Calc 08.06.17	this music video/song though, ace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quGdGmBWCN0
Asdfp277 08.06.17	2/5
Papa Universe 08.06.17	I've started using this website fully around April last year and not a lot has changed since then. I like it, because the community is quite contempt and it has its own mentality and the atmosphere here is humorously lightweight.
SandwichBubble 08.06.17	Terrible site, don't use it @UniqueUniverse contempt?
butcherboy 08.06.17	everyone on this site is like Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down.. so pretty good..
Papa Universe 08.06.17	Wait, what the fuck am I talking about? Not contempt, content. Yeesh.
SandwichBubble 08.06.17	Contempt also works
Papa Universe 08.06.17	..yeah, I guess it does...
Asdfp277 08.06.17	i hold contempt for all of you
Asdfp277 08.06.17	also, check jessie ware's latest song
Rik VII 08.06.17	The site itself is terrible, thinking of the server crashs, the band genre tags etc. The community is rather inconsistent imo - there's just as many narrow-minded people as the opposite, but you don't have to interact with any of the former so I don't mind them as much (basically just try to avoid political threads yo, that's about it), so yeah, the good side of the community is what keeps me here. RYM > as a site, take that
Asdfp277 08.06.17	rym sucks, 0.5/5
rodrigo90 08.06.17	The webmaster(s) is/are as lazy as fuck. But I like the community as a whole. First time I join a group of music nerds in my life.
Rik VII 08.06.17	RYM community sucks and there is no satisfying possibility to efficiently interact with anyone, but come on, the site's servers aren't the most fragile on the internet, there are genre tags for individual albums and the profile has more options. There is no way sputnik is superior. But like I said, as a website.
rodrigo90 08.06.17	I like how many of the users reminds me of Sheldon Cooper but in a less annoying way
Papa Universe 08.06.17	If we could somehow combine Sputnik's community and RYM's servers'n'shit...
Rik VII 08.06.17	This site is over-trolled, too. I mean, I like my share of good trolls, but most on here are just boring and unfunny. A few gems here and there but come on, you can do better. There's so much beyond "Hi I'm Cathy (⌒▽⌒)☆".
Asdfp277 08.06.17	good trolls are hard to come by, anywhere
Papa Universe 08.06.17	Was there a troll-trend such as "Hi I'm Cathy"? Cause I don't remember seeing any.
rodrigo90 08.06.17	Can you imagine if this site had more female users, most of us would have probably find a date. Not me because I'm not from the U.S. but most of you, absolutely
Asdfp277 08.06.17	was that ars or lpftw or
Rik VII 08.06.17	"good trolls are hard to come by, anywhere" Yeah, that's true. Maybe all the trolls just catch my eye more often on here because it's easy to call attention with just a list and stuff "Was there a troll-trend such as "Hi I'm Cathy"? Cause I don't remember seeing any." Yeah, there was a time some months ago where every single day another troll account popped up and made a list with some model as a profile pic and spamming everyone with emojicons
VaxXi 08.06.17	also, check jessie ware's latest song [2]
L4titudes 08.06.17	Find the cool users, interact with them, ignore the rest. That's my MO on the site. It's a cool site.
rodrigo90 08.06.17	I interact with most of the users, I don't care if they hate me or not, it's not the point of this site.
dbizzles 08.06.17	When it's good, it's great. When it sucks it sucks. Infinite wisdom, boys.
theBoneyKing 08.06.17	I love this place, despite its flaws. Most users are cool, even if my taste doesn't quite fit with that of the general site population most of the time. I like how the site encourages professional-style reviews - unlike sites like RYM. I don't love how the database and charts work here (though I appreciate how easy it is to add stuff to the database), but that's not really what I come here for primarily, at least not anymore. At this point I use both Sputnik and RYM with equal frequency and I believe RYM's database system and charts are vastly superior to Sput's, but (sappy as it sounds) Sput holds the deeper place in my heart for the closer-knit community aspects.
rodrigo90 08.06.17	Sputnik is love, sputnik is life
Asdfp277 08.06.17	it's hard to even make a dent in rym's database, but i still work by adding albums any time i can
zakalwe 08.06.17	rym is bollocks. Sput has a sense of humour (most of the time) Love it.
