[QUOTE=billiejoe84]I often think I'd like to post in R&M as a lot of bands I like are discussed there. However, I tend to find most non-pop-punkers hate Green Day, and my username does kind of mark me out as a fan. So I tend to get, 'Well you like Green Day, phag, so get out of our Velvet Revolver thread' or something. As if liking Green Day forbids me from liking any other sort of music.


I get this far worse in Punk though, to be fair.[/QUOTE]
Thats why my username is an unobvious blink182 link :p

Again, there are a lot of idiots in R&M. Just ignore them; hell, I have to bite the bullet when I'm bitching at people just to see them get riled up. I'm not being serious, yet they think I am, so they go on this paragraphs-upon-paragraphs tirade, and I think, "Man, you're a dumbass for thinking that I'm being serious. Way to waste your time, idiot." You can see where I think this is humorous for me, heh.

But yeah, it really sucks that people think that R&M is full of douchebags sometimes, but look at it this way:

If people are insulting you based on your username, that just shows that they're picking a fight for no reason. "Oh man, your username has a pop-punk first name in it, you must be a fa[font=]ggot![/font]" I mean, seriously. It'd be one thing if you posted like a retard, but I don't think you would. People pick fights there just to pick fights for blatantly stupid reasons.

In short: if you get jabbed at because of your username, ignore whoever's talking. If they have to argue at you over your username, they're just moronic. Hakuna matata.

Besides, I still get comments about my username too. :)

This forum is more welcoming than R&M though, I will agree with that for sure. R&M has many great posters, but there's a ton of idiots there too. Not many idiots come here, and the ones that do hide out in the official threads, so it's easy to avoid. The regs are the ones who post in the threads in the forum proper, and they're good kids.

/me catches up a bit

Good points well made there, sir. It's only really a problem (I've had this a few times in the Pit) when the first reply is a relatively well-established poster making comments like that, and then all the n00bs who want respect from established posters are only too happy to follow suit to try and look cool. I hate it when that happens.

I post in rock and metal whenever I can more for trying to educate people when their is a thread relating to punk or similar. Mainly I just find that the people here are really nice so I post here. Hey, I don't even really like much pop punk.

Bah, i wish there was a connection limit on soulseak to stop slow users, i want music NOW, not in 6 million hours.

I wanna finish downloading what i am before i go bed, and i have 1 file out of 12 :(

Understood.

But first, look at the forum you're citing: The Pit. There are little kids there that try to suck older kids' shlongs so that they think they're looked as "cool." This is evidenced by those kids quoting all most all of the "established posters'" posts with a single :lol:.

I really don't think that you need to prove yourself to people like that. You prove yourself to people by not being a dumbass, being kind to others, using spelling and grammar, helping the forums, the list goes on. Trying to get e-fellatio from the "well-established posters" in The Pit is just a waste of time, heh. I don't respect any of The Pit's four-starred users, I don't think. Of course, I could be forgetting a few names.

I mean, you do have an excellent point: n00bs want to look like they're cool. But again, it's The Pit. It's impossible to use "well-established" and "respected" in the same breath when describing some of the people there. That place sucks a vast majority of the time. But that's why I really dig Strum's modding of it.

Man...my randomizer is on a Yes kick. I just listened to The Yes Album, and now Fragile just came on.

This is definately the nicest forum on MX, but sometimes people just have to snap. For example, if you dont read the Blink 182 thread for a week, when you return you'll notice countless stories, and talk about other bands, a lack of grammar, the repetitiveness of things discussed, and generally the total nonsense from most of the regs.

[QUOTE=Jom]That place sucks a vast majority of the time.[/QUOTE]


Well, this is why I don't go on there anymore. A while ago, if it was slow on Pop-Punk I used to go in the Pit to see if there was anything interesting going on. Then I realised I was wasting my time.


Hey, does anyone know why the YSI thread got closed?


NP - Blink 182 - Carousel (Live). Hoo yeah.

Because other forums have been shutdown because of threads like them or something.

The Blink-182 thread used to be great when the regs where like Me, James, Kif, Seth, Ste, etc.

Whenever I see somebody on there with a connection speed of 1.4 and 5000 files, you've got to wonder how much patience they have.

Unless they own that much...I probably own 4000 of the songs I have on mine...

Hello everybody. I see somebody has the same avatar as ChodaBoy.

I've got dial up and around 4,000 songs. But most of them are just me ripping CDs to put on my iPod.

Evening, sir.

That was me last week but without that amount of files because they would have fitted on my then 13 gig hard drive. My connection speed is now 2.8 :smoke:

Ugh, the clean vox in As I Lay Dying sound like poo.

What the...
WHY THE HELL IS THE YSI THREAD CLOSED?!

On another note;
Evening all!

So today was pretty much the shi[i][u][/i][/u]ttiest day ever.

I'm exhausted so I'm going to bed.

It's not allowed anymore. It's kind of illegal.

There's a soulseek/AIM thread instead.

Kind of? I think you mean completely.


For once, I'm about to go to bed sober. This feels wrong...

Simple: request stuff on here, but then take it to AIM/MSN/e-mail.

What I've been doing is watching out for requests, asking people for their e-mail, and then uploading whatever it is they want on YSI. I then just e-mail them the link :)

Account merge++ (I think), heh.

I like how Jom posts here. It's good having two rock and metal post whores on at the same time.

Who are you calling a post whore? :mad:

So the ASU/LSU game is soooo close. We better win :(

I'm also totally uninspired to keep writing my letter back to Gaby, and I feel bad because she wrote me 4 pages and I've written 1/2 page.

No one. By post whore I mean valuable member of the rock and metal community.

Well, if you're struggling for filler, write pages of kisses, or failing that write inane babble. Women like that. I had a text message conversation with my lady interest last night which lasted over two hours, which was mostly about the fact that there was a daddy longlegs in her room, and how she might accidentally eat it in her sleep if she didn't do something about it. I gave expert manly advice, of course.


Failing that, just be really smutty, and/or innuendo-laden.

I don't really want to write filler either though, I think that's why I'm struggling. I can write a 5 page essay full of BS no problem, but I think I'd feel bad writing a bunch of BS to fill up pages for her. You can talk about the most inane (for lack of a better word) things with girls forever though, it's crazy. Looking back you're wondering what you talked about for the last few hours, and it's usually nothing of great import heh.

Well, yeah, that was my point... If I can waste two hours worth of text messages on how to trap an insect in a pint glass, something must be a bit wierd.


However, it's good if you can talk to someone that much... shows that there's a connection there, I suppose. Beats sitting in silence not knowing what to say, I guess (which I have had before with lady friends - awkward silences are one of my least favourite things in the world).
