It's being dealt with.

In the meantime can we all get on with being a music forum please?

Yeah I would like to as well, it's officially all water under the bridge for me at least from this point on. I'm done with all of this, time to get back to music.... or at least when the forum starts getting more active again, I've seen snails do mile runs faster then the threads have been getting responses the past couple weeks. =/

so...can I take booboo's place as mod?
:D

Crap he beat me to it!

You guys have seen me in the spammer's visitor messages!
I'd take care of those guys like nothing else.

I'm really only asking so I can have a big-ass Rocky gif as an avatar.

I think Boo is a great mod he is one of my favorites. To be honest I know that Boo and me have opions on some non-musical issues, but I never had a problem with him. When I was a newbie, I think I took an instant liking to him because he likes Prog. When it comes to talking about music he is the best. One example is when he did a list of guitarist (and bassist,) he took into consideration other people's opinion about who should be on the list, and he added them to the list. It may not seem much to other people but it meant a lot to me, when he added my suggestions. That is the whole point of MB is to share your opinion about music.

I think you are misjudging Boo, he has a lot of good qualities.

There's no questioning boo boo's qualities as a poster. When it comes to music he's extremely knowledgeable.
However, by his own admission, moderating wasn't one of them.

Can I get a cliff-notes version of the dramatic events of a few days ago?

Sorry, classified information.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to perma ban you...for life!

would a haiku suffice?

And to think I always thought he hated me.

Such an honorable mention prompted by seemingly nothing. You know, sometimes I ****ing hate this place, but for the most part this monkey house can be more endearing than my own family.

I got a PM the other day that I read to my girlfriend. I think we argeed to hang it on the wall.

I hate you... http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...er/shrug-1.gif

OT: I've got gas...):

Yeah but I wasn't guessing on that one. also, you're a cunt.

Omg, that's sexist! Now show us your abs, you fucking sexy(st, ha!) bastard!!

I thought you wanted to see my boobs?

I don't discriminate. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

It would be an improvement if we could find out why this place is so inactive. This is a Music forum for all kinds of music, and i don't see any of the 174 threads i am subscribed to being responded to.

There is a connection there, I'll let you figure it out.

I think music banter is a highly active site, it gets a lot more action than most of the other music forums I've seen on the interwebs.. and, uh, have you looked at some of the threads you've started around here? And you wonder why noone's replying..

The site always slumps this time of year.

a thread got heated
boobs went crazy and banned us
now pete is a mod

:)

Boo boo went cuckoo
Girls get paid to have babies
Progress has a cost

I want to be a trollin' gumshoe knockoff. :(

I don't visit this site often so I can't say what the "dynamics" are here, but on other sites I spend more time at, I see more or less activity at different times. August is "vacation" time for many, so some folks may be doing other things.

Let's talk about the Beatles remasters! :o:

Maybe it's time for another George Noory Thread in the lounge, huh? :tramp:

I'm all for moderation
But somtimes it seems
Moderation itself can be kind of extreme
So I join the congregation
Join the softball team
I went in for my conformation
Where incense looks like steam
I start conjugating proverbs
Where there once were nouns
This whole damn rhyme scheme's
Starting to get me down...

I think Andrew Bird's been hanging around musicbanter.

SO looks like there was another site update....

it wouldn't effect avatars would it?

Bah, I don't like the header bar color change. It's way too dark for me.

I actually kind of like it, blue is my favorite color.

wow, its changed quite abit from earlier. i like it though. apart from green, blues my favourite also :).

It looks the same to me?

You need to clear your private data in your browser.

i never done that and mines changed... ?

I've got a mac which means it's pretty much crap at doing everything :P

But yeah I can see the changes now. So avatars are still an issue then?

the teal / turquoise background of all posts clashes harshly with the new navy blue / grey motif for the rest of the site. i think white or a very light grey would be a much better background colour, not a big fan of really dark forums.

dark text + light background = easy to read

bright text + dark background = headache

Uh, no.

The blue is a shock, though it's kind of purple. Not an improvement on the past, not worse either. The teal is what bugs me more than anything. Light gray would be nice.

The dates and subforum titles are hard to read in the dark blue/purple bars though.

It's just a real mess of colors overall...nothing really works together. lol

It hurts my eyes.
I wish there was a user-definable color scheme.
Mine would be black and gray. Anything I have to physically adjust my monitor's saturation control down for is just not fantastic.

yeah whoever is making the style changes really needs to get a colour wheel
