08.28.13 | I know we want to have fun but trolling isn't fun for observers or victims. Seriously guys, can't we just switch back to back-handed compliments and sarcasm? Those at least can be appreciated by a bigger audience. |

Solaire
08.28.13 | LocustGrove... I didn't steal the idea that I think this website is losing quality because users and just blatantly making alts to target other people. Also, see my response to sixdegrees on the matter.
I've been reading reviews for half a year, at least. The quality has dropped since then (not so much the reviewers, but the commenters). Off-topic discussion can be amusing, but you know exactly what I am talking about. |
FreddieTheHorse
08.28.13 | I guess I need to be on more,but you get the point :P |

08.28.13 | Yeah. Even a casual user would notice an increase lately. Which means that serious users might get fed up if they see it 24-7. |

Solaire
08.28.13 | I'll admit sometimes I can be elitist myself, but I don't neg any review based on the rating towards the band, but how well the review itself matches the rating and the quality in overall writing.
If you gave a 5 to Blood on the Dance Floor (whom I despise) and was able to portray your love of it and certain qualities to the point that I can understand your view and even appreciate some of the examples, that is a good written review. |

People every year make a list like this, asking this same question... and I don't say that to patronise you, but to let you know that stuff like this historically comes in phases and it'll too pass.
Whether or not Sputnik's traffic or credibility is dying, that's another question entirely, and yeah, probably. |

Does that mean it's gone to shit because they decide to write reviews on a music site. Just as you think in your head that grandpa is a prick when he drops the 'when I was your age' nonsense.

Waior
08.28.13 | Buttery... you saying "but the whole old school clique on this website is pathetic" was you singling out Sputnik for it. It'd
be good to be less broad if you don't want people to assume that what you said is what you actually meant.
Of course people younger than me will discover the site. I never said it's gone to shit, you can quote me on it. I'm not here
often enough to know about that... I said that 2008 was a good year and that I don't recognise the people in this thread.
I'm glad there are new users here, because the site would actually be dead if they weren't. Doesn't mean I don't want to be
nostalgic. |

08.28.13 | The only thing I can complain about is that there is rarely ever talk about actual music these days. It's been like that for the past 2 or 3 years now.

crowing51
08.28.13 | Well it took me a year and a half to join Sputnik on the sheer fact I thought I wouldn't be able to stand the trolls. So I just lurked the lists an read review. Though even still the mass fucking of trolls usually do come in phases then disappear for a few months.
Like all the trolls that shit porn bombed every thread possible an the only place to hide was here in a list.
Still Sputnik is a great source for music an at the end of the day everyone will be here for that very reason. So don't get discouraged on the dumb negs and pointless trolling because there are still good users who will use the site for what's it's made for.
TL:DR?
Well...... RIP dryden[2] |

08.28.13 | Comments and reviews from 2006 are the most terrible thing ever though, it's just awkward. Ranked list and annoying new users have been around for ever too, and because they have become so stereotypically Sputnik they have gotten kinda funny |
DANcore
08.28.13 | Many users don't actually come to this site to discuss music; they just want to assert their superiority over people with "lesser" tastes and interests. It always makes me laugh to read some of the comments on this site, because it really becomes a power struggle among those who feel they are intellectually superior to other people and their respective opinions. That is why the site is seeing so much "trolling," because users that try to be serious are put down if their taste doesn't match up with that of the sputnik elite.
At least that's how I see it. |
ZilbelPing
08.28.13 | "Comments and reviews from 2006 are the most terrible thing ever though, it's just awkward."

