My reasoning was thus:
I could post refuting Chris' sillt post about his right to smoke, and we could go back and forth until the thread was entirely derailed and then close it, or I could skip a step and just close it.

Mind, if that second page had discussed anything related to the band alright but meh, it seemed a lost cause. Make a new one if you want.

Well, honestly, though, who really cares if the thread goes off topic? I mean this forum is slow as is and the whole point of online forums is to generate discussion to pass the time and keep from being bored. All the threads in here are pretty much:

Hey, do you guys like [band]?
Yes, they rule! [possibly 20 times]
^ 123

or

Hey, do you guys like [band]?
No, they suck! [possibly 20 times]
^ 123

I get your point and I agree but still...

oh how you guys would want the epic battle thread NOW bwahahah!

I agree and it wasn't so much that it was off topic but more that I figured it would result in lots of pointless flaming and arguing so I closed it *shrug*

I'm fine with offtopic as long as it's not silly arguing.

There used to be a few awesome threads around here.

ie. Forced Listening.

I think we even had some kind of formal debate threads where like three or 4 people would join each side on an issue. I wasn't ever a part of it, but I seem to remember it being cool.

Unfortunately, a lot of stuff like that probably wouldn't work anymore. The only threads that seem to generate any interest at all are off-topic.

I'll be lucky if I get more than 5 entries for the Pop Punk Music Comp and that has 2 months to get put together so yeh =|

Yeah, I know. Pop-punk is so dead right now. :-\

Most of the regulars have outgrown pop punk so there isn't much incentive for discussion and the influx of new posters is very minimal. Not sure what if anything can be done about it.

and also most new pop punk bands suck dick

[QUOTE=Eliminator;14814151]and also most new pop punk bands suck dick[/QUOTE]

Correct.

I think most people just think they outgrow music because they feel like they need to be more mature.

open my thread V. whip crack.

If I do I'll delete the majority of posts you might as well make a new one =|

Or maybe they just actually mature?

I liked The Spice Girls when I was eight am i just pretending to mature when i don't like them now?

Anyone who pretends not to like the Spice Girls is obviously putting up a front.

Word man. I totally understand and completely agree, then. :D

Tr00f. The last of the good pop-punk bands all formed in the 80s and 90s.

i am planning on putting on a top 100 pop punk songs comp after my miserable failure of the music comp, thoughts?

would be interesting to see how it goes

Might as well. What's the worst that could happen?

I'm pretty sure this is the worst that could happen.

Haha I forgot we even did one before. I tend to forget really bad things no one wants to remember though ^_^

idk that list has some really good songs and i can see why that tbs song is top considering its one of the most famous actually good pop punk songs of all time

way too much BN

this time only one song for each band imo

well im going to make a strong suggestion that there's only one song per band per person during noms but i mean if you really hav 2 favs from a band i'm not going to say no, you know?
