As Belladrum has launched it's own official forums, the Belladrum forum has been removed from eFestivals.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I loved it!

ahhhh, it looks like it might not be gone after all .... I've finally had a response to the emails I sent to Bella about it, so as soon as things are clarified it might well be put back again (none of the posts within it have been lost).

Shame if this was lost as many people go to multiple festivals and efestivals was a great place to flick between those we are interested in it.

Although I use the Bella Forum, it's not yet carrying the same enthusiasm or usage as the efestivals one.

Please let it stay.

Bearded Theory (BT) don't have their official forums here while also having their own conflicting official forums, which is the situation with Bella (which is currently being discussed with them to try and find a sensible resolution).

In fact, BT don't have a forum here at all. What there is is a "My Festival Group" that has been created by BT-goers, along with a forum for that group. Someone visiting these forums wouldn't be aware of the forum's existence unless they joined that group - it's a hidden forum unless a member of that group.

The official Belladrum forum is dead - compeltely, not that I'd even consider posting on it.

Does this mean the Efests one will come back?

It is still there.

Maybe Iain333 means it's dead, as in nobody uses it - not dead, as in gone.

Fantastic....... the return of negativity. Great effort!!
How many times........ if you don't like the line up, don't go!! They're not going to fix the line up to suit individuals, unless you ask Santa really, really nicely.

Belladrum is always more than just the line up, although I would agree that it is important. So I would like to think the organisers use last year's "sold out" position to attract an eclectic mix of old favourites, some higher profile indie/rock/folk bands and some fairly new bands that deserve an open opinion.

My mistake. I was getting you mixed up with another Paul - he's posted negative comments in the T and Connect forums on a fairly regular basis for some time (they're there for all to see). Sorry.

What about all the positive ones too about those 2 festivals and others... or did you not notice them?

*edit* nearly 30,000 posts in over 5 1/2 years... should I only be allowed positive ones? Am sure that the amount of negative comments will be a miniscule %age of the total

Certainly not in recent times (about most things connected to DF), no. You've certainly got a right to your opinions (and with 30,000 posts it's clear you don't mind sharing them with everyone) but to have a dig at someone for negativity struck me as a tad hypocritical. Never mind.
