Good morning/afternoon people!!!!!

Necro...maybe the misses sneezed on you by accident?  I heard that's real love or some such nonsense.

I'm fighting with the common cold, which I seem to get every winter since my son was born.  Coincidence?  I think so.  Thank God for NyQuil (I got my alcohol in, DC!!!!)!

Good Morning, boys and girls. I see we have had a quiet evening and a VERY quiet morning! Good to see Necro back with us! Not sure I know what to say about the lovely mental image he offered regarding mucus...!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah well.

Took a look at that stupid Thread again and noticed TWELVE posts in it now. Of course, three of those are from the same person (nice going, 'Child) but I see that FIVE of our regulars have fallen into the trap that was set. Five. Unbelieveable. I just cannot understand why any thinking, rational member of this Board would assist in perpetuating moronic arguments. I had really thought so much higher of our group.

You see, by posting in that Thread, you continue its longevity. It remains and the creator continues to enjoy his act of stupidity. Meanwhile, new members join, see that we are actually responding to this nitwit, and a whole discussion on Rob leaving and Tim Owens being better ensues. I cannot be the only person here that sees this pattern. I cannot be the only person here that gets that.

Far be it from me to portray myself as the "Post Police", but if we are ever going to rid ourselves of vermin that get their jollies out of committing stupidity, we are going to have to IGNORE their freakin STUPID threads! It is just that simple. I refuse to believe that NO ONE else on this Board understands that.

O.J. Simpson has just been sentenced to 40+ years on ten counts of charges (all sentences of which served in concurrence or consecutively) for his involvement with that whole mess he got himself in...the kidnapping, brandishing (and...apparently use of) a deadly weapon, and all that other good shit.

All in all...O.J. is easily looking at 9-10 years SOLID...even if he survives his term, and is a good boy.

Karma....it's a bitch people....she takes names and remembers deeds...dig it!!!

While they run, head to head benchmarks show Vista to be some 35% slower in running apps and, worse for me, GAMES when compared with XP.

Mac OSX has made such a jump in marketshare when compared with buggy ol' Vista that Microsoft is now rumored to push up the release of the next operating system from 2010 to 2009.
Vista will go the way of Windows 2000, if you ask me or any of my tech-nerd friends.

Yup, I agree 100%. I manage a Mac lab and have it set up to dual boot with Windows. First thing I do when setting up a new machine is use a home-brew slipstreamed version of Windows that I have configured to my liking with all the drivers needed. NEVER include XP3 on that custom disk just as I would never think about installing that pig of a resource hog known as Vista (aka. Mojaveeeeeeee! LOL!). Avoid it.

Thanks for keeping me up to date Vail! The holiday season is like this: stress, stress, stress, and by the way did I mention a little more stress! I am not a shopper, I would go to the mall and shopping centers more often if they would let me taze unrullly shoppers! I was once in Wally World minding my own business, doing some shopping and a woman came and started tossing my stuff around and was going to take my cart! What is wrong with people these days.

What I meant to say In mt previous post.  and I didnt clarify it was  It was no-wonder it has been discussed  in the past that site may go down,    So please  I apologize, for starting any panic..   This site is not shutting down.. 


AS for the Imposters.. I wish people would quit trying to disrupt, the friendships here... This happend to me.. 
Some one came out here as THE METAL GODDESS..  a simuliar name.. but not the same.. and said a quote to some-one I considered a dear friend.. whatever they did or said ended that friendship.. And I  took the blame..  

SO I hope they are happy now..   ( the person who started the trouble.. )

People love to make other miserable... Misery loves company... as the saying goes..  
Which is why Iam so impressed with the tight knit community we all have here..  I must thank you all..  for your love and support.. and for sticking by me & one-another .. I am so glad we are all here for each other..

Love to you all....

Ok...I feel the need to throw my two cents in this conversation.  Oh wait...my ex has it.  That be-otch!

