..or is nothing going on here anymore? This is a Kings of Leon forum and no one writes about the music. The only thing that is kind of visited are the "games" and song survivor type of things. Even "big" news like Talihina Sky only get a few comments, and then nobody really talks about it, it's just a few one liners. I am sorry to say this, but I think it is because a lot of people have started talk about everythingon twitter/facebook/tumblr etc. and do not use the forum anymore. Or maybe the members are not as interested in the music/lyrics as they used to be, or they don't have enought time anymore. But maybe it really is just me and I'm reading way to much into all this (well yeah I probably am ) Even though I am a rather new member here, I care about happyalone and I find it sad that Kings of Leon (the only reason we are here ) have faded into the background. I hope that this is only because there is no new music to talk about, and as soon as we get a new album it will start again. Sooo, I hope this didn't make me too unpopular now , I just had to get it off my chest. I love the idea of having a place where I can discuss about my favourite band and I don't want to stuff it into 140 characters.

I'm with you! I mean, the 30+ pages a day on the boys' threads, like it used to be when I joined, would be hard for me to moderate on my own, but I do miss the activity! I think it's mainly cos of Twitter & tumblr, which is a shame imo because of either the 140 character limit (Twitter) or the individuality (tumblr). I always really like the group-feel of a forum, but ofcourse I'm also not just gonna talk to myself here..!

I'm agree too , I try write here every day , put pics , news etc, I think people are dispersed ( including me ) in differents place twitter, FB, tumblr ( no in my case ) etc a new album? CAS has only been 5 months and we have a few days with too much news, but this is no activity. Really hope HA back to better days .I wrote for a year or so, but I have long time reading HA

I miss the action on here too. I think, along with the other sites issue though, there is also the fact that a lot of fans have moved on. That's not a criticism at all - it happens - but the majority of the people I was close to when I first joined aren't here anymore, or only pop on every few weeks or even months. I come on most days but sometimes literally nothing has happened, so I just leave again. It's sad.

I loved this forum, but I think that older members moved on and arent fans anymore, and lots of people left due to squabbles and opinions and other inter-personal problems. It got weird after a while. Also, I think those of us who found a lot of new information and photos, and rushed to post them here, and never, ever heard a "thank you" from most people--it kind of got frustrating. Like the Talihina Sky Movie--people went crazy on other sites, but here, I kind of feel like nobody really cares. So i'd rather post stuff on my Tumblr and feel the camaraderie and excitement from fellow followers than I used to feel here at one point, but dont anymore.

I feel like I'm the only "old school fan" here. Not that you new fans aren't lovely people I just know a lot of the people I used to chat with back in the day no longer come here anymore. Sad

I think alot of people stopped coming on here because the albums have gotten progressively shit.

I have also been thinking the same thing, and I think it's good someone said it. I think the reason the forum seems rather dead might be because KOL really aren't doing anything. :/ sure, they just did a couple shows.. but I think y'all know what I mean. Hopefully, things will pick back up in the summer time, but they may not. I also find a lot of things on Tumblr now, and less on here. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe people are too lazy to post them again, I don't know. I think all fan boards go through a dead period, so I hope things can change.

And I am pretty new school (on HA - not as a fan), but compared to people that post in here I'm more old school. Weird.

I'm not sure what being an 'old' fan has to do with whether you post on a forum or not? I understand it makes one miss their old buddies, but newer fans are happy to chat with leftover oldies. If all is right, everyone came to the forum for their love of the band/music.

I don't think its because there is no news. There used to be pages after pages filled with stuff like wether Milk is about milk or cum. And now we have a lot of news. I think. One is getting a baby, there is talihina sky, we have jared and nathan tweeting everyday... its like nik said, there is no excitement . I felt like I was the only one freaking out bc of the movie so I didn't fill a page with my antcipations and I think a lot of people felt this way and went to Twitter ( I did ) . We need to start confessin our little girl obsessions again

i agree with all of the above. this place has been dead but i have to admit that i am partially responsible for it and for that im sorry *hugs my fellow ha'ers*
i think my disinterest in the forum is dew to alot of different things 1 is because i have soo much stuff to do now.i have to decide if i want to stay home for school or if i should move to seatle 2 a pelethra of other personal bs and 3 because ill admit it,im over my kol high.i still love them but the high is over like a sugar rush for a toddler.
but i promise i will try to come in more often.i think if we really work at it this place can be booming like it used to. anyways love you all!

Agree with pretty much everything thats been said on here. I can remember back when I first signed up, almost 2 years ago, and it was just manic. If I didn't come on for a day, there'd be pages and pages of stuff to read through and catch up on. The other sites might have something to do with it. I know I get most of my KOL stuff off Twitter and Tumblr these days. That's probably why I don't come on here as often anymore either. The guys I met on here, I can talk to through other ways too. This forum used to be the the only way to keep in contact, but now thats changed. ill admit it,im over my kol high.i still love them but the high is over like a sugar rush for a toddler. I'm in the same kinda situation too. I love their music, and I always will but, I dunno, it just feels like the sparks slowly going.

I used to come on here multiple times per day years ago. You could share music by the band such as b-sides, get info about them and talk about concerts, share guitar tab and pictures, etc. It was a lot of fun. Then a couple years ago all the threads ended up being about everything BUT the band, such as what clothes Robert Pattinson was wearing and stupid crap similar to that. It's like 13 year olds with no life took over. 19 out of 20 threads seemed to have nothing to do with the band. There was no point of coming here anymore, so I left. I check in about every 4 months now and can't remember when I last posted anything. I'll take a quick look around now, but if everything looks like it did back then I won't waste my time here. See you in 3 or 4 months....maybe....

For me I feel like I'm kinda "over" Kings of Leon, I don't really keep up with what they're doing on here, twitter or tumblr etc. I think it might just be because I find their last two albums completely awful or maybe that I've finished in general with my cray cray fangirl phase. I still come on HA every now and then though, although thats mostly just to post in the Vampire Diaries and Supernatural threads.

ok guys i only have a sec but i thought about how to bring some life back in here. so i noticed that when there is a livestream or something my timeline went crazy and i thought why not do it here? if enough people agree that we are gonna write our little comments on here we could have the forum back. it's a lot better than twitter because you can write as much as you want and there are more people involved. I think it would be really nice if we could move the twitter chat just here.

I remember how much fun this place was a few years ago. I could spend hours on this site and I met some wonderful people on here. But now I only come here once in a while and find this place to be a bit dead. Maybe it'll change again someday.. I don't know. And I also very much agree with Dave: I think alot of people stopped coming on here because the albums have gotten progressively shit.

If all is right, everyone came to the forum for their love of the band/music. didn't mean calling myself an old fan to brag or anything, I just mean it's really went down from when I first joined in 2005. I'm more than happy to chat with any fan.
