Q3, we have had so little news the last few days, that any remote connection to Adam or uplifting information has been welcome. Many do not have family and big dinners to attend to. Please don't tighten the lid so tight that a ray of light can not shine in. Thank you for posting, Maia. I'm confused. We had a whole day of Taylor Swift, Led Zepplin, football or whatever people were interested in that day. No modding. We aren't going to have Adam news every day, Q3. Can't we please enjoy each other in conversation? Some great discussions happen about the music industry, some funny posts are to be had for all to laugh a bit or a lot. This seems like a very rough time to clamp down when the thread's been very lenient for ages now. We'll have more drought before Adam is front and center again IMO. Personally, today, I was looking forward to hearing about Fleetwood Mac, but I don't see a recap. It's music. Adam lives music. It's a dark and cold winter...we need all the light we can have. I agree with Maia. Please let the light in. There are other threads in this forum for a general conversation. Here are a couple: adamtopia.com/board/82/after-hoursadamtopia.com/board/20/inspired-adam There are threads for general discussion about music. adamtopia.com/board/33/music-books-fashion-entertainment-recommendationsThis thread is for Adam News and Info. Your are right over the past could of months the conversation has gone all over the place -- that is why I posted the reminded. It has moved from a comment here and there about something other that Adam to a running conversations about everything but Adam. This has been the rule on this thread for over 5 years -- back to the beginning on Planet Fierce.

Please don't tighten the lid so tight that a ray of light can not shine in. I am not making any new restrictions, just asking Members to follow the same rules that we have always followed. Finally, I have no problem with things with a "remote connection" to Adam -- it is the posts that have no connect with Adam that I am talking about. For example, posting that Adam eats beef and then posting 5 recipes for great beef dish does not belong in the New and Info Thread. If you or anyone else is concerned about this, please PM me. This is not a discussion for the News and Info Thread.

Twitter is not like being here at Adamtopia.. You can't really have conversations that are longer than a couple of sentences.. I love Adamtopia because of the people here and the conversations.. but I don't mind going to a different room to discuss different musical acts or other concerts. it's not much to ask. I think we bring quite a bit over here that might be of interest.. So I'm not complaining.. and Adamtopia has lots of members ,so even if some use twitter too like I do.or if they prefer twitter doesn't have to mean that they left because of Adamtopia.. twitter is fast and easy... So much is going to happen in the next couple of months ,there will be much to talk about.. so what if It's slow,we all have our own lives... time to read a good book if bored.. or whatever..I mean we will have lots by Sunday and Monday...Geez .. Can't one find joy in some quiet sometimes???

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been out of touch, but RL has kept me pretty busy lately. I would like to belatedly thank you all for the birthday wishes on 11-20-14. Thank you, Betty, for the beautiful cake! You are quite the pastry chef! I posted some personal, very happy news in the Members News thread that I'd like to share with you all. I had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I have tried to follow along as best as possible here. I'm excited about the UK XFactor tomorrow. Hope I can figure out a stream to use. I missed all the testing today. Congrats! She is adorable! And to keep my ass out of trouble, I am SURE she will be an Adam fan! ;-)

I'm here because I thought it was the common room of the Glambert dorm. The place where we get together to watch new things, gossip, all those fun community things. Yes, because we all seem to have the same major, we tend to discuss one thing over and over again, but then that subject is endlessly fascinating. And I like walking around the room and sitting in on various discussions even if they are only tangently connected to our major and adding my two cents or moving on to another group that's really interested in something. Now when there are lots of people here the conversation is crazy, but those days it's almost always centered on our major because something major is happening. Oh those are the days. But what I hate are the days when I walk into the room and nobody is here. Oh somebody might have left a message on the chalkboard a couple of hours ago but the only thing happening is dust bunnies. On those days, I'm going "please somebody talk about something, anything". This is my living room guys, I don't have no other place to go and damn it's a downer if no one is a talkin'. Our major is into music and movies and tv shows and charities and friends. I want to be too and I don't want to have to go to some other strange dorm to have a minor discussion about it. Sure if it turns into something too regular well then we meet in someone's room 'cause we tend to get loud but usually we are eclectic and you never know what's a happenin' in the common room. That's fun. I want the fun. ^ THIS! I would hate to see more folks splinter to a separate thread for the minor sidebar conversations that flitter through. We have already lost so many to twitter when conversations got too tightly controlled, please don't let happen again. There is a big difference between a minor sidebar comment and 17 sequential posts without any mention of Adam and no relationship to Adam. That is what I had to deleted from this thread earlier today. Roger Taylor is part of Queen and work with Adam -- so discussing his interview is OK. Posting about a performer who is in the Imagine video with Adam is OK. Both have some relationship to Adam. Posting Happy Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving is fine. But if you want to post a long post about the origin of Blues music or the last fashions from Milan, there are threads for that. These are not new rules and they are not open to debate or discussion.

I need to get her alone & play his albums for her. She loves to dance! And, thank you! She is the sweetest thing ever!

A recent good example of "taking it to another room" is the Outlander discussion. Several here have read the books and are fans of the series. A link was posted for those interested in talking about it, and anyone could pop in to observe or contribute. Same has been done for Burning Man and AI when Adam is not involved. It works for me... to all.