Seriously though folks, this whole topic is really disappointing.  Where Am I, while I respect your opinion, I think that if you look at other band sites (Megadeth and Iron Maiden to name 2), there are threads just like what we've got here.  Are those sites shutting down b/c of such frivolty?  Absolutely not!  Is the Def Leppard site shutting down b/c of a non-Def Leppard thread?  Nope.  So, if you don't like the non-JP-related threads, stay out of them.  That simple.  This whole discussion on is really pointless.  

We are all here b/c we want to talk to other JP fans, and it's human nature to discuss what's bothering them or what makes them happy or to create if given the outlet to do so.  

If you don't want to see the other threads, there is a little 'X' to the right of each thread heading that you can use to IGNORE threads that you do not want to see.  I am sure that it works quite well.

And that's my rant for the day.  Back to the Heavy Metal (what do you want?)

Agreed. Thats what I came here for too. Priest fans. And even though I would be hard pressed to remember when was the last time I actualy talked about Priest on this site, I think all of us still at all times know whats it all about.
And even though my endless debates with DF on all sorts of things usualy dont have any connection to Priest, we are still both Priest fans. 

I mean, even though this is a metal site, I think that pretty much all of us have other interests than Priest. Why shouldnt we discuss them? More important, if the site shuts down (although my impersonator repeatedly tells us that he has it all under control) what would I do when Im bored at work?

There are people who post here to increse their post count.  what a waste.  your right that respect points often work off of post count.  again, not right.  the whole respect point thing is unfortunate.

the south american fans, well, I cant speak for them, i dont know what the percentage of south americans have the net? 

the way I see it though, in person, you get to know people, thru what they say to you, and their actions.  I could get an email addy for someone who is a priest fan, trade emails, and know nothing about them.  I have met people that i know only from the board here, and i knew them first.  their actions here define them.  to me, the fans, not the band are the reason that this board needs to stay.

I'll throw in my two cents to the subject as a member of the other side of the age spectrum: young, stupid and still figuring out how the world works. 

I know my posts tend to be nothing but sinful pics of the band, word games, chatting, "spur of the moment" stuff and what I'm listening to at the moment, but I still remember the main reason why I came here in the first place: the fact that none of my friends have heard, or are into, Judas Priest. I come here in order to be at home with the people who love Judas Priest as much as I do. Finding Judas Priest fans whom I could talk to face-to-face is pretty rare in my part of the world, so this site is a helpful tool in finding such fans. In other words, it would really kill me if the Noticeboard closes down. Where AmI, I'm pretty sure that your idea of having only threads containing messages from JP and to JP is how the Noticeboard first began, but it just grew into the complex, close-knit, chatty community that exists today. There just isn't enough Judas Priest fanatics out there, dang it!! This is the place where friendships begin and frequently stay, because our love for the band is what keeps us here, random talk and everything. Granted, I'm not the person who broke a bone or two during a Priest concert, but the need for Judas Priest in my life is alive and kicking. Heck, I listen to them everyday!!

ok people....
ITS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE CHIEF WEBMASTER
HAS TAKEN CARE OF THE SITUATION!!!!
THE DRAMA IS OVER !!!!
COMMENCE TO POSTING!!!!

[.] Tuesday, December 02, 2008 7:09:40 PM 
I see your point and respect it: those are your choices to make as to how you contact friends. Everybody has their own preferences though I fail to see how this website is any more personal than the cellphone texting, email and instant messaging and I also fail to see how a different jp.com would change what you have going on with your friends and your lifestyle. I understand you and at the same time I don't get it.
I would assume that people don't adapt themselves to my preferences, so I don't expect them to. I really do think that many times this place is just talking to increase post count, and that is all. Unfortunately it seems a respect issue is directly related to how many worthless posts someone has under their belt too.
My deal is:
In November Judas Priest toured South America. How many south american heavy metal solid fans have decided to say hello here? Few, and how many really attended the concerts? Bunches. Where are the photos? The reviews? The active engagement of Judas Priest members here. KK Downing at least is making an effort but he is only one-fifth of JP and he's got his own website that he controls better. The other one is Rob Halford. Same thing. They don't seem to take the internet as their prime means to connect to people. They use it but it's by no means the only way. Thankfully, in that respect they're somewhat normal.

