I apologize for being curt but I find people who won't just go with the flow (hello, wear a mask and keep your distance please) aggravating and I know I am a bit short tempered.

For what it's worth, anyone wishing to post could temporarily change their avatar to signal affiliation/beliefs. Internet discussion between the camps (it used to be so much more civil) is useless when it comes to changing opinions. Just saying.

I‘m glad the discussions about politics in this forum have stopped. There have been only the same , mostly exclusively American fans,who also are on the same page as Adam, talking here. I for sure would have left, had that gone on. At the moment, Adam is taking a break. There is simply not much to talk about, but filling that gap with politics? No, thank you. I mean, I‘m not filling it with European politics either. 😉

This thread is dead but 2 cents - when politics becomes a topic it's always sucks the oxygen out of everything else. Still it isn't really a problem for me. I'm happy to embrace, celebrate and enjoy all things Adam music and otherwise. I don't always agree with him, but it's not about me. I don't need to post my disagreement, I can disagree in private. I'm always flummoxed by the idea that to support someone, you need to like them all the way from their head to their black painted toenails! Here for the long haul

For years, the shout box at the bottom of the screen was used for just that....shout-outs. It was where the link to whatever current stream was playing that day...for example...the 'address' for the "party" we will be linking to in less than an hour. It was really convenient for many reasons...first and foremost, to easily find the link to what you wished to see without scrolling through the day's posts to look for it. It was also really handy when you wanted to catch someone's attention for a fairly important reason as many people lurk and do not sign in unless they wish to comment...or when we are worried about someone's absence...for eg. momtomany when the fires were/are raging in California...just to call out and say 'check in with us so we know you are alright'. Now...since this heading..."This is for major Adamtopia announcements. If you want to discuss Adam, start with today's Daily News & Information thread." the box is almost never used and has lost all its usefulness. I miss it...and I have often had to search for ages to find important messages. I would like to request it get back to its original purpose. The odd person not understanding it use is not such a major problem. Perhaps we need the definition of "major Adamtopia announcements" clarified or expanded. Agree. I've been thinking the same thing for a long time. It looks like someone has now edited the posts and deleted all but the announcements but nobody uses it for example the watch party link would have been posted in the past because all of us felt we could put something there but now it seems like only an admin should. Undermines what a chat box is a bit.
