Can I please get my name changed to just "Interviewer"? I'd really like to comment to reviews as soon as possible.

Alright, my final RMOTM change will be to go back to the yawn. Thanks

[TimJim]

My original tastes in music were quite pitiful. i loved rap and hiphop. when i turned 12, my friends started getting me into pop punk like relient k. I soon attended a concert of theirs and saw MxPx as well, pushing me into more punk. There, i also received a sampler CD that had the suicide machines in it. at first, i skipped their tracks because they screamed, but soon i loved them and listened to it all the time. This pushed me into the hardcore scene. From the Hardcore scene, i jumped into Metal with Haste the day and soon became submerged in that genre. i loved the pounding drums and the amazing guitars riffs that i had never heard any sort of style like that before.


with that, i would like this avatar for my own

[big80smullet]

Big80smullet has been an active member of the sputnik music/mxtabs community for 4.5 years and his presence has been like a faux fireplace gas heater that gives out joy instead of heat. He has been very well behaved and made lots of good posts about interesting stuff and not many posts about uninteresting stuff. He made some good threads as well. He has tried 97 different beers and has the caps to prove it. He plays guitar really good too. like he shredz 64th notes at 280BPM. This one time he drank too much and hurt himself thats how he got that scar on his wrist not from being emo or anything. He works with children orphaned by the sea and he once nursed a baby kangaroo to adulthood after he ran its mother over by accident. He called it slappy. In conclusion Big80smullet is a pinacle of style and charm and is an all round good bloke. Having clearly established that fact could i please have this as an avatar.

[willfellmarsy]

Why am i banned from the review page?
I don't know if this is the right place to ask so if someone can answer or lead me there i'd be very appreciative.

[Jom]

You and the other guy are unbanned now, but for the last time:

Stop biting on troll bait.

[willfellmarsy]

Thanks and sorry about that.

[Jom]

Angmar:

Thanks for your honesty and whatnot, but how can you be an accomplice to a trolling effort but not be responsible for the negs? You can't be one without doing the other.

[Angmar]

It was with a friend, normally we troll other sites but I helped him make the account and that one list, he looked around and figured out how to neg and stuff, all I was involved with was the list and account creation.

[Jom]

But they were all from your account, not his. If you guys were using the same computer, you didn't log off properly.

[Angmar]

They weren't from Bobrocket? That's odd, my computer ****s up with the review site an logging in all the time so it's possible, but I didn't do the negs, he did, he informed me about all the people getting upset about them.

[Jom]

No, they were all from Angmar, which is why I said you can't have one without the other, heh. I never stood the point of trolling on the reviews site because the damage is reversed with a single click. All the time that people put into hitting 'no' in multiple reviews is wasted because I click once and everything reverts back.

Christian forums, I understand, because the hysteria is much more funny. Here, people get cranky, then everything gets fixed, and then people shut up. With the Christians, they start praying more.

[Angmar]

Oh yeah, I did a Christian forum once :p

So how long?

[Jom]

I unbanned you. I'm just saying, it's such a silly thing to do here. Go nuts on Christian forums all you want.

hello mxrm moderating staff. i (mappy) am well aware that i have posted frivolously in the past, however it is also in my impression that though my main account is fairly banned, i still am a contributing member of the forum and i still won the wham! cover contest. i've definitely improved at not causing gigantic flamewars over the past year, which is also good.

i've been posting here since 2004, and i have about 20,000 posts and i love r&m. i also love orchid, and i think that an orchid avatar would be pretty sweet, you know?

i've contributed to such threads as metalcore, deathcore, any other death heads?, black metal, christian rock and metal, and the r&m screamo thread (started the screamo and deathcore threads). i generally give recommendations to those seeking bands of a style, and i don't just namedrop constantly like some posters.

therefore, i'd like to ask if a mod could find it in his heart to give me dis avatar:

that's cool dude

[Angmar]

I would like to request a new avatar, and seeing as I have written a few essays around just me I would like to combine how the site has helped me and what I've done for it as well.

