Haven't voiced my opinions in a while, here's some constructive criticism for the users who need to step their game up.

SoundgardenRocks: You most definitely don't rock. Your idea of contributing to discussion is to name an album. or to start a thread where you name albums. You seem unable to formulate an opinion past asking inane questions. I make a point in a thread about the pros or cons of an artist. SoundgardenRocks would then ask 'what is your fave 2pac song'. Then name an album. Does he like said album? Does he dislike said album? Does he know anything other than the title of the album? Who knows.

Necromancer: What hole you crawled out from I don't know, but the forum wasn't exactly in need of another blithering idiot who thinks he's the class clown. You offer little to nothing in any conversation be it musical or in the lounge apart from an attempt at humour, but just like the guy in the office who brings in the hilariously witty 'comedy mug' featuring a beloved comedy characters favourite catchphrase, you lack originality or any of the humour you so desperately want to try and pretend to others (and yourself) you have.
Also you seem to have a quasi obsession with Vanilla or at least trying to get her to notice you.
It's okay though Necromancer, I've noticed you. I've noticed how woefully generic you are and how little you actually add to conversation. Find a personality. And something to say. Also, I don't want to like your facebook page. Nobody does.

Every 2013 member: if I wasn't so observant I wouldn't have noticed there were any. Someone do something to actually differentiate themselves or make some form of impression on me. Not that I'm welcoming people to adopt gimmicks or anything, just prove your musical knowledge or at least willingness to talk coherently about it. That's why you joined up, ain't it?

Obviously though I really like the vast majority of you so here's a few bars;

Anticipation: Deceptively clever guy who embodies weirdness and intrigue in equal degrees. Sound music knowledge and an interesting guy, even if I do make efforts to avoid his eccentricity sometimes.

PoorOldPo: Cool guy, obviously a talented artist and an intelligent Jew of a hippy. I imagine he just sits under a tree in the Irish countryside somewhere painting what his cheese and magic mushroom sandwich dictates. Seems approachable and is probably one of the realest members here in what the convey themselves as online.

Goofle11: I often contemplate if Goofle actually sleeps. It may be the only way to get through the masses of music he does. Obviously Goofle is one of my favourite forum members, just an all round solid individual who I would say I share a lot in common with.

Trollheart: Massive fan of TH. The effort he puts into this place is nothing short of remarkable and although he and I have polar opposite musical tastes, I always enjoy reading what he has to say. On a personal note he's just a really nice guy who is welcoming and encouraging to new members as well as always conducting himself like a gentleman around everyone else. Just a top guy all around.

Surrell: Although he's prone to being a little bitch who is also a Tyler The Creator fanboy, I respect Surrell for confronting me and other members when he disagrees with our opinion. Although most of his counter points are wholly irrelevant, it's good to see that he's up for defending his point of view and adding to the discussion.

TheBig3: Cool guy, I can see similarities between he and I but also great differences. Another member who's not afraid to say how he feels and that's how it should be. Although I think he needs to jump off Macklemore's d*ck. We get it, you like the song that doesn't make the rest of us boring squares because we don't.
That being said, I tend to agree with Big3 more times than not in his stance on most matters.

Fred Hale Sr: Top guy. Show's a genuine interest in others and has always been completely cool to everyone regardless of who they are. Just a guy I have nothing bad to say about. Post a picture though, in the least creepy possible way I want to see what you look like.

Rostasi: This guy's just so odd. I want to see a lot more of him. He's the enigma of the forum in my eyes, his brand of unrivalled strangeness captivates me. I can't say much more, because I don't know what to say. Keep an eye on this guy.

That's all for now I think. Obviously there are a lot of other people I like here; Pete, Urban, Hermoine, Franco, Ki, BD, Vanilla, GuitarBizarre, Foward To Death, Alfred, Blarrobarg, etc.. (Yeah, I forgot a sh*tload of you, sorry) but the majority are cool. There's probably more people who need to step their game up also but you've missed my all seeing eye for now. Adiós.

Paul Smeenus

I'll try to step up my game, dude

PoorOldPo

You've really grown on me too maanky. I like how you come on to women, I respect that shiiit, and I like how down to earth you are. And I really enjoyed your stand up, would like to see more of that if it is up on Youtube


Your half right with your visual depiction of me, or three quarters right. Although unfortunately I am not Jewish, just a boring Catholic.(non catholic)

Thanks man, that's really nice of you to say. You should write more in your journal though: I miss your posts which were something of a breath of fresh air (particularly liked the casino one).

Also, I think in some ways you're right about most new members but there are a few (may not be 2013 but close) who I think bear mentioning:

Paul Smeenus: I love his name and I think he's done a lot to add a great sense of humour and personality to the place, something it sometimes lacks.

Miss poptart: Genuine enthusaism for music and creates some great threads, like the Nostalgia one

Fluffy Kittens: Initially got on some nerves with his original name/avatar (though it was a hilarious example of sledgehammer wit) but has now settled well into his role and I think is proving to be a valuable member.

I'm sure there are others, but I'd have to open another window in Firefox to check on the names and I'm too damn lazy. Still, it's nice to see there are some people joining who are definitely contributing, and doing so well, and I think they should be acknowledged.

@Trollheart: Thank you. I hope I'm adding some quality discussion on music as well. I'm particularly proud of my Vespertine review, if it's ok to say.

it's entirely possible that, for some folks, the answer is no.

misspoptart

As will I. I'm no music guru but I do love talking about music. Maybe my opinions are just toooooo irrelevant for you, Manky.

Necromancer

You could do no wrong and people are going to judge you anyway, there's always someone out there who has something negative to say. I've been called a lot worse things than a blithering idiot who thinks he's the class clown, so no offense taken regardless. I am shocked that you suggest I dont offer much in the music forums though!

I am not here looking for acceptance by other MB members. This is just a music forum on the internet that I have been a member of for over 5yrs now. And I never take the internet as being so serious that it affects my current mood or personal life.

I keep coming back to MB for the occasional entertainment by reading other members posts and replies. But for most of all, I stay as a member here because of the people I have come to know here at MB through the years. I just kid around with Vanilla because she is one of my MB (Internet) friends.

My signature facebook (BassPlayerzz) site is mainly for the purpose of musicians to visit. It mainly pertains to my local and tri-state area of Ohio.

It is not my personal site .. This is a music forum isn't it?

Vaya Con Dios ..

Unknown Soldier

Just to add weight to Necromancer's response. Necromancer is probably the coolest old dude on the site and his posts are usually worth looking at. He's been on here even longer than me and is a well liked member across the board. This is actually the first time I've ever seen a negative post about him!

As for a sense of humour, well that's extremely subjective anyway. I tend to think of The Batlord and the Three Stooges as the funniest comedy acts of all time. I'm guessing not too many would agree with me about the Three Stooges though