ResidentNihilist
08.28.13 | Many users don't actually come to this site to discuss music; they just want to assert their superiority over people with "lesser" tastes and interests. It always makes me laugh to read some of the comments on this site, because it really becomes a power struggle among those who feel they are intellectually superior to other people and their respective opinions. That is why the site is seeing so much "trolling," because users that try to be serious are put down if their taste doesn't match up with that of the sputnik elite.
There's some truth to this statement even though it's not half as pervasive as beforehand. I think a lot of the old timers forget that one of the best things that's happened in the last few years on Sputnik is that's it's mellowed out and become just a tad more accepting. Sure there's still the cliques, hive mind etc. but the site has opened up and despite the trolling that's only a good thing. |

08.28.13 | The cliques and hive mind stuff isn't even half as annoying as the "youtube" mentality that a lot of users have. You say one thing and it's a bunch of bullshit, as if people have time for that. The thing with the older and more "pretentious" users, is once you get past the grumpy exterior, they will point you toward the best fucking music you've ever heard. |

02.12.14 | the reviews are worse than the lists for the most part tbh |

Calc
02.12.14 | i wish i read more reviews but everybody reviews the exact same way except for like 7-8 people. and that way barely describes what the music sounds like which is why I'm reading them in the first place. |
Emyay

exactly, I used to actually ask reviewers about it but then their bros all come in and make everything not worth it. Now I mostly find music on this site from recs and album arts, pretty sad. |
emester
02.12.14 | The community's hit or miss sometimes but its pretty damn good overall. The site has really helped me out a lot. |

MrSirLordGentleman
02.12.14 | Depends on which part of the community you look at... the 70's community and/or the prog community are awesome |

02.13.14 | Site's fine, if you have a bad time here you need to talk with the cooler nigs instead |
joshieboy
02.13.14 | You just don't talk to the right people. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
02.13.14 | its the same as it always was |
TMobotron
02.13.14 | I hear people talk about sputnik being dead, or a decline in quality, etc. etc.
IDK, maybe that's true, maybe it isn't. But I do know that there are still great people here. Form a niche of people you like, pay attention to them, share music with them, etc. and contribute good stuff otherwise. Sputnik is only as good as you make it. Make friends you can rely on, and do your best to make this site fun otherwise.
I really believe a major reason that there could be bad users is people taking that stupid faux-high-ground and thinking they are superior to the site. Just be fun, contribute, be a good user. That's all you can do and what you should do. |

02.13.14 | Site hasn't been the same since Mookid left [4] |

02.13.14 | I'm convinced we just need more KRS-One reviews |
Deviant.
02.13.14 | This site is what you make of it. Every community contains idiots, but the irony is that you (the universal "you", mind you) entertain their behaviour, and then moan that "that the site ain't what it used to be fellas". Personally, I feel that it doesn't help that everyone treats this place like their own personal facebook, but what are you gonna do? |
ScuroFantasma
02.13.14 | I think this site is great, the community and users are diverse in taste and age and the majority of reviewers are excellent. |

02.13.14 | I may be new, but Sputnik seems like a thriving community to me. It serves it's purpose in my life, and I have no complaints. |
LambsBread
02.14.14 | When you really stop and think about it, the site is fucking amazing. You are getting musical advice from people on the other side of the planet. 50 years ago you would have never heard a word from these people, they wouldn't even exist in your mind, today you are sharing music with them on a daily basis. and Even though most users don't like me, I like the userbase here, I only wish there was ten more users or so who are really into classic hip hop.
All in all though this is my favorite website of all time |

Give it time, you'll realize how shitty some idiots are around here in a few |

02.14.14 | Dev and Hillary speaking truth in the same thread, whoa
This site is fantastic, I love reviewing, reading reviews, and keeping up to date with new music. |
BlackLlama
02.14.14 | Certain types of music get a lot more traffic around here. It's like a middle school cafeteria sometimes. The metal kids all hang out together, the pop fans congregate elsewhere. There's some inter-mingling but usually everyone has their own "table" to sit at. |
LambsBread
02.14.14 | " It's like a middle school cafeteria sometimes." hah yeah the way people insult each other also reminds me of middle school |
Ovrot
02.14.14 | yeah lambs you dirty fag

02.15.14 | How the fuck is this back on the first page? This shit is pretty old considering I hadn't meet the girl that was my valentine this year. |
Solaire
02.15.14 | Oh god. Considering the rise of reaction pictures and the overall shit quality of
them... Sputnik will actually just die and become 9gag or some shit. |
