Man, i'm pissed now, i spent the time uploading the albums and doing it, now i can't put it up because i'm a few minutes too slow.

I'll wait a week.

Well usually FAs stay up for about a fortnight to a month...

The rule was a week...

I think my Alkaline Trio was up for a week, then Spence's NoFx one went up...

A week seems like enough. Everyone will get to see it by the time a week is up, and even if it is unstickied after that, that doesn't mean it's going to fall off the first page necessarily.

Exatcly, it can still be discussed in after if people so wish to.

Oh, now we have a mod who can do stuff, I think this needs to be put either in the Important Links section, or as a seperate post in the Rules somewhere:

[url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=327962]Vince's "How to make a good "band thread""[/url]

It's already in there. It's the third link.

In other news I'm running FAs now, so start emailing me, I think I'm going to make it one every two weeks if we can get enough writers, if not, once a month. Start making requests though so I can get a feel for the availability of them, thanks.

Yep. It's in the rules now. :thumb:

And Dan, what band were you making a profile for?

Since the Blink 182 thread isn't exactly used for talk about the band anymore, Would it not be a good idea to close it, then when there is something significant to talk about, open it up again?

Recent topics in there are about random bands, and guitars people use.

I absolutely agree with this. There is no real Blink discussion going on anymore. And then when someone like Kif comments that the thread is, in fact, supposed to be used to discuss Blink-182 and all related side projects, you get responses like the one from letter bomb on the last page.

Alright, closed.

Sadly, this means that

A) No real Blink talk will go on for a while, which has it's advantages I suppose.
B) All the [size=2]fu[/size]cktards from that thread will be making new threads and going into decent threads where people use English and not Moron language.

I'll probably open it back up after a while

Then Spence will have to start issuing the banhammer liberally.

As it is I think more music related discussion occures in the discussion thread than most of the "official" threads.

Descendents !

I did a descendents band profile recently for punk

some people are f'ucking cun'ts, they make threads to ask questions

close/delete and ban: 'the why has the blink thread been closed guy?'*


*sorry i didn't link it, my copy and paste seems to have gone nuts and it's not allowing me to do it

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with the closing of the blink thread. First of all, the discussion about other bands was started by somebody who posted covers of blink that his band had done. So then some people started posting bands that they either thought sounded like blink, or got into because of blink in some way. The guitar discussion started with the discussion of Tom's guitars and why we would or would not want one of them.

Considering that there is nothing going on with the band right now, and it's anyone's guess as to whether or not there will be, I don't see how this qualifies as being "off topic". We eventually always got back to discussing the band or it's members anyways, no matter what we talked about. I don't see what the problem was, and I don't see why anyone felt the need to complain, let alone close the thread.

But if people are discussing other things in the Blink thread, then it kind of defeats the purpose of having a Blink thread. :-/

Not really, everything in there was at least some way related to the band or it's members. Some of it was off topic and yeah, we had morons who would simply spam away, but the majority of us kept everything blink related.

Just look what's happening now that the thread is closed, there are like 5 separate threads relating to blink on the first page, and there will probably be more. I doubt that would have happened if the thread was still open.

You have a point. I'll probably end up opening it back up.

Thank you.

How about this, if anyone discusses non - Blink subjects in their, they get a week ban ?

Sounds good :thumb:

Yeah I was thinking something along the lines of that.

Same goes for the Green Day thread too.

Yeah, let's kill the mindless spanners !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh.....just ban them for a decent amount of time.....either way...:shrugs:

It doesn't matter if it drifts slightly off topic, but when it turns into another discussion thread, that defies the point of it.

A lot of people would bt lost without that thread....

Leave our greenday thread alone :evil:
