[/quote:mty82rxn]Yeah, I had to reacquire some items from last year’s liquidation. plus some new goodies hahaha
My list is dwindling, thanks to some recent, albeit EXPENSIVE transactions:
0. Machina II vinyl
1. Machina II US Virgin 4CD promo set
2. Mellon Collie FR promo 2CD
3. Cherub Rock 7\" t/p (clear/black), Today 7\" t/p (black), Rocket 7\" t/p (peach – if it exists)
4. Siva 12\" WLP (if it exists)
5. Siamese Dream multicolored vinylI found my Siamese Dream ZA CD, along with some other ones. Still searching for the Gish ZA pressing, if anyone has it…
welcome back! please please carry on discussing this topic. i made a decision to lock this temporarily and i stand by that decision. no censorship was conducted, and i will not falter on that note either.
either way, i have nothing more to say on this topic, as it is all speculation, in my opinion. but please continue if you have gathered any facts that you would like to share with the group.
I understand Sven’s reasoning. Actually totally agree with him, about censorship. However, it’s done. The topic is locked. It’s not censored. I purposely did NOT delete it for that reason. So leave if you must, but you are being a bit of a hypocrite.
one last thing, geo does not run this site. one man does. his name is arthur. anything moving forward has funneled through the van peltian ears or eyes, and i believe has it’s own matrix coded stamp of approval.
i also think there is a big difference between our site and twitter. they serve very VERY different purposes.
say whatever you want here. on twitter, we shall use discretion. it’s kind of, i don’t know, professional?
i don’t understand this. on july 4, 2007, i personally wrote the welcome to the forum message that states:
\"Please post about any and every topic you deem necessary. We encourage all discussion(s). However, please refrain from unwarranted personal attacks or constant negativity. If this is why you are here, please leave. We are searching for a positive community at SPfreaks. Please join our community and help us create the best band forum on the net!\"
what in the fuck has changed since then? we have been about a positive atmosphere here the ENTIRE time, we’ve had absolutely no problems maintaining it, and will continue to do so, whether or not sven feels like we are censoring things. there are plenty of threads about songs we hate, what in the fuck is going on?
Another suggestion:
Links to homepage articles that actually have their OWN page, so it can be backlinked directly, not buried under a pile of more recent articles
I also think the Billy photo is THE staple of SPfreaks. It goes nowhere.
Introduce a CAPTCHA interface for new users to verify authenticity when signing up.
A&R Dallas also pressed these:
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=3233
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=3236but the matrix codes look like matrix codes. nothing funky there…
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=2764
here is an example. it’s not coded. it’s just fun
i don’t know what you want us (SPfreaks) to do? we have this forum, we’ve discussed the entry, and i’ve stated it will be entered into the database. should we dwell on it? what’s left to say? the rest, right now, is pure speculation, we have to wait for the facts to come out…[/quote:34w6p9hb]
that’s why you need to get this out in the open.
either per Twitter or me mailing the guys at the pressing / mastering plant and Monte and the management.
and the media.it’s not about dwelling on a topic.
it’s about trying to find out what happened, when, where and why or how?!the facts won’t come out of thin air if there’s no mention of this to the band or anything.
now, it’s about getting the history straight and put together.
the factual matter is correct; these are the matrix codes in our copies. these are the messages.
next stage: please explain…[/quote:34w6p9hb]it is out in the open. monte had notified the band before you had emailed them. that’s how we know billy is offended and more than likely hurt by this. this is his (imo) iconic album as a band, and it’s pissed on by some fuck either at the pressing plant or by whoever was in charge of the reissues to begin with. or, this could be some sort of a joke and billy is in on it. point being, our frontpage article would say:
Hey look at the matrix codes!
FUCK YOU
SUCK MY DICK
LICK MY PUSSY
WE LOVE YOUdo we really want that on our FRONTPAGE? no. do we want it in the collection. ABSOLUTELY.
also, i am not friends with billy, spfreaks is not friends with billy, but i like to think of it as respecting a friends wishes. maybe that’s just me.

bram, i think you know there are enough negative websites around that claim to be supportive fans of the band, yet everything you read on the website is bitching and moaning etc. it’s a drag.
this site doesn’t generate a lot of forum traffic, and honestly, probably never will. we could totally put this up as a leading story on our homepage, but even then, probably not many people will read it.
i think the main thing is, we want to concentrate on collecting and all of that. that’s not to take away anything from what you discovered, because i think what you found is like one of the biggest stories i’ve ever heard of (with respect to smashing pumpkins vinyl). why is it there? who actually did this? what does it mean?
but we have it on good word that the band is upset about this, so we think it best to not draw attention to it. that being said, if anyone has read this thread, they know the deal. we are not hiding anything, and i will be putting the matrix codes up as released into spfreaks. the information will be here, because that’s what we do. and you, specifically, are a big reason why we are able to release this kind of information to the public.