Angmar began his activites back in the middle of 2006 when one day he noticed that MX tabs was shut down. Angmar always enjoyed reading reviews from the site MX tabs was run off of so he decided to join himself so he could get in on the fun. While he was active on the review site Angmar wrote several reviews but then soon saw the light that is the forums.

The forums welcomed Angmar, the users were all cool and he was eager to get away from the review site and try and merge into the forum community. While here Angmar has done his best to help others by contributing to whatever he is asked to or sees an opportunity. As well as making him a contributing member of this site the forums helped him greatly in music. Angmar went from listening to just general metal that everyone knew to many other underground bands, he also branched off into a lot of other music he hadn't considered before like folk, trip-hop and ambient.

Overall Angmar sees that this site is generally a great place to be and that is made possible by it's population of good users, Angmar also likes to believe he contributes a positive atmosphere to this forum as he tries to be kind and helpful to others. Angmar is always up for recommending someone new music or helping someone out with a site problem such as contacting the administrator for a name change.

In conclusion Angmar has been helped a lot by this site, and believes he does a good job of being a positive member of this forum, thus deserving a new big avatar to show his love for the music of Desiderii Marginis.

ITT nobody in here knows what copyright is.

The only difference is that he didn't register his ****, which would give him the benefit of being able to sue for up to (I believe) $150,000 in damages in the event of violation and a bunch of other neat little benefits.

Just because you guys don't like him doesn't mean he's wrong, and just because he's a whiny little bitch doesn't mean that Trev's actions were legal.

Knowledge is a beatiful thing. Go to school or look some **** up before you spout off.

[Permanent Solution]

Enough.

[Riva]

Just to set things straight: enc, you put that photo and text in the public domain willingly. That makes it fair game for trolls, as unfair as that may seem. The best you can do is either ask Trev nicely, or ignore it whilst Trev gets bored with it.

If he put it on MySpace I think Rupert Murdoch owns the copyright. I'm pretty sure that's in the licensing agreement.

it used to be like that - someone pointed it out and called shenanigans and they removed it, i think.

he is the major shareholder in Fox and myspace, among many other things.

Thanks.

[Stevie II]

Heh, I guess I don't get the avatar then.

How about this for a suggestion; a thread perhaps a sticky that gives a list of albums, 10 perhaps from each genre/subgenre listing the best and most essential starting points for genres.

[the2stranger]

We had a trhead like tht ages and ages ago, I think Jondur of Legions wrote that.

It's a good idea.
I'm willing to work on (ambient) drone and funeral doom.

aye, i'd like to work on death metal/black metal - we could ask the bm thread, the dm thread etc to list their top 10 albums and then somehow make a top 10 list from that. i'd make one restriction of just one album per band, to give variety to the lists.

[MBS]

The CR thread did that a while back. A while back means... bout 2 years. hah.

But yeah, it's a pretty solid idea. Have the regs of each threads talk about it, then edit it into the first post.

[Angmar]

I'd take part in that kind of thread as well.

[Jom]

Sounds good to me. I don't care if they're separate discussion threads for each genre (that might be preferred, incidentally) or if they're in the regular threads, just make sure that I get the lists so that I can edit them (or, better yet, have a new thread stickied at the top).

[Stevie II]

OK, great. I'd prefer a sticky thread rather than a list at the start of each thread - that could easily be ignored. I can't think right now how to organize this...perhaps open the respective threads to nominations and perhaps create a new thread for genres that don't have a thread in itself, e.g. heavy metal, then pool them together into a voting thread or something - or, any other suggestions?

Which genres? I'd say,

black metal
death metal
heavy metal
grind
thrash metal
doom metal

any others?

I'd like to stress though that it's not a matter of favorite albums in the genres, but rather the essential albums to get started with the genre. This should be good!

