The end of IORR dot org (at least in its current form)
Jan 3^rd, 2024 at 12:00am

Apparently the owner of iorr dot org has very much taken to heart the
fact that he was left on the outside looking in after traveling so far to
attend the recent Stones Gaga club gig in NYC...

"Within the next few months, I need to outsource most of my workload...
I need to find Stones fans I trust, who would be interested in working with
the next generation IORR, first of all the New Forum... There are plenty of
Forum solutions available as cloud services. They cost a lot, but I am sure
there are ways to fund them, either by donations or by advertisements..."

WOWZERS!
That is some post...I am rather impressed that BV feels responsible enough to make this announcement like that.
I sure hope it doesn't go the way of Shidoobee, with the last 2 server / service changes....
I love those guys, StonesDoug is a personal friend, but
that sight is un-navigable and not intuitive at all.
Let alone I can never sign in properly, lol

I talk alot of smack about those "maniacs on IORR".
But it makes me sad that that portal, in its present state, may go away in the near future.

Congrats to BV for the years of running IORR strictly out of his passion
and love for the Rolling Stones, and on his own dime (or whatever they use in Norway)
I wish I was as passionate about anything as much as he is about the RS/IORR.
GL IORRers!

BV made his statement on Jan 1

On Jan 3 the Stones tweeted...

"2024! No time to stop"

...accompanied by an excellent live version of "Don't Stop"

It doesn't take much imagination to think that Stones-dot-biz was giving
the Norwegian a nod. But certainly nothing like what a few of the IORRaqis
are calling for...

"Some of the band members, or at least some of their entourage, must
be reading here... Can't they organize something special for you, like
dinner with the band... After all you have done for them, and for their
fans, I think they owe you something..."

During the band's first 60 years, I would have placed the odds of them
doing something special for BV at zero point zero percent.

But in this new Hackneyed era, I don't think its at all out of the
question...

So, why the hell not predict something? I predict that the Stones will
surprise nearly everybody and break character and actually do something
special for the guy. And that it will be enough for him to reverse himself
and keep the site going essentially as is, while attending every show on
the 2024 tour, in the pit with his camera as usual

We were already online before IORR and Shidoobee existed. We saw their birth and growth, both forums are great. Some of our members left to go there and will not return, some are on more than one forum, even all three.

We have been very tolerant since we started, because we think that there are all types of fans and they all fit, we know that some left precisely because of our tolerance.

Please listen this (Steve Marriott of Humble Pie singing):

Are you a rolling stone?

I am sure that being a rolling stone and being a rolling stones' fan is different, and here you can be both!!!!

I think the New Era is definitely not fan friendly -
Events and gigs full of flown - in influencers with hardly a fan in sight are a sign that they even at this late stage they don't give a flying f**k. I'm pretty sure that their manager is a control freak of the worst kind , but what do I know ?

That's severe! I wonder if he went there with a promise or a hope. I think of IORR as a European site, and Shidoobee as an American site. Rocks Off is international.
