FROGGO

This is a really frustrating thread. We are doing everything that we can. The problem isn't a lack of moderators, it's the lack of power that moderators have to do their job effectively. How hard is this to understand? We can only do so much and then you guys come here and shit on us. Great.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU!!

I'm definitely co-signing this. Ata hit the nail on the head on here: it would be AMAZING if we never had any downtime again, but it wouldn't solve the problem of staff being unable to effectively moderate. If I had a nickel for every time I had to reply to a PM with, "I'm sorry, only @@TIARNZUS is able to do this; you'll have to contact him", man, I would be hella rich at this point. Moderators here are essentially regulated to glorified janitors. We clean up spam, we merge threads, and unfortunately, dole out the odd warning point and remove posting privileges. Menial tasks. We don't have the power to IP ban/delete member accounts, we can't fix the default icon limbo, we can't add sub-forums (i.e., 2014, 2015), we had to abandon Member of the Month because moderators lacked the power to change the sidebar... All the power to run the forum effectively is concentrated on you. This centralized power is not good and as a result, the forum is suffering. What adds insult to injury is when we bring up problems and you essentially ignore us and fail to even acknowledge the problems. I don't think other members should be privy to the words in this post (I would have much rather discussed this privately), but you repeatedly ignore PMs, the Staff Chat, and attempts to reach out to you on Facebook. It's just not cool. I know that you rilly love this forum and I know you've put a lot of work into creating a site where we have an amazing community of Lana fans. I'm happy to have made so many new friends and I love the inside jokes, the shade , and the camaraderie and we all really do owe that all to you! We just want to help you make this amazing forum better, so talk to us Tiarnan!

I'm fairly certain Freak will be a reworked version of this song. It has Lana written all over it!

I just went through all 24 pages of this thread for inspiration to finally organize my Lana iTunes LIbrary! I found some really nice covers here, and unfortunately I've been unable to find these on my own. I thought I might repost the snapshot of the covers and tag the people that posted the original image in the hope that you might post the full-sized version So if you're tagged, or just so happen to have the original size of the following covers, pretty please post them and I will love you 'til the end of time.... @@silver starlet @@microgrooove @@DanCastro @@Rafael, @@Jordan - I'm IN LOVE this album art and I need this so bad!! (I know the album art is DUKE's but he's no longer here and his original post no longer has a working img link)

- The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean. @@SitarHero, I think this might be it but I can't recall: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/9027984/Lana-Del-Rey-interview-new-album-Born-to-Die-is-a-beautiful-thing.html But its not necessarily about Video Games

Her voice sounds amazing and not lethargic and hazy yesssssssssssssssssss

I'm hoping that 24 includes a Neil Young reference!! Old man, look at my life 24 and there's so much more, Live alone in a paradise That makes me think of two

Take that back!!!

Off topic, but can you PLEASE make your videos on youtube public again!! I love them and I miss listening to your music and watching your music videos

PLEASE STAY FOR THE NEW ERA WE NEED YOUR TPD INSIGHTS

...wtf, it won't let me do it either. @@SitarHero??

A poll in this thread? What would you like the question(s) and options to be?

Black definitely, because raven-haired girls are hot

First one singing her praises.

May 7th is my birthday! Hope everyone that's attending has fun!

I was just testing out whether posting worked because other people are experiencing a glitchy forum!! I definitely don't mean what I wrote!!

ignore this

WHY DON'T PHOTOGRAPHERS DIRECT HER TO SMILE MORE??
