not meaning to bust your chops or discredit you in any way shape or form, mm, i'm not even registered at LK nor have I ever been there except for just now to check the seriousness you claim they have, cos if that was true, i'd sure as hell would like to be a part of it. so, to start, over there, there is one forum for each band member, and in simon's forum (the only one i opened) there's a thread called The Gorgeous SLB picture thread. And in the DD forum, I really can't see much difference from the one here. Hey, there's even a thread about simon's white jacket. Regardless, to the people who run LK: congratulations! The more the merrier, you're def doing a good job. You may not have looked too closely, but most of the threads you mentioned, particularly in the individual member boards, are fairly old and don't get updated very often at all. LKDD has been around in some form or another, for more than ten years now. The people there have changed, the mood of the forum has changed, and it isn't really what it appears to be. Heck, aside from a couple of game threads, I haven't seen much activity at all in the individual member boards. The little cliques that used to stay in just one band member forum without participating in any of the others, are now few and far between. There is definitely a lot less oogling over the band members than there is here, or even than there used to be there. (That might be partially due to the fact that the male to female ratio, at least of the more regular members, has shifted quite a bit in recent years). But I wouldn't say it's any more serious there either. It's just different. In fact, what I find quite interesting is how often the exact same topics come up both here and at LK, and then how those topics can go off into completely different directions. What might start a fight on one board, could be completely cordial on the other. One thing is for sure though, both boards are well run, well populated, and fun enough to visit often, at least for me. It's good to see they're both going strong. I've seen far too many DD fan forums die slow and painful deaths just purely by the lack of interest.

Sure, I tried it...but I went back to the original. ;D Outside of the aforementioned boards of course, it's hard to find one stilll running that isn't extreme in its adulation or hatered of the band. Like badly mixed Coke at a fast food place - either too much syrup or too much residual cleaning fluid. Both here and LK are refreshingly balanced. *eta: Puns very much intended. *eta2: I'm not a member there, but I've heard that the board at ddm.com is very much a "rose-colored glasses" kind of place. Is that true or just an exaggeration?

I'm a Cherry Coke Zero man too (love classic coke.....but keepin' calories down). Just another odd thing we have in common moonman.

Too bad you aren't close, we could have a Cherry Coke together! LOL!!! Have you tried Pibb Zero? That's good too...but it's hard to find. I've only been able to find it at one grocery chain nearby...and I've never seen it or Cherry Coke Zero in a restaurant.

Why won't you register? You have to register to post here...
Only thing to make the picture look better is to have a big BARN OWL sitting on LeBon's shoulder...BWAHAHAHA!!
Or a carrier pidgeon (the preferred method of delivering the first Duran single) with a tag around it's neck that says "Andy Taylor Badass".
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
