A reaccuring annoyance here in the forums.

He was once a well respected moderator here in the forums, but did a more or less dumb thing (if it was or not lies in the eye of the beholder) which lead to losing his modship. He was offered modship a while later again, but refused, and instead comes every now and then to the forums to attack with spawning links and spam bots, mainly attacking mx.
Do you remember when most of this happened? I don't think I recall hearing about him while this was going on.

Hey Damrod, I may just be a n00b about this, but is it preferable to put band line-ups AFTER the review rather than at the head? Personally I think they lead in quite nicely to the review, but I'm just asking.
mx doesn't want them in reviews at all, actually.

mx asked for lineups to be put at the end of a review (or at least not as head). It looks kinda messed up when the review is displayed on the front page. If you want to have it up near the head, write a short introductory paragraph and put it behind it.

Hope that cleared it up :)

Plexi exploited a loophole in a prior version of vBulletin where you could log in to anyone's account with a blank password barring you had certain clearance/restrictions/etc. Since Plexi is quite good with computers, he thought he was in the clear... but he messed up along the way.

LightRaven, an ex-mod, found out - as he tried to hack into hers. She went to Jeremy and he demodded Plexi on the spot without an explanation.

I did it in Photoshop, but I guess it can be doen in most image manipulation applications (at least the ones that are not as basic as Paint is).

I made the original pic b/w, and made it duotone afterwards (black and blue, that was lost during conversion from the psd-file to JPEG). When that was done, I changed the threshold of the colors until the blending between them was as blurry as it is now. Actually it was darn easy once I figured out where to find all the stuff in Photoshop

Uhh you're a bit off there in your information buddy. :p

There was a problem with the vBulletin software that allowed people to sign into an april/may 04 account with a blank password. Plexiglass was still a dedicated mod at the time and tested it out on the moderator accounts to make sure they were safe, then after 5 attempts lightraven got an email saying he had tryed to enter her account. His intentions were pure, but he got demodded. Then he started using it to enter people's accounts.

Well, first off to play was Emanuel and they were pretty good, the crowd was wild and I was at the front. I think they played a little less than half an hour.

After that I was still at the very front and center, but when The Early November played it was as if I was fighting for my life. The crowd was worse then any death metal show ever, no ****ing joke. Overall that was alright, but I really don't care for Emanuel or T.E.N.

After that I was right above the right speker so my hearing got shot to hell during Saves The Day, probably the weakest performance of the night. I had never heard any of their stuff before and I won't be looking now either.

The final band, the reason I even went to the concert, Senses Fail. Yeah I like 'em, I know none of you do, but it was great. They played some of their best stuff, then they left, but came back to play my fav. song by them, Lady in a Blue Dress and the final song I don't like-187. I got into a good mosh pit there and have some nice bruises and even a cut in my leg. Overall, I give the concert a 3.5 out of 5.

Just a general question, how many times do you think one should listen to an album before being able to write a competent and accurate review on it? I'd say at least 8 times. Anything less, and you haven't gotten the overall feel or "idea" of the album.

Don't you think after only one listen, you miss some things? For example, if you only listen once you can't say that the album has grown on you. I've listened to plenty of albums that I don't like at first listen, but grow to like after many. Whenever I'm trying to get into a new genre I'm like this. Maybe it's just me, though.

Yes, that's why I listen and then keep going back. Writing after one single listen will yield a serious lack of detail, unless you're doing a trck by track.

Yeah, but that's the thing... I don't write a review as the song plays. The song is continually looped and analyzed (where appropriate) until I've finished with the review of that particular track. It's a lot easier for me, personally.

Yes. Yes it does. I don't think it was Chad though. It was some weird name I had never seen before. He posted a tinyurl link that I clicked without thinking. It led to some random site, and I got suspicious. I looked at his other posts (there were only 5) and it was the same link all over mx.

Yeah, but even if Chad got into your account, it wouldn't last very long, so long as you were online. That, and he wouldn't be able to do a whole heck of a lot with it, seeing as how your powers are basically temporary when compared to an admin's, save for permanently deleting posts and threads. If Chad went on a crazy ban spree, the bans would just get lifted. That, and the posts that were deleted or whatever could be recovered. So yeah, you don't have anything to worry about, really, but it's good to be safe than sorry.

Wait, you're the angry looking mother****er at the back?