I really appreciated some feedback from Rob Halford a few months ago here. It felt for a moment like a good effort to please computer addicted morons like me.
My point is, though you are a very agreeable, thankfully intelligent and witty individual to whom is a pleasure to reply and whose posts I enjoy reading, guido, I still come here for news, photos, artwork by fans and overall fandom stuff and not to read through loads of small petty talk, nude pics of women, rude posts and such that the ignore button doesn't seem to keep me from reading through. I really don't like to feel an outsider to someone's conversations in a public forum where it's supposed to be for all.
If only Messages From Jp and Messages to Jp were the only features available, I think there would be a clearer ideal behind this place, and the overall personality disorders that shine through like a beacon in the night around here (guilty) would not be so visible. The personal messaging in the website allows you to contact your friends in prety much the same way you are doing now publicly. It simply avoids everybody who isn't interested to read it too. 
As you can see, popularity isn't my main concern I can't stop from speaking my mind.

Okay, Freeze... 

Get up off your knees!  Considering your fragile condition (cadaver bone fusions and all...) it's going to be nothing less than painful and awkward, if not impossible, getting back up to standing!  Can you even move?  (Omg, what have you done!?)

Rest easy, my friend...  I have been avoiding it, just because there is nothing I can say that will come close to expressing what a loser I think the guy is.  Well, not without offending you with profuse profanity!  lol...  Has he nothing better to do?  Poor fellow.  I am glad, however, that some people gave him a run for his money.  But, you're right.  It should die it's inevitable death.

MG,
Hey girl...
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum.  I can't imagine...
(One of my worst fears!  Mum is my rock.)

Ignore that idiot.  He does not belong here.
"Mean people suck..."

You know there's better people than that here for you @ JP.com

I've had a tough time of it lately myself, as you know... and will pm you my phone number.  Call me, okay???
I haven't been on this site for very long, only a few months since the hallowed "Vegas event w/ the Sinful Ladies" -- and you really should've been there!  But in the short time I have been here, I've met people who have been instrumental in helping me thru this, either via email or pm, or here on the site itself.  I imagine they will be friends for as long as they can put up with me!  lol...  I am so grateful for them, and this site.  It all helps!  So, dont' go...!

But, if you have to take a break we will understand.  I had to...  But, it's good to be back.  Freeze is right, this is a family and I am amazed at how much people care about each other here.  Would be so cool to all meet one day, eh?

Way back when I joined, I stated how JP fans seem to be the most genuine, sincere bunch and the concerts are much better than other bands, because of it.  I knew it years ago, and this site proves it.

Hang in there.  Good thoughts are coming your way.
Looking forward to hearing from you....???

I do not think I could I have said it any better, guido. What wonderful words and remarkable sentiment. And how true your words! I know there are members that would just as soon see this site closed. Many of these same people would prefer to see my mouth closed as well. Such is their  position and I will respect it. I recall a very dear friend of mine, Shawn in Canada, that expressed the desire to see the site closed. His thought was that this place had become a big "chatroom" and had lost its appeal as a Priest site. He lamented the daily babble about all things "Un-Priest". He ended up leaving this site.  I respected his opinion then, and I respect those today. But I do not agree. This is one of the great beauties of friendship; we need not always agree.I believe many more will come and go. The choice is theirs. (I use e-mail. I have a cell phone, by the way!  These are all tools for work more than they are anything else.) 

This place is more than just a band's website to me. It is through this site that I have met, face to face, some of the most wonderful and dear friends I have ever known. I have met, electronically, many others.  There is just no way that I can place a value on that.  I think a certain element among us have forgotten the importance of friendship. Perhaps their lives have become so hectic with the many other responsibilities we face that they are no longer able to remember the joy of seeing a dear friend? Of having someone to talk to when you need them? Of sharing a laugh? Of knowing what friends and being a friend really means?

The day I came here, I met some great people. Some of them are gone now. Some of them are still here.  A couple are very close to me. Phil (Metal Meltdown) is as close to a "best friend" as I have had in twenty years. We are very close and that friendship means SO much to me. Without this Board, I would have never met him. I would have never had the opportunity to do the wonderful music we have created! I won't even get into all the other tremendous aspects of happiness that has brought along!

