Abe Lincoln had a brighter future when he picked up his tickets at the box office

Same here, if any of you guys happen to be in Dundee, Scotland let me know

The only GNR fans I've met in person were Jarmo, Christos and Adz. They were all pretty sound though

I picked up on a few of you mentioning that he needs a good marketing budget but I personally don't buy that. He could easily get the ball rolling for free....

His first step should be MySpace. Guns N Roses has 300855 friends.

To put that in perspective:
HTGTH has 8442 members.
MyGNR has a respectable 29,153 members, but still nowhere near the amount on mySpace.

Just because the GNR fanboards are quiet doesn't mean there is no interest in GNR.

Axl should be throwing Chi Dem down the throats of his "myspace friends" and having them spread the word for him. The hype hasn't died completely, its just stagnating. Axl can easily turn this around by offering some catchy single-material for free.

MySpace is here to stay (unfortunately) and Axl is in a position to abuse it. Abuse the fuck out of it until every single one of those 'friends' has bought a concert ticket, piece of merchandise, referred a friend, downloaded some tunes or dare I say it .... bought Chinese Democracy on CD.

Out of those 300,000+ friends I wonder how many are magazine publications that will mention the free downloads in a printed form? If Axl plans on doing interviews to promote ChiDem he probably has 50-100 magazine editors listed as 'friends'. I'm sure they'd be willing to grant him space on the cover in return for an interview

Anyway, thats how I see it

If banning by IP address isn't working then it isn't DTJ fault, it's mine. I don't have time to check over every line of code to make sure everything functions correctly all day long due to my having a life.

Clearly though the banning by IP address does work - otherwise you wouldn't have had to use a different IP address each time you registered. We've only had to ban 6 accounts on this board so far, 3 of those belonged to you I believe.

Whilst I personally didn't mind a majority of your posts it's obvious you've been stirring trouble judging by the number of complaints received specifically about you. You've been banned from all major GNR sites (on more than one occasion) which must surely tell you something.

You'll no doubt re-register and manage to post a few times before being banned again. All you're doing is wasting our time and your own. Please just give up and move on to another GNR forum. Prove that you can be a valuable member to a GNR community by not being banned and the staff here may consider lifting this ban - by that time you probably won't even want to come back here.
