I think it's plain wrong to categorize members by MM, MJ, Priscilla or Colonel Parker haters/lovers. We were all here because of Elvis so we didn't need to like or dislike any of them to be part of the conversations and interact with each other. I used to have a good relationship with other members that had a completely different point of view to mine in many subjetcs, it's not that difficult, really. What I never understood is why some people seemed to take so much offense when a thread like that got started when it was so easy not contributing or ignoring it. As far as I know there have always been an artwork, review, and off topic zone in this website, where people could talk about everything from CD releases to the technical side of Elvis' recordings. Why aren't those subforums more active if what everybody wants is more constructive criticism or a more musical oriented website?
It's good to have different threads, opinions and interests, IMO.
Someone should start a poll asking members what topics they'd want to discuss and what they'd want to change here, this way you would know what's going wrong or what would make their visit more enjoyable.

So,so sorry for that BUTTONHEAD. Where in hell did Donut come from?You r right Cliff,...i think Rosanne DID give A LOT to this forum from her thread and opinion , I missed her tooDon't even remember typing it. Oh well, it's a good example of how things can start. Well, you know who you are.
Lol I wondered where the Donut came from too Cliff but you brought her out of hiding so that was good. I agree with all three of you, Cliff, buttonhead and Donut. Although we did have some pretty heated arguments there off and on, it was still great to interact with everyone and most came around and were friendly again. I do believe strongly that Rosanne did have the most impact on the posts to keep them going and interesting. She did have quite a gift and I and many others still miss here a lot.
I must admit I try to avoid the hot button topics, because it seems to become stating and restating the same things over and over with really not much accomplished.
As far as Rosanne she was such a spark to all topics she posted on-very understanding, very bright....
Work in Progress!
Yes I agree with Donut, Cliff smell the icing LOL .. its good to know someone think of someoneanyway, Yes I do believe Rosanne has that Southern Charms and hospitality most of us don't have, to me she views every one here as Good hearted people, so she approached every one as that.
Plus she saw Elvis, got kisses and scarf from him, THAT must have been something she treasured during her lifetime, I hope IF Gail read this she will not cry , but i doubt it, even when i came across her youtube video and read the date and the year it was made ...it made me thinking of her -instantly... This woman really the Biggest fan there is/ was.. and Elvis must have been pleased that someone like her keep his legacy alive. I agree with Donut, there should be a poll of what members prefer to discuss to keep the discussion board going.
miss the old threads that went on for pages and pages, even as some would be rather vicious in their comments, which of course, would rally the rest of us to come to the defense and insist that the children learn to play nice. I don't mind threads on what books we're reading, what color are Elvis' eyes, how tall he was - but really rather prefer the debates and even the silly ones where one would race to imaginary finish lines. what fun we had.
As a new member, back in the day, I did get my feelings hurt, but then I found a wonderful tool - the bullyblocker! haha, then I would just have to remember not to post important thoughts in the wee hours of the morning when my mind is feeble at best
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
Unfortunately, confrontational posts usually get the most responses. This forum will be strong again, just need a little better effort from all of us, myself included!
I am new so I don't have a lot of input on that question. I have reviewed some of the old threads and the guys named "Donut" and "Teddy" were a riot. Some of the ladies though were more than an little hard on Priscilla, like for instance an running joke about the size of her thighs in one picture. We could do without that sort of liveliness. By the way I love your avatar, Elvis in the early 1960's would have been a great "Clark Kent/Superman".
hee hee hee... well Teddy was taking care for Cilla Beaulieu... and Rosanne usually the one that made poke fun of it,
