*crickets chirping*
Skynyrd Nation as embodied on this forum doesn't seem too active.

Sure, there are some of us still flying the flag (however metaphorically or not :P), but I hate to see the relatively slow level of activity around here.
Wish these guys were more popular of course.

Dont quite know how ta respond ta that!!!!! PUFF..... PUFF... COUGH.....COUGH...watever

OH !!!! .......................................................... CHIRP.......... CHIRP

Hey "King" WTF??????

More popular???? What kind of statement is that???

There have been problems posting due to the "gerbil", so it frustrating when you think you posted something and it's not there..

People post when they can. So if it's slow just relax put on another Skynyrd song and chill....

Ain't saying anything against those of y'all who are here, just wish that there were more.

And yeah, the server issues and forum software setup probably don't *help*

No, I'm not *Ed* King. :P

HEY Alani...
I know what you mean...and it is sad....theres not more input/output from this site and the Nation as a whole to this site....definately not the members whom participate....if the BAND would promote this site at it's shows maybe more would come and partake.....and if they would come here say Bi-weekly...and give updates from the Road or something vs Nation members giving reports..which is great but it definately would make more of the non-participating members appear hear if they knew SKYNYRD Band members were here occasionally......thanks for your concern it's duly noted by the HMFICSECN.......

Just a little suggestion here, but if the members and crew of the band contributed on the site, ( they must read it, because it has been mentioned as inspiration for at least one of the songs on God & Guns ),the more fans would be likely to read it. I know I would be interested in reading stories from the backroom crew & roadies, as well as the band themselves, at the moment all the messages seem to come from the fans, there is nothing wrong with that, but a little input from the band themselves would be brilliant.

what do you excpect ?
there is a whole bunch of folks on here at many moments not everybody talks too and maybe the reason you hear crickets is becouse youre the only one not listening to music while youre online here on the site ??? i gots youtube skynyrd 1976 travlin man on checking out leons begining of song after i read that post about him earlier before
now in backonline i thought id go check it out that begining gots that catchy bassline backbone beat to it
>> tan fower rodgger dodger over OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS........

@ King: Can understand your viewpoint. It would be nice if some of the guys came on here. Anyway, I am "new" guy to the boards and who knows, maybe the numbers will continue to grow. At any rate, I reckon the usual suspects will continue to post insightful and funny topics/comments.....turn'er on

We have 30,382 members as of now.................................. Last month we had 28,???

I also agree they should push tha fanclub a little more!!!!..............rusty

@workdaze: LMFRIGGINAO!!!!!!!!

Yeah, involvement from the band and crew themselves might a great way to alleviate that problem.
I know that developing the fan-community around a musician really helps as a reinforcement to the music itself in building the overall experience.
