If Steerpike's running it, then does anyone know his AIM or email?

Yes. Alex's AIM= DownToTheDevil last I checked

[QUOTE=Flash And Dash]He is now? I thought it was Med[/QUOTE]

Med is in charge of the Featured Artists - there really was nobody to cover the FGs, but thankfully Steerpike picked it up.

Aye Mods! How about we reopen that dicussion of elitism?

To be honest, it went from discussion of elitism to people taking sides and bitching at each other. That kind of crap drags the community down as a whole.

It's not healthy discussion to have, especially when people are being bitchy with one another. It's not good for the forum as a whole.

Actually the conversation went from elitism to bitching at each other to Pat Methany and kelly Clarkson. It was actually semi-civil towards the end.

2nd day back and already theres the retarded bull**** of MX going on...


What i don't like is having stuffed down my throat "You don't have to like them but at least respect them and be civil". I mean what I say and I say what I mean.

It was some discussion that I don't recall seeing once before.

Oh well.

Look, I don't care for the Black Metal genre as much as the next shmuck, but getting on its fan's asses by asking if they think anybody takes them seriously isn't needed. I've never had a problem with any of them, really, because they haven't tried to cause problems for the forum, so I don't want any dissention going on that isn't needed. R&M doesn't need another bitchfit, or Dargon returning to pretend to troll, or whatever.

i'm offline for some hours and then this.

when i read the first post by ICB it was one of the best things i've read recently on MX. too many ppl thinks that when they listen to band x they are more true.. wow.
but afterwards it started to be a spamfest .. lol.

c'mon guys; you are pissed off cause of some immuture elitist and you behave the same. ignore them.

Indeed. It's just a war. An epic war.

As for ignoring. We've got an ignore feature on the forum! I prefer not to ignore anyone, so I can flame them if I wish. :)

i meant ignoring in the form of not responding, not the forum-feature ;)

This might be very off-topic and unneccessary, but I haven't been too up-to-date with MXLand recently, what happened to your modship?

Thanks, man...I hoped it didn't suck. :p I didn't mean for the whole thing to become a flame-war...but it just gets under my skin how shallow, narrow-minded and ignorant some people could be. Maybe I was being ignorant as well, but oh well. I tried to contribute something to the forum, rather than spam. Looks like I failed.

[QUOTE]Shallow, narrow-minded and ignorant some people could be.[/QUOTE] The thing is, those people are just like whoever they're insulting. Both sides aren't serious. I doubt in the MX room 20% of everything said is meant seriously.

In a nutshell, I pissed off mx.

At the time I felt that he didn't give a shi[font=verdana]t[/font] about the forums (because of the hackings and overall apathetic vibe at the time) and was becoming obsessed with expanding his Sputnikmusic empire.

So I swore like an idiot and said he should just shut down the forums if he's just going to let the hackers and other crappy stuff that went on continue without doing anything about it. I wrote a lot of questionable adjectives.

It wasn't pleasant or the smartest thing to do, but I was able to get Wintermute added as a co-admin, seeing as how DBJ doesn't do jack around here anymore. And then some other stuff.

I might be back if they need me, but for now, 'sources' tell me that there are still hurt feelings so I'm basically serving my probation and promising not to swear so much when I think he's not paying attention to the forums.

It's not like I need to anymore, though, because he's starting to take care of the forums for a bit since then.

Wow, drama drama drama.

There's something wrong with my browser, I'm using Firefox with the No Script thing and now when I look at MX there is no avators, and this is what the main page looks like, nothing taking me to the last post or anything.

No that's all turned on.

A nice ban would be good. SexyMuffin has been trolling that thread and a few others in R&M recently. I recall this poster being troll banned in Site Forum quite a few times.

So people don't believe in preventing problems anymore, we just care about cleanup?

Says the one who constantly spams then has the responce "R&M needs some lightening up".

If mods see a problem, they'll close it.

Thanks for informing me. I now know to say out of this thread, unless I have problems/ideas/questions for a Moderator in this sub forum of the sputnikempire.

Nah, you don't need to stay out, but you need to know when and when not to reports problem threads. Besides the fact that the thread's strange or weird, doesn't render it a problem. Things get too strict when we report a thread just because it's weird or out of the norm.

We're aloud to have a little fun from time-to-time.
