Beachwood recordings recently changed its mailing address. Could that be
the source of the mixup?
Just a thought....

I think she means Beachwood as in her personal website, not Beachwood
Recordings.
At least, I THINK that's what she means.

Sorry, Samantha, but your initial post simply wasn't clear as to what you
meant. Had your post said "I killed my 1334Beachwood.com site.", what you
said would have been easily understood. But when you said "Beachwood is
dead" it made it sound as though you believed that James' company had gone
out of business.

JLS is not a Monkee. 1334beachwood.com was shortened to "The Beachwood Site"
when it was up.

1334 Beachwood is a fictional address mentioned briefly in a 40 year old TV
show. James Lee Stanley and Beachwood Recordings is real life and current.
It's natural for those of us not living in fantasy land to think of the real
life definition, when you are (IMO) purposefully vague like that. You knew
that Beachwood Recordings was James' company. You knew that many people here
are fans and friends of his. And you had to have known that few people here
even knew you had a website with that name, much less gave a rat's ass if
it's functional or not. You were either purposely vague knowing it would get
attention, or you're delusional enough to think the AMM world was hanging on
your every action and would want to know or even care that you took your
website down. Either way, stop being such an attention whore.
Damn, first rant in a long time. Felt good.

JLS is still not a monkee and you and him can kiss my ass. He's not even
talented. His music is boring and I'm just hanging around til I hear the
Monkees are dead. I give them 5 years.
I will say this to you. I was not being "purposely vague". Monkee fans who
visited my site would just shorten it down to "Beachwood". Whenever I would
talk about something I wanted them to see, pictures, music.. I would just
say "Let me put it up on Beachwood..."
Now I will leave you to kiss the asses of non-talented people who have a
following of 50 people who travel the country listening to 3 minute sleeping
pills.
This is my last post until they all die.

OOH! That is just too good to resist not taking bets on. I've got a 20

Ok, until all who dies? JLS, Monkee Fans, non-talented people, the 50 people
who travel the country...?
It's kinda vague, was that done purposely?
Promise?

Odd, you used to think James was pretty talented. Especially when you were
claiming that you were going to bed him. Under any circumstances, the truth
is that James is more talented than any of the Monkees.
> This is my last post until they all die.
From your keyboard to God's monitor.
Speaking of kiss-ass....Samantha did more than a little of that when she
was a member of James' list....
I will never understand why anyone would hang around a place one with
people one hates. Seems a colossal waste of time and effort. Nor do I
understand why anyone would wish another dead. Seems like a rather sad
way to go through life.

Only asking.
I think you can't judge even a single forum by the behavior of one or
of a few unstable people. Keep in mind also that this forum has no
moderation and no way to ban people. So those who have been removed
from every other civil forum drift over here, because they know they
cannot be silenced, only ignored. (And a lot of people here, myself
included, do take a little fun in poking the trolls.) Besides, for
every Jennifer and Nichole and whoever else makes trouble or is just a
pain in the fucking ass, there's a Shane and an EJ to balance things
out (apologies if I left you out--I was trying trying to think of a
couple people who have rarely if ever caused any trouble; I know
there's plenty more of you out there).
I have to admit that I've run into some people in this fandom that have
significantly lowered my opinion of humanity. The originator of this
thread is one of them. But I've also met the best friends I've ever by
being a Monkees fan, and that makes it worth it.
Besides, there are creeps and freaks and loonies in EVERY single
fandom. (If you don't believe me, go to
http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank and browse for a while,
or find someone who's been in the LoTR fandom for a while and mention
"Victoria Bitter.")
So basically you have to be realistic about people. Trolls are going to
come here and try to rile things up, and lunatic people will always
find a way into fandom. It's the nature of the beast. But the idea of
hating or running from the object of fannish activities (whether it's
the Monkees, the Beatles, the cast of Stargate SG-1, or Josh Groban)
because some of their fans don't know how to behave like civilized
human beings has never made much sense to me.
~j
Thanks for the kind words :) There are many sane folks here....David and
Nadine and tamio and...and...and...well...LOTS. Most of us have been
here a long time---some off and on <G>---and we have seen the trolls
come and go...and come back again. Some I killfile and some I consider
free entertainment <G> We're not all crazy but don't tell anyone <G>
Crazy can be fun <G>

Hear hear :) There are people here I have known for the better part of
10 years who I consider to be good friends. We have been together
through moves from Prodigy and GEnie to AOL to IRC to mailing lists to
this newsgroup. We have been to shows together, visited one another,
laughed together, cried together, and pretty much been there for one
another. We have also taken on trolls, argued, debated, written,
defended and been silly. In other words---we behave completely normally

Oh yeah. They are like weeds, They spring up anywhere they can get an
opening. And some of them are the SAME weeds...they just migrate from
group to group dropping aliases as they go, like bad seeds <G>

I never understood it either. It seems to me that if the object is to
get to know the object of one's fandom that acting like a lunatic and
throwing tantrums and being vindictive and basically acting like a
deranged harpy would have just the opposite effect. And who can blame
the object of worship? If we cant deal with one troll here how can they
deal with herds of them? <G> If they would just learn that you can get
much further by acting like a civilized human being...

Oh, you couldn't pay me enough to make me go sit in a crowd of Monkee
fans these days. (if there still was such a thing as a crowd of Monkee
fans. ;) ) It's not fear of the crazies, but a distaste for all that
sticky sweet adulation from adult women. It gets in the way of
enjoying the music. Years ago, when I went to Monkee conventions, I
usually stood in the back of the room to be away from the screamers.
I've become even less tolerant in my old age. ;)
I've met some really great people - some of them right here on amm -
who also happen to like some aspect of The Monkees. Difference is,
they're NORMAL. They don't "love" the M's or idolize them.
We sold some Josh Groban stuff on eBay, and if the reaction we got was
any indication, those are some of the most obsessed fans I've ever
seen. It's not just kids, either... some of the fans who were writing
us were in their 70s, following the tour around the country, hoping to
find a way to meet this kid. Amazing.

Actually, I discovered that the sound is better in the back.

note the caveat that I employed regarding the "present company excluded"

tendency for people to take it to Real Life. That's all. Although I must
say that the quality of the k00ks is rather high in here.
it is my theory that the relative easy accessability to the guys make the

~ A rich person is not one who has the most, but one who desires the least ~
I really would like to know the answer to this one too.
Actually, I totally agree, but unfortanately I was afraid that when the
crazy ones speak up, the nicer people shy away. I hope this isn't
always the case.

That's because of the low volume of "real
news" that is postable (without it being
rehashed 10 times). The oldbies have
practically read and said most of the
interesting Monkee-related stories,
and have barely no interest to do another
"Top Ten Monkee Album/Episode/Song/Quote etc."
poll so the responsiblity of creating
an "interesting", non-flaming conversation
lies upon the shoulders of newbies and
some of the midbies. The majority of
them have found a "haven" in Yahoo!
mailing lists; they didn't want to
stay in the kitchen.

Fans make friends online and extend
some of those friendships offline.
In a perfect world, enemies would
be just made online (i.e. "what
happens online stays online") without
involving "Real Life" but "internet
rage" happens universally. Organizations
like CyberAngels and WiredSafety are proof
of that extension of human
interaction.
Considering the low volume of fans flocking
to their shows (in comparison to what
they had in 1986 and 1996), I wouldn't
doubt that Monkee fans may "see" nutcases in
the audience these days. The difference
between here and there is that concerts
have security. :)

We just don't have alot of patience with psychos who use multiple names and
personalities and
argue with themselves. It's creepy and weird. It amazes me that people
