Sup Schyma :wave:

To answer your question: nah, I don't think so. A lot of people write rock articles, it's just that no one reads them. I wrote a Bob Seger article awhile back and I had to bump it all the time. It didn't even officially make it to a second page :(.

There's always talk of dividing rock and metal into two separate forums, but I think it would just kill both of them, to be honest.

But why?

I think the reason why it's so popular is because they co-exist with each other forum.

Agreed 100% Jom. Metal has always been more popular around here, so I don't think rock is disappearing. Also, the fact that R&M are one subforum has opened me up to an innumerable amount of metal bands, like Arcturus, since we were talking about them. I really think my musical tastes would differ greatly if R&M were seperate sections.

Kurtz- He plays rythm guitar. Just thought I'd answer your question since he appears to be offline.

Yeah, I'd have never gotten turned on to so much cool metal music if this weren't a single forum. I'd be heading the way of bands like Fuel, Breaking Benjamin, and that sort of good but mediocre stuff.

EDIT: I just wrote a really weird but sorta cool chord progression. It goes:

E---8----12----8---12----8----7--------------
B--10----9----10---9-----8----7-------------
G---9----9-----9----9----9----8---7h9-9-9-9
D---7----10----7---10---10---9---7h9-9-9-9
A---0----0-----0----0----10---9---7----7-7-7-
E--------------------------8----7

Strum at a brisk tempo. It's so peculiar but I like it.

Wait, if you're agreeing with me, and I'm agreeing with Jom that means that...:amaze: You and Jom are agreeing as well!

:confetti:


For me, I'd be stuck listening to System of a Down and Linkin Park. Not terrible bands, but just not the best either.

Speaking of System of a Down- I am so mad that Question! is their new single. :( It's one of my favorite SOAD songs, and now I'm going to be forced to hear it a million times, making me want to never hear it again. I could just not listen to the radio, but it honestly helps my long days driving truck go a bit faster. :p

Well, I've got school tomorrow, like most of you, so I'm going to be off to bed. Night. :wave:

Heh heh heh :p

Anyway, good night, Jake.

I'm allowed to disagree with Jom on occaision, as harshly as it may happen. But I still consider us friends. Another thing I agree with Jom on is that it's stupid to hold grudges, especially internet ones. I'll only be mad at him as long as he's pissing me off. :D

Really, I didn't know the "I hate Jim" vibes were coming off so strong besides my two blow-ups (which I'm still not entirely sure were unjustified either :p). I don't intend for that to be the case.

[QUOTE=Jom]There's always talk of dividing rock and metal into two separate forums, but I think it would just kill both of them, to be honest.[/QUOTE]Ever think the Rock community (i.e. Non Metal fans) would like to split the two forums? It's like we never get a say in what happens in here. I mean it's not like I hate Metal heads because I really respect some of you guys but our threads die quick and we only have 4 threads that regularly stay on the first page. It just gets annoying when a Rock write up can stay on the first page for 5 min and Metal one could stay up for days. It's not like Alt & Indie counts for all of Rock. I don't know I just feel as if we're getting drowned out that's all. :(

My collective soul thread didn't even get 1 page of replies... :-\

Metal is a more dominant genre here, but I definitely think it's better as is. I've learned about more new bands as it is than I would otherwise. I wish Punk and Pop-Punk weren't split up...although the Punk kids aren't too nice so maybe not.

I will never take a wander into he D&P forum ever again. :(:upset:

*bump* hahaha

So, in from school, I had to show the new 6th form intake stuff...

then I gave up and went home

[b]Attn Jom, Jason and Ollie:[/b] sorry for disappearing last night but my internet completely failed :(

That's OK old chap, Jom archived the meeting anyway :p

Meeting?

Magik, did you manage to download Grievous Acoustic Behaviour before your internet died?

Huh. That does sound pretty weird.

Which reminds me, I need to finish up my assignment for guitar lessons. I have to compose two riffs using the chord shapes I'm learning this week.

The meeting of the Chaos Crue... maybe Jom or Jason will fill you in about some of the details, I don't know, I've been sworn to secrecy ;)

What the hell? Why has everyone stolen my Hellsing avatars?

I also don't find it amusing, i say you find someone other than Arucard for your gang.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]That's OK old chap, Jom archived the meeting anyway :p[/QUOTE]
I see, well he had better hit me up with the transcript. Hint+

Nope, My internet died before Jake finished uploading it.

You guys should try this out. It's cool.

Don't worry Joe, I suggest when Jom and Jason are on, we get a better Crue related Avatar, I don't understand the Hellsing chice myself...

Maybe you copied it of me because im so cool?

Well, Joe: we systematically are all trying to piss you off. The world is out to get you. :p

[quote=Ali]I see, well he had better hit me up with the transcript. Hint+[/quote]

Mass e-mail! Mass e-mail!

Oh haha Jom.

And i know for a fact the World isn't out to get me, i had a very good day. Im also not chronically depressed/paranoid.

A question:

What program is out there where I can shrink GIF files? Not necessarily shrink them in dimension, but in kb.

Let me try to clarify: I have a 100 x 100 avatar, but it's 60+ KB, and I need to get it down to less than 40. Is there a way I can keep the 100 x 100, but get it to less than 40KB?

Please and thank you.

I'm pretty sure Easy Thumbnails will do the trick.

Unfortunately, this is a .gif file, and the program you gave me doesn't have that as an option.

A for effort, though :)

I don't have that on my computer, I don't think.

And... edit:

Remember how I got that mysterious e-mail from that kid wanting to start a screamo and hardcore band? This made me lol:

[quote]I must admit, I just sent out a mass email. I'm desperate man! No, I just love to sing, scream occasionally, and just make rock music. What do you play? Bc i need anything right now.

By the way: My name is Josh Lowe, nicknamed J.Lo (yeah, seriously). I'm18, freshman, studying poli sci, minor in psych. I've heard of circles take the square, i think, but i've never heard them. i listen to silverstein, atreyu, hawthorne heights, norma jean, trivium, stuff like that. So are you interested in giving something a shot? I sure as hell am. Feel free to contact me, or just write back, whatever.[/quote]

Haha, -core kids.

What is this "Crue" thing that's popping up everywhere?
