My reasoning

[Bellyman]

Hi there all of you,
my name is Bellyman, some of you know me and some of you don't.
I am here on RA-forum because I love the music.
I am here because from time to time I have the need to share some vibe and some knowlegde.
I am here because I love you people who share my vibe.
I am here because I have been here nearly from the beginning in 2004.
I took a break twice and came back twice.
I am still here because the bashing is gone.
I am still here because you are here and from time to time maybe I can help with some information.
This is my personal reasoning.
We all know that this site is dead since 2009, but the forum has some life in its own and I want it to stay like it is for some more years.
Thank you Ron and everybody else.
It's nice to be here, share your knowledge, all of you.
Keep skanking.

Welcome back, I remember you being a fountain of reggae knowledge

I discovered this forum in 2009, and I have Bellyman, Congo Bunny, and many, many others to thank for their musical knowledge. Their expertise has helped to keep me loving and learning about the music I've listened to for forty-five years....

Yes, Bellyman - what a strange and wonderful thing it is for a site that's "dead" to be so alive with the people's voice. Corny maybe, but it reminds me that the internet is a miracle at least some of the time.

Give Thanks.

Yes Bellyman, let's keep this forum going, it's the only one I ever bother contributing to, and although I've sometimes been told to butt out I wouldn't want to lose it!

Long live R.A Forum.

Yes, Bellyman. It is nice to see you post here again. You are one of those members I always check for. Good informative posts and a joy to deal with.

If the owners would be up for it I'm sure a couple of us would love to get this site live and kicking again with updates and perhaps some extended functionality. Roots-Archives is for me the best reggae site on the Internet.

welcome back Bellyman.

really and truly, seems crazy that a site as well loved and infinitely useful like this remains stagnant (outside of the forum) for so long ! Let's hope the owners can reason...
