At least for a while. We were getting hit with Texas Holdem spam coming from a variety of spoofed IPs, and this was the quickest way to stop it. |

Never let it be said that Ryan ins't the most fast acting admin out there. In a similar situation Dumbrella lost two whole boards before we were able to get RStevens to look outside of his Diesel Sweeties board. |

Aw shucks, I just happened to be in front of my computer at the time! We'd gotten some guest spam before, but this was the first that was actively attacking even as I deleted posts and blocked IPs. Shuck that jive!
There are options for turning it back on. We could use those things where you have to type in a phrase or something in order to post as a guest - these can be gotten around pretty easily, but most people give up. BUT, it can be annoying. |

You might get rid of the guest spam, Ryan!
But you'll never get rid of (my shadow, and you'll never get rid of) me!

Eidam that's uncanny! After I read that, but before I discovered what the tiny-text said, I was singing that song in my head! |

You won't be able to say goodbye to me, David Bowie.
I refuse to turn my back on the people who have made me what I am. |

Mr Bowie!
I was listening to your fine recordings this very morning! I even bothered to look through the liner notes.
It said 'Fame' was written in part by John Lennon. What's with that? It didn't sounds very Lennoniscious. |

Good question, Andrew.
John did indeed help write 'Fame'. I invited him to the studio, and John played rhythm guitar on a jam session that resulted in this. I met John less than a year earlier, at a party thrown by Elizabeth Taylor. John was one of my idols, and we became good friends.
John came up with the title. At first, he was saying something like "Aim," but then he muttered "Fame," and I liked that, and wrote the lyrics around it.
It's about what it is like to be famous. I often had conversations with John about how fame took away parts of our lives.
My guitarist at the time, Carlos Alomar, came up with the guitar riff. It was based on a song called "Foot Stompin'" by The Flares, which I had been performing on tour back then. So, to answer your question, John did not have much input into the music, but did help shape the idea and lyrics of 'Fame'. |

David Bowie sure knows a lot about David Bowie.
Dear David Bowie,
Is Iggy Pop a pretty smart guy? |

Okay so I turned it back on, pending more abuse! A new address with a lower google rank should keep us off most spammer's radar. |
