Aloha !

This website hasn't become a joke because of the people who bash Bon Jovi but because of the people who fail to understand why people bash Bon Jovi, or are incapable to take in any critisism others have over their favourite band, and therefore start pointless insulting topics or post pointless replies to those people they don't like.

It's also because of the attention span of the newbies being no longer than 3 replies which results in them not being able to follow a discussion at all, but just posting their opinion, being quoted and then having the feeling that they're insulted because someone questions their theory.

That's why this messageboard is shit nowadays. Not because of the bashing, if that were true they could've shut it down right away because it's been a lot, lot worse, yet many people prefereed this place 5 years ago over Backstage because over here they could voice their disappointment in this band. This place used to be so much fun, and that was during the Bounce era, an era where the album was the worst in years, a tour that had terrible vocals from Jon and a setlist that was terribly predictable. Yet people took it in and actually bothered to join the debates instead of posting insults as in "You can't be a fan, I'm a real fan etcetera..."

So p34semm, if you don't enjoy reading critisism based upon previous actions from Bon Jovi, as in the "this is a real rock record", login to Backstage. I'm sure many people over there will actually believe anything Jon says.
