Does anyone else ever wonder if P!nk or any of her management are here reading through our threads? I feel like she wouldn’t Google herself to find this page but I feel like her management maybe would …

It would be smart of her team to. I’m sure she doesn’t, she has her family, wine, etc. I’m sure she hits Twitter and Instagram mostly.

I think that maybe nowadays she doesn't, but I'm sure she had a closer relationship with this forum back in the day. I believe it was run by people who knew her o were in contact with her team somehow. I like to believe that, back in 2000-something she quit smoking for a while because of my very iconic and controversial thread named "P!nk is too weak to quit smoking"  hahahahahaha just kidding. God that was ages ago Her team would be smart to read through the different forums that talk about her  |

She used to. Or at least her management did.
She has mentioned the old boards a couple of times and when we found out the whole system was hinging on a single cord with smoke coming from the hard drives – or something bizarre like this – she even Tweeted that she knows about it and will try to save it.

Quiting smoking was the best career move she ever made.
She is one of the few artists whose singing voice has improved with age.
Honestly, it was so rough for a second there and while that can be cool, it wasn't sustainable or word-class.

I remember that. Also I think the OG threadvs moderators, runners knew her, or her team, they were in touch. Nowadays I think she mostly reads twitter. I dont think her team reads as well. But wasn't there a special presale for us at the previous tour? |

Indeed! That has allowed her to continue having a singing voice that can live through touring and aging in general. She's so strong, I love her so much  hahaha |

Im new to this forum, could you explain the context? Tl;dr version: The original official forum pink.shread.net/forum was established in the early 00s and has been active until mid to late 10s (I think?). One day, the system admin posted that it’s going to be shutting down on a particular date since it’s running on a very old server. Nobody really understood why, what was happening, or why it was unsalvageable in the day of cloud syncs, backups etc etc. I think we never got the answers we were looking for. That’s why this forum emerged. A direct replacement – albeit an unofficial one, you can’t find a link to it on Pinkspage.com – when people started panicking that they are going to lose a huge chunk of not only their fandom but also gigantic part of their lives. As you can imagine, people have developed friendships, relationships and the board served as quite the safe haven for all sorts of queer kids from all walks of life. I know I’m not the only one who felt absolutely gutted when it finally shut down. To this day, I don’t understand how her management could just let it go. The costs had to have been absolutely tiny for her. I am eternally grateful for this „substitute“ even though I don’t spend nearly as much time here as I did back in the day. |

It felt like home for so many years! R.I.P. |

Oh and her letters. 💗 OMG her hand written letters alone!! I remember when she sent us that video at rehearsals for IND! We were sooooooo excited after the TT drought! First time I heard the expression "love you, mean it" hahaha PP led to me having a 30gb P!nk folder on my computer! I need to get my hands on that so I can share all my goodies. Youtube could never compare, I had EVERYTHING |
