1 More Sticky For All.
 

I was thinking we should have a history sticky for each of the music forums.

It could be good in helping people understand the history of that style better.
We all debate where things came from and who pioneered what, so I was thinking if we lay down some cold hard facts about our musics history then people could learn a little more and have a better understanding before they go diving into the threads with a head of ego. Particularly new people, who may not know how their own knowledge weighs up against the knowledge of people who post here regularly.

It could help slow down fights and things also. If someone starts something we could refer them to the history and save ourselves the trouble of making pages and pages of wasted space and effort in an attempt to explain a point.

This would work particularly well for the punk forum and rock forum where people like misfits and boo boo are constantly explaining origins, correctly, to new people who expect reassurance.

Now, about obtaining correct history facts. I suggest starting off with a mod or whoever creates the sticky, to paste a broad article outlining the history. This opening article could come from trusted sources such as Wikipedia. Then, those who would like to add extra information, can do so.

What do you think? I hope no one fell asleep through all of this:thumb:

Merkaba i love you and think this is brilliant idea.

The emo forum has one but i think someone should make one from these forums just because that way were not ripping all of them off.


*volunteers for punk*
and i can help with the metal portion of rock and metal.

I was thinking we make it only trusted posters can do it too.
So we don't get noobs coming along going "slipknot created metal fyi"

If thats possible....Maybe a 200 post minimum?

Not a 200 post minimum i mean i dont think expletive deleted has 200 posts but he could easily do emo and probaly extremely well.

Maybe a user can just post it and a mod can decide wether to sticky it or delete it?

Capiche.

So is it a goer? Artist? Fenix? Hookers?

*crosses fingers*

Oh, I guess they're the only mods now?

I think it's a decent idea. Here's a tentative writing team

metal- misfitspunk and/or riseagainstrocks
emo/hXc-zealious, frost, all nite dinah, riseagainstrocks, alejo, and/or myself
punk- myself, fenix, all nite dinah, jesus, gentleman johnny and/or misfits
indie- ledzep, myself, and/or indieelectronica
ska/reggae- all nite dinah, myself, and/or soundgardener
country/jazz & blues/classical- Big 3
rap- gregb, myself, hype 8, and/or Growth and Development
rock- hardest one, needs volunteers

I would prefer not to be the main writer for all the ones i'm listed under except maybe the indie one. I can send PMs, see who (if any) is interested. Still, people should probably volunteer to write. Otherwise, forget about it. Do something better with our time.

I can do it with jesus's help.
We IM frequentlt enough it would be easy for just the two of us to do it.

I am sure people would willingly contribute items of use to the threads.
I'd happily contribute to the rocka area, no doubt boo boo would do it, and mayb even the big3 who is pretty clued up.

No, what are you talking about?;)

I'll help with metal but I am pressed for time in the following weeks

off topic, but what's the point of having all the 'help the lyrics page' threads stickied if no one even uses that and it's never updated?

Because we just need an admin to approve lyrics and then it would be updated.

I will do it, if you guys add prog to the rock and metal forum. :D

Bastard, good negotiators don't come cheap...

...and lose the poker face boo boo:laughing:

Prog will have the last laugh. :pimp:

i dont think you guys have a chance at getting either of them added, but who knows, i take bribes.

I have 14$, a Sammy Hagars greatest hits CD and a filipino hooker.

hmm, does the sammy hagar cd have i cant drive 55?

Yes. :cool:

sweet..now if only i can find a way to hide the 14 bucks and the hooker from my wife we might have a deal.

Well how do you know you're wife doesn't have a hooker (with machineguns) she's hiding from you?

cuz i havent caught any STDs yet.

Ahem.

I love MAchineguns with STD's as much as the next guy but is the idea going to be put into action?


Oh and err the machinegun comment was a joke. ha ha

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :rofl:

Just when I think, "Surely this person has reached and encapsulates the limits of Internet tedium" you go and push the boundary even further. Your post is an orgy of stultifying cacophonous verbal depravity; an exercise in literary impotence, and an offense to all of good taste and decency. :wave:

Hookers With Machine Guns for president.

I'm almost having trouble reading this.

for everyone else

Fenixpunk: When I thought everything had been done, you pushed the boundry. you make good post that are rude. i like it.

translation over.

Fenix's post speaks louder than images.

Maybe Big3? Whore you are lucky I don't have a digital fist. You may think im a prick of the highest order but at least grant me the concession that I know my ****.

As for the forums I was assigned, I'd be more than happy to seeing as I have some academic background in those mentioned. I also agknowledge not many people here see fit to take them on.

If only we still had Satchmo, he's throw down on Jazz for sure, leaving me with country. Anyways, aside from Merkabas insult, im all for doing this, though I don't know that my role will be that important seeing as no one posts in the forums I was assigned.

Here's what we have so far:

Rock- Boo Boo, Merkaba, Big3KilledMyRainDog
Metal- Misfitspunk, Riseagainstrocks
Punk- Fenix?, jesus, misfitspunk
Emo/hardcore- pending
Pop- ???
Rap/hip-hop- pending
Indie- me, others pending
Electronica- ???
Country- Big3?
Jazz/blues- Big3?
Folk- Big3?
Classical- Big3?

1. Ok, unless Big3 is superman, he's going to need help. Everyone that helps should be credited as co-authors in the thread.

2. Anyone that wants to help write FOR ANY OF THE FORUMS should either PM the current writer for which ever forum you want, or PM me. Multiple inputs would give us a much better quality in the end. Remember, everyone gets credited. (And the current writer(s) have every right to turn you away if they think you suck).

3. LEDZEPSTU, clean out your mailbox. Help with the indie and electronica, maybe?

4. There is NO rush. We'll probably get most posted up around the New Years is my guess.

5. Someone tell Satchmo and Urban to come back.

Mate I said maybe as in I didn't know whether you'd want to do it...

Nothing to do with how clever you are, I rate your knowledge highly and therefore deflect your E-fist :laughing:

If you take me off rock it will slightly lighten the load, though I am in fact superman. I don't mind helping anyone who asks but I really don't think people will line to ask me, I've had my fisght. Anywho, the ones you've given me are relativly simple and I already have an idea of what I would write if I actually am assigned them.

In a related note, how long do you want these things?

if david frost were ever around here, id say to put him on the emo/hardcore forum...but hes not.


id be glad to help with rock or metal....although there are already quite a few people who have said so before me so...

you can take me off the list for writing anything out, dont have much time these days (hopefully i will have some more time once i go through all of these damn resumes and interviews and finally hire my assistant!!) but i will be happy to help answer any questions hookers, misfits, and jesus happend to come across if they need it.

dont do that, his ego would be bigger than ever if someone went begging for him to come back.

^ hear hear.

maybe he can write anyway though. he might be an ass but he knows his **** like woah

What about me?

I suppose I could do Rap, Blues, or Punk, IF someone would even remember that i exist...

No offense..but fenix or jesus would be much better to do then you and you've been like not around for the past few days.

Yeah where the **** have you been, Im pretty sure you still hold my sig, no?

Give him the blues at the very least, I don't mind only having three forums instead of four.
