Well, not being a teenager anymore, my love for a band consists mainly of love for the music, so offering pictures and NON-music video as the only exclusive content of a paid site was a bit lame in my opinion, and I will not be paying for that again.

Personally, I don't really think it had anything to do with the Duran kids. To shut down your bands message board because of something like that would just be silly. I mean, you're famous, people are gonna talk smack about you and your family. Get over it.

But you can't have no censorship AND no negativity. They need to make up their minds. That's precisely the point. It makes no sense to be anti-censorship and then get pissy because you don't like what some people say. They really need to man up.

I think they were simply not bothered enough to put some effort to run a free board when they can milk fans over at DDM.com. I think you hit the nail on the head here.....makes you wonder if this is just another event in a series of cash grabs by Duran Duran - maybe they feel the next album is their last....?

Whine Whine et al. are 100 percent on target. I have a vision of the egos of DD as giant blimps and every bit as fragile.

These lads have an interesting way of handling their PR! I guess they're counting on winning many more fans than they're pissing off/losing.

Well, as most of you know it really isn't about the band for me anymore. I hang around because of all the wonderful people i've met. DD can go screw themselves as far as i'm concerned. I'm getting more and more dissappointed in them everyday. This is just something else to add to it.
I feel the board was taken down because they felt there was too much negativity toward the band and that might drive new fans away. They are hoping they will gain new fans from this T/T collaboration. Plus, it is a sucker way to get the new fans to join DDM. Maybe i'm wrong, but I wonder.

OK, there were *moments* of negativity on the board, but hey, isn't that just LIFE? Why dismantle an entire board of hundreds of posters because of some negativity? What, is it all supposed to be some extreme love-fest, complete with puppies and rainbows? Absurd...
