[QUOTE=Mekkalayakay]I honestly hate official threads. Yes, they clear out unwanted threads, but other than that, they are just a major negative to me. They are just bundles and bundles of what appears to be the same information over again, and when a new user comes to post because he's never heard about the band, it's "stfu newb, this has been covered millions of times, read the thread".

In addition to that, I never learn anything new about these official thread bands. If they have a new album coming out, or somebody dies, nobody heres about it. Why? These threads have regulars that read these threads. And that's all. Just people who post in there every day. And there aren't a whole lot of them; compared to the number of people that post daily in the R&M forum.

It's more of a whiney rant than something I think the forum should really do without, but I just thought I'd express my thoughts.



My suggestion though: Only make an official thread when a major album comes out (if we get a lot of threads about the band) And when things calm down, close it down.

Try posting in the Pink Floyd thread, Mr. Hasn't Posted In The Pink Floyd thread...

At least read the first post (mine).

Well of course the regulars of these threads are going to disagree with me.

Pink Floyd Thread...


Crappy threads...

Itd suck big time for me if the off tool thread was closed

[QUOTE=Mr Herb]Itd suck big time for me if the off tool thread was closed[/QUOTE]
I agree. I like the official threads. I don't understand Mekk's complaint. If you're really interested in the bands that have official threads, which aren't that many, then you'd either: a) read the thread regularly, or b) know about a new album or big occurence from some other source and go into the official thread to talk about it.

I don't think we should get rid of official threads in general, but I'd say t here are too many. There are the bands that for sure need them (such as Tool, and Metallica), but there are others who we never a had a ridiculous amount of threads for (such as Megadeth and Black Sabbath).

Pfft.

The R&M thread is more organized than all of the other YSI threads since it's the only one with updates.

problem ^

[QUOTE=Jimmypageguitarhero]is the AIM album trading thing Ilegal?[/QUOTE]

Technically yes, but since it is a private thing, the forums are not liable for damages. The reason the YSI thread is limited to single songs is because the forums are acting as a direct go-between. So, it is more of a reflection of the mods. Don't worry, the FBI aren't watching... Unless I summon them with the magic words: [size=1]plastic firearm explosive[/size]

Does anybody have a link to a site where I can find out new bands, Or tell me which bands to try, cos right now my music is really pissing me off, I just got into Tool and Metallica and i've got Undertow and Lateralus and AJFA and RTL but I need some newer bands, like unknown bands that I could try, And don't post a link to 'Broadening your musical tastes' cos The songs don't work on Ma PC THanks.

Set up a trade on the forums, then go on AIM and trade with the person you set up the deal with. More information should be in the thread itself.

What you reported was something that happened in [b]The Pit, NOT in R&M.[/b]

The R&M mods don't care about what goes on in The Pit, since they don't mod it.

It's your fault that you got banned for posting in an illegal thread.

Did you read Ken's announcement? I guess not.

Speaking of Ken:

Hey Ken,

Thanks for your kindness, it means a lot.

This should probably go in the Guitar forum... it's a newer user talking about his experience with a specific brand of guitar.

Got em all, thanks guys.

Might I ask why my (atreyu_breakingbenjamin) account was disabled?


EDIT: NVM I changed my email, thats why.

I don't see any problems on our end with the account. It is in the proper usergroup options and isnt on the ban list that I saw.

I forgot that when I changed my email i had to reactivate the account.