Sinternet 08.06.17	i mean as far as communities go its decent but really there's very little reason for me to come here other than force of habit
Kimm 08.06.17	It's a lot different from when I started using the site (I want to say around seven or eight years ago.?) Different users = a different dynamic, and after taking such a long hiatus, it almost feels like being a new user all over again, but with a less dramatic entrance. Mostly now I just love using the site to get an overview of new-to-me music, finding out which bands may be similar to bands or artists I already like and reading reviews to get new perspectives on albums or pick up on things that I may have missed.
Dissonant 08.06.17	Database wise, RYM is far superior. This site is really nice though overall, even though it's sluggish (on a daily basis)
SandwichBubble 08.06.17	@Aiwaz 3 people now
MercuryToHell 08.06.17	The seemingly weekly outbreaks of server AIDS are incredibly annoying, but without Sput I wouldn't have had any incentive to write, I wouldn't know half the music I dig now, and I wouldn't have got to know y'all, so I'll take that as a win.
L4titudes 08.06.17	Yeah it really pisses me off when I try to add an album/band like 5 times before it finally goes through.
Asdfp277 08.06.17	u only need to do it once, then wait you're creating needless copies of the same artist
Demon of the Fall 08.06.17	Site could run better at times but the people are generally really cool, helpful & welcoming.
sempiturtle 08.06.17	servers are shite. the rest of it is ok.
minty901 08.06.17	General purpose of the site is excellent. I think the site's organisation and code-base could use an overhaul as its quite outdated. I'd like for things like split EPs to be handled better for example, by letting you attribute albums to multiple artists. I'm currently in the process of creating a "new version of sputnik" as a hobby and to flex my web development ability, but since I'm not actually involved with this website's development, I'll probably not do anything with it. Unless the sputnik people show an interest in using my code.
Asdfp277 08.06.17	the only one who can do that is mx, and he logs on like once every 2 years so lol
Sowing 08.06.17	Probably my favorite website concept wise. There's really not much like it that I know of out there which explains its continued popularity despite subpar caretaking from a server and design/functionality updates standpoint.
Emim 08.06.17	A lot of the old users have left or gone dormant, the trolling isn't nearly as funny anymore, and I find there is less general music discussion on whole. That might just be me getting older and grumpier though.
Emim 08.06.17	And even so, there are plenty of cool people on here. You get out what you put in, though. So if you're a productive member of the site I think you'll find it worth your time.
Asdfp277 08.06.17	yeah, there's pretty much no other site like it, that's why it's popular
Tyler. 08.06.17	Site would be great if they fucking updated it
wwf 08.06.17	'Probably my favorite website concept wise. There's really not much like it that I know of out there which explains its continued popularity despite subpar caretaking from a server and design/functionality updates standpoint.' pretty spot on, really
Marehelm 08.06.17	Been lurking for a while and just started posting. People seem nice.
SandwichBubble 08.06.17	@Marehelm aww To everyone saying sputnik is popular: it is?
Feather 08.06.17	This site needs an app and spotify integration and it could be fucking huge
Papa Universe 08.06.17	Please, don't make it huge, the main reason I am still here is because of how small (considerably) is the community.
Feather 08.06.17	eh I guess thats true, but I'd still like to see the site grow and evolve more than it has in my 7+ years on it
Marehelm 08.06.17	@Sandwich, Yeah, I'm cute ;) I guess you can all start being idiots to me now!
Joeman82 08.06.17	The site could use a bit of a visual overhaul, but in all honesty I like how we have a small community. Most people are nice on this site which is a huge plus.
Nikkolae 08.06.17	After almost 8 years here I can say it's turned into a glorified version of /mu
macman76 08.06.17	I like that it's modest and looks "old", this place has charm/character
Tyler. 08.06.17	I would like an aesthetic overhaul tbh
Deathconscious 08.06.17	"Can you imagine if this site had more female users, most of us would have probably find a date. Not me because I'm not from the U.S. but most of you, absolutely" The fact that some users think like this is the very reason there are no female users here.
