its probably because marina's stuff has gone viral recently, whereas a lot of charli's viral stuff has been unreleased songs or unofficial mashups

girl what? none of that is correct

members on here make way better merch than lana's team does, so I personally would be totally into that

Regarding people being upset about differences of opinions: I think it’s one thing to say you don’t prefer ads and another thing to speculate on someone’s finances (which is nobody’s business) and to make very unfair judgements on someone you don’t even know.

So much drama for a simple question lol, some people really are insufferable

In the end it’s pretty clear this ad thing is going to be an excuse for some members to leave. Ironically, the members who have been complaining about Lana for the past year are the ones who are talking about leaving now, and it’s really sad. The way this whole conversation is going is sad too. I’ve never felt the site is unfair and it’s sad some people think it is. 
 
I support what’s best for the site and if we need an extra ad pop up or donation/supporter/ad free payments to help the site that’s okay with me. 
 

It caught me by surprise the first time it popped up, but you can X out immediately and be dropped into the page you were trying to reach. If it's significantly increasing ad rev then you should absolutely keep it!
 
Another thing now that I've read some of the other posts: Elle literally saved the entire old forum that some of us were a part of from extinction and to treat her that way is totally uncalled for. Perhaps a purge of some of the users from this decision would be worth it in the long run after seeing some of the people that have joined in the last few years 

this thread.... 
 
elle isn't jeff bezos she isn't a billionare sucking money from the masses just to add insignificant wealth to her insane net worth...
it's also kinda (really) rude to speculate on her finances. have you ever thought maybe she doesn't want to have to significantly change her way of living in order to fund a website covered in scat porn 3 out of 7 days of the week

I'm sorry, again I'm really really really trying my hardest to keep my composure here and not come off in any sort of way, but it was extremely inappropriate of you to speculate my expenses, which by the way, have been made up of things I've bought over the past 9 years. Just because in the past I was able to comfortably buy some things does not mean it has always been that way, or is still that way. Also, a cumulation of things bought over the span of 9 years isn't really a concrete display of my current state - especially given the times we're in. I'm a human, I have debt. Aside of LanaBoards related things that people may request to know, are my personal debts/expenses really anyone's business? No. So, respectfully, please do not speculate on them.
Furthermore, I opened the floor on this matter to gather opinions rather than making a decision without consulting you all first (which I totally could have done by the way and would have had every right to, but I did not feel comfortable doing so.) This wasn't me being desperate for cash or begging for donations, this was me recognising a good opportunity for the site so I wouldn't have to pay as much out of pocket for the site. But I wanted opinions from those who make the community what it is.
I'm not rich. Far from it. & while I willingly pay for this site and will continue to do so no matter what, I just wanted to gather opinions on the possibility of generating more revenue to go into the site - not to profit from.
I believe there was a more respectful way to share your opinion against the vignette ads. If you have any further thoughts that are related to my personal matters, you are free to DM me to discuss further. I also apologise for being so candid here, I tried to bite my tongue on this, but I just really felt this was very inappropriate given what this is all about x

w-w-wait a minute! people don’t like spinning?  i stream it daily...the bands in town performance made me obsessed 

I just had the most bizarre experience, and I feel the need to share.
 
Someone asked me what brand a certain Lana dress I had was, and because I was too lazy to go upstairs, find the dress, and look at the tag, I decided just to go through my order confirmations in my email to find the order that would've said the brand. Well, while I was searching through all my orders, I found an order confirmation from 2017 that showed I had purchased Zella's Man on the Moon/Hunnie Pie 7" white vinyl. I literally don't even remember purchasing it. I've actually been hunting for both versions of the vinyl for awhile now (there's a white & a red reissued version, and I always seem to miss them despite the fact they aren't widely sought after and only go for $20 on resale) because I thought I didn't own either. I was so confused by this order confirmation because, seriously, I didn't remember ever ordering and receiving one. I checked the date on the order, and in 2017 I was living in Brooklyn. I moved out of Brooklyn in 2018 and I unpacked the majority of my stuff - important things like clothes, makeup, jewelry, collectables, etc. I thought I would have maybe kept the vinyl in the same drawer I kept all my CDs and such in while in Brooklyn since it was a 7", but when I looked in my room to check if I had the CDs from Brooklyn indicating that I had unpacked them, they were there. So I'm thinking ??? Where the hell would I have put this vinyl? Did I even ever unpack it? Did I really even ever receive it? Is this all an illusion??
Well, because I hate unpacking, I still have 5 unpacked boxes of stuff from my Brooklyn flat in my hallway (3 years later) and the rest are in storage. I had no clue of what box I would have even put it in because I wasn't even that sure of where I would have kept it while living in Brooklyn (and I was really hoping it wasn't in a box in storage.) I started digging through my boxes in the hall, and guess what I found in a box that contained random kitchen stuff - the Zella Day Man on the Moon/Hunnie Pie 7" red vinyl.
I'm so fcking confused.
Not only do I not have any recollection whatsoever of ever owning either of the MOTM/HP vinyls, but the order confirmation says I ordered the white vinyl and the one I found in my Brooklyn boxes is the red one?? Did the person I order the vinyl from mislabel which version they were selling? Did I order both and somehow lose all memory of ever ordering either?  Is there still another Zella Day Man on the Moon/Hunnie Pie 7" vinyl on the loose somewhere in the depth of my belongings?? Also, a corner of the sleeve is bent - was this a result of it sitting in an unpacked box of random stuff for 3 years or was it already bent before then?? I don't know because I don't even remember originally ordering & receiving it!!
I'm very glad I discovered that I at least own one of the vinyls so I can cross it off my ISO list, especially since the red one is actually the more limited one, but this whole experience has left me with a whole lot more questions than answers. & I still have yet to find the brand of that Lana dress someone asked about that led to this whole experience.
 
That's all, thank you for listening x

Not all of you coming for Folklore when she's serving you incredible songs like the last great american dinasty, ephiphany, this is me trying or exile, and all of the others tbh all are amazing songs the only ones that barely remember me of Lana are the ones from the love triangle, maybe because they're about love I guess just like most songs that came before Lana? Lol
 
The only songs that really scream Lana to me from Taylor are Wildest Dreams and Miss Americana, and te first one is an amazing Pop song, probably pop perfection, the other one not so much
