Yeah best of luck to them. We are going to continue doing what we are doing here. We have a great community here built up not just over two months but over many years - thanks to atu2. We all left home a couple of months back, but we are staying at the new place and focusing on allowing all dialogue that’s in a spirit of honesty and respect. Sadly, honesty isn’t always positive and uplifting so negative comments are always going to be welcomed here along with positive ones as long as they follow rule number 1: respect. That respect includes respect to atu2, whose mods do this without pay.
If some of you chose to return to atu2, that’s fine. If some of you choose to post at both places that’s fine too.
The one thing I don’t want to see is people posting positive light and airy on atu2 then coming over here specifically to say the things you know would get you banned over there.
If we become the no holes barred u2 forum, we will fail. If we are the balanced forum we will succeed
Bottom line - respect. Myself and Tumbling Dice are having a knock down brawl over Brexit at the minute In the political section of the site and we disagree vehemently over it, but I’ll still buy him a drink if he’s right and I am wrong. An Tha and I disagree quite strongly on where POP belongs in U2s catalog but we can still joke about it and regularly do.
There’s plenty of room for multiple U2 fan sites, as long as they follow the bands ethos and respect each other.