Feather 08.06.17	Nah, girls aren't on here cus they're stupid
hal1ax 08.06.17	...or are we stupid?
Nomos 08.06.17	I think I've been here for close to 9 years now? It's the last thing that resembles a forum that I still visit. Except for the ACTUAL form here. In terms of just speaking to people on a regular basis who are technically strangers. From ~2000-2009 I obsessively visited so many phpBB forums, moderated view, but those went to the wayside when new social media took over and I lost the spare time. I also dropped a lot of hobbies these forums centered around. But in the past 10 years my life has almost come to revolve around music. Having never been huge into music beyond whatever was on the radio I was in high school, I came across the front-page review for Cynic's Traced in Air on Sputnik when I was in college, and this happened at a time in my life where I was really figuring out who I was and trying to change myself for the better. Been down the rabbit hole of discovering music here for almost a decade and I've loved every minute of it. Most of my free time now is spent actively searching-out new artists or genres. I start most nights by smoking a bowl and immersing myself in music and savoring new finds. Appreciating mixing, production, melodies, etc. Not intended to sound like a pretentious turd, but, I mean, it just makes me so fundamentally happy to have the pleasure to appreciate passionate people's art. I guess drugs helped this along too, but it was a permanent change in me for the better. So I appreciate this site more than any other on the internet. It reminds me of a time when I was a much less interesting person, and a lot angrier, and more confused, and reminds me of how far I've come since then, how much my life has changed, and of the thing in life that makes me the happiest (beyond my fiance!), which is music. I don't even know a lot of your names. But I remember avatars. So it always sucks when people change their's because then it's like they've vanished in my eyes. I'm good with some names though. The site itself is slightly archaic in some ways, but only because it ain't broke. I wish you could load new pages of comments as you scrolled down instead of loading new pages. I wish trying to type text-based emoji's worked, instead of whatever happens now, which appears to be the site trying to turn them into an emoji, but it just being a broken image link. And the servers. Because sometimes it's a bummer to wait for 10 minutes for the front page to load.
Trebor. 08.06.17	"Can you imagine if this site had more female users, most of us would have probably find a date. Not me because I'm not from the U.S. but most of you, absolutely" lol yeah women exist only to fuck
hal1ax 08.06.17	ah yes a beautiful novella
Calc 08.06.17	macman the mod sighting whoa
bgillesp 08.06.17	I like Sput. RYM sucks. Genre tags are my only complaint here
Avagantamos 08.06.17	if I didn't have Thor's 5s to base 80% of my music taste on back on 2010 where would I be now? my only major gripe with the site is the genre tagging system. server crashes are annoying but if I can't log on to sputnik for a day it's no big deal.
Deathconscious 08.06.17	"A lot of the old users have left or gone dormant, the trolling isn't nearly as funny anymore, and I find there is less general music discussion on whole." I agree with two of these points, not the "less general music discussion" part though. I think theres more of it. I see a lot more civil discussion about music than i did years ago. I think people are more willing to share their opinions now because theres less of the "your opinion is wrong and retarded" back and forths.
Papa Universe 08.06.17	Can anyone give me a good example of trolling on this website from the "golden era of trolling", as you say?
Joeman82 08.06.17	The trolling is forced and pathetic.
Deez 08.06.17	It is what it is. A massive sasuage fest. Those who claim to hate it most still come back with a million fake alt names and shitty lists and 1 everything because they have no one else to go and nothing better to do. Think about what type of fucking dweeb does that Thats what type of people your dealing with. But theres also a ton of good peeps. It is what it is. Use it for the music and finding new recs and its dope.
Dissonant 08.06.17	Lol aren't most music websites sausage fests ?
Deez 08.06.17	I wouldnt know I can only handle so many Sausages at once so I only really use here and blogs.
Spec 08.06.17	Great website. I love it.
Tyler. 08.06.17	Spec
Papa Universe 08.06.17	Tyler.
Toondude10 08.06.17	It's like porn. No matter how much you try to stay away from it, you just keep coming back.
