1. Let's use this board as a positive force to celebrate all that is great about Southend Punk and Punk rock generally in all it's myriad forms that we love. The main focus of the site and the board is on the 1976 - 1986 era, but if there's anything pre or post that era that you want to discuss, just use the appropriate sub-boards - i.e. 'Pre-Punk Discussion Area' and '1986 and Beyond'.
2. Use a valid email when registering - if you don't you'll be deleted.
3. Don't post just for the sake of it or to be annoying - have a point and contribute something worthwhile - there's a considerable bank of knowledge out there to draw on!
4. As per requests, I've added in new 'Sub-Boards' that should cover most permutations, so:
i Southend Punk News / Announcements
Check here for any important announcements about the site and the messageboard etc
ii Site Updates
Notification of new site updates are placed here
iii Post-Punk Discussion Area
This is the area of the site to discuss anything Alternative / Post-Punk in the Southend area 1976 - 1986, eg Mod / Psychedelia, Reggae, New Romantic / Electro etc
iv Pre-Punk Discussion Area
This is the area of the site to discuss anything pre-punk in the Southend area
v 1986 and Beyond
Post anything punk related here that is Post-1986 - eg gig news
vi Talkin' 'Bout
It could be CD/DVD/Radio/TV/Book chat, interesting insights, etc
vii Off Topic
Discuss anything not specifically Southend Punk related here, but of general punk relevance - eg favourite YouTube Clips etc
viii Obituaries
This is where to post tributes to those whom have left us too soon
5. Finally, feel free to post anything pertinent that you like - Introduce yourself and tell us what you enjoyed at The Queens in '77, Shrimpers in '79, Focus in '80, The Grand in '82, Crocs in '83 etc. The more users that contribute regularly, the better the community will be. If you have any media that you'd like included, then just drop a line to the official email address at: southendpunk (at) googlemail.com
It's your board - let's all enjoy it!