[Kingofdudes]

power metal?
Traditional metal?(stuff like Iron Maiden)

edit: I guess traditional could fall under heavy metal

[Iluvatar]

Guys are we forgetting that this is technically the "Rock & Metal" forum

and that not only mettul exists

[Kingofdudes]

Who actually listens to rock these days?

[Stevie II]

classical metal = heavy metal....

power metal? sure....

I don't know about opening it up to rock - this forum is called rock and metal but really only metal is discussed here anyway

[dinosaurxbrocore]

you forget that the metalcore thread has more discussion going on than heavy mettle and thrash

[Iluvatar]

If we do not have "Rock" roundtable discussions then the only genre I will be able to weigh in on is metalcore!

Besides, rock still gets discussed here more than anywhere else (alt/indie doesnt count)

[Jom]

I would opt for a traditional metal tag over a classical or heavy metal tag, just because it would better set the stage for the other genres.

Rock will work as well, obviously. There are going to be albums that transcend genres (progressive - Pink Floyd compared to... Opeth? or something). We need to come up with the rock genres as well, though.

Glam will have to be one genre throw a bone at Spat Out Plath.

My suggestions for metal would go like this:

Traditional
Death
Black
Doom (I guess.)
Thrash
Power
Folk/Viking/Pirate/Ninja/Norse/Nordic/etc.
Grind
Nu/Alternative (Industrial could fit here as well I suppose)

For Rock, I would say:

Traditional
Classic
Jam
Hard/Glam
Grunge

Then, other genres:

Metalcore
Progressive (there should be a distinction between prog rock and prog metal)

---

These are only suggestions, not set in stone or anything.

Also, I want to know how you guys are going to score this in terms of a rubric.

e.g. Nominate five albums under a stratified scoring system:

1. 11 points
2. 7 points
3. 4 points
4. 2 points
5. 1 point

But if you want them weighted equally, that's fine as well, but I think having that stratification will help once more and more people contribute.

Also: while a dumb rule, there should be a specific postcount set (i.e., don't accept any posts that have < X posts [say 100, just for example) as well as no alternate accounts.

[pate]

Folk/Viking metal and grind should be included too, but it sounds good otherwise.

[Jom]

The only problem I have is that there will inevitably be arguments over albums' placement in genres. For instance, I don't want to see Blackwater Park to be in both death, progressive, and traditional metal (this is just an example).

Also, are we doing the thread all in one, or are we breaking it up by each genre? I figure an all-in-one thing will be easy if people copypasta the form in the first post, which would look like this:

Traditional Metal (rank 1-5 in descending order)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Death Metal
1.
2.
3.
4.
5

Black Metal
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

. . . etc.

Discussion would wind up taking place in the thread, I suppose. It's going to be a monster thread, but if we keep to a very, very strict timetable, this can be squared away before mid-summer, I think.

[pate]

Yeah, that will happen no matter what. Maybe we can set what genre (for example) Opeth goes under.

Well, I'll start up a preliminary thread in a little bit just for discussion and see where it goes. pate, is there anything that should be mentioned in the general outline?

[Eliminator]

jom i dont get the difference between these two:

Traditional
Classic


can u explain

[pate]

Traditional = Breaking Benjamin
Classic = The Who

I guess.

pate, is there anything that should be mentioned in the general outline?

Nothing I can think of at this time.

[Angmar]

Classic could be like old school and traditional could be sounds like the roots of a genre or something idk. They probably don't need separation.

[Jom]

Yeah, I meant for Classic Rock to be for... Classic Rock thread bands. The Who, The Eagles, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Kansas, and so on.

Traditional is a bad word for it, though, you're right - I just didn't want to say "Mainstream Rock" but that'll be less ambiguous.

[Angmar]

So are we ever gonna unsticky the top albums results thread? After all it is May. :lol:

[the2stranger]

:)

aye, i'd like to work on death metal/black metal - we could ask the bm thread, the dm thread etc to list their top 10 albums and then somehow make a top 10 list from that. i'd make one restriction of just one album per band, to give variety to the lists.

Cool, looks like its coming together. Seeing the recent discussion in this thread.