Asdfp277 08.06.17	there was no golden era of trolling just self-serving old hags remembering their own "glory days" as a golden era
Orb 08.06.17	This site itself is stuck in 1999 with its ghetto ass layout and functionality but there's no alternative for hanging out with likeminded audiophiles in such a pub-like environment. Some of the users are absolute cancer but there's enough decent people on that I'll be genuinely sad when this site inevitably bites the dust lest it gets with the times and addresses some its rather serious issues/shortcomings.
heck 08.06.17	1/5 Awful site, neg
Asdfp277 08.06.17	that's not how u use "lest" i like the look of the site, it's the atrocious coding that's most annoying
Orb 08.06.17	Its constructive comments like yours that really help this site grow and evolve as a community.
SandwichBubble 08.06.17	neg [2]
Asdfp277 08.06.17	lol
Emim 08.06.17	@asdf: The site was generally more funny back then. Back when moaropeth was still up there were many laughs to be had.
Deathconscious 08.06.17	I miss the antics of kill and sonic.
FakeOne 08.06.17	The site itself sucks, but I like the community, most new reviews (both user an contributor) are good. I'm not really a big participator, but I love watching you guys being silly from the sideline. I just hope the site won't shut down, it's seems like it's been getting less and less traction since 2014 (based on how many ratings the big albums from each new year get). I just love to hang around in the shadows here
Emim 08.06.17	KILL, sonic, academy, ffs, and even Chan and mappy
Deathconscious 08.06.17	@fake really? I feel like we have more users. The new ones dont get scared off like they used to now that sput has chilled out a little.
Sinternet 08.06.17	i mean kill sonic and academy are here fairly regularly
Asdfp277 08.06.17	when have kill and sonic ever been funny lol
Koris 08.06.17	3.2556874227/5
MrSirLordGentleman 08.06.17	"when have kill and sonic ever been funny lol" kill rulz wtf
Asdfp277 08.06.17	all he did was say "fag"
Asdfp277 08.06.17	then again, my type of troll is spooky so idk if my opinion counts
ArsMoriendi 08.06.17	It needs to be updated to all hell, but otherwise it's good.
Emim 08.06.17	If that's all KILL said to you then that might be a clue
InFlamesWeThrash666 08.06.17	all he did was say "fag" check rush
Asdfp277 08.06.17	"If that's all KILL said to you then that might be a clue" never spoken to the dude, he was banned by dev for only saying "fag" when i joined in
Deathconscious 08.06.17	"when have kill and sonic ever been funny lol" It was before your time, boy!
AsleepInTheBack 08.06.17	Good community. Good site. Really good writing recently
MrSirLordGentleman 08.06.17	if Kills calls u fag it is either in a kind bro way or cause ur music taste is poopy
Deathconscious 08.06.17	We used to tolerate some god awful reviews, thats something thats gotten better. Theyre still out there, they need to be deleted honestly. i.e. the dethtrasher reviews.
Emim 08.06.17	That's how the English say hello
Asdfp277 08.06.17	it's not that i minded it, he just wasn't funny imo
teamster 08.06.17	One of the few metal websites I can actually talk about anything "post" in the music.
ianblxdsoe 08.06.17	would be toptier if mx wasn't a pp head
Prancer 08.06.17	Opinion: Has potential to be the "facebook" of music websites, but when the most customization your profile has is "favorite bands" then it is pretty outdated. Pie chart is cool, but the site really needs more genre tags. And I guess an opinion about sputnik wouldn't be complete without mentioning how terrible the servers are. How am I supposed to live when sput's servers are down when I want to give a Suicide Silence album a 1.0??? This is important stuff here.
bloc 08.06.17	Happy to be a part of this website. I don't contribute whatsoever, but it's a pleasure chatting about whatever. Hell, you could even say I've made some online friends.
superluminals 08.06.17	i feel like this year has had a lot of solid new users
TheSpaceMan 08.06.17	^really?
AlexKzillion 08.06.17	Contrary to popular opinion, I really like the look of the site. Servers are poopy but it's okay, sometimes it's good to go outside.
