You've been warned.

I'd like to think that since I've been at Music Banter, I've made a concerted effort to not only keep it music based, but to make it a place that would give lesser known bands a fighting chance, or at the very least a place for all of us to get the inside scoop on bands before out friends so we can remain far more hip than they are.

So im goign to pose an argument here, its purpose is to start debate, if you don't like fighting or discussion, please just leave the thread.

Heres my position: Its my opinion that people who leave dead-end commentary in threads like "yeah I like [obvious popular song] too" kill the thread and more importantly, discussion. I think it sucks. I've seen some well detailed and impassioned posts that were followed by 3 or 4 of the aforementioned posts and then no one feeds off the intelligent post. They see the no-hearted commentary that boosted a post count and they give up.

I know we can't get rid of them, but the other discussion killer I see around here are the links to songs. Now im not asserting that the links are bad, but a link these days is an excuse to not write a damn thing about a song. They're killing dicussion. I'd like to ask for everyone to write something about the link or song you just posted as a means of getting the fire started.

Im all for allowing people easy access to music. I don't think everyone should become amazing writers to convey their passions on the songs they like, but I don't want to see it become MusicLink either.

Thanks,
Big3

I do agree somewhat.

I`ve lost count of the number of times when i`ve said EXPLAIN WHY YOU THINK THIS only to get some half assed list.

And yet go to the lounge and you get endless posts picking apart every single sentence in some bullsh*t arguement about paint or something going on for about 5 or 6 pages.

I don`t get it sometimes.

I don't know why I put effort into making a thread like this and it gets 1 post while people make threads that say "lol kool band, discuss" and it gets 5 pages of posts.

You people are idiots. Die.

yeah, and what bothers me also, is i haven't seen any new threads except in the lounge, or emo, which i couldn't give two ****s about. The lounge gets *** new threads about makeup, and how horny you are. Yeah, and I make thread about doom metal, and such, and they get 6 responses at msot.

I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.

Kind of typical this thread went down in the state immediately.

I think you are right about the quality of threads not being very high. But as a n00b myself, I think I know why this is. There are lot's of younger people coming on to the board, I have seen this even in my short MB-existence. Theit purpose for coming here is usually to find new bands, and learn. It takes a while to be able to give good remarks.

I don't know if others do the same, but I learn from MB, and it's posters. And sometimes I refrain from posting, because I have nothing sensible to add (yet), it takes a while for someone to be fully music-orientated. So you can't expect great posts immediately.

It just got to be that it wasn't worth my time ripping and uploading, if there is a resurgance of enthusiasm I may start again however it isn't likely

If it makes you feel any better, Megauplaod just won't let me download anymore. I was actually very happy with that thread. If you could use sendspace, you'll have at least one person with a little enthusiasm. =)