EDIT:
I agree with Angmar, unsticky the top album thread.

[pate]

I've been saying that for months! :lol:

[Stevie II]

This sounds great :). I didn't expect so many genres, but there's no harm in doing more genres. So these are the genres I'd do:

Black Metal
Death Metal
Traditional/Heavy/Classical metal
Grind
Thrash Metal
Doom Metal
Power Metal
Metalcore
Progressive Metal
Folk/Viking Metal
Traditional Rock
Classic Rock
Hard rock
Grunge

Perhaps?

What I think we should do is you guys perhaps take a genre or two each, and that'd be your responsibility to do. What I'd do is within the respective threads open up for a week any nominations, max 10 per user then collect them together and open up for a week of voting, where people select the 10 from the list they believe is essential. Or, if no thread exists create one for the genre for nominations/voting. I wouldn't have any ranking to the votes as I think it'd be a tedious task to think whether one album is more essential than another - they're both essential!...

As regards to which band belongs to which genre, I don't think it's too important if one band goes across two lists, but what's important should perhaps be where they're most influential. For example, Opeth is more important in progressive metal than in death metal. Or perhaps we could take the band as the genre on metal archives for metal and idk for other genres....

So perhaps a week of voting and then it should be all done, i.e. everything could be done within 2 weeks. Maybe if nobody volunteers for a genre listed then it won't happen, or it could be done at another time and added to the thread.

If you guys agree then we could start nominating tomorrow for a week, ending Wed 14th and then from thurs 15th a week of voting.

Any volunteers then to handle genres? Personally I'd be happy to handle death and black metal, my speciality.

Thanks for helping !...

[the2stranger]

I'll take on doom metal.

[pate]

Power and traditional metal


Also, I think it should be kept to one album per band, so the traditional metal list isn't half taken up by Iron Maiden, etc.

[Stevie II]

Power and traditional metal


Also, I think it should be kept to one album per band, so the traditional metal list isn't half taken up by Iron Maiden, etc.

yeah i think that's important - it gives variety to it. so I'd accept nominations and votes for multiple albums but the final list wouldn't include more than 1 from any artist.

[UmphreysHead]

I can do Jam.

[dinosaurxbrocore]

I can do metalcore.

GUYS IF YOU ARE NOT REPORTING PROBLEMS, ASKING QUESTIONS OR MAKING SUGGESTIONS I AM GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE LEAVE THE PREMISES


thank you and have a good afternoon of posting here on wonderful mx

[Riva]

So yeah guys, my parents won't let me go to the Pearl Jam concert, they are such fascists... oh wait, I thought this was the community thread, silly me, because of all the spam and trolling and stuff. But now I see it's the Report Problems thread, which makes me think everyone here can use their one day ban to try and figure out the difference for themselves!

[Riva]

Oh, I see we have a slow learner in the class.

TimJim has been posting on MX for approximately 1.5 years and lurking for approximately .5 years. he was not all that popular and was trolled by almost everyone in his native D&P. he continued posting anyways and people soon accepted him for what he really is: different. TimJim started posting in GD approximately 1 year ago and has made that his second home, though he posts more frequently there, D&P will always be his homeland. TimJim can be found in all parts of MX except for L&S and Jazz.

****ing ENC is getting out of hand. He's finally stopped advertising his shitty website on our review site but he's still being a shameless douchebag on these forums

Notice how if you check the threads, none of these were at all on topic

I'm tired of all the bullshit at YUGS

"oh you don't talk about bass in your reviews"
*i talk abotu bass in next review*
"You reviews sound like an essay and your english is terrible"
*i change my review style with new review*
"you english still sucks, stop reviewing"

>.<

I don't even know why i still post over there, it's not like i get any links from that site anymore anyway...

Synastry anyone?

Right now i'm leaning on a 3 but i won't know for sure till i write my review

Anyone heard of Burning Skies? Their new album was sent to me by the label after i requested presskits from them

I dont care if you delete, ban, whatever. But it's getting really annoying.

