Like the immigrants that found their way to New York Harbor, many Chris Cornell fans find themselves in need of a new home. What we are escaping from is not as serious as a potato famine ... but we have experienced a serious “fun famine”. I know this is going to sound like a bad movie plot... but our old home, chriscornell.com, has been taken over by zombie schoolmarms. Our knuckles have rapped many times, but not enough that we can’t raise our middle finger and giggle.
The place where we could laugh, poke fun, or (God forbid) offer critique with fellow Chris Cornell fans is gone. Mother Hen’s been put in charge and just won’t have any funny business whatsoever anymore. We have been told we are guests in someone else’s home and we best behave. “Type like you would to your grandmother” was one “useful” tip. What the F%#*? If you don’t tow the line, you can expect your words will be: 1. scolded 2. “helpfully” altered 3. simply swept away. Unless you have really riled some feathers... then you’re kicked out and they bolt the door shut behind you. The message is loud and clear: “Go play somewhere else!”
And so we are (who says we couldn’t take a hint). It turns out that some Chris Cornell fans are a boisterous bunch. We have opinions, sense of humors and like to shoot the shit. Image that? Fans of a Rock musician feeling rebellious! We have managed some passing grins on other sites and even snuck some past the finger-wagging guard at chriscornell.com, but it is time to break “out of exile” and create a community of our own.
We are creating a space for free thoughts on Saving Chris Cornell. We welcome other fans that have been shushed or chased away. You can email us to submit blogs if you remember how to laugh and can identify satire. And please comment away on what we’ve got to say. You can save your p’s & q’s for grandma and let it rip with us. Give us your censored, your disgusted, your banned fans yearning to hear good music.
The blog guidelines: This site should be a welcoming and positive place to discover and share information about Saving Chris Cornell. Comments which ignore the following will be removed. Such users will not be permitted to open new accounts under further aliases (such as GottinHemel). Your cooperation is required.

- Trolling won't be tolerated. Keep criticism constructive. It's fine to discuss what we want, but this is a Saving Chris Cornell fan blog - streetteam elsewhere.
- No killjoys or people who take themselves too seriously. Agree to have a sense of humor, or take your argument to chriscornell.com.
- Chris Cornell's private life and those of his family and colleagues are up for discussion or speculation if you think it can help our cause.
- No posts of a threatening, violent, racist or obscene nature. Hating Timbaland is OK.
- Respect ALL artists' copyright. No illegal download links. Live boots (no buying or selling) and YouTube links are OK.
- Only one screen name/account is allowed per individual; posting under anonymous/proxy IP addresses is not permitted unless of course, you're us! We can have as many as we like! ST members, we'll know who you are!
- You can be assured that the Save Chris Cornell Team will at no time watch what you are doing at other sites, post your real name on a public forum, make public comments about your sex life (or lack of) or subject you to our wrath in other way. We honestly don't give a shit what you do when you're not here.
- There will be no "streetteaming" allowed under any circumstances at this site. Should you choose to subject those of us at this site to it, we will give out your e-mail address to everyone we know and have them endlessly "Rick Roll" you.
The Save Chris Cornell Team
P.S. Dear Grandma, Scream Sucks
LOL These are great guidlines, The ones at the CC.com sounded a bit paranoid to me, expecially the one about using proxy servers. Are they checking everyones proxy?
ReplyDeleteYet, they haven't seemed to learn how to use the "agree to diagree" one are still jumping down anyones throat (and going for the jugular) with an honest opinion about how they like they new Timbaland collaboration. They actually have the nerve to say that the reaction has become more positive (delusional), it hasn't it's just people aren't posting there, because they have either been banned or decided to leave that hell hole and left it to the Street team.
I saw that comment. LOL!! If you ban or delete any negative comments - the reaction will become more positive.
ReplyDeleteThose guidelines are a complete parody of the actual ones.
oh, finally..:)
