Didnt Martha do the Torrent management way back when and other misc duties?

Hard to believe.

Over the weekend I was explaining to some people how the Internet changed everything. 

For me, it opened my eyes to all the other mutants out there.
Thank god, I really thought I needed serious help for about 15 years. 

Happiest of Birthdays to the greatest Stones board out there - bar none.  And extra special thanks to Gazza, Voodoo, and Jaxx who created an environment that has always let people express their Stonesian selves in so many different ways. 

We are all better for this connection! 

Happy Birthday to the Rocks Off message board! Big thanks go to Gazaa, Voodoo, and Jaxx for opening this up to a bunch of crazies. It's good to know that even when you disappear for a while, you still have an asylum to go to when you still need a Stones fix.

No Macdaddy and Charlotte did that.

MarthaMyDear (if thats who you mean) never had any involvement in the running of this site.

Worship together or die alone.  We are the last man standing.  We are indignant.  Rocks Off!  Rocks off whilst sleeping.

Happy Birthday Rocks Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I was just about to make myself a spinach smoothie with my Nutribullet, but since we're celebrating I think I''ll have a slice of pie with ice cream!  Yay!  Happy Birthday!

:pukey :waka-jawaka :wtf2 :aimama :pullanolte :wtf3 :stinkypost

Thank you guys for everything you fucking bastards. A lot of friendships made. That's what matters.

Tom, I think you are probably our longest surviving poster.

You, Voodoo, Jaxx and myself all met on the official message board that ran for part of the BTB tour in late 1997-early 1998.

It was when that forum descended into spam and troll hell and whoever was in charge of the official site basically lost interest in providing regular tour updates that we (along with Linda (kill4mick) launched our own message board.

are we making any money?

Nope. We dont accept ads to finance the site and never have done. We pay for it ourselves.

Yeah! Happy birthday guys and gals. You came up with a great idea, and it worked. You guys as I have said, in other ways before, are diamonds. Cheers! And just for awhile at least; ROCK ON not ROCKS Off. All the best.

17 and counting!!
rocks off rules
you bastards
thanks voo, gazza and jaxx!

At 17..In Rolling Stone years...that would put us between our Some Girls and our Emotional Rescue timeline...

Thanks Gazza and Voodoo for making Rocks Off the coolest place. Stones related or otherwise. To hang out on the Interwebs.  :willya :booze :keithpunky

Think of all that music they'd created by that point.

And then there's all that music they've created since this site actually started.

One album, and six other new songs spread over two greatest hits sets.

24 songs in 17 years!!

Is it ok to mention that the best stuff in the last 17 years, IMO, was the bonus Exile stuff?

Yes. (Although I'd go for the bonus Some Girls stuff myself, but we'll hardly fall out over it)

Happy Birthday Rocks Off! Thanks for keeping up with it for 17 years, that's longer than my first marriage!

Its not about the number of songs that count, its the number of posts! Combined total posts must be a million priceless words by now. Too bad you cant take that to the bank.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY -
GREAT JOB ON THE Zippers

Regards to Guzzler & Poo-Do.

Happy Days.

I would not have just had one of the happiest weekends of my life, if it weren't for Rocks Off and the friends/Kindred spirits I've met here.

Started lurking in 2002 and jumped on Xmas Day to announce that "My name is LadyJane, I'm from Buffalo and Santa brought me a Remix Aftermath CD". The rest is history. Good history.

Congrats Gerardo, Gary and Jaxx for building and maintaining a forum where those of us Stones fans who are just a little bit naughtier, crazier, wittier, come to play in the sand.

Long live the Asylum!!!!

An improvised 4-minute header LOL, I was thinking on a header some days ago but forgot the day the very same day of the birthday--- Alzheimer is hitting this poor Voodoo child in wonderland

From July 1998 to February 1999 or early March we were just a message board on a free server and with ads, since March 1999 we are a message board on a website and of course we pay for both, hosting (expensive) and domain (cheap)

Happy 17 years and counting. Getting our rocks off on Rocks Off, priceless.
Thank you to Gary, Gerardo, and Jaxx for the asylum.

Rick

May Rocks Off, The Stones, and all of us never stop rocking.

Happy Birthday!!! 

I've made more money dealing LSD on this sketchy ass message board than I could have made in a midnight minute circa Hill district, Pittsburgh,PA.  Cheers RO!

Happy B-day, Rocks Off!  Haven't been able to get by here in ages, glad to see it still up and running and so many fans still enjoying it.  Lots of great threads to wade thru!

Awwww. Happy day you crazy fuckers.

You should put a book together titled "Joey's Posts" and make big money!
