys from the band posting in cognito! lol! Seriously... when Im reading SJN1279's posts, I'm always picturing Chad T in a dark room, with a hoodie popped up on his head getting furious reading our posts!

Haha, no that wouldn’t make sense . SJN1279 wasn’t the biggest supporter of TGF or the CCCP-version of LIVE when they were around

Well then, maybe it's Ed in the dark room with the hoodie! That makes more sense!

I’m going to imagine that if Chad or Ed ever post in here, it’s the members who come out of nowhere, with either an outlandish comment to throw us off the trail we are on or say something eerily spot-on. Two that come to mind: Grandfalloon and Old Man Withers. Fun to think about, anyway.
I’m a firm believer Chad T. at least reads. He made a tweet or Facebook post about some old archive videos we were talking about in here one time. It was too close in time to us to talking about it to be just a coincidence.

I know who he is, although I've never actually met him face to face so, hmmmmm.........

[Pokey]

Merica - Level headed, able to convey thoughts close to my own in a much better way than I can and I always dig his level of critical thought. Never found a post of his to be a waste of time reading.

Dangum - For his tireless efforts in collecting and making bootlegs available of the band (particularly in the years when they were a good band). Not to mention his patience in dealing with us bunch of juvenile F’wits in the darkest years of the band split.

There’s been heaps over the years, off the top of my head Edstipe, +Ed+, Tabucky, Existentialist, MrMcpheezy, RedCaboose, WorldDreamer, Fish etc.

The band might be a bore now, but what’s left of the fan base is pretty fascinating.

Whatever happened to Liverocks and MetsOwnYou/SinfulEyes?

Dude I'm right here. I second the choice for SJN1279. We should all honor his unwavering love for Ed.

[Existentialist]

Why haven't you been roasting the new Live and Nick more man?

Haha. I've been lurking mostly lately and taking it all in. Also it pretty much goes without saying the new song stinks. I'm hoping there's something decent on the new album.
