CarcrashBandicoot

This is 'Scarface' and it's unreleased stop posting that stuff here.

What if when Lana said that HM was similar to the first two albums, she meant AKA, which is why she's implementing some of the lyrics from AKA. "I put the radio on" and "Lights, camera, acción, I'll do this on my own"

I like this idea. I love AKA!!!!! I hope there are more references back to it like with HBTB!

inb4 she goes blond after the album launch

Me too, I'd like especially a song á la Born to die (song), it sounded so heavenly
 
@@CarcrashBandicoot I agree with you, there are Lizzy references in these songs she released and she seems more herself, more natural in her song. Seems like Lana Del Rey has been a character and now she's giving us her true self who is Lizzy

well we have a new album here in 3 or so weeks.. thats some thing..

praise this reply
 
finally some...positivity 
 

This is happening again?  :facepalm:     Such a big fucking mess. Nothing is happening at all. What release date? Lana's such a liar boo hoo 

What about the bangs too? And the instagram profile picture from the AKA era? It all makes sense

*waits for my purple name/supporters status*

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! 

this is great! but it doesn't tackle the fundamental problem of lanaboards which is moderation. moderators do not have enough power to effectively do their job here. I don't mean to be shady and bring it up here but every other attempt of a moderator reaching out to you regarding this has been ignored, even attempted monetary negotiations. please tiarnan, we want lanaboards to be able to be a great forum, talk to us

Hello! So, Keeping this community isn't free, and it isn't possible to make much money from the ads.
 
"As you know back at the start of April when West Coast first aired we faced two days of downtime. This was because our server wasn't able to cope with the huge load of people trying to access the forum (over 50,000 people trying to access the forum on April 14th) We expect the demand to exceed this when Ultraviolence is finally released and the events leading up to it. We have now agreed with our server provider to allow the server spec to grow automatically when the demand meets exceeds our current specifications." 
 
This was back in the Ultraviolence era, since then the growth of the forum has skyrocketed. In the month of July alone we're had 750,000 people try and access the site which led to multiple instances of regrettable downtime... So far in August, just under 1 million people have tried to access the forum... The server that we are currently on isn't able to keep up with this demand, and the further demand that the new era will bring.
 
Because of this we're asking you for a small contribution to help support this place and keep it running. Any and all money that is contributed is funneled strictly towards the monthly server/software bill. Not a single penny is pocketed for personal use. I created Lana Boards because I adore Lana and love being able to create and join in on a place where we can all stay up-to-date on news and socialise with each other. I truly enjoy this place and never desire to make a penny off of running it. The time I put into this place is solely out of passion for music and a strong desire to create a nice space for everyone to interact on.
 
To keep things completely transparent, I currently pay $950 a year for our forum software and our server. I don't mind picking up some of that tab myself, but just if you enjoy this place, it would help out if you could make a small donation to help pay that bill.
 
If you have any questions, feel free to send them my way.

Of course, MTWBT, Freak, and The Blackest Day. I feel like in Religion, she'll say something along the lines of "You're my religion" or something. God Knows I Tried sounds like an interesting title, too

Honestly though, China.Palace has been exposed multiple times to be full of shit, why are we even talking about them 

Hi! I'm new here so I don't know if this has been asked before but which song are you most excited for on HM? Personally, I'm really interested by unique or unusual song titles (think Marina's unreleased "I'm Not Hungry Anymore") so "Music to Watch Boys To" gets me pretty excited but "Swan Song" also interests me

I'm glad we have info on this now, though. At least it's not a surprise album dropping random. 

AND THIS FUCKING TIME SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT WHEN SHE WANTED TO RELEASE IT (and when it actually would....)

Im annoyed by the BTD stuck fans lol move on already bitch, its been 3 years. You are becoming the "The Fame" stuck monsters lol

Can we make a thread somewhere and have a place where each week's HM Hotline is recorded and we have it all stored so we never lose it. Idk if she'll have "Press 9 for page 2 of options" and everything will still be how it is now just added stuff or what
