I've been a Beach Boys fan since I was around ten and heard their music emanating from my older sister's bedroom. When I was in grade school I remember urging my friends to call the local radio station and request "Help Me Rhonda" so it could be #1. I will turn 70 this month and am still listening and reading about the band. Looking forward to reading your posts.

Yes, welcome. It's an honor to have someone among us who goes back to the glory days.

Welcome, fdleone, from someone who is already firmly ensconced among the septuagenarians. Love the anecdote about "Rhonda". We in the UK first really became aware of the Boys when "Surfin' U.S.A." was released in June 1963 and got its fair share of airplay. Good times!

Oooff -- it's a little disconcerting to see the last poster to introduce themselves did it last year! This forum's longevity is clearly down to the commitment of its regular posters. Any other forum this sparsely populated would have floundered long ago. We may all pat ourselves firmly on the back! I fear I don't engage much in the conversations, for which I hope you'll all forgive me, but I still feel very much at home here. Long may BBT prosper!

I thought for sure he was one who'd stick around. I certainly appreciate the good conversation from our relatively small group. We're probably always going to struggle getting new members since we don't have the history of SS or the insiders of EH.

Well - at least we are troll free group. Also - all opinions are welcomed and differences accepted. Andrew does pop up here once in awhile, so we are not totally “insider” free. When one of us goes missing - it is noticed. No one would miss me on any of the other boards. I would suspect that tomtomplayboy would prefer it if I never returned to EH. 🤣

This might be the last member to post an introduction (and it feels a little odd having a discussion about status of the board on his/her intro thread), but there have been almost 20 new members to join since him/her. Sure, most don't post much, some don't post at all. But some have certainly contributed quite a bit, including Joshilyn, for example.
Not everyone creates an intro thread: the minority of members do.
Anyway, membership would matter more if we collected dues: then I'd bust my ass to round up some more. I'd like more, hypothetically.
But I'd rather have the status quo of relative peace and good conversations than more members if those members were to bring the kind of nonsense that often plagues boards. It's fine.

I had to check - I did an intro on another board - but not this one. Too late now 😉
Yeah - It would be nice to have a few more members - but the group we have is great as it is.

I think it's great that you still look in over there, so a little less of the "no one would miss me" stuff, please. The person I miss the most around here is Bellbottoms. They were all over PSF and EH before they came here. I suspect they were getting aggravation somewhere along the line. Pity.

Bellbottoms was a great member. She was diverse in her music interests, plenty to say about the Beach Boys, but also a lot more in the other threads. Much missed, I always hope she'll return.

Well - he snapped at me several months ago as you remember - and now very recently. I decided to let it go this time. Last time the mods joined in as well. Any opportunity he has - no matter how far removed from the subject - he still harps on and on about the mixing of Feel Flows and the Sounds of Summer. It’s like it’s his life’s mission. I get it dude. Now move on to something else. I’m sure Stephen and Mark know quite well how he feels. He’s not doing himself any favors.
