We have disappeared

This forum is not on the links page of the official site this evening, nor are any of the fan sites. Is this permanent? Hope not.

I hope we get some sort of explanation. I know a certain 2 people were not happy with us, but is this not going a bit too far? WE are the ones who go to the gigs, buy the merchandise, albums etc. Are they not shooting themselves in the foot? IF it is permanent, then Eddy's site will get a lot more hits I think.


Edited- I have sent Tina an email asking why my link has gone, only 2 weeks after putting it up. Watch this space-though probably nothing will happen. My email will probably be deleted unread, as it is not music related.

Who are the certain two?  Bob and his manager? 


I'm not too surprised.  How dare anyone be critical!  Not sure how Eddy's site will get a lot more hits as that link has gone as well!

Because Geldof doesn't want us.   He knows he can sell gigs out in obscure locations and make enough ca$h out of it to not worry about cancelling gigs at Shepherd's Bush and various other locations in the UK with the accompanying bad publicity.

I think disowned would have been a more appropriate title

I'd say there were at least four people against continuing any sort of relationship with us.  Bob, his tour manager, and Ian/Tina.


Scottie, this decision was personally approved by Bob.  Fact.


Mrs Ratsinger, they're doing it because from their perspective, the purpose of .info is to provide what they consider RELEVANT information, which apparently means tour dates, merchandise and some infrequently updated news.  That's all.  


An association with fans is considered more trouble than it's worth. Apparently the things we post on this forum, as well as the general content of other fan sites, is not deemed "relevant".

I have heard from Tina about this. Seemingly Pete Birquette has had a bit to do with it. See my post on the above thread.(hate his fans)

You're not Mouse, you've hardly been around for months. If someone is trying to drag you into this ignore them. They may have clicked on your name in error.

Don't worry about it It wasn't aimed at anyone you just had a much needed vent.

And great to have you back, Derek The Dane! There was a minor exodus from the forum following the link being cut from nogeldof.info, so any 'new' (old) members are very welcome.  Pity it took so long to find the forum again - it makes me wonder how we're ever going to attract new people ...
