Hi, I'm new to this board but not new to Beach Boys fandom. I used to participate in the alt.* news groups, then the Surf's Up and PSML mailing lists. So I've been around. I was lamenting the lack of places to really discuss the Beach Boys, especially after spending some time on a certain Facebook page where you're automatically labeled a "hater" and can get banned for saying you don't like a song or disagree with something certain band members say or do. Then I saw this board mentioned on Smiley Smile (where I mostly just lurk), and popped over. Suddenly, it felt like I was back among my people, something I haven't really felt since PSML basically collapsed. So, happy to be back among you. I look forward to reading more crazy, in-depth analysis of minutiae. Believe me, I mean that in a good way.
Scott Rhoades

We don't play that here. Welcome to the board, Scott!

Hi Scott, I recognize your name from PSML. Welcome to the forum. As Mike said, we don't do any of that FB stuff in here. We are glad to have you here with us.

I suspect I know which FB page… I got banned (for using a lauging emoticon), let back in, had a loooooong email from the guy who runs it about free speech or something…
Our moderators are so enlightened it's unreal; they have to pass a test – you'll love it here; welcome!

Yeah...I kind of looked around to make sure that was true before I registered. But knowing several of the people around here, I figured that would be the case.

I've said it before (I'm old) but this place feels like the beloved boards of yore (with less Hank Briarstem 😢).

Welcome Scott, to where the ol' farts hang out, talking fondly of the ol' times. It's when they get a bit over-excited about the new times that many of us begin to experience palpitations, but it all happens in a cosy atmosphere of friendship and fun. Get stuck in and you'll enjoy every minute.
