I wonder if they mean "not enough blind ass-kissing"? If they mean negativity among fans they could have easily solved that by employing a REAL moderator. Thank you Ves for repeating what I have been screaming for the last 24 hours....thankfully I'm not the only one who sees it this way xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Errrr.....isn't a lot of the supposed negativity just people expressing opinions. Would think that the hacking incidents have had quite a bearing on the decision to close the boards
Here's a first posting from another DD.com survivor

So, if I understand it correctly. We're supposed to not comment when we see Simon pulling someone's thong from their jeans in a public bar? We're supposed to not comment on what a piece of crap Duranduranmusic.com is. We're supposed to not comment on the fact that they can't keep a band together and Andy leaves every 20 minutes? Hey, you're famous. You took the candy and now you want to complain about it? Get over yourselves. I'm seen you live almost 30 times and the truth is, without fans like me, you'd have disbanded years ago. It's not like you're the hottest thing or have been since 7 @ the RT. To censor us because you don't like what you hear is pathetic and makes me question why I've followed you over the years and that is saying a lot. I will NOT go to Duranduranmusic.com out of pure principle. Michelle I agree.

Yep, I joined DD.com only about 2 or 3 months ago and I thought it was a pretty good site but not without the message boards. How are the band going to find out how their fans feel now?
They get a lot of praise but should be prepared for the stick and the fans are only going to tell them how it is.

I had that thought too CyFy.... but it most be more than that. How hard can it be to find a Mod with thick skin? I can think of several people up to the job.

It's the tone of the dismissal message that is sticking in my craw. .....just add that to the list of other things that haven't been handled well lately.

I suspect the reason they shut the board was because Sarah, the previous moderator, left and the new moderator couldn't handle the job. So it was easier to shut the board. Yes, I think this is exactly the reason they are closing the site down. They don'twant to pay someone a proper wage for doing the job. Get someone who is impartial to the band (not a fan) and pay them an honest descent wage like other boards do.

Why only have one moderator then? Why not share the job and lighten the load?
More importantly why make us suffer?
