re: tracking traffic, as far as know there is no formal tracking going on here. informally i have observed there are number of lurkers who from to time popup and post. i'm guessin' traffic increases when shows sellout and people are looking for tickets, venting etc.
most forum visitors who come here to vent aren't likely to stick around anyways. the forum will never be as active as one for a platinum selling act like Pearl Jam or a teenie-bop band like All American Rejects. the 9:30 forum is a bit like the forum over at eMusic where despite all the subscribers over there only a handful post on a regular basis.
it could be interesting to turn on and monitor how many users are indeed active at any given time…
it's a good thing I didn't make my snide remark about a subset of fans likely to attend this show, as it appears that forum admins/mods are required to robots without personalities.

Hi Seth I'm new here too! I like the Pixies, Frank Black of course <ha> alot of indie music like Concrete Blonde, totally love Modest Mouse, and PJ Harvey, and a little country like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. I went to Sonar and saw the Pixies but I haven't been to the 9:30 in a while and now and I'm outta touch with whats hot at the 9:30…I'm thinking about tickets to the WU TANG Clan thingy… Is it a rock venue or a rap venue? Maybe, if I come in here often enough I'll learn alot about whats hot and what not..

This board has good and bad. People who are morons and are mean love the attention.
There was an article in TIME about a woman who wrote a book about people and how they conduct themselves on the internet. She said mostly people act as they would if they were drunk.
You betcha, eh?

Hey Freddy,
Welcome to our country! I am sure you will find Americans very friendly, unless you are French Canadian. There are a few mean people around, but most of us are really nice peeps.
I am familar with this band UB40. They did a fine cover of Neil Diamond's "Red, Red Wine". Correct?
Unfortunately, we won't be able to join you for the show. We'll be in Charlottesville running the Charlottesville Marathon. Perhaps you could come out to C-ville and cheer us on? We'd really appreciate that. They say it's really hill out there, and not the easiest of marathons.
Anyway, welcome to our country, and have an awesome show.
Your pal,
Charlie

Be careful Freddy.
There are some people on this board who will do anything to sell you a ticket.

He started another thread about the concert just before the show, so I'm still not sure.

sometime ago, but i don't remember exactly when, a person on here posted this same basic question. i can't be sure if they were from canada or not, but it did involve coming to the club to see ub40 and everybody jumped on their shit, just like this. i can't believe nobody remembers that. me thinks freddie has been playing his ipod too loud and using his laptap way too long to watch dvds just to see who's watching what he is watching.
