Dear DPFF posters,

after seeing the forum became dominated by some people wishing above all to be rude to each other and create personal as well as general feuds, I have decided to ban these posters. It was clear that there was no hope of things getting better by themselves.

This was a difficult solution as we do not like to ban anyone. However, there seemed to be no other way in trying to return the forum closer to its original purpose, which is about sometimes heated, but above all good spirited discussions on Deep Purple and related artists (and, well, films, football etc.).

The transition will no doubt turn out difficult and will take time. It is also possible that the banned users will try, and probably will, turn up in some guises. If not for other purpose than revenge.

To minimize this, we will attempt to keep a closer eye on the forum from now on. I hope you all understand that this is a hobby for us.

From all of you - us - I ask for patience and a more friendly approach to others, no matter how passionate the topic at hand.

Let's all try to make the forum a nice place to hang out and exchange ideas at.
