    You'll be back, again. This place is like sex.

    I would say it's more like masturbation...

    I counted 14 of the 28 threads on the first page were merchandise/vinyl related, it use to be that 80 to 90% of the threads were about the music or tour dates or stuff band related, and the merchandise threads keep taking over more and more of the porch, no offense to people who want to spend their time speaking about the merchandise, just not very inspiring for me, I joined this group because I assumed that it was a bunch of people who wanted to talk about the music. I know this thread will get locked because there is a constant attempt to limit free expression even when clearly nothing I have said violates the board rules. I will stay until they announce a Canadian Tour, but I will only be keeping that one thread active for my many friends in Canada, after that I am gone, probably going to let my membership expire too (I might keep it just for the setlist threads over in Given To Fly), I can always get tickets on Facebook. Maybe it is just me, but I can't see why it so hard to have a section just for people who want to talk about the band, the tour dates and the songs (although maybe this is the way the band wants it, as they play fewer and fewer shows, maybe they want it to be all about merchandise), but all these other threads make it too hard to sift through, so my best wishes, but this time is for good unless they create a forum that is about the songs, tour dates and the band, so good luck to everyone, this is a bummer, there were so many great discussions in here, my time on The Porch is nearing it's end, proof that not all change is for the good (although I am sure some are rejoicing, lol). No hard feelings, best wishes to everyone.

    So go to the words and music section of the site. That's what that section is for. Problem solved.
    This. 'Words and Music' is exactly where you should be if you want to discuss, uh, the music. Not posting dramatic exit threads that always come across as "poor me, I'm leaving. Please beg me to stay".

    They're not on tour yet and they haven't released any new music. However they have just had their biggest ever vinyl sale so of course people are going to be talking about vinyl.

    Big bank hank.
    I've always liked your video posts and
    poles and so on
    so continue on
    as far as the bullshit on here just muscle
    through it and overlook it as that's what I do
    I get internet tired head real quick so
    I wish that for you
    also like others have suggested
    take a break for awhile ---regroup and also
    as usual there's so much more in life that's
    more concerning than letting this forum
    bum you out
    So have a drink keep rockin and we'll
    see ya soon

    How to do a goodbye post:

    First: post it in AET.
    Second: No melodrama, no complaining, no shaming
    Third: be quick

    Hi all - I've got other priorities in life right now and decided not to renew my membership once it expires. If you want to keep in touch send me a PM or you can catch me on the Facebook message board.

    And this makes so much sense it's ridiculous.

    Either way, I think blaming the boards or the thread topics for your need to leave seems a bit unfair. The reason anyone needs a break from this place is all about their own shit, not everyone else's. I.e. this is still a cool place. It's just not suiting Hank's needs at the moment.
