Damn the Pahrump Valley Times!  They released the news and published the obituary before I was ready for them to.  Do they have a facebook page for me to post my disgust? 

I retract my prior post.  You beat me to it.

Jorch is the smiling assassin. He'll tell MV to go Fuck himself nicely.

MV would you delete the GNS thread if they released the archive?

no delete, but open to thread title change.

Can we haz thread merge nao?

thanks!  got me out of chefist's hot water.

Chefist said a couple posts were removed from this thread.  I didn't remove them, just so you know.  I suspect it might have something to do with the downtime the forum apparently experienced today, but I can't be sure.  I'm the only person who has the ability to delete posts, so I know they weren't removed in that way. 

Just wanted to put that out there.

Now up to 60Mbps.  What a surprise.

Did the entire pre-show get recorded? I grabbed the last 40 minutes or so.

chefist says he thinks it did, but he has yet to "present."

I wish everyone would send similar messages to Noory and others at the network.  Via Twitter/FB/BG... doesn't matter.  Put the pressure on.  They should open up that archive. 

I'm tired of douche bag cunts who brag about the shows they "own" while gleefully informing everyone they won't be sharing (as if they'd "lose" something in doing so).

As for Heather , I have no interest in her crying on air over Art as she did for that fucking loser Chris Cornell .

she cried over chris cornell?

Now hitting 44Mbps.  Glad people are seeding.

Stupid question, MV... Is it just the "copy magnet URI?"  If so- this is what I get.  If not, you might have to tell me how to send you a link...  I have yet to try to share anything like this on request (demand?) 

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5EC9255FB9FE4587FFC908BDCAB893388B33979B&dn=The%20Ultimate%20Art%20Bell%20Collection&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.ccc.de%3a80%2fannounce&tr=%2audp%3a%2f%2fopen.demonii.com%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.publicbt.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.istole.it%3a80%2fannounce

that's got it.  thanks bud.  62GB downloading currently at 24Mbps.  much appreciated. 

i deleted my art bell collection some time back out of frustration and a desire not to be reminded of how things were.  that was probably a mistake, since i had one of the most comprehensive collections.  i built it while running the old art bell shoutcast stream.

i'm glad this collection is out there.  it probably eclipses what i had, anyway.

Quote from: WOTR on April 15, 2018, 02:26:52 AM
Mine is 62.  I have left it on Utorrent to share in case somebody wanted to download it. I just opened it up and for the first time in months, people appear to be downloading (it says that I'm connected to 16 out of the 42 people trying right now.)

send me a link or torrent file plz.

Quote from: HumanBeing on April 14, 2018, 06:39:16 PM
Torrent file attached to message.

35.9GB?  I thought it was supposed to be something like 60GB or so. 

Quote from: SnapT on April 15, 2018, 12:59:30 AM
Heather is giving Noory shit on Facebook for announcing Art's death on C2C before the family did.  Yowsa.

good grief, this woman.

He was just holding on until BellGab dropped its GoogleAds in favor of a donation system, taking $$$ out of MV's pockets.

Well played, Art Bell, sir.

heh heh

Quote from: Juan on April 14, 2018, 06:22:32 PM
Hope all is well with you. You still have the best post on Bellgab.

she does.

Quote from: GravitySucks on April 14, 2018, 11:39:13 AM
So, are you the answer to the trivia question:

“Who was the last person to conduct a live interview with Art Bell?”

No, I think Curtis and Jazmunda did after me.

Quote from: PB the Deplorable on April 14, 2018, 11:35:27 AM
Keith isn't exactly a people person, but perhaps he should get a little slack at what has to be a very distressing and emotional time

nah.

Quote from: GravitySucks on April 14, 2018, 11:31:58 AM
As your business advisor, I highly recommend you turn adsense back on for the next 7 days.

If KR were running things, that would happen.

Quote from: Inglorious Bitch on April 14, 2018, 11:25:49 AM
LOL

heh heh

We'll see if I can't scrape together a GabCast this evening. Watch the GabCast thread for updates.

