I'd really like to see a section devoted to Ray's solo work, tour dates, etc. It's great to have other categories, too, but right now he's an important artist who doesn't have a presence on the net. A Dave category would be good, too, for those who don't find there way to his official site.

We have a nice one. Just check the threads until you find "Chat Room." The first post has a link to the room.

This place, I must say,I feel has been taken over as a private clique for some who decided to leave the "gray board." My experience is that this is no sunny side. It was a test to see who is in the "right" club. The karma feature is nasty. I really don't think you can make any improvements which will fix this underlying problem. I think the only hope is that the "new" gray board will eventually be proven to be the new board authorized by Ray. Everyone can reunite on that board. If the action here drops off suddenly, that will be why. Its features, by the way, would be what I would ask you to do for this board if I were tempted to join it. Everyone is welcome here. It was intended as a space for all Kinks fans, and still is. I'd be happy to see the karma/smite buttons go, since they've caused ill feelings.

Its a shame several of you feel that way. What's worse is that you would leave such barbed, negative comments in anonymous mode. That's like a SMITE to everyone here.

Ray has not told the general public this wish. I would like to know what makes this board official Aeron. It says Does Ray ever tell the general public anything? As I understand it, Ray told certain chosen members/ floozies/crows from the old gray board this wish I'd also be interested to know more about the official status of the fan club and this board. I've checked the fan club website and this link kinks.it.rit.edu/okfc/about.html states; . As it stands, Ray may not wish us to post here either - does anybody know? OKAY!!! WAIT JUST A COTTON-PICKIN' MINUTE!! If there are any FLOOZIES here corresponding with RAY, I WANNA KNOW ABOUT IT AND I MEAN RIGHT NOW!!!!! just kidding! ;D But really, I too, would appreciate any input from the man himself on where he wants me to OFFICIALLY be cause that will be where I belong!!!

One person not "several" posted they felt that way. Perhaps the anonymous guest felt that they would not be treated good in the future if they weren't anon because they disagree with things.
Ray Davies does have a place on the internet devoted to his artistic works on the forum with the chat board. The chat room belongs to the administrator of another message board not this board. The board with the chat room appears to have all the features that are being requested here.

Which is terrific. We've all been hoping for a moderator and aeroncole has indicated that he/she'd be gracious enough to serve in that capacity. A definite step in the right direction.

Now that you mention it, Nic, I like the idea of separate Dave and Ray topics. And then another one just for The Kinks.
I'm on another board that has a separate topic for Sports, mostly baseball. Somehow I don't think that would get much traffic here...
It would be nice if links to Dave Emlen's site and Dave's board could be done as stickies at the top of appropriate topics. Then visitors could find their way to those useful sources of information.

Thanks Aeroncole. What the others said: No guests posting and no Smite button.

seriously, if your talking to Ray, you better fess up. Rose I talk to Ray all the time in my head, he just never talks back. Is that bad? Does Ray ever tell the general public anything? As I understand it, Ray told certain chosen members/ floozies/crows from the old gray board this wish I'd also be interested to know more about the official status of the fan club and this board. I've checked the fan club website and this link kinks.it.rit.edu/okfc/about.html states; . As it stands, Ray may not wish us to post here either - does anybody know? OKAY!!!

I think you have proven "guest's" point. "guest" was wise to post anonymously, out of self-preservation. Looked like an honest critisism to me. Maybe it hit a nerve. How could this person ever feel welcome here now? All part of the fallout from the partial splitup of the gray board. Sad. Maybe that's why "guest" is looking for a fresh start for everyone on a third, new board. To leave the trauma and drama behind and get back to the KinKy fun. Seemed to happen most magically when everyone was on 1 board.

Yes, all of the hurtful guest comments have cut me to the bone. I hope you are happy now.

Sharon,
I think many people do feel welcome here, partially because of you. ANYONE is free to post here and more than welcome to do so. If people feel slighted-thats on them. This board isn't a secret. I left the other board because the "happy go lucky" feel of the board was changing rapidly. Many personal attacks were taking place that were uncalled for and certainly not productive. I think the good natured vibe of the other board has returned but it was not a pleasant place for while.
I think if you have something to say, have the maturity to post who you are. Everyone is posting to make the board a better place for all kink/ray/dave fans. If you are worried about what you are posting, perhaps you need to rethink it.
If you can't contribute to the solution, don't be a part of the problem.
