Maybe I'm way behind the ball on this one but I just noticed that the message board on bonnaroo.com has been removed and now in the bottom corner of the community page it says "find a ride and chat with fans at inforoo.com"

That makes me so happy. It's awesome that they're willing to direct people here because I think this place is SO helpful to Bonna-newbies. Moreso than the official message boards were, and that's not really because they did anything wrong with their boards, it's just that...well, we've been here longer! We've built up such a community here that we have a lot more people and a lot more information. So I think them funneling people over here is great, and honestly I have no issue with lots of "dumb" questions or anything. I really, really love helping out people who are getting ready for their first 'Roo, and if there are redundant posts we basically just point them to an existing post and then the redundant one gets locked, so it's not a problem.
I also really love the fact that Bonnaroo was willing to do this. Very levelheaded and realistic of them. They could have just basically refused to officially acknowledge us since we're unofficial, could have just kept trying to promote their own board and all, but instead they knew when to give in. Plus I think Inforoo must be GREAT for them - we spread information and help the newbies prepare, we're great (okay maybe a bit TOO good) at building buzz and hype and excitement, and we provide a lot of feedback for them. We know they keep an eye on us for stuff like what acts we want to see and what's rumored, but I would imagine they're also interested in what we're saying about improvements to the festival and the grounds and stuff like that.
Ugh, I am so chatty and rambly tonight, don't know what's gotten into me! Anyway, in conclusion, YAY INFOROO. Hahaha. ;D

I guess our mods better be on their toes! I'm actually really surprised by this. I wonder if they just got tired of attempting to monitor the official boards. I had noticed an increase in first time posters the past few nights, guess this would explain it.

This is good news I think maybe? I just know whenever I went to the official bonnaroo boards it was just so mean.. Totally not in keeping with the spirit of Roo.

I agree. I got scolded for trying to give my help/opinion even though I haven't been yet. So what! I'm trying to help! Be appreciative!

I noticed that too - I posted up some stuff on there and it just went. It said they were doing maintenance but that came and went. There was a lot of negativity ppl talking about getting mugged/never going again trying to get others to not go. That said anywhere that packs that many people there's bound to be a couple of bad bad BAD apples
;D
