Since this an international forum and the album drops at different dates in different countries, when is the official forum embargo on discussion of the new album up?  the 9th?  The 13th?

Just wondering in a pre-emptive attempt to avoid the ban-hammer.

Wow. I literally JUST sent Bosk a PM about this. :|

No discussion until October 1, 2011, just to make sure everyone is covered, including people who just don't get around to buying it right away.  It's only fair to those of us who just take longer than others to get things done.

Maybe an idea to sticky this?
I'm sure not everybody will read this post.
Why 1st of October by the way, seems quite far. I can already see hundreds of threads popping up the moment the clock strikes twelve.  :lol

About that - yes, I'm a nitpicker - what timezone gets the first go at creating lots of threads?

Isn't that what spoiler tags are for? I'll have hard time waiting two weeks after the album comes out to discuss it with people here.  :lol

FINE!  NOVEMBER THEN!  WANNA KEEP PUSHING IT, MISTER?  I'LL PUSH IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2112!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bosk1

But seriously, I've seen 9/12 and 9/13 release dates.  And while 9/13 is the REAL release date, I'm fine with people discussing it.  But people REALLY need to use spoiler tags.  I will post a sticky when the time is right.

Agreed...if people don't wanna be spoiled, don't visit DTF after the album comes out

But the last few posts are pure Spameron.  So knock it off.

James, I'll say it one last time.  Knock off the spamming.  There's been FAR too much of it from you lately, and it needs to stop, one way or another.

Jamesman42

Come on what? He can joke and I can't?

Edit: Come on bosk.

I've never seen a funny usage of that meme even once, so don't feel too bad.

Oh and I thought he was serious too. Blah.

Uh, maybe I shouldn't have posted in this thread. I don't want my avatar being quoted to set off a (dramatic) chain of events leading to a banning.

I felt honored to be avatar quoted though. :P

Fuzzboy

I asked about this a week ago and they said they can confirm it will def be available on the 9th in Australia and i told them they might want to check on that.

The local JBHIFI cd guy is a DT nut so will probably break street date so he can buy it early.

Althought we pay through the nose for everything at least we are the first to be released to if its a worldwide release date.

I came into this thread expecting it to be about not shipping to countries because of a UN embargo or something.

"Gag order" would be the appropriate term, right Mr. Lawyer Mod?
