"Different sections, no smiting, and only registered members have the ability to post, seem to be the critical changes this place needs. " Umm.....aren't all of those features on not one, but BOTH of the other forums? They are but both of the other places are Ray solo boards, many people here want a Kinks board with the same features. Umm, so why did they all come from Ray's board? This place was here a long time before you all showed up.

They are but both of the other places are Ray solo boards, many people here want a Kinks board with the same features. Umm, so why did they all come from Ray's board? This place was here a long time before you all showed up. What happened was that Martin posted the following comments (among others) on Ray's old board on 6 February in a thread called 'Time To Get A New Board'; I think it's time for a change. I've been looking at Proboards, and I agree with TomT - it looks the best option for the future. Of course this board will still be here for reference and as an archive, however no postings will be allowed. My proposal is that the new forum should be the 'bees-knees' Kinks fans forum. ...I think it's time for a proper Kinks forum run by the fans. To me the Kinks will always be the people's band, no one person will ever be bigger than the Kinks. Shall we try to get this running as soon as possible? Any tech-minded members wanna help get this rolling? Proboards looks straighforward to set up. On 7 February, TWPI responded to Martin by posting a link in that thread directing him to this board, presumably because, from Martin's comments, he didn't appear to be aware that there already was an established and official Kinks fan board on Proboards. MiaT then created familiar topics here to make members coming over from the old Ray board feel at home, as she explains in this thread kinksfanclub.proboards92.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1171376260. Following what came to pass on Ray's old board, which there is no need to dredge up here again, many members jumped that ship permanently. As Martin's comment re the old board remaining for reference/archive is now out of date and incorrect (the old board will be deleted), people here are trying to make this place their home and fill it with the sorts of things they previously posted on Ray's old board.

Another Guest guest, you say that the old board will be deleted. Do you know when? I'm sure there are people both here and there who might like to save a few PMs with addresses and such.

This is nothing more than confusion over some old posts. Martin wasn't being straight with us at that time. As far as I know, there is no such plan. He made a suggestion to us, but it was shot down resoundingly at that time. It may also be a misread of Guest Guest's language.
Martin has not spoken up since that famous week a couple of months ago. He is an absentee administrator/moderator and I doubt he is on top of what's going on or actively administering to the board at this point in time. Much like this one, no one is really attending to the old gray board. But I have heard of no plans to eliminate it by anyone in an administrative capacity.

Not to divert people back to old board, but Jack Jack posted some (quite a few) floozie-a-licious photos of Ray and the Kinks in the mid 70s. ;D Some truly superb photographs.
It's in the Miscellaneous topic, Ray gets his... ;D

I'd better say an official Kinks fan CLUB board. We're all posting here, but how many of us are actually "members of the club"?

If this board is intended only for fan club members then maybe there is also room for the sort of board that Martin proposed. Although, as the people who run this board took the decision to allow anybody to post, not just registered members, maybe that's an indication that it's open to all. Can the moderator clarify this for us?
