i am not de-valuing the recent tour or pics or excitment at all with blind melon reunion 2 but the core purpose and pulse of this forum was all things melon right, then whomever controls the inards of the site please update the days until vigil 2011, it still says 0 days to vigil 2010 remember why this was all created -shannon hoon. peace love and melon. the lack of vigil stories and the countdown are disheartening i miss the old patch where it was daily and i understand facebook and all that but this was to be special, ok im done thanks.

Please understand that the mods on this site work very hard. They are not paid for this and take time out of each of their busy schedules to update as much as they can. As you say, this is all things Melon, so an update of the new dates is what alot of the members here were clamoring for. The mods did their best to accomodate. Ryan did a fantastic job getting an entire concert up for everyone to see/hear. He also put together over 100 audio clips of Shannon. This took dozens of hours to put together. Most people had never heard even a third of those sound bites. Is that not a good tribute? Yes, there are less vigil stories this year, but less of us were able to attend, sadly. However, Rachel, put up everything she had from the vigil so those of us who couldn't be there at least got to see a bit. She isn't even a mod! Facebook was not intended to replace this patch, but be an extension to reach out to others who would not know about us otherwise. I personally do not have Facebook, but I understand the need for BM to have a page to reach more people. Isn't that what we want? More people loving the Melon? If you have some vigil pics or stories, please share them! We would all love to hear/see them. And the countdown will be fixed when there is time to fix it. Maybe a quick, friendly PM to a mod saying "Hey I noticed the countdown hasn't restarted, could you look into that?" would be more appropriate then blanket criticism of the forum "losing sight". I don't feel any of the people on here have lost sight of what it means to be a Melonhead.

I apologize for this not being updated in a timely fashion. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I take full responsibility, as I have been going to school full time, for the first time ever, and it has been slightly overwhelming. I know this sounds like an excuse, but this is the reason the ticker was overlooked. I have updated it now.

I think all vigilgoers have their internal countdown going in their heads already.
