Thank you - John and all the other forum-members - for NOT stopping this one!!! It`s a great place with great people!!! I always enjoy to read your comments and opinions!!!! Cheers to the forum and it`s members!!! Yeah. This is great forum. Many metal forums have aggressive or jerk members creating bad spirit. I consider many people here as friends to me.

well, i looked it up and here's what i found. i created the admin login just before my birthday on Oct 11, 2004, at 8:29pm. I had always wanted a u.d.o. fan forum and finally got the "OK" from Udo to do it. i modeled it loosely after the Running Wild fan forum of which i was a major active member at that time. it started rather slowly but began to gain steam after a few months. although there are many people that have come here, registered and never posted (why? i do not know), there have always been about 15 - 20 of us as a core membership. some of those have gone but others have stepped up and come in to take their place. we've lost 2 very dear members to God only knows what. those are Ooro (suicide?) and Bittor (disappeared). only one person has ever been banned for life on the forum because of content. others have been banned because of spam, but forcing everyone to be a member in order to post has stopped that. we've all laughed together and cried together over a number of topics ranging from how great the band is or was, how great Udo is - all the way down to some very and most personal and private issues too. nothing seems to be off topic here. this is the most friendly and respectful forum i've ever been to. everyone here is considered a close and personal friend of mine no matter what. it's like a world-wide family. we don't always agree, but we always respect everyone's opinion and their right to their opinion. personally i come here almost every day to see how everyone is doing and to read opinions from around the world. You are the HEART of this, John... THANKS!!!

so today when i typed udo into my browser, i accidentally clicked on the official site. so i went to the links section and noticed that they have a fan sites section. and of course this forum is not listed. they've got every other fan site listed except this one. even former members sites! they just can't get over the criticism of sk. even after they fired him and now know that it was the best thing to happen to the band and most importantly is that i was right about him trying to destroy UDO from the inside. yet they can't even throw me a bone and list the fan forum on their web site. pitiful.

Still I don't understand the reason for SK to destroy the band from inside. Now he is in cooperation in Accept but he could hardly knew it beforehand. If it really was the way, it is the best - planned covered op in the world.
Several days ago I open Acceptworkdwide.com and found no info about their first singer. Ridiculous but it is this way.
Probably , they feel blind rage.
