 Remember back in 2000 when there was an official forum on SmashingPumpkins.com? Well it looks like it could be happening again ... Latest from SP.comSP.com to reveal new messageboard?SP.com circa 1999 Those of you that have been begging for a new "Official Smashing Pumpkins Messageboard" may just get your wish. We have been steadily hinting at a newly redesign SP.com for the past few months, and we are getting ever closer to this reality. Serious consideration is being given to the return of fan-directed moderation of the goings-on of such a messageboard. So what should an newly envisioned "O-board" look like or how should it function? Submit your thoughts HERE after logging into your SP.com account. Serious posts may be posted later as opinion/news and added to part of the consideration. www.smashingpumpkins.com/membernews#submitnews-------------------------------------------------------- Discuss any idea's etc on here, or submit it through to the band. If you have anything to pass on and you're not a SP.com member (for what ever reason) let me know I'll gladly pass it on. Aww the O-Board: web.archive.org/web/20010206193712/http://mb.smashingpumpkins.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgiThe one thing that worries me about the O-Board ... this place could suffer  ... but on the other hand. YAY! |

I know i'll always come here to get away from some of the clowns that try to ruin those places... To me this place is all about the people who go here. And quite frankly I don't have the time to trawl through another message board anymore. I remember I used to spend days and days on the old o board.
My two favourite things from the o board were the philosophy forum and the song meanings and lyrics forums... I hope they make a return.

The best thing (for me) about the old Oboard was the Aus Forum - and all the shenanigans with Nikki Webster and what not. Seeing as Ozphoria is the Aus Forum on steriods, I don't know if I'll be getting a lot of use from a new Oboard.
Also, I don't have a lot of faith in the rest of the online community not to fuck it up.

I'm with everything you guys said. Dealing with the international community again recently has reminded me just how many whingy people there are out there. I'll maybe be on the other side this time, who knows. Just sounds like ideas at the moment.
This place is known as a great community because if the people. We are a family here. It will be handy to have an official forum again though

I don't think I ever used the OBoard (though I did use the site from the screen cap above, just never the forum) but I don't want to go anywhere but here. I can't stand places like netphoria's forum where you have to dig so hard to find the tiniest bit of info or interesting comment to make it worth your time. I think there should be some offial forum but it would have to have the shit moderated out of it and then everyone would bitch about that!
All the good stuff filters through to us here at the speed of light anyway, why would you wanna go anywhere else? *I sound like such a suck!*

I lurked on the O Board, i also checked out Netphoria and had an account way back in school days but i haven't done that for a long long time.
Good to see this is coming back though.

If the Oboard comes back, it must have a musician's forum or its a no from me. That was the only bit I used to read.

Hi guys, first post here, been reading ozphoria for a while and the screenshot in the mainpost (of one of the old offical sites homepage) got me interested! I remember the homepage animation changing a fair bit actually, different themes with different clues to the whole Machina concept. I'm positive i've got some of the flash files saved at home on a cd somewhere, will have a look soon! Looking forward to them bringing back a similar style site and message board. Oh lastly, the one thing that totally hooked me about the O board.. Billy posted! and from memory it wasn't just a "hay guys whats up?" it was sneaky and cryptic, just the way i like it! Edit: found some online, just the intros tho! www.rspaa.org/rspaa/Miscellaneous/www.smashingpumpkins.com/intro8b.swfMore here for those interested - www.rspaa.org/rspaa/Miscellaneous/www.smashingpumpkins.com/ |

i used to post on there a little bit but back in 2001 or 2002, can't really remember much about it or even what name i used (most likely de-tec-tive). i do remember the Aussie thread, but i think i only read it once or twice. it'd be cool if it came back, but i think i have enough forums taking up my time already...

Having an official board is perhaps a necessary evil. There's gonna be B.S. but its imporant to have an official one to go to.
