Appetite for Discussion - a site for Guns N' Roses past and present

[Soul Monster]

Hi all,

Check out Appetite for Discussion, a new forum dedicated to GN'R past and present. This forum is meant to be a forum for fans of GN'R, past and/or present. Everyone is welcome as long as they behave nicely. Trolling is not tolerated. I would think it lies somewhere between MYGNR and HTGTH. Criticism of GN'R and band members is allowed, but members who only criticise will have to go, it is a forum for fans and fans don't just criticise. So keep this in mind. We are fans, not fanatics.

Here are some of the features:

* No ads for members
* Embedded tweets from GN'R members
* Embedded inline GN'R news from google and other news outlets
* Embedded tweets mentioning GN'R
* Largest selection of GN'R interviews found online (in construction, only visible to members right now)
* Song database with quotes from band members on individual songs
* GN'R member database with quotes from other members
* Our own Q&A section (expect a new Q&A with a former gunner to be published shortly)
* Possible to embed youtube and other media content directly in posts
* Automatic rescaling of embedded images
* A friend and foe system
* A reputation and points system (our own "Plectra System")
* Unique ranking system based on rock and roll tour positions
* VIP area with exclusive content
* Dedicated admin who add new features continuously and talk with members

Cheers,
SoulMonster

Nice layout.

Thanks! I really like the twitters on the right side myself.

Btw, I forgot to mention that we have a chat box, too.

An exclusive interview with Steven was published recently and a brand new one with Gilby where he talks a lot about GN'R is coming up in a few days .

The Gilby interview is out, a new with Poc coming soon.

Come check out the forum, lots of new members in the last few days and good activity going! http://gnr-afd.forumotion.com/

114 GN'R live shows available for downloading for AFD members! More shows are added daily!

We are currently adding a new feature to AFD, a concert database. Every concert ever played by GN'R will have its own page with lots of information, including date, setlists, attendance no., videos, line-up, venue, etc. Members may comment and add reviews. The database, which will contain at least 600 gigs when finished, will be easy browsable using a drop-down menu on the right side of the panel.

Here's an example:





We are still working on designing the layout of the gig pages and of course adding concerts. This will take some time .

Another new feature are "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" buttons on each post on the forum. By clicking these you give reputation points to the poster. The number of thumbs up and thumbs down for each post will be seen by all. You can see the buttons on this post by estebanf:



AFD is growing continuously with more activity for each passing week, in contrast to the general trend at GN'R fan fora. I encourage people to join now and get a head start on our own "cursus honorum".

And yeah, we are looking for a global moderator located in North America.

Just wanted to remind you now that there is one less board around...

The database with quotes from band members about other band members are finished!! Check it out here for Axl: http://www.a-4-d.com/t90-axl-rose

I have also finished the whole of 1988 in the concert database. Each show has its own thread with setlist info, reviews and comments from members.