Quote from: BettyO417 on April 14, 2018, 09:27:14 AM
The post from Keith absolutely sickens me. What was the plan/undermining? Was the announcement to be so spectacular that HW & KR would use it to boost & promote MITD? In order for his fans, friends, foes to find out any information on Art’s passing would we have to go through MITD? Of course we would.

A big Thank You to Nye County Sheriffs department for saving us from the torturous task of listening to HW bring us this sad news.

+1000

Quote from: NowhereInTime on April 14, 2018, 08:19:50 AM
Not the time to be figuring a proprietary way to announce his passing.

Exactly.

Quote from: Robert on April 08, 2018, 08:21:25 PM
I started a multimedia lecture series as Sussex Co. Community Col. to explain Lost, the TV serial.  I was a friend of the guy who made the show since he was a teenager, and I knew where it came from and how it really made sense if you could read the clues.  It was cleverly written to hide from the audience that it was not fantasy or SF (except for 1 small element) but actually a cloak-&-dagger story they could solve as a mystery, not even revealing that overtly at the end, but you needed a lot of background in detective fiction & drama to "get" it.

I was surprised to find out at the beginning of the term that half a section of biology I teach was interested in attending such a lecture series.  Apparently the show's had a new life on Netflix.  But when it finally arranged, none of them came.  Maybe after several weeks of hearing me in class, they weren't interested in hearing more from me even on an unrelated subject.  Only one other person showed up, maybe its being Good Friday evening held down attendance.  Unfortunately technical difficulty caused me to cancel that evening.

The following Fri. there was no tech problem, but the 1 who showed up the previous week didn't come, & the other person who heard of it thru the same channel (Nextdoor.com) & said she wanted to come the previous Fri. didn't show up either.  Possibly for the 1 who did show up, the syllabus I passed out was more convenient for him to research on his own.  Or maybe I'm just boring in person.

Maybe my friend Damon Lindelof was right not to have a denouement of Lost.  Maybe practically nobody cared about a solution, except for a few hardcore mystery fans.  So they just pretended it'd been a nonsensic fantasy story, w people acting strangely for no good reason.

I began watching Lost during the airing of its final season, catching the final 5 or six episodes as they were broadcast.  At the time, I couldn't have been more disappointed with how the series wrapped up.  I recall the final season being a train wreck, but the finale felt particularly amateur hour and relegated the show to a regrettable investment of TV viewing time when, instead, Lost could have been a classic.  Rather than make sense of things as it should have, the finale seemed to celebrate the show's inability to tell a story.  The finale could have at least made an attempt at tying together the shards of broken storytelling the writers had strung viewers along with for several years.

In subsequent years, I've seen a few websites attempt to make sense of it all by piecing together clues, hoping to salvage the show's legacy and convince readers of the genius behind Lost's creators.  I'm not convinced.  It seems to me that if a PowerPoint presentation is required in order to make sense of a TV show, the TV show has failed to tell a story.

Having said all of that, I would be interested in seeing your presentation.  Is there video of it?  I've been considering watching the series again to see if eight years of separation can lend a new perspective.

Quote from: Mad_Martian on April 03, 2018, 10:30:18 AM
Both of you are wrong. When I was on, I offered Art Bell $1500 to do a show with me. NOT MV!!
Someone called in asking me to be interviewed by that person for $200 to me.
I not knew who that was. So let's keep this honest.

fast forward to three minutes in.

Weren't you offered something like $200 by Michael Vandeven to be interviewed on a gabcast and you said you would but you never followed through?

Also, that video you posted is blocked in my country.

it was the inverse x2.5.  he offered me $500 to have him on the gabcast.  i agreed.  never heard from him again.

This post is just dripping with insincerity. Needless to say, this "plan" isn't actually going to happen.

You do know there is a remote operated door lock on Art's 'studio/guest house?'

Quote from: 21st Century Man on March 31, 2018, 05:01:43 AM
Such a shame that she is resorting to this.

As opposed to making a living talking about moth men and goblins...
