Why The Change of Website?

[tom kid]

I was just wondering why the website was all of a sudden changed? There were heaps of threads that have been lost.

[SIBLY]

Apparently Jimmy didn't like the way the word 'to' was being used on the old board and Robert needed a new pair of socks.

It was about time if you ask me...

Yea, what a lovely looking forum. It has a great feel to it.

I agree.I love it!

I agree.I love it!

Yup, and very nice coding, except for the "Post Reply" option, nothing seems to work for me there.

I don't know why it was moved. Perhaps because Sam didn't want to deal with working on two internet sites?

[JTM]

Why not ?

This is the original bonhamwannabe.

All I know is that I am deeply saddened by the change of site. My account from the "old" site no longer works... after seven years and one major loss four years ago. I've lost all of my info. Sam, why? This is truly the end of what was a great era of Zeppelin on the web.

I discovered all of this right after finishing the DVD and all of the extras. This was such a happy day and now I get online to make a post.. only find that everything I've accumulated from the Zeppelin community over the last four years is gone.. just like back in 2003.

I want my account back.

OMG... Electric Magic is closing. This is the end. I will never see my old account again. I seriously think I'm going to be sick. Sam.....

Existing members of the old L-Z.com board can login there now and retrieve your pm's etc. I'll keep it open for at least a week, probably a few weeks.

Some of those threads are best left canned. Too much fighting.

This is like a school re-union. A fresh start.

Maybe.....we can be a kinder, gentler, nation of fans.

The other board was never considered the "official" Led Zeppelin messageboard. Up until now one has never existed. Congrats to Sam for landing that honor.

Well put, Jahfin.

Well, we are all in the same boat right? Just try and retrieve what you can, while you can.

Sam owes us nothing.

Personally I like this one, and hope it stays like it is now - nice and friendly.

I personally like this board, and I hope it stays like it is now, all new, and nice and friendly.

WHOOPS SORRY SAID THE SAME THING TWICE>>>>>>>>>>

Some of the old members are probably aggrieved that they lost their fantabulous, reputation-building post counts...

I love the smell of fresh forums in the morning..
