[QUOTE=zepfan]Eh, it's being kicked up a notch. No doubt my mood plays a part as well in noticing it, but especially in pop-punk it's almost a war right now, and it's just frustrating because I support the efforts, but at the same time I want it to remain fun, and too many people are polarizing the two.[/QUOTE]

Well I was just thinking around the fact that you're still really a new member. Not brand new, and you've been here long enough to be a "proper" member, but although you have 10,000 posts, you've still only been here just over half a year. Maybe it's just that your initial 'fascination' (which undoubtedly puts kind of a rosy sheen on everything) with the place is wearing off somewhat :)

The influx of work you've had recently can't be helping, though.

Now I am too intimidated to post. :/

Why?

[QUOTE=MXican]You are absolutely correct IAJP[/QUOTE]
Thanks.
Surely, by pure logic alone, if we all try, that's TRY, at least, to make more productive posts then surely the forum will improve?
Only just then after re-reading your "Make R&M a better place, thread", I was inspired to create a thread about a band I liked.
But not in the old "Do you like these guys" sense, a little inspiration is all anyone needs, heh :p

Eh, That's somewhat true, and I've been in R&M less time too. I have to say I think it is a combination of both though. No, my workload is not helping though, that's for sure.

Jelle: Quiet you. :)

It should be a compliment to! A very good thread there, I read it through a couple of times myself, I am inspired..

And yes, my MSN is down also :evil:

(From Bartenders post a few posts back)

I have only been here for two months, according to this username....

But believe it or not, I have been here longer than quite alot of people think. I just rarely posted because my 56K internet connection disconnected a lot of the time.
I just made a new username now that i have a new PC, and broadband.... (Larsagi007)!

Wow. That automatically makes you not a n00b :rolleyes:

Hey, MXican, I made a little contribution to your thread. Good goin', by the way.

ya my frigin msn is down too..

Yes, but you have 37 posts?
And anyway, get them merged?

[QUOTE=ICB]Wow. That automatically makes you not a n00b :rolleyes:

Hey, MXican, I made a little contribution to your thread. Good goin', by the way.[/QUOTE]

Yes, i guess it does mean I am not a N00b, But I have never really argued against anyone calling be a N00b because its not a thing that really gets to me, I just look at there join date and chuckle :naughty:

Yes, i have tried getting my acount's merged, I have posts i would like to get added onto my current MX account, However Double_Bass_Jim, said it is not really worth doing just for 38 posts...

What's with the excessive use of irrelevant smileys, dude?

[QUOTE=ICB]What's with the excessive use of irrelevant smileys, dude?[/QUOTE]

I don't know, i could really do with stopping that, I have been getting told since i was 12 years old to stop posting stupid smilies, and saying lol at the end of every sentance also lol <(See!)

Post people think that i could never really be a mod, the truth is i would never wan't to be one, i think the mods are doing a great job at the moment anyway though.
I was accually a moderator at the age of 12 on a file sharing program called Aimster, and I also became a webmaster of a website created by users for uses, consisting of tutorials ect:, I also made a large variety of skins for Aimster, Was rather interesting... I originally told the owner of Aimster of was 23, It wouldn't of gone down to well if he found out i was 12 at the time!!
A few users that i used to speak to commanly on Aimsters site that were interested in music were Jred250, Lord_Nexus, TexThrock, JoviGirl, SharringGoddess, Phonicaholic, And Phoenix_Fire, Not sure if you reconise these usernames, but i think they may have been users of MX at one point..

I know that I for one could never become a mod.
It's not something I think about that much though, to be honest.

Well, I disagree, I think (almost) Anyone can become a mod, from what i have seen of you, your very mature, and a sensible poster, But if anyone want's to be a mod its just a case of setting your mind to it... I must say its alot more fun trying to become a mod, than accually being one! (From my perspective that is)

Thanks.
By the way, that's the first time I've been called mature for a long time, I'm only 15 anyway, but I usually act very imature. I've been a mod on another forum, but the forum wasn't as good as this one, heh.
And with that, I'm out.
Nice talking to you all.:)

I don't really judge people by their age, I think really its a case of, Your either Mature or Not, I know 15 year olds that are somewhat mature. yet i know 37 year olds that are definatly NOT mature... Its all in the way they are brought up, and just there general personallity i think.

I am acting very immature at the moment because my CD player is refusing to play Apacalyptica Grrr!
I wouldn't mind but for once the CD is accually spotless!

I hope not a lot of stuff that the professors lectured on in my classes today are on their finals because I didn't really take notes...

[QUOTE=ICB]Just pretend you're smart and philosophical or whatever. :p.[/QUOTE]

To be or not to be? That is the question.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]To be or not to be? That is the question.[/QUOTE]

Ah, you'll progress. Smartass.

What did you mean about being too intimidated to post, before? :-/

I just feel that anything I post is going to be evaluated and judged for signifigance.

Wow, I now have a broadband connection at last, this is brilliant. Not so exciting for you guys maybe, but I've been on dial up for ages. I'm now going to go and download everything in the "Request YSI" thread.

[QUOTE=circlethedrain]1st page .. yeah[/QUOTE]

A good example of what posts in here shold NOT be like.

I just tried uploading and it said the upload was blocked . Anybody know why this is happening"

NP: Emperor - An Elegy Of Icaros

Emperor, huh? I was listening to some Satyricon a while back...

Bobo sent me a bunch of metal mp3s, because I didn't know anything about the genre. I like what he sent.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I just feel that anything I post is going to be evaluated and judged for signifigance.[/QUOTE]

Oh. Well it's not :) Just don't post pointlessly if you have nothing to actually talk about.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Oh. Well it's not :) Just don't post pointlessly if you have nothing to actually talk about.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough. I just don't want to be part of the downfall of the R and M community empire.

I wouldn't worry about it. What did Bobo send you other than Emperor and Marduk?

Anyway, now, my sister is kicking me off the computer for the first time in forever, so I'm off for a while. See you all later.

See ya later :wave:

He also sent Darkthrone, Satyricon, and Dimmu Borgir.

Good evening all.

Some of you may remember the whole deal with my brother's leg, which I told ya'll about. Well, he had his major operation today. It went fine, but he's taking longer waking up from the anisthetic than they thought he would.

NP: Leonard Cohen - Story of Isaac

Has anybody in here heard any stuff by Bill Hicks? For those who haven't he is a comedian who REALLY pushes the censorship lines, and is credited to by many rock bands (such as Tool). I can't find a single person in my school who listens to him.

I've got a few mp3s of his.

Heh, people were talking about him a few pages ago.

I also don't know why everyone is bitching about bitching just to bitch... or why people have to reconsider what they post. Nine times out of ten discussion can be created from a sentence, but it's the following type of conversation that gets annoying:

You're gay
oic
no u
nou
1. Shut up
2. Please
1. no
2. u

... and so on.

But really, there is no reason to re-evaluate your posts. If they're quality, you should know they are... but you should also know when you're posting just for the sake of posting and trying to get to a milestone post count or something. You should be your own impartial judge, and you should be able to distinguish spam from quality discussion, yes?

I am going back outside, it's too nice out. That, and my roommate is blasting Dashboard again.

I should upload some of these Bill Hicks mp3s. They are hilarious, I never really listened to them before.
