If you truly want to stop the leaks........

[D]

Dont even allow the songs to be discussed.

song discussions lead to people spreading the leaks.

[Jamie]

I agree, something has to be done, I mean there are rumours floating around now that the WHOLE ALBUM is available, that's just going too far, if it is indeed true, and Uncle Axl finds out, rest assured there will be consequences, i.e an even further delay of CD

[-Jack-]

I would say...

(this is just an idea)

stop new members from joining.. disable the PM system... and only allow members with 5 stars acess to the board. or at least members with 3 or more stars. Do this until the album is out.

I dunno.

It seems like this cant be stopped anyways.

Interesting view there D, but I disagree. When you start censoring what gets said around here, thats when these songs will hit kazaa and limewire, and then millions will be exposed to the demos. Right now, its just us. I think sanctuary should change their mind, and tell the forums they can listen to the songs. This strange universe that is existing through the PM system is unreal.

In another thread of yours, you mentioned not being able to resist temptation when/if another leak occurs. I feel the same. We dont want to ruin the album, but we also dont want to miss out on new material. Its like a horrible car wreck. You know you shouldn't look, but you want to see the juicy stuff.

I agree with you about stopping new members. There are ALOT of nobs here, and they have been cluttering up the forum with insults and meaningless threads.

[-Jack-]

The way I see it is that even if the songs get leaked on the forum they will go to limewire anyways... Better is there.. im sure theres IRS and TWAT too.

It seems unstoppible either way. I was very pro-"stop the demos" earlier.. but I wasn't aware of the magnitude of the PM's James just mentioned.

The only way to slightly hitch em would be to make the whole board read only and disable PM's.

Leaks are gonna happen if they happen, I guess we just have to have will power and not worry bout everyone else's experience and just not download em and wait.

I just hate someone getting to hear and experience it before me though.

Dont we all!

haha, and what if cd's comes out and your standing in line to get the cd.....what would happen to the person in front of you? 

[Hammy]

Shut down all the GN'R sections....

...Disable PMS

....That's if you want to slow down leaks, stopping them is near impossible, they'll be put out there through some website, through e-mails or some file-sharing program.

If the band want to slow them down or counter them then they should make an announcement.  Whenever anything leaks i do listen to it and i will continue to do so, because i have no idea when the album will come out.

Now if they gave an official release date, then i would stop listening to the leaks.

That comment Dizzy's wife gave about the opening of Christmas presents (or something like that...) on December 23rd was quite a stupid one, because we're yet to get conformation that Christmas is coming this year.

[D]

If Merck hadnt came out and said "The Album isnt finished"

I wouldnt have DL the leaks, but since we get the same ole same ole run around bullshit I said fuck it.

Exactly it's a give and take situation....

...They give us information....

...we'll respect their wishes.

No info.  No respect.

[D]

seriously if he had came out and said "The album is projected to come out this summer"

I wouldve waited.

like Stoned said, "Christmas this year isnt promised"

Not sure what Stoned meant but I took that like "I may not be alive when the album comes out"

so thats why I listened. Hell i could die and never hear this CD, so when these leaks came out, I had to listen.

Had Merck not said what he said, I wouldve waited.

My point was when Dizzy's wife came up with the whole opening your Christmas presents on the 23rd of December comment, the reason that comment is stupid is you know on the 23rd of December you have only 2 days to go 'til Christmas.....

....We haven't even received conformation our Christmas (Chinese Democracy...) is even coming this year, so i will listen to demo's until somebody gives us an Official Date for Christmas

[D]

Not as dramatic as my interpretation but point well taken.

Still, I mean we may be dead the time this comes out, so might as well check at what we have a chance to hear cause u never know.

u are right though, 2 days a way from Christmas is no comparison to the 10 years of hell GNR fans have been through.

[Hammy]

Yeah if they tell me Christmas (Chinese Democracy.....) is out May/June hell even December.....


....i'll stop opening the presents (leaked demo's.....)

[the dirt]

so thats why I listened. Hell i could die and never hear this CD, so when these leaks came out, I had to listen.

That's exactly the way I look at it. (Or listen to it )

[AdZ]

Well if you don't like it and don't want the leaks.. you could always stop coming here.

[-Jack-]

What? Are you some kinda mod or something?

Why would anyone want to stop deliberate leaks from GNR's management

[Markus Asraelius]

I would say...

(this is just an idea)

stop new members from joining.. disable the PM system... and only allow members with 5 stars acess to the board. or at least members with 3 or more stars. Do this until the album is out.

I dunno.

That idea would work but there are many other places where people can get the songs so it would in fact only work here.