I guess the most important thing I can impart from this post is this; I truly love you all. You really do mean something to me. ALL of you. Whether or not we agree is irrelevant to me. I am grateful for you. I learn from you. Occasionally, I lean on you. You know as much about me as any friends I have ever had. You have been here during some of my most difficult moments. There is a certain theraputic value to that. To be able to tell you things. To share. And all of this has been facilitated by the place we know as Judas Priest.com.

I'll jump in with and answer, if I may, as it matters a great deal to me if JP is up or down.

Most know me as one very much into tech. I am a programmer, set up computer networks, just finished building three computers in as many days and can (sadly?) tell you how the next quad-core "Nehalem" Intel chip will fare against the nanosecond "future" of computing. That said, I am one of the only people I know who does not own a cellphone! I have NEVER been one for chat even in the beginnings (yeah, I know FORTRAN and can change tubes on the ENIAC! LOL!). Quite frankly, I feel no need nor do I have anything so important to say as to be in contact with someone so constantly. 

Email, to me, is a task. A chore. How I deal with people on a day-to-day basis at work. WORK being the key word. They demand a response. IM conversations? To me, they are like cellphones (and chat, for that matter). They are "non-substantive," IMO. Perhaps a laugh or two on the good days but, again, a chore to me.

I may come across as a troglodyte (anyone who knows me knows that I am cutting edge on most everything) or perhaps an anomaly of the traditional tech-nerd. Still, for as much as tech marches on, I appreciate the human contact all the more. Wanna know the saddest thing I saw last Ozzfest? The masses who were there speaking on the phone. I am almost ashamed to have taken so many pictures at the last Priest concert. Probably what led to my injury. First time I got a camera into a show while trying to headbang.

"Don't you email your friends" you ask? IM? IRC? Nope. I might email a friend from time to time but no IM nor IRC. I just don't have the time to be on the same schedule as them. HERE, however, I can be writing at 1am, post pictures, make friends both here at home and ESPECIALLY abroad. Necro sending recipes to us, for example? How would I have found such a thing otherwise?

I cherish the noticeboard for it doesn't "demand" my time. I give it freely and whenever I am able. I very much appreciate the opportunity to have that choice.   [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Where AmI from Tuesday, December 02, 2008 12:24:48 AM)

Don't you email your friends and have IM conversations or use IRC? Honestly, there is no reason why you should stop talking to your friends now that you have them. It shouldn't matter that jp.com is up or down.
Where there is an ending, there may be a new begining. A far better, sharper, improved begining. A slick, shiny - and technologically advanced - begining to reflect the changing times.
If for that to happen, jp.com has to be sacrificed, so be it. I'll be the first one to hammer the nails on the cross.

I couldn't agree more, HB. I initially came to this site to get to know the fans that meant so much to me at the Priest shows. Not just the casual fans but, rather, the TRUE fanatics. Those special people with whom I had spent a couple of hours of REAL headbanging at the shows. You know who you are...at every show there are quite a number who know every song, every chord, every change. Somehow we always seem to gravitate to one another at the shows. Without this NOTICEBOARD (not just the ability to post messages), such friendships would be lost or, worse, never have happened in the first place.

To illustrate the point, I present this maniac who felt the need to take a picture of ME at the last show. I laughed and snapped one right back. Any of you him? I wanna see how my pic turned out! Thanks to the Noticeboard, I just might! LOL!!!

Very true.   My father died of cancer back in Sept. 2005.   Although I never really made it a public subject, they really helped me deal with the situation.  Sometimes it was just the fact that I had some place to act like a fool in the Kmac area or make jokes with old 70's show references ( thanks to those who know who you are ).  If you've got things to handle then handle them, but don't feel guilty about living and/or being happy.  It took me a while to learn that and much of it was thanks to the people here.

