Without bashing "The H"...  I have a few theories I think added up may explain most of it.

A. There really isn't GnR "News" anymore, therefore, alot of moderate/slightly curious fans no longer visit, and have moved on to other, non-GnR related forums and websites. Essentially giving up hope CD will be appearing anytime soon. Likely they will return if & when a release date is announced.

B. Similar to A, but that alot of posters only had GnR as their flavor of the month band. ("Yeah, I love GnR" 6 months later, "ACDC is great!!"  6 months later "Metallica the best band ever!!"). They have their leaks, but now have a new 'favorite' band.  This would mostly attribute to a younger crowd, likely of school age (teens - 22/25).

C. People got fed up with alot of things & rules related to HTGTH. It gets frustrating there and reading "What shirt is Axl wearing in this picture" is a waste of anybody's time. These people have moved on to other sites and are now free to post whatever they want on other GnR forums.

Pittsburgh losing hurt me. I had 14 on that one. Only 3 on tonights game so I can't make up much ground.

The most ironic thing that could happen would be if Miami were the team to stop the perfect run.  Granted this is one hell of a long shot but it's perfect.  It couldn't be written any better in a fictitious story.  You have the only team that has had a perfect season going against the team that is making a run at a perfect season.  To make the story even juicier it is highly likely that Miami will still be winless and that NE will still be lossless.  Add to that the fact Miami has seemed to have New England's number over the past few seasons regardless of how crappy they were doing as a ball club at the time.  Wouldn't it be perfect?  Maybe Chinese Democracy will be released the following Tuesday as well...back to reality.

Interesting theory... any given Sunday, right. Anyway, yeah they might even have Ricky Williams back by then too. Who knows. The Steelers are the best shot, then NYG the final week. I wouldn't rule out Baltimore either, they HAVE to start winning games & if Ray Lewis can return to his old form for 1 more game, it's possible.

Metallex I've had stuff like this happen to me many times in life. It sucks, but it's part of the bruises involved in growing up.

The other two posters above are right. Don't delay, and take this as a lesson learned & try to figure out if there's things you can do differently the next time. It's always awkard encountering a girl you asked out again. I remember asking out a friends neighbor when I was about 22. She shot me down, and I couldn't bear to go over his house or parties for if she were there. There were others, girls who worked places I went etc, I'm not saying I asked out every girl in town, but a few here & there. Try to accept it & move on. Over time the whole awkwardness/cold shoulder thing will die down, who knows, you might become good friends again. Give it time too. Girls take time to deal with things, unlike guys who can just say "Fuck it" 5

Yeah, kinda sad it happened at a Fantasy Camp though... I'd rather it took place during a VR show. Or Camp Freddy.

^^ That's pretty rude for them to do it to one girl & not the other. I'm sure when I was younger I "hooked up" a few girls with stupid stuff while I was at work, but I don't think I'd do it to one, then not her friend.

I think Jessica was pretty much right with a few things. Also, some waif like chicks are really crazy. I don't know if they have issues, or are insecure, but maybe that carries over into them while they are a Mom. Who knows though, but I think the results of the study is due to nurture, not nature.

The songs aren't going to get much radio play, none around here. Maybe on Sirius & XM metal stations it'll find rotation.

How could you say there isn't much publicity, Baz has been talking to most every magazine, radio station, web  news sites,  bascially anyone he does an interview with, it's all over the place that Axl is on this album and now it will be in all the reviews.  I'd say Axl is getting a ton of publicity from this.

Radio play will happen more I'd say when the album actually comes out but even with if that lacks, he is mentioned everywhere this album has been mentioned.   So much so people are getting tired of Baz mentioning Axl every time.

Most music fans nowadays probably would just skip over an article or website link with Sebastian Bach. I don't know how many interviews he's done with RS or Blender etc, but sure people who read Blabbermouth etc might see it. But realistically, the album isn't going to get alot of attention. We'll see if it's even in the Target & Best Buy Sunday circulars.

I work in an office of just over 30 people, most are between 25-40, very few over 50. Add in 10-20 of my freinds, that's 50 people of this age group. If I asked every one of them if they heard about the Axl Rose news, I guarantee you none of them have heard about it. As a comparison, when the RHCP & PJ came out with albums a few years ago, probably well over 50% heard about them, including those over 40 (I remember talking with some about it), and a few bought them. Some people even were looking forward to Army of Anyone.

Again as I said, people who read Metal messege boards, GnR boards etc have heard about it, but that's a very limited audience. Even of those, only a percentage of that are interested or will buy it.
