Figure of 8 section - has it served its purpose now?
-
It's not harming anything by being here, but isn't it about time the 'Figure Of 8' forum section closed? It's slowed right down now and there's nothing here that couldn't be safely discussed elsewhere, either in 'Rock Show', 'The Broadcast', 'NSABB' or 'BOTR' depending on the subject. It's been a while since 'Live8' now... Like I say - it doesn't matter to me, this section's quite inoffensive and is still being posted in (albeit very little) but in a while it may start to be a little strange that there's still an existing section for an event which took place a few months ago. Any thoughts? Is it time to pull the plug just yet?
-
Yeah, I was thinking that. This was good like 4 months ago when Live 8 covered every page but now it's quieted down and the only discussion about it is gonna be the release in a few months when. That would fit into Not Such A Bad Boy or Broadcast.
-
Thanks for the reply randompaulfan... not many people seem to post in this section any more. I personally think that the issues discussed here could be incorporated into other sections now. It just makes one less section of the board to check if they shut this one down.

This section of the messageboard is....... coming like a ghost town. If it stays can we have the the Fun Boy Three song playing over it to give it a bit more of the haunted atmosphere? .....bands don't play no more

I was thinking the same thing.

this is the first time i've ever even been to this forum. i agree, it's kinda pointless to have now that live8 has been and gone.
-
I posted a lot in that forum around the time of Live 8, but it's probably time for it to say bye-bye.
-
I think i've posted in here once before but since it seems that the Live8 stuff is done we don't really need this forum anymore.
-
Close 'er down, boys!
-
Not to disagree with any of you on the matter (I've posted here before you see), but honestly I didn't really even have a clue that there was a bonafid point to this forum.
Totally laughing at the moment (excuse me for a moment as I recollect myself)
... seriously tho', I really liked that song and so here I went. Go figure!

Change it to the "THE SPACE WITHIN US" forum!

Yeah but then will we find ourselves several months from now having to answer the question again? Just wondering, I think it's probably a good idea that these two before me posited.

"Figure of 8" is a Paul song from the album Flowers In The Dirt: (Well) You've Got Me Dancing In A Figure Of Eight, Don't Know If I'm Coming Or Going, I'm Early Or Late. Round And Round The Ring I Go, I Want To Know, I Want To Know Why Can't We Travel A Continuous Line? Make Love Reliable Convenant All The Time. Up And Down The Hills I Go, I Got To Know, I Got To Know. Is Is Better To Love Another Than To Go Go For A Walk In The Dark? Is It Better To Love Than To Give In To Hate? Yeah We'd Better Take Good Care Of Each Other Avoid Slipping Back Off The Straight And Narrow, It's Better By Far Than Getting Stuck In A Figure Of Eight. (Well) Figure It Out For Yourself Little Girl, It Don't Go Nowhere At All, It's Nothing More Than A Tape Loop In A Big Dance Hall. You've Got Me Running ... You've Got Me Running ... As the song indicates it's a circular step in formal dancing. This forum was set up to discuss the Live8 series of concerts which were named after the meeting of world leaders in Scotland at that time. The concerts were to promoted greater awareness of the plight of poor nations and to encourage international debt relief. There were eight world leading nations represented and these meetings which happen regularly are known as the "G8" series of meetings. So G8 led to Live8 which led to Admin naming this forum "Figure of 8" - because all our forums are named after Paul's lyrics. The fact that the song title and lyrics indicate a confusing circular situation might have been accidental - but after the event might be seen to be quite appropriate

So I guess that's a no on the Space Within US forum
