Nobody has posted here in quite a while. Is this board on its way out? I'm thinking about all the great threads we have had for everybody to read and post in.

^^This is indeed an important question and definitely worthwhile to think about it.

I'm going to continue coming on here and sharing. I love reading all the great shares we've had here. For the last year, I've been reading different subjects and all the individual posts. I printed out a lot of the shares and enjoy reading them.

Are there currently any places to go to share things about the Chicks? I pretty much came on here to see what people had to say. I wonder how long Nancy's brother will continue to keep this site going?

I wonder how long Nancy's brother will continue to keep this site going? Her nephew & he said in an email, he had forgotten about the site. I asked him about relinquishing it, but he made Nicci a global moderator instead. He was supposed to be getting the board back on track, but...

If this board has to close down at some point, so be it. But I'm hoping it doesn't, because I think there are things we can discuss here.
But it's pretty hard to get any news when nobody, least of all the Chicks, can tour and be out there because of the pandemic. And besides that, as people are all too aware, it is also a politically unstable and dangerous time here in America at the moment.

We are living in very disappointing times. I wonder when or if these haters will ever see the light. I look back 18 years and remember the verbal abuse I had to endure because of my license plate. I was on the Richmond Bridge here in the Bay Area when a guy in a pick up truck pulled up behind me and started honking his horn. He came by me and gave me the finger. His license plate was IH8LIBS.

And looking back, when you think about it, it seems to have gotten worse.
And in all good honesty, I would hate to see this forum go because of lack of anything going on with the Chicks, because it's the same all over; nobody can really perform to large crowds, probably not even at all this year. Even so, I still think there are things we can discuss, even if they're not necessarily Chick-centric.

I agree erik. We can talk about all the wonderful DXE CHIX things we have experienced over the years. The other day my daughter reminded me of the time she and I were driving from San Diego to San Francisco. I had timed the trip to coincide with Natalie singing the song Mother on stage at a Ben Harper concert at the Hollywood Bowl. We loved it and realized it was the only one song concert we had ever been to together.

Another thing to consider is that social media has made forums like this one less popular over the years. My most favorite Indian artifact forum died a few years back, and without personally having any social media, I have no contacts in the artifact community aside from family and friends. Anybody consider creating social media for CRCR? If the forum ever goes away, you'll still have the social media pages.
Also, I know that nobody being able to have legitimate tours is a huge financial burden for everyone involved, and Sony supposedly having plans to put more money into the Chick's album/tour than any other act could be something to consider. I wonder if these circumstances will cause the DCX to want to sign with Sony to do one more album and a tour. I don't know why not, they know Sony has faith in them and they know Sony wants them to have a successful album/tour combo like they have done before. Sony wants their money, dammit!
At this point in time, a covers album like they originally had planned would be an excellent idea. It would help bring attention to a new tour and not take away any steam when they perform Gaslighter songs.

I hope not. We have all been through a lot together. I love the chicks but not set me free

I hope not! I recently rediscovered this message board. Nancy did an amazing job creating the space for dedicated fans of Chicks to stay up to date on what they’re up to as well as content of memorable performances and rarities. Nearly 20 years ago I would mail Nancy like $5 and she would send me copies of some awesome shows. Those include: vote for change tour 2004, on the fly, Austin city limits 1999 and 2007. I hope she is at peace and jamming out to MMXVI your live album and of course Gaslighter.

I think ProBoards (who host this site) have been appealing for more support generally. That may be a sign of the dominant position of the social media giants, taking traffic away from more traditional forums.
But apart from that, I see no reason to believe that this particular forum is in imminent danger. True, posting is low and many former regular members have gone - but hasn't that been the case for several years? I'm afraid I'm guilty of posting much less than in the past, but I think that is, at least in part, due to the dearth of musical activity at present. Through no fault of their own, artists are severely limited in the amount (and size) of live events they can currently perform at. Also, I feel that two additional factors may have increased the relative lack of public attention focused on the Chicks. One is the long hiatus that must have broken many links. And (though some may disagree with this) I fear that Gaslighter may have been divisive, and perhaps either musically disappointing or stylistically challenging to a large part of their traditional fan base. There was a flurry of excitement on the release, but it seemed to subside quite quickly, and in the Country world that I know best, they are just not being talked about now (and among the younger fans, I do think that has much more to do with the nature of the new music and lack of reinforcement from the artists themselves than to any political prejudice)
But that said, I see no reason why the message board should be on the brink of closure.

This place is a breath of fresh air, in comparison to facebook/instagram. Jeeze. Hot beds for hate, anger, and bitterness.