[Justin Kenny] Monday, December 01, 2008 12:12:29 PM 
In all honesty,  I didn't take part in the initial  'Black Friday'  rush as my wife and eldest daughter opted...they were up at 3:30 that morning and arrived at the Wal-Mart by us just in time for the 4am opening.     It was (by all description) very quick and busy...but the most out of hand region of the store seemed to be reserved to the electronics department  (thank Christ).     Her only M.O. for going there at all was because of the 75%+ off savings that were going on with some of the young miss/adult ladies'  clothing....jeans, tops...shit like that.     The girls have been needing some new clothing for some time now, and my wife managed to capitalize on the sales quotients...picking up said items for both of our daughters,  a quick peruse through toys for some of the younger children in the family,  hopped upon a line that was quite  small and quickly moving..and got the hell outta there.      I later joined my wife to set up the lay-away business we had to take care of at K-Mart...which went surprisingly smooth...but it's some of what I witnessed there, and the things I heard about later that day that really got me to thinking.      I just can't excuse or rationalize such Cro-Mag behaviors as I learned about in Valley Stream (and anywhere else this had happened).     It was a stark reminder of the madness that took place back when the  'Cabbage Patch Kids,'    'Tickle Me Elmo,'    'iPods,'   and other high-demand items that emerged in the last 25 years to better tempt the consumer dollar.       I'm sorry....but when something like that deduces the  "..most advanced race"   of this planet to   mindless, careless, heartless frenzies....it behooves the ENTIRETY of those of us left with SOME semblance of decency and respect to set a new example and tell these retailers/manufacturers to take their  'must-have' items and shove 'em clean up their chocolate wizz-ways.      Yes...I know how ironic that just sounded....LOL!!!

....it's a lot less harmful than hearing about store employees who won't be able to join their own families for the holidays because they DIED in the name of trying to make OTHER people's holiday  "....happy and prosperous."

Lord...it never ceases to amaze me what can transpire in a matter of 4 days or so....seems once again this site is in danger of losing otherwise GOOD people because more of the proverbial shit has begun to needlessly annihilate the 'fan'  for which it invariably targets.     

Add to this, the events of the last three days on a more grand scale.     I simply cannot get over the non-sensical bull-rush ethic I heard about this past weekend once 'Black Friday'  hit.      I mean...my God...an older, part-time employee of a Wal-Mart branch in Valley Stream, NY (which is about 40 minutes from where I used to live on Long Island) gets trampled to death just  trying to open the feckin' store!!!??      Then I hear about two employees of another store that were shot (whether or not it had anything to do with the shopping rush has yet to be determined at this time)??      

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!???  
Alright...I know...it's the biggest shopping day that gets the holiday shopping kicked off in earnest.   It's a pathetic time economically, and a lotta retailers are trying in vain to compete for whatever spending dollar consumers are willing to shell out...I get it...honestly, I do.     But fer Chrissakes...does it REALLY gotta be about life and death??     Must this reduce otherwise rational, sane (I think?) people to regress some 10,000 years in order to obtain one or two coveted items??      I sure hope those who espouse the beliefs of the  'big-bang/evolutionary'  theories  have re-tooled their thinking as to just how advanced a race we humans have evolved into...because some of what I saw and heard would make me wonder like a sonuvabitch were I of the same order of thinking/belief...lemme tell ya!     The only things missing were the overtly hairy bodies, a few mace clubs, and some added grunts and other guttural noises as a means of communicating  (and while I think about it, I did see some of that too)!!!       Know what gets my goat too??   The fact that once the Valley Stream police got the Wal-Mart evacuated, people had the nerve to complain.....you believe this!??    COMPLAIN....even after they heard about what had happened!!!      Then, my wife tells me she overheard that there was a fight in the electronics department in the Wal-Mart by us because someone had the nerve to swipe a TV clean out of the shopping cart  right in front of the person who had it in there in the first place!!!    

Unreal....I mean that....absolutely UNreal.      And people wonder why there are some of this world who have this abject hatred when it comes to holidays.   I don't...I know what it's supposed to represent and what it's supposed to mean, and it will always be that way...but there are a vast number of people who really need a goddamn clue and in a bigger goddamn hurry.

As I mentioned, he has but ONE friend in FOUR years on this site. There is a reason for that. He is a loser in life as well.  It is obvious. There is nothing we can do about their appearance, but we can do something about their tenure. We must stand together. We must not allow anyone to tear at us.
