I just found out the news, and it isn't confidential!!!  One of Dave's producers called Art yesterday and they want to produce Midnight in the Desert.  That person shall remain unnamed for now...

[MV/Liberace!]

Yeah, I actually already did that.

disable and re-enable your network adapter.  or reboot.

[nika01]

that's redacted.

it should be redacted

[MV/Liberace!]

MV, glad the move over worked, it is faster.  Is there any way to hear last night's gabcast?

it'll be posted today.

I also love the Fret Files, I fantasize about becoming a Luthier myself.

MV,

I usually visit the site on my smartphone. When I'm on wifi, I can access the site fine. When I have to switch to 3G/4G, I get the administrator login page. Any suggestions? The use.opendns.com website has no info on smartphones.

Cool.  Sometimes I can't stay up late due to having to go to work very early, they keep changing my hours, sometimes I don't get home until midnight, sometimes I have to wake up at 4:30 AM...

we all have bad habits when talking into a mic.  in radio i used to occasionally have to sit in a room with a consultant who would awkwardly stare at me as we listened to audio of me speaking on the radio.  it was insufferable.

what you need to understand is that each "secret message" or "clue" or whatever has been a joke, almost every single time. 

but, all of that aside, i just want to summarize with this:  every "secret" message referred to by art or anyone else has just been a gag (as far as i can recall).  nobody has been left out of anything.  neither i nor anyone else knows anything that the rest of you don't know.

Aww hell .. I thought Art's message today was an excellent example of his wry humor. Also thought those who didn't/don't get it are paranoid crybabies for not recognizing the ruse(s).

I hope she makes up for it with her hip to waist ratio.

do you mean you get maintenance mode on 4g?

what you need to understand is that each "secret message" or "clue" or whatever has been a joke, almost every single time.  during one of these instances, i instructed users to send me a private message so they could be informed of the "secret plan" laid out in code by art.  well, anyone who bothered to send me a private message quickly noticed my account is not capable of receiving private messages, so the joke was assumed to be established in that way.  there were other angles to the whole gag, but you get the point.

the only actual information art has released has been rather direct and to the point.  if anything, i'd say he's been 1000% more forthcoming about the behind the scenes stuff than any other broadcaster in his position would be.  would limbaugh spend time in a forum with his fans keeping them apprised of the day to day ups and downs in his contract negotiations?  no way.  neither would hannity, savage, beck or anyone else.  i'd say as art bell fans, we're pretty damn lucky to have that level of interaction.

but, all of that aside, i just want to summarize with this:  every "secret" message referred to by art or anyone else has just been a gag (as far as i can recall).  nobody has been left out of anything.  neither i nor anyone else knows anything that the rest of you don't know.

Ha! It's a ruse. Sure thing. You don't get to be a researcher in this field by believing stuff like this.

are you trying to drive people into suicide?

Cool! Thanks for listening.

[MV/Liberace!]

hell, i would cheer.  i don't care.  as long as he's back.

This shouldn't get lost in the secret-message coverup. Who could that producer be?? I know a couple, maybe 3?

Thanks, MV. If that is the case, then my apologies for not getting the joke and my subsequent rant. I, too, am waiting with bated breath for a final GO on the new show, so I may overreact a bit if I feel like I am missing some information that might mean some concrete, good news for the future of late-night talk radio.    

And to add with everyone else - great job on the new server.   

[Art_s Farts]

do you mean you get maintenance mode on 4g?

Yes sir. The maintenance mode page loads when on 4G. If I switch to wifi, and I get right in and it's fast.

Hint: He is the size of three people.

[maureen]

Yeah...that is a big pile of (B)oiling (S)ewage...

While I have loved staying on this roller coaster ride of will he/won't he get back on the air, I am getting VERY TIRED of this game of secrets being played.  As a long time listener of Art's, I come on to these boards to get information directly from the source on how the new venture is going. Then, when I am able to log on to look, I am being told that there is something super-big happening, but it's also super-secret, so, unless you just happen to be on the board for the 2 or 3 milliseconds while the super-big news is 'breaking', you are pretty much screwed in finding out that news (unless, of course, you want to PM someone...).

I understand that there may be information that does not need to be leaked to the 'other camp', but this sort of 'I know something that you don't know' childishness is extremely annoying to those of us (well, me, at least    ) who are genuinely interested in hearing any new developments.

While my interest in Art's potential return is as high as ever, my interest in following this inner-circle nonsense is rapidly waning.

Beyond that, I have thoroughly enjoyed this board, (mostly) everyone on it, as well as the GabCasts.

I hope I did not sound too bitchy; just venting frustrations at feeling like I am being left out *queue childish whine*   

I quite agree. Cliques are divisive and annoying. The kids are playing silly buggers to feel significant. It will be wonderful to listen to Art once again.

[MV/Liberace!]

what phone do you have and on what carrier?

[MV/Liberace!]

but maureen i always thought you a part of the mv clique.

Pardon the interruption, (dense here), would that imply a relationship w/C2C, or would said producer jump ship to get with MITD?
Does it matter? Am I entitled to that information, should I PM someone?
I'm going mad with anticipation of hearing Live AB & ABBA in July. (cue dancing queen).

[Art_s Farts]

what phone do you have and on what carrier?

Never mind. I just refreshed and it now works on 3G/4G. I have an LG G3 on Sprint.

After their last email exchange, yes. For the deal to go through, Art had to agree to grow the mustache back.

My 4g works okay for bellgab.com, no prob with 4g here

Secret PM's.  Short lived messages.  It's all a joke.  It was a poke at driving the davebots (FTDB) a little crazy as you know they post and lurk here.  DON'T YOU!
And if you can't play the game, then son, you need a check up fm the neck up.  Dave and his screw were probably shitting themselves trying to get 'in' on the inside.