Asdfp277 08.06.17	"the facebook of music websites" sounds like it would be either ultra cool or super terrifying
Emim 08.06.17	bloc, you're like 76% of the reason I still post here.
superluminals 08.06.17	if this website was like facebook i wouldn't be here tbh
Asdfp277 08.06.17	i guess the shitty servers and coding are a necessity, lest this site becomes too popular and as such, the facebook of music websites
Danred97 08.06.17	I like it here. The community is fun to interact with and I get turned on to a lot of music I wouldn't listen to otherwise. Servers can be frustrating, but I like everything else. It's better now that most of the problem users are gone. Less drama, more actual music discussion.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.06.17	i only like the layout of the site because im so used to it that if it changed i would be fucking mad.
Asdfp277 08.06.17	mx is really a poor man sitting in a pot of gold
bloc 08.06.17	"bloc, you're like 76% of the reason I still post here." Haha thanks man, you and I go waaaaaay back indeed. It's like Christmas whenever I see you post lol
hasan 08.06.17	sputnik the web site a good site on line, there is a lot of good people to post on the page haha. good way too find alot of good cds this
ianblxdsoe 08.06.17	[2]
PitchforkArms 08.06.17	The database-esque sorting and listing is what brought me here, but the community is actually pretty decent, despite some cancers, from what I can remember. Haven't been around as much as I used, though. I miss some of ya'll. An app would be dopeness.
Calc 08.06.17	there's like no cancers among the users anymore, if anything there's a constant gushing over every review anyone writes. seeing actual criticism beyond grammar stuff is pretty rare
hasan 08.06.17	good to do a nice post, on the page to feel good hear to not be sad
TheSpaceMan 08.06.17	@ calc agreed
PitchforkArms 08.06.17	good stuff, calc. It's not the user base that pushed me away, just work eating my life. I'll be make a concerted effort to be around more, though!
TheSpaceMan 08.06.17	theres also very weird trends with styles of reviews lately. past 2 years it seems
Crymsonblaze 08.06.17	Sputnik is fine. I've never been very invested in it, but it's definitely gotten a lot better in the sense that it's way less toxic than it used to be. I do wish Crandy would come back though [maybe he will ;)]
hal1ax 08.06.17	i feel like a lot of the new users are really good at writing
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.06.17	the site definitely feels less cancerous than it has in ages
macman76 08.06.17	Isn't part of Sputnik's appeal that it is a small exclusive community of music nerds? Except for modest changes in web layout and server performance, I don't know if we should want the site to grow and change that much.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.06.17	we just need to get rid of all the entry level metal users
Asdfp277 08.06.17	site is a lot nicer now, ye
MoosechriS 08.06.17	I've been here for getting close to 8 years now and i still like the site, i lurk on here most days and post occasionally. The influx of good writers into the site has been really good and also the musical diversity of the site seems to have expanded because of it which is always a good thing. I attempted to write a bit myself but the long and short is i'm just a bad writer, but some of the reviews as of late have really spurred me to go and check out stuff that i may have otherwise overlooked which is a testament to how good some of the people on here are.
TecumsehGargoyle 08.06.17	i like turtles
Deez 08.06.17	A lot more love in this thread than I expected. Well done.
Tyler. 08.06.17	i miss when everyone was meaner
TheSpaceMan 08.06.17	Fuck off tyler
ArsMoriendi 08.06.17	More genre tags would be nice too and maybe a better shoutbox system
Deez 08.06.17	Maybe the chart updating for the year before august too.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.06.17	lmao
StrikeOfTheBeast 08.06.17	Great index for albums and bands for sure. The community is hit-or-miss. 3/5
TheSpaceMan 08.06.17	Definitely more genre tags
Emim 08.06.17	I wish the ads wouldn't wait to load on mobile until the nanosecond before I click on something.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.06.17	even calc isnt that annoying anymore "I wish the ads wouldn't wait to load on mobile until the nanosecond before I click on something." LMAO yes
GhandhiLion 08.07.17	Definitely more genre tags [2222222222222]
Deez 08.07.17	"I wish the ads wouldn't wait to load on mobile until the nanosecond before I click on something." hahahahahahha WORD!
tiesthatbind 08.07.17	I haven't really been consistently active here since around 2012-2013, but I still like the concept as far as the user-created reviews go, which, as mentioned, isn't really done on any other site. It's fun to write reviews when I actually get the motivation to do so. I still occasionally still use it for music exploration, but otherwise this site is mostly not for me anymore. I definitely have some good memories on here from when I used to be more active though.