[Riva]

I wasn't aware the restrictions on the peanut gallery were allowed again. :confused:

I know you all think your personal opinion is omg awesome, but seriously, if it's not a problem you're reporting, a question you're asking, or a suggestion about the forum, you should consider STFU and GTFO.

jason i was making a seperate complaint

must i post examples so that im not accused of spamming and my post is deleted pointlessly much like when i said somebody looks like somebody i know in the picture thread?

this is enc's quality posting:

and wait! his post started the whole off topic conversation!

[Riva]

I already said that I was looking into it. Your separate complaint wasn't really separate anyway, even if it had been necessary. If you want, I can add it to the rules: "If someone has reported a problem that is identical (or very similar) to yours, perhaps your input isn't required".

And I don't know why your lookalike comment was deleted, I only deleted the usual bs between you and asfaggotspost.

As flattered as I am by Brian's school-yard man-crush on me, I think you should probably close this thread and let him retain what little dignity he has left.

[gmoneyguy]

maybe you should address why you are douchebag? I am Tyler Munro and my ego is so great that I call out bad trolls when maybe the trolling has a spark from my own douchebaggery!

But I am insecure, and trying to shore up some dignity! Its true because Tyler Munro said it.

[Ghoul Hustler]

Does anyone like the idea of an MXR&M awards thread? They've been done quite a bit before and have been successful. I think it could add some fun to the forums for a week or so.

example:

most likely to go fishi: htidmhsoooo
best cello player: hevyriver

etcetc

[pate]

That could be cool.

Yeah, cool idea actually.
I'll participate.

I suggest you start a rough draft like thread as is done with the genre thread that Jom is doing now.

These pages are no more then some juvenile rambling between Stevie and Mappy.
It gets annoying.
Having discussions is ok, but this is getting rediculous and not meant for a thread on music discussion. It hardly has anything to do with music, just name calling, discussion about being trendy, who's a hypocrite and who's more intelligent.

i can has new zooey moderator jason/wish/jommy? :)


abstract: mbs has been an outstanding member of the rock and metal community for AT LEAST 4 YEARS NOW HOLY **** I AM OLD. he occasionally posts in the community thread to gripe about life but still lurks some of the major threads to catch up on modern metulz \m/

while mbs has expanded his musical tastes to beyond rock and metal, he still considers this sub-fora his home. in may of 2004, when a bright eyed mbs registered to this great website, he made his home in the classic rock thread and r&m community thread, contributing interesting discussion and occasionally arguing about neil young, which ironically continues to this day.

mbs has been there for the forums when they were under attack. he helped report thread-spawning links when those were around, and encouraged people to never give up hope in the lockdown threads of olde. mbs also polices the hell out of the report problems thread, reminding people to stay on topic. he has taken many negative reputation dives for this, but it is for the good of the community :')

now, mbs posts mainly in gd, vg&m, and sometimes ai, but he still considers r&m his home. also, he loves jason and his big aussie self, even though he does not have a kael'thas avatar anymore and this saddens mbs :( mbs also misses the good days of the happy lab that used to grace sputnikmusic moderator jom's avatar slot, and he thinks that wish is an extremely cool guy.

mbs kindly requests an avatar change because holy christ zooey is cute

Enjoy :)

You have soft deleted and hard deleted. That one was hard deleted. Kacper was quite right, this isn't the Pit. It's bad enough that every moron and his dog is posting crappy pictures all over the community thread. I've deleted far more popular threads in my time on MX, and that was also when they were too full of idiocy to smelt out the slag from the gold.

I mean, it's not like those pictures were deleted forever from the internet. If it really bothers you, make a flickr account and post them all there so you can view them every day. You could even pass it off as your own photography if you're clever.

I'd wait until the constant downtime gets rectified. Changing your name on here will carry over to the review site, but there is a delay. Now, add to that delay the site's daily downtime and I personally think you'll get more grief than satisfaction. Tough it out.
