interesting stories and interesting people that I could discuss these things with. It seems to me that kind of novelty can't last and I don't think
the forum's gone downhill in the mean time I just think I'm personally over it. Maybe something similar happened to you.

Either way the Z-forum has been down for a few hours now.

Yeah, pretty much.

so feel sheepish about the promise of it without the follow through

Oh yeah, I know that... now that we have ADSL and I have a camera and stuff, I thought I'd be able to publish a lot of music. But somehow I never did.

Anyway I'm on Zappa Forum Hiatus now, after Flea's topic was deleted.

Flea posted a topic "Why was Jimmie D banned?" I replied to this topic, and mailed the reply to Flea "just in case".
Now the topic is gone. It doesn't show up in my recent-post list. Something is horribly wrong at the Zap-forum... and I've just stumbled on one of its
symptoms.

Yeah... Some things are just not tolerable on a site that's supposed to be about "free speech". The sheer fact that subjects like Jimmie D and Isaac
are now "forbidden" is ridiculous.

Hey Bonns...
Was wondering what happened to you over at the Z-forum.
Doug told me about what happened with the jimmie d thread.
I hope that things will change for the better over there.
I was away for a week when all this happened.
I'll bounce back and forth between forums just so I can say "Hi" to you.
I also miss our Saturday Morning Chats....
All The Best!!!
Jon

Aw dear Jon... Don't worry, I have something up my sleeve. But there's something else as well: the official Sierra game forums are closing down, and
I'm a great fan of Sierra games (Leisure Suit Larry, Gabriel Knight, Phantasmagoria, Shivers, King's Quest etc). Some of its more oriented fans have
started up new forums, and I've joined 3 of them, so I can keep contact, and discuss the games with other players. And as they are new forums, they'll
need work to build them up. So right now there's much more around me than Zappa.

Is it me or does the Zappa Forum feel like it isn't as active as say a year ago?

Long time no see everybody. Am I the only one who can't connect to zappa.com at the moment? I keep getting an SQL error, something about too many
connections.
