Ryan Boards Up The Message Board
Ryanadams.org, the very fan-owned, four-year-old message board that sent Ryan our way, appears to be shut down – and at Ry’s express request! The last few months saw him posting to the site frequently as „Whatever It’s Ryan,“ but after a series of threads created on October 2nd drew his ire, Adams asked for the site to be taken off line, temporarily, and for some editorial control. And by some, we mean total. Here’s the salient point, from the updated Acceptable Use Policy, detailing „Unacceptable Content“:
Any content that Ryan and/or his management finds unacceptable. His management has an administrator account.
No wiggle room there. And despite this carte blanche, the temporary take-down has become indefinite, and now without our go-to place for Ry Ry gossip we feel so lost. And scared. And … alone.
For added insight, here’s an email from board-owner Dave Smith to Stereogum-reader Brian:
I’m a little confused too if that makes you feel any better. Some threads pissed off Ryan (not sure which ones, doesn’t really matter at this point), he contacted both myself and management, asking for the board to be shut down NOW until changes have been made. I proposed some changes, but they wouldn’t discuss until the board was down. So here we are, now I’m waiting to hear from them…“
Sounds like Dave shares your state of bereavement, ryanadams.org posters. But if its any consolation to the Adams-gossipers among you, we hear that it’s just gonna be two albums this year — not three — so there should be less material to bitch about, board or none.
