As you all know, evboard has been a huge forum for the fans of evanescence. Today it closed and is currently a paid subscriber only forum. There was alot of amy drama... ALOT... I miss evboard... but at this moment I don't feel like becoming a PS.

So for those of you that know what happened, what is your opinion on it? if you were a non paid subscriber of evboard, will you switch to become a PS? Why or why not?

For those of you that are curious...

Evboard/Amy controversy

I think it was a cheap shot of the admin. to badmouth Amy twice. First, he posted their correspondence on the board, then he trashed her response in the link posted above. This is pretty much what their conversation consisted of (paraphrased by moi):

ToB: Amy, you need to start helping with EvBoard or it will close. This board has been a good source of publicity to you and you have called it your site, so do something.

Amy (to her manager): I'm not dealing with this. I'm trying not to get upset at the nerve of this guy.

Considering this is the second time ToB has asked Amy for a handout and tried to make her feel responsible for the board HE is in charge of, I don't think her response was inappropriate. Who needs the admins of fan sites contacting you personally to ask for money?

Also, considering the actual conversation, it was a bit rude and unfair for ToB to post on the update that Amy was rude, without even bothering to present what her side of the story might be.

ToB, in my limited experience, gets pissed off and feels victimized often. IMO, I wish EvBoard had been sold to someone who actually wants to run it and will enjoy the job.

I've paid for two years because of the community, or the community there was.

I think ToB had every right to ask Amy for some help. Yes, maybe he could've gone about it in a nicer way, but I think he was at the end of his tether. And Amy did not answer in the politest fashion either, which is why he showed the email.
Remember it was Gabe's forum originaly.

ToB ended up getting more money from the recent sale than what Amy was offering.

He seems like a very bitter guy though, it seems like he hadn't cared about the forum for a while.
