yes WAR has broken out and many have died.

James Lofton was wounded badly and is believed to be in hiding on the border of HTGTH and MYGNR.

the .NET ppl are changing their name or are working on it or something like that... were working on revamping the old site at the moment.. stay tuned.

Am I reading that correctly? That there has been a schism, and he is essentially running a mirror site/forum?

Yea, I think he has some real tricks up his sleave! he didnt want any ? asked im told.. The whole getting a name of your own and building a site and making it your own thing was a turn off to him.. I guess thats why his other three forums flopped.. what were they called? So hell just remake a site.. call it your own and say the other ones the fake..

I highly doubt lifting the name was out of laziness, or lack of creativity. It was done so in order to obtain the crowd that went along with it, and out of malice.

So really, what happened!?!?  Did you and Lofton have a falling out Brody?  Aren't you the one who started ROV?  In absense of a GNR feud and/or cd release, this is as close as we can get to good GNR drama  :hihi:

Details!!  : ok:

my site went offline.. I was having some hosting problems..

I should have the right to take my site offline for a period of time correct? I mean if jarmo took his site down for a period would it give us the right to create htgth2? NO!

So basically I ignored JAMES threats of creating a new site while mine was down! Never did i know he was crazy enough to just try and steal mine! I was under the impression with all of his GNR Community CRED! he could just create a new site with a new name and new design.

So ya thats what happend.. I started rov.. simple as that!

Yeah, I'm afraid I wont be registering with this new fake ROV.  Fact is, it was a good forum... why steal the name?  That's pretty fucking evil if you ask me.  Start a new forum by all means, but don't steal the old name.  That's fucking lazy and immoral.

He did it to take the members with him. He closed his site prior to that due to lack of participation, throwing a huge tantrum in the process on his mod board :'(.

You are all forgetting that a majority of the GnR community is Pro-Lofton. At least thats what some douche bag said.

Brody, why do you keep throwing gasoline on the fire?

Seriously dude, no one cares about your silly excuse for ROV, since what made that site was the people that posted there. Stop acting like thousands of people cant wait to join your site, and stop trying to diss the people that tried to form a new community when they thought you had completely bailed. Maybe you shouldn't have ignored Lofton's "threats" and actually responed to tell him what was up.

Silly excuse for ROV? Wasn't he the guy that started ROV!?!?!  Forming a new community is one thing, taking the guys site name is another story.  While I have no vested interest in ROV.com or .net - from an outsiders POV its pretty fucked up/dick to take the guys URL name.  Why not just create a new site with a new name?

obviously, at the time they thought Brody was unreachable, and was done with ROV, so they started a new one, with the same name, since all the staff was the same, and at that point there was no other ROV.

That don't mean shit. My opinion of rov is pretty well know, but stealing the site name, design and all that shit is pretty fucked up. That would be like the staff here stealing the name and design from Jarmo if the place went offline. You just don't do that kind of shit.

agreed, i think this was very opportunistic in a very sneaky way.  My guess is someone saw a chance to seize control and become the top dog so they took it regardless of how unethical and sneaky it was.

gnr corrupts the soul!  :hihi:

Of course they changed the name of the .net site,it sucked anyway,and yeah I did join the .net site because I didn't know what happened to Roses of Velvet,but then I was banned from the .net site because I just stated that Brody's site was the real Roses of Velvet and  Lofton's site wasn't. :smoking:

Why is anyone surprised that it came to this? Both of the main individuals in this dispute are assholes, and I feel comfortable stating that because, to quote the true Brody from Mallrats "We can sense our own." So think about it, put two assholes together, settle down D, and eventually this was bound to happen.
