07.30.10 | I don't really see what you are talking about as far as new users go, but tensions have been pretty high since MJ left. It seems like he split Sputnik up. |
Winsomniac
07.30.10 | There was CTTS drama? This website is starting to seem like a soap opera I started watching midway through.
Furthermore, just as new users can potentially ruin the site, your respective standings as established and respected users(cept you, 'feit. your name is 50% cuntessjkiluithink) can potentially fix it. So fling verbal crap at those you deem moronic until it's fixed, so long as you do it correctly?

07.30.10 | It's hard to word things when you get caught up in the different possibilities of the situations. I re-read all the stuff I just put up there and it's pretty muddy, but yeah. The point gets across.
Hostile in the sense that it's personal, not personable sorry.
"I blame newer users, although it isn't their fault."
It's not entirely their fault, but I still sorta blame em for all the drama and rage going on right now.
Bottom line, I don't like the vibes here. It feels like when you're in a relationship that's about to end. That tense feeling right before shit hits the fan.

07.30.10 | i dont think it had anything to do with MJ or CTTS
the core of old users have grown sarcastic and weary, while the new users show up all bright eyed and bushy tailed with almost zero knowledge of how to argue a point or write a review, then the trolls/alts make it almost impossible to distinguish between new users trying to find their way and the said idiotic troll users |

thediamondcanopy
07.30.10 | And the site has become more about picking apart grammar and finding fault than the actual music. I think we're turning away from the core completely. Music is the greatest common factor, but we're putting it on the back burner. |
Romulus
07.30.10 | People also have to realize that when they criticize new users it's not just the people who joined a week ago, it's the people who've joined within the last year or so. I'm relatively new myself.
I remember my first list on Sputnik was terrible, but I got so much helpful advice/recs that I stuck around and found better stuff. If I posted that list as a new user today I'd get absolutely trashed. I've actually been meaning to make an alt for it to see if I'm right.
Personally it doesn't really bother me, but it's something I've noticed. |
Knott-
07.30.10 | people say this kind of shit all the time but at the moment it's actually true
about 5 people talk about the music the rest of you are morons |
Winsomniac
07.30.10 | been lurking like, 2.5. Kind of just used Sputnik as a music news site more than anything else for a long time. Also, I used to write reviews for the school newspaper(incredibly prestigious, I know), and would use it to cure writer's block.
So yeah, I stole your reviewz.(christ I need a sarcmark) |

07.30.10 | It was cool when everyone was balls up for Brand New and GY!BE, but it's just. Ugh. Like a year ago things were perfect. It seems like things have gone downhill since the staff blogs got introduced. Not blaming them, just an observation. |
LegendofPittman
07.30.10 | I have been here a year as well, and even I can tell a drastic change. I only get on here in bursts maybe once or twice a week and the general feel of the site is getting a bit uncomfortable. It seems like the site may need a cleansing. |
thediamondcanopy
07.30.10 | ^completely agree. |
Deviant.
07.30.10 | One thing I have noticed though is looking back at a lot of the older reviews, a lot more people are commenting on them these days. So, while we do have a bunch of idiots running around here there also seems to be kind of camaraderie between certain users, which is nice to see |
Deviant.
07.30.10 | Kinda didn't word my last post properly - the reviews being written today are getting a lot more comments than the older ones |
thediamondcanopy
07.30.10 | But half the time the comments aren't about the music, just a bunch of bs arguing. |
Winsomniac
07.30.10 | Ehhh, truth be told some of the flaming is just stubborn people(myself included) butting heads, I think.
The Acacia Strain got pretty harsh/funny today, but it ended pretty aiiight. |

07.30.10 | I lurked this site since before MxTabs was closed down, and only made an account at the beginning of this year. So far i've only met and interacted with intelligent and really cool people. Of course, i've seen much of what this list is aimed at, but declined to have a part in it. I guess it's who you choose to associate with really. I've enjoyed being here thus far. |

07.30.10 | "But half the time the comments aren't about the music, just a bunch of bs arguing."
Yeah, i'd agree that the comments aren't really about the music half the time, but i'd put money on only a small amount being arguments. They're more just general nonsense that show signs of friendship etc (even if they should be talking about the music) |

Baha, half the time? Son, pick any review thread and 10 pages in you won't read music anywhere. Doesn't bother me at all, and it shouldn't really bother anyone else.
But I'm all about people around the world communicating, so I personally enjoy it very much to see this kind of stuff. |

07.30.10 | I'm very far from lonely, Winsomniac. Very, very far. And when I am lonely, I'm not really alone, so therefore I'm not lonely being alone. But if I were lonely, I know I could be alone and not be lonely, because I'm not lonely when I'm alone. |
