Not really sure, but VA is at least a username that posts over there.

Hey,
I can sign up on the new tribute forum from Vinnie. Amazing!!!!
Ok - I'm lucky!

[KhetenAnkh]

So how many of us have been allowed in?

Allow me to re-post what I put over in davparr's "newbie to the forum thread:

Brooklyn_Born wrote:That's not fair at all.. He doesnt even give you a chance because you have an account here...

So, does this mean that if you have an account here under one name, he can somehow find out what your IP address is and then make sure to block that address from his site, even if you sign up under a wholly different name? That isn't right. I haven't bashed VV once and have no intention to (unless he attacks me first). I have always been a staunch fan, sticking up for him when others around me were saying some pretty harsh BS. I even got beat up for it once. (A Motley Crue fan came to my rescue and kicked their butts. I'm still grateful for that. They were all twice my size at least.) How can he judge someone who has never done him wrong, no matter where they go to show their support for him?

I haven't even tried to go over the the "official" site yet. I'd like to, but if Vinnie comes here and reads everything, he might get the idea that I hate him, just because I'm here. I don't. I'm here because his site wasn't open and there was nowhere else to go. Now that I am here, I like the people and atmosphere of openness. It doesn't mean that I agree with everything 100% or 1% or somewhere in the middle. It just means that I'm a Vinnie Vincent fan and that it's somewhere that everyone who is a fan of his is welcome.

Not that I'm religious, but it is fitting: "Judge not lest ye be judged." "Thou who art without sin cast the first stone." Neither davparrr nor I did anything, but it feels like we're condemned by association. That's just not right.

If he can't read IP addresses from here, then how does he know who "we" are? How does he know if a person is using a real name or an alias? (He's not the only one who wants privacy and security.) It sounds to me like it's all really random who he allows in. How do I know that my style of writing won't tip him off? It's all pretty rotten. If he craves attention so badly, then why cut off his fan base with false accusations? Isn't that exactly what he says is happening to him? This doesn't make any sense at all.

I still support him fully. Just not on his official site. I'd rather do it with friends than in a place where you can be cast out just for a wrongly placed word or because I'm with other people I like. He's not my goddamned father.

Sorry for the long-winded post.

[Genebaby]

Your post was fine.

You have to consider that Vinnie's paranoia is getting pretty high that someone from the VVFF might slip in so new registrants are really finding it hard or impossible to sign up.

It's a catch 22 for him. The board should be made publicly viewable so the world can see what he's saying, instead of three people, and the registration should be opened back up, otherwise it will just die a slow death over there.

However, if Vinnie has become the kind of guy that could have a dinner party with skeletons, then it could go on for quite a while.

[KhetenAnkh]

Thanks. Sometimes, I just don't know when to shut up.

It's a really sad thing that he's not allowing people to come and go like in a normal site. I'm a member at a lot of places and this is the first time I've ever seen this amount of censoring. He's chopping out the roses with the weeds because he's terrified of a few dandelions. The weeds aren't necessarily even there. Sad.

I Like it !

[Genebaby]

That's a very good way to describe it.

Soon there will no garden, only a wasteland.

For sure its the only official forum that basically you can not sign up for. Deleting a user is normally a big deal on any board but not with vinnie, its normal.

He was a history of unethical behavior. He is so arrogant & psychotic (@ the same time) that deleting a member wouldn't even register with him that it may be wrong. Mark my words, he will never release product or do anything in the entertainment business again. He has burnt every bridge. No one will touch him. And now people in the industry are coming out in droves & specking out against him.(Way to go Vinnie...remind me to never take your 'how to make friends & influence people' class) If he likes it or not we were the last bastion for him having any success & he is has blown that opportunity. Don't get me wrong, I'm not cursing him. It's just fact, he will never release product or do anything in the entertainment business again.

(I really hope Mark Slaughter rips him another arsehole)

Ok, yesterday I came in - today - NOT!

Thanks Vinnie - you are a great person, really
I don't understand you..no way

sorry man that sucks
but you DID saw it comin didnt you

Don't give vinnie the trigger to a nuke. He loves locking out fans . It's sick game that only hurts himself. Just like ed roman and hundreds others have said.

[PinkWiz]

unfortunately i believe vinnie is on his last few legs of sanity... to stoop as low as fighting with fans on a message board proves that. nope, he will never do anything in the entertainment business again (well watching him sue people and fight loyal fans could be viewed as entertainment i guess).

[Genebaby]

It's not a good look for a celebrity. Can't think offhand of anybody else that behaves this way.
