Wow, Thanks for stopping by Rogers!!! It would be really cool to have a website like the one that you mentioned. I hope everything falls into place for this to happen. How exciting!
I really dig the songs that I heard on your website. TTT sounds great! Look forward to seeing you in concert. . .

Oh wow, thanks for stopping by Rogers, I really hope you get that domain, I would love to see a website for blind melon like you described. I think all of us would be cool with having this board as part of the site, in fact more than cool, I almost did a cartwheel when I read that!!! The owner of the domain doesn't even keep up with the site anymore, I am pretty sure he will let it expire, I dont see any reason why he would want to re-register the domain unless he just wants it to have it. I am so glad you stopped by and posted about this, I checked out the myspace and added you, the music kicks ass!

We really do, we really really do! It would be nice to have news updates from the members of the band with their new projects as well. What can we do to make this possible? Should we bombard the existing owner with requests? Will it make him angry or will he cave? I wish there was some sort of petition we could pass around.....I know there are online petitions, maybe we could get a ton of people to sign and send it to him.....thoughts?

i got it started on myspace too, to spread the word quicker my bulliten reads as followed: In light that www.blindmelon.com is no longer being updated rogers got in cotact with us about it and said that following: "Hi all Rogers here...yes, the band does want this domain name (blindmelon.com). After the band ended, it was still kinda early on in the whole website thing, and we were all so upset that we didn't lock it down. I've been back and forth with the guy who owns it, and he has refused to sell it to the band, so we don't have a lot of recourse unless we wanted to take it to the courts, which is just too nuts to deal with. So I kinda gave up on it for now.... but we wanted to put a nice site together to preserve the name and memory of the band, as well as put out a lot of stuff that has not been seen or heard before. As you can imagine, the band has lots of photos and bits of music that were not together enough to release, so this would be the perfect place to put it out so ya'll could download etc. We could also make this board a part of the site (if that were amenable to the owners here). If someone manages to reason with this guy, then let us know. As always, we are very grateful to all of you here for keeping our music alive. take care rogers ps...join my new band's myspace page at www.myspace.com/tendertrio" So we deicided at the blindmelonforum to start a petition to get the owner of www.blindmelon.com to turn over the domain to the rightfull owners in rogers and the rest of the band. We strongly recommed you to repost this post so we can get as many signatures we possible can to get the onwer to cave. Thanks to everyone helping keep Blind Melon alive!!!! Click the following link to sign the petition: www.petitionspot.com/petitions/blindmelondotcomCody aka Lemonade

I don't think we should bombard the owner with requests. He might have forgotten about it or something, since he hasn't updated. Bombbarding him will remind him.

Well, we can get the petition around and a ton of signatures, If he renews in march I will email him the results of the petition. Maybe then he will give it up. The first thing is to make sure someone is next on that list so the domain doesn't end up in the wrong hands again.
BTW JR, do you have myspace? Oh, and Lemonade, I added you!

New BM music and pictures? Hell yes!!! Yeah I agree with JR, Mark is obviously being a dick about it... That's the reason he didn't sell it to Rogers in the first place... If he doesn't forget about it I bet he will renew it. But if worse comes to worse what about blind-melon.com, does anybody know who it belongs to?

I signed it, although I kinda disagree slightly. It was pretty useful, I learned how to play "Cavities" and "st andrews fall" from it. But I whole heartedly think an official Melon site like the one Rogers wants would be the best site on the net.
Being the angsty and alternative 14 year old I am, I have no myspace nor do I want to get one. I have music as my time waster.