Deathconscious 08.07.17	the ads werent too annoying for me on mobile until a week or two ago. now it doesnt matter how much i refresh, they wont fuck off, and if i try to exit out of the ad, it will go away but i wont be able to move or click anywhere on the page and the dark background of the ad stays in place.
TheSpaceMan 08.07.17	Use the free ad blocker app bro, 0 ads and pages load faster
tiesthatbind 08.07.17	"I wish the ads wouldn't wait to load on mobile until the nanosecond before I click on something." Also, this. It's like the site doesn't even want me to lurk anymore!
Dewinged 08.07.17	I love the site and the community. It could use some improvements here and there, but overall the amount of work everyone has done to make it better is already something significant.
hasan 08.07.17	SPUTNIK.... to be on the page haha after i had some time with the web site? it is good i think it can be big, to learn about pop cds i had to check it. it is a good site on line and i like all the people on it.. good mix of heavy and pop songs and talking about them on a post here hard hits i know this,would want try to do a writeup on the page of my own, good writers on the web site..... it is important to the site that the group is a good group of people i like that yeah haha..... to see what is on sputnik to learn new songs on cds and share what you like and do. on the page. it is under rated i try to tell my friends at my crib check out sputnik music the web site! haha i do not know i try my best to do it. a good place to meet fans of songs and players.. i want to sing more but i play bass.. its wow its a way to meet on the page a good one haha,. to play bass and slap it.. all different kind of music are on the web site sputnik is a place for every one not just pop punk but heavy hitting band to here alot on the site. i have heard yea alot of new songs cuz of sputnik and i am happy every one on the site is nice on the page..... haha. i hop to form a pop punk band on the web site or on craig list at some point in the summerAugust. to play on a pop punk would be good? is sputnik a good place to do it? yes i think it would be yes it is yes this is hwy i like the site. and sputnik music .com is a good place to share HasanMedia my music songs on cds hits do i recomend this web site? i do? yes it is good if i could rate it like to give a rate on cds on the site i would give it 5 points out of 5, A CLASSIC haha yeah i dont no

[2] "yeah but we need more people into electronic music cuz the sites database for that is abysmal, i have to add 90% of what i listen to these days" Dude same here. Most of what I review is electronic for the most part and they're lucky to get 1 maybe 2 replies. Its pathetic.

JeetJeet 08.07.17	I'm digging this site. Would give it a 3.5. @hasan I'll join your pop punk group bruh
TheSpaceMan 08.07.17	beep beep boop bop
SgtShock 08.07.17	On the technical side, we all know this site is outdated. People-wise, you'll occasionally get some really interesting comments or discussions going here but a lot of the time it's only one step above YouTube comments.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.07.17	Emim remember like 7 years ago when we actually had similar music taste
Emim 08.07.17	My electronic contribution is listening to the Tetris soundtrack last night.
Emim 08.07.17	Pots, I remember my first encounter with silentpotato was in a Slipknot thread.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.07.17	lmao actually? were we both hatin'?
loveisamixtape 08.07.17	create a mobile version ffs i usually have to refresh each page 5 times just to read anything. site is great and often useful otherwise
mifzal 08.07.17	i love all you guys, including the trolls lets all of us get into the sauna and do stuff
BlazinBlitzer 08.07.17	Functionally, I don't think this website is that great, but that's probably due to the lack of recent updating. Otherwise, it's a very unique community, and, over the past year or so, I haven't found any other website that's as connected, relatable, or, most importantly of all, fun. I understand that music discussion forums aren't all fun and careless as Sputnik has a sense of professionalism in their reviews and news(and quite a good one at that), but that professionalism doesn't really overtake the humbleness and relatability of the staff and contributors involved. Also, am I the only person who thinks trolling isn't really a problem here? I might looking in the wrong places or something, but trolling hasn't really bothered me here all that much.