That made me :lol: x 1232346523934580745986798456

But, yeah, 100 points for Spat Out Plath :thumb:

I did not notice that when we made the photos, but I basically look grumpy on over 90% of the photos we did (which were quite a lot). Can't really say why though.

EDIT: Thanks for making my day, I'm still chuckling... :)

Any results re: your new job?

I hope you aren't pissed off for your interview :eek:

Nice review, though I have to agree with Jom on this one: There is NO, I repeat, NO emo in Blink182.

I can't force you, but I would appreciate it if you could edit the e-word for something that describes what you are aiming for. It just fuels the misunderstanding of a decent genre the way it is now

This made me laugh when I saw it in that Blink review.

I'm not sure which one you are referring to. :confused:

If you mean the job at the anatomy institute, I got that one. I'm very happy about that, as it takes a big wheight of my shoulders. I'll have about 380 bucks more income per month from now on.

It seems to be quite nice as well. The people are really friendly, the work is. Don't have to do anything with corpses though, I'm there for the IT :)

Yeah, I meant whatever job you were talking to me about on MSN a week or so ago.

If that's the one, then congratulations :)

Hm, I think the one we talked about on MSN was the one I had to take the test for. Have not heard of them since then. :(

Well, we'll see what comes

EDIT: It's cool to state "I work in the institute for anatomy research". Everyone immideatelly asks: "You work with corpses!?!" :)

I'm still not happy with my SOAD review. I guess I suck or something.

Also, tehchad repped me, apparently to apologise for a past incident. What a strange day. I wonder what account he was using.

Either BisonCrossing's/Justin's or Paul150/Doctor Robert's, I think.

Damrod when you said your avatar is a picture of you I got which one you were right away cause your hair is over your face on your avatar and in the picture you hair is the longest of every one of the guys. But the two faces of you look different however. I can't see your face real well in the band picture either cause it looks all muffled(or some word) out.

I'm so pissed as hell. :mad: I'm in the middle of working on JeW-Bleed American and the review is a tribute to the style of reviewing that Mr. Jomathon does. I'm still doing it however. I'm half-way done with it.

Haha, and Paul was so paranoid about losing his account. Awesome.

Other review sites suck. You could always use Rate Your Music, if you're determined.

My avatar is different of cause as it is altered in Photoshop. And I'm the one that was most far away from the camera on that picture, so I guess it was a bit hard to figure out. :)

I found another review site. www.metalreviews.com

I won't ban you for that one. Though Jom has a point, it could be considered advertising. Be careful with that, some mods are quite fast in banning people for advertisement

Leper Affinity

11-19-2005, 01:31 PM

That can be considered advertising? Wow. That site looks pretty bad anyway, so I'll stick with sputnik.

Storm In A Teacup

11-19-2005, 01:31 PM

Sorry about that I wasn't aware I could be banned for posting other review sites. I'll edit it out.

Damrod

Jom

11-19-2005, 01:40 PM

Hm, about it being advertising:

Banning for posting it once would not let the finger march towards the trigger, but mods tend to look at the poster in question's other posts. If the link appears there as well, a ban will probably follow.

Yeah, that's right. Why else would I type "omg band 4 advertising" other than me joking?

Basically, if you were saying things like...

Hey guys check out my site (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/)!

... over and over and over again, then you'd get banned.

Or if you just made an account and said things like the above, then you'd get banned. Of course, no one is exempt from the no-advert rule to begin with, so...

I can't wait to read Spat's review of Hypnotize. I actually have no clue what he'll rate it so I'm curious, I'm only online right now really waiting for it when I should be writing my next review. :)

Edit: Oh yeah, can someone tag my review of Hawthorne Heights over BTBP's?

Sorry BTBP. :)

Like the jester avatar anyone?

No? I didn't think so. :(

I started typing random things into google and that popped up at me.

I think the word I typed in was "comprehensive".

Hey Shadows, did you check them out?

No, not yet, I forgot. I've kind of been sidetracked lately. I can do it now though.

There's nothing at all wrong with Michael Jackson.

As long as it's his old stuff.

Dave de Sylvia

Michael's new stuff ain't nuffin to be scoffed at. It doesn't match his virtually flawless earlier efforts, but it's better than most of his type.

Also, I think I've written two 5 star reviews, and I don't really like one of them anymore.

11-19-2005, 11:18 PM

Despite the flack he gets that he may or may not deserve, he really is the king of pop.

I've written two 5 stars. I had a third, but it was my first review ever and when I looked back it seemed so biased I couldn't believe what I had done.
