I could be wrong (no comments ) but I would think that a person who posted for a long time on Backstage would not feel very comfortable here. They might post for a short time but I think that they would leave very quickly.
We had a bunch of people post here when BonJovi.com took down their board for awhile - but are any of them here now? Most seem to have gone back to their original board when it reopened. I'd bet that most people from Backstage would find a natural home at BonJovi.com - not here.
And the moral here?? No need to shoot them - they'll leave on their own
