Collaborative Ryan Adams Collective

[Cry On Demand]

I've been thinking recently about all the Ryan Adams resources online and wanted to share some thoughts with you and possibly get some feedback.

What do we have at our disposal so far?

RyanAdamsArchive.com - The busy community.
ToBeYoung.org - Another busy community.
RyanAdamsOnline (aka Rao-Forums) - A once busy community, which used to have a large tour date and setlist database and discography, which was more dynamic that others out there.
Answeringbell.com - The biggets setlist and song histories archive available.

Now, i've never really had much contact with the creators of these sites, which is a shame really because we're all working towards, practically, the same thing.

Don't you think that it would be wonderful to combine the communities of RyanAdamsArchive.com and ToBeYoung.org into a super community, then merge that with all the information from AnsweringBell.com in the form of a super dynamic searchable database of song histories, tour dates and setlists that RyanAdamsOnline used to have?

This is all hypothetical, but something that I think is worth thinking about. I have no idea what the webmasters of the above websites would think about doing something like this, but I personally like the idea.

Do you? :)

haha, nice, answeringbell will be merging with RAA anyway so that sorts something out, however TBY has an ongoing rivalry with RAA which is unfortunate and therefore i dont think the two communities would do well merged... dont you think? ;)

I like different places for different reasons!!

And i'm banned from RAA, evidently I set up two accounts in a drunken stupor so I am not allowed on the premises. I'm in RAA jail! But, damn I would like to use some of those torrents. They taunt me.

Drunk message boarding is a bad plan.

[degausser]

Yeah, I've found that out, as people (i'm looking at you Mags) like to have fun with you at your own expense :)

try sticking the alt-country.org (the old ryanadams.org) in there ....if you really want some fun!! :eek:



...& LOL @ degausser's entertaining drunken exploits!!

I like the fact that all the RA boards are different, like there are different parts to Ryan Adams himself. RAA would be the 'the world is beautiful and so are you, peace' part, the .org the grumpy, cynic, self-effacing humor part, TBY would be the smart, thoughtful, looking at everything from a distant part, and we the 'let's share everything and help out' part. (Note: It's likely I described the different messageboards wrongly, feel free to correct)

Hah, thinking about this, no wonder Ryan has so many difficulties with himself, all those conflicting parts.
