Freaks4Live site Options

This site sure has been quiet lately.. I just checked the Freaks4Live site, thought maybe something would be going on over there. Sadly, just a recent post from someone complaining about his photos being used w/o credit. http://freaks4live.com/forum/topic/copyrighted-image-use

When is that place going to get moving?

I just desperately want what is best for this band and for the fans. I am passionate about Live. I have been a member of this message board since around the time it first launched and I will be until I die or they pull the plug on the internet. I want an official message board on the band's site that is usable and I want it to become active. I wanted the band to build momentum after the Dress Rehearsal Show and put some effort into fan appeasement by posting messages, following through on promises, offering fans participation in the activities, posting videos.

Is this new phase of Live going to be big? Or is it going to be a short-lived hobby of the band members? Is it something worth the effort to put their best foot forward and launch it the best way they know how, with everything they've got?

Cause as a fan, that's what I want from it. And Chad writes eloquent words, but I get disheartened when it doesn't seem like it is backed up by action.

Yesterday I listened to Throwing Copper in its entirety. And I mourned the loss of old Live. I mourned the loss of what was. And I teared up a little. I listened to Lightning Crashes when I would drive to and from the hospital when my mom died. And my daughter was born shortly after that. And Lightning Crashes reminds me of that experience. It is a powerful, emotional song for me because of that and those feelings it stirs. And I teared up a little.

So what's next for Live? Can I get a special feeling again from something new? I've been sold on it. I believed in it. But for Pete's sake, I want something more right now. I am not feeling appeased.

"Insiders" may feel appeased because they are in the know and see progress. But maybe it is tough for them to see it from the "Outsiders" perspective. We are just seeing tumbleweeds, and we come to this site everyday for months (and years) to have a circle-jerk.
