01.14.11 | let's save some puns for another time. |
Ire
01.14.11 | why are you knott realizing that these knott jokes are gay |
Defeater
01.14.11 | "This site has gone downhill quick."
First of all it's "quickly" not "quick" and second of all the site hasn't changed at all. Maybe your perceptions of what you thought the site was, but nothing more. |
Satellite
01.14.11 | i think of this site the same way i think of the island on lost: my idea of what it is and what makes it tick is unclear and constantly changing, but i like the people on it. |
Defeater
01.14.11 | It's kind of funny the biggest gripers in this whole thing haven't really contributed anything to the site. |
Satellite
01.14.11 | haha i have no writing classes this semester for the first time fucking ever, so i'll (finally) unleash some reviews on this site soon. |
Knott-
01.14.11 | a lot of people that have think similar (not identical) things but just know talking about it fixes shit all. |

01.14.11 | "haha i have no writing classes this semester for the first time fucking ever, so i'll (finally) unleash some reviews on this site soon."
Yeah I have to write 30 pages for just one class this semester, but I think I'll get back in the groove and throw some reviews back up and stop the stagnation among the daily posters. |
Satellite
01.14.11 | before i was like, "heh, i've got 9 fucking credit hours of writing classes. i'll write reviews in my spare time!" and then it was just like fuck it i'm gonna get drunk and embarrass myself in public instead. |
Douglas
01.14.11 | I am no gripper, it's just changed a lot lately.
I have also contributed my fair share I'd say, nearly 60 odd reviews. |

01.14.11 | "sorta like the 1 review staff member"
I don't know the politics around here and I have no idea who this is in reference to but I can tell you that if an employee doesn't pull his/her weight he/she gets fired. If you don't find a staffer valuable but the people paying him do then you aren't looking in the right places.
Chambered if your leaving because things in your life have changed then good luck in the future and I'm sorry I don't know you better but if you're leaving because your disgruntled this isn't the classiest way to handle it imho. |

01.14.11 | so youre so pissed knott wasnt staffed that youre gonna stop posting forever good plan |

Inveigh
01.14.11 | i've been nodding in agreement with pretty much every one of Satty's posts in here
and regarding the one review staff member, which I know basically nothing about, isn't it possible that this person is a very accomplished writer who's been doing it a long time, and possibly reviewing music for awhile -- just not on sputnik? jesus christ... |

01.14.11 | chambered are you just mad that you didn't get promoted
bc you weren't even considered bro |

yeah I brought up judo again |

Inveigh
01.14.11 | not sure if that was meant as a shot or not Sea, but... my comments weren't directed at anyone who did or didn't get the position they wanted (in fact, in the blog thread I think I mentioned that you and Knott specifically were both deserving), I just think the unnecessary anger directed at and about the new staffers from outside Sputnik is pretty misguided. |
Slum

01.14.11 | @omni that reminds me when I put mashed up jalapeno peppers in my friend's bag of chips while he was in the bathroom. He came out, ate some, freaked out and gulped down his coke... to find out I put the peppers in there too. He spit up so bad you would think we had a water balloon fight. He spent 2 hours in the bathroom and then came out and told me he was allergic to peppers |
Kimm
01.14.11 | PITY PARTY! |
omnipanzer
01.14.11 | Oops,
That'll teach him for being allergic |
SeaAnemone
01.14.11 | haha no no I assure you it wasn't meant as a shot at you Inveigh :) In fact, you've brought up a lot of good points about this thing... and trust me, I'm not taking it too heavily. I mean there's a few things that do bother me about it, but I mean Jesus Christ it's a hobby for me, at the most haha. I talked to Adam Thomas for a while about it yesterday and he had a lot to explain (even though what he says and the mods and other staff have said have been pretty different, in many cases about this), and I understand the move a little more now.
Trust me, I'm not taking this personally lol, I literally wasn't even close to being considered.
And I don't think ANYONE has directed any anger towards the new staffers, that would be ridiculous : (
I mean from what I've seen the move to staff them seems reeeaaally odd considering their work, taste, etc. but I know the staff/mods have put a lot of thought into this and they know more about the candidates than I do. I'm curious to see how the experiment turns out, really.
The only thing that bothers me personally a little about this is that in some ways it turns the whole "community-driven" thing upside down, and in turn I think it dissuades a lot of people from working their way up the ladder within Sputnik, because that ladder has been shown to be a dead end in some ways, and that there's an express ladder that's much much easier to climb if you can even call it that lol.
But yeah, just my thoughts on the subject, no hostility guys :) I'm done talking/thinking about it now. |
PuddlesPuddles
01.14.11 | I didn't even have to read that thread. I read JViney's Gorillaz review and figured sputnik hired outside staff for a fresh perspective and honestly, I liked the idea from the get go. As I understand, they didn't TAKE anyone's spot, they're in ADDITION |
Inveigh
01.14.11 | yeah i didn't mean you had directed anger towards them Sea, and I guess that was the wrong way to put it. more that people were making assumptions about how the decision was made, without any real insight into the situation (not claiming i have said insight, just that it seemed premature). I do agree somewhat with a lot of the things being said about this discouraging people from working their way up the ladder, but shit, if that's just the way the world works. anyone who doesn't understand that certainly will be in for a rude awakening when (or if, I suppose) they begin professional lives. |

BigHans
01.14.11 | Yeah sometimes I forget that most of these people are high schoolers or still in college.
Example, this is the shit that can happen to you in your late 20's-early 30's.
The following has either happened to me or people very close to me in the past two years
1. Divorce
2. Bankruptcy
3. Home Foreclosure
4. Job Lay-offs
5. Death of a 3 month old son
6. Death of Parents/Grandparents
7. Major health problems diagnosis
In other words, STFU about being snubbed on the internet. |
