I'm an OtR newbie, but here's my 2¢ anyways:

It seems apparent Linford & Karin have wanted to do an online forum (which 
has many advantages as a communication medium for their fans) for quite some 
time.  I signed onto this list recently because I'm really into their music 
and I'm very interested in what the long-time faithful have to say, and God 
bless all of you for loving them and each other enough to cope with this 
email craziness.  I would assume what's been holding them back is simply not 
having the time to properly set up a forum and find an administrator, which 
is really a necessity for a format like that.  Clearly they have a difficult 
time finding time just to keep their current site up to date while they're 
on the road (which, incidentally, is just fine with me since my name happens 
to be on their current somewhat out-of-date home page).

Drew obviously knows his way around web technology and is willing and able 
to dedicate the time and resources to sponsor the forum on his site, and I 
salute him for his extraordinary efforts!  I can, however, see why K&L might 
want a fan forum that they could have more direct control over to officially 
represent Over the Rhine.  But until they can find their way clear to figure 
something out, DrewVogel.COM Forums -> DrewVogel.COM -> Over The Rhine is 
really a terrific place to be -- at least until Drew sprouts wings or 
whatever.  I can't imagine K&L having any objections to it as an unofficial 
fan site.