Sinternet 08.07.17	just use firefox on mobile and get the ublock origin extension 'yeah but we need more people into electronic music cuz the sites database for that is abysmal, i have to add 90% of what i listen to these days' this x100 (also rym also sucks for electronic music because retards bomb the averages half the time unless its some overhyped classic so there's nowhere good to go for an electronic database in this style) also i actually fucking miss the drama and 1000-comment long threads, they made the site interesting, now it's like you're free of gonorrhea but you got permanent erectile dysfunction in the meantime
Asdfp277 08.07.17	there's gotta be a balance tho
mifzal 08.07.17	rym is mostly infested with edgelordz. you can find one or too like me here also
evilford 08.07.17	I like this site's layout much better than rym but the servers seem to be made of glass some days. otherwise I have no problem with sput, cool users for the most part and I can talk absolute nonsense about the music I love, etc.
evilford 08.07.17	aka circle-jerking to death albums etc
Orb 08.07.17	Hell yeah m/
Nbehre11 08.07.17	I enjoy it. Kinda watch from the sidelines, as mentioned earlier by some users. I find a lot of great new music through all of you beautiful people, so thanks!
Emim 08.07.17	"were we both hatin'?" I unfortunately was probably extolling the virtues of nu-metal
Deathconscious 08.07.17	Sput is really the only website i care to frequent. Somebody here had better start their own music website when sput kicks the bucket.
Emim 08.07.17	Maniac tried that a while back. I think I wrote a review for the awful Lockout movie for it.
Deathconscious 08.07.17	Yeah i remember that, wasnt it mediasnobs?
Relinquished 08.07.17	he did a decent job but another guy whose life got in the way
Emim 08.07.17	Yeah, maniac was one of the few users that went from annoying to really cool.
MisterOpturus 08.07.17	make sputnik great again.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 08.07.17	" I unfortunately was probably extolling the virtues of nu-metal" hahahaha oh shit
bloc 08.07.17	Is Lockout the one with that fox Guy Pierce
MrSirLordGentleman 08.07.17	rym sucks dick
Minushuman24 08.07.17	I love the setup, but the site needs some update for sure
bloc 08.07.17	If the "New Comments" section updated in real time, that would be sick
Dedes 08.07.17	God for the level of shit I give this site I honestly do love it. Yeah, the layout is kind of aged and the servers are about as good as soggy cheerios but you can have an honest discussion about any form of music here. This is also the only music site i've came upon where music isn't always the primary focus and you can really just release to a bunch of bros willing to help you out. At the end of the day there are only 3 things I don't like about this site-Servers, political rants in the community thread, and a user named BLOON. Come out and fite me boi
Dedes 08.07.17	It also irks me that Calc and CalculatingInfinity are not the same users.
Emim 08.07.17	Yeah, that's the one, bloc
Prancer 08.07.17	"It also irks me that Calc and CalculatingInfinity are not the same users." lmao I wondered that when I first got here.
Calc 08.07.17	i'm the one who doesn't post much anymore.
Xenorazr 08.07.17	I like Sputnik. I feel it's a niche place and that the long-time users are a small but occasionally tight-nit crowd. The worst part is definitely the random crashes, which I'll admit are part of what discourage me from being on here as often (instability is often a deal-breaker for me), but the discussion of music and having a platform to share thoughts on music is often what keeps me coming back, regardless of how consistent that may be.
Sharkattack 07.07.18	Too many limeys and Canadians
Artuma 07.07.18	"What should come back?" mx, for the love of god please
Maniac! 07.07.18	"Maniac tried that a while back. I think I wrote a review for the awful Lockout movie for it." I got something cooking in the background right now, actually. Just deployed and working a lot right now. There will be another site in the future.
Maniac! 07.07.18	oh shit this list is old
0GuyMan0 07.07.18	As someone who has basically zero personal interaction with anyone in 5 years or so here, I have fallen into the practice of this site serving as a good litmus test for how I'll feel about an album. You'z my people, whether you know it or not.
Allergist 07.07.18	The favoritism of certain shit users is annoying but only slightly. Everything else is fine from what I’ve seen
Voivod 07.07.18	Before embarking to Sputnik 9 years ago, I didn't think there would be a truly functional site where ALL music genres and their respective fanbase, could co-exist in civility, because make no mistake, it's a harmonious symbiosis, as far as I'm concerned. So there's that, Sputnik's first and foremost breakthrough. Site server crashes were a major hiccup indeed, but it's been quite a while since they stopped, so there's that too. Site updates are eloquent and methodical, ergo they largely go unnoticed most of the time, which is good, because UX should be improved at a non-disruptive pace. Being here for so long, generations of users come and "go" (they never really do ;-)), which is a good and a bad thing at once. As for the community, the vast majority of people I interact with, are reserved and cordial, and that helped a lot in my perennial research of new and interesting music in the underground. Sooo... That's my two cents on the matter.
Drifter 07.07.18	I never commented on here? Hmmmmm
SandwichBubble 07.07.18	When Sputnik is ashes, then it has my permission to die.
Sharkattack 07.07.18	Whatcha think drift?
Sowing 07.07.18	best website I've been a part of has its flaws for sure, hopefully one day they are adequately addressed
bgillesp 07.07.18	I like Sput.
Faraudo 07.07.18	I've been here for 5 years and it's been a pretty interesting and engaging experience tbh. I've discovered TONS of music by just being on the site, and i've discovered plenty of other music by talking to some of the beautiful peeps around here, so yeah, it's a very cool site. Not so friendly for new users tho.
Zig 07.07.18	"What should come back?" The band images would be nice.
bgillesp 07.07.18	People are only mean to new users who spam lists. I always try to explain why there's a 1lpd rule, but most just hate on them. The lurkers who learn the rules before joining are the ones that survive
JustJoe. 07.07.18	I would say musical neighbors but I don't post ratings anymore so. Either way, I like it here.
Faraudo 07.07.18	"People are only mean to new users who spam lists. I always try to explain why there's a 1lpd rule, but most just hate on them. The lurkers who learn the rules before joining are the ones that survive" Or, the ones who learn the rules while passively being in the backround, not doing a billion lists or whatever. "Can you imagine if this site had more female users, most of us would have probably find a date. Not me because I'm not from the U.S. but most of you, absolutely" Is there any female users at all?
stuck_in_decades 07.07.18	ok site, some cool people, discovered some good music, kinda wish it'd die for some reason though i don't know it makes me anxious sometimes
SymbolicInTime 07.07.18	Honestly love this site, problems and all. Any other music sharing site of this type I try I just get tired of very quickly. Idk what it is, but Sputnik just has it’s own charm.
bgillesp 07.07.18	We haven't had a good crash in a while. I miss those
SymbolicInTime 07.07.18	I mean hasn’t it only been like 2 months since the last one that lasted for 2-3 days
Faraudo 07.07.18	I honestly feel kinda anxious everytime that happens. I refresh the site at least a couple of times a day to see if it's back.
Drifter 07.07.18	"Whatcha think drift?" Best site everrrrr
Supercoolguy64 07.07.18	sput has a sense of humor [2]
Pon 07.07.18	I hate how much I love this site
TheNotrap 07.07.18	[2]
Tyler. 07.07.18
butcherboy 07.07.18	having a more diverse userbase would be grand.. at the same time, a collective of underachieving mostly white guys is probably very progressive for relativity purposes.. site's great..
JustJoe. 07.07.18	I'm an underachieving mostly black guy. 🙋
butcherboy 07.07.18	well, way to reinforce negative stereotypes.. go stand in the corner and think about what you've done..
FrancieBrady 07.07.18	I like the site for what it aspires to be, but they could do with some improvements on the band pages, labeling, etc. But it can still be a still a nice place to start with for recs, etc.
JustJoe. 07.07.18	Yes, sir. 😔
Krvst 07.07.18	Like the site but will be great when snide disappears
SandwichBubble 07.07.18	suck it butcher, I only fit 2 of those 3 descriptors
Drifter 07.07.18	"But it can still be a still a nice place to start with for recs, etc." Are you saying we're in some tier system and we ain't number 1? Jom, kick him from our club.
