I've been trying to be on my best behavior and work some **** out. Slipping at the workplace again has kinda given me no other choice. Between that and tryna meet someone I'm pretty much booked. Plus MB isn't all that entertaining anymore and most of the music I like isn't really popular here.

So, you know how dear you are to me right? I love every thing about you, even your drunken nuances but, what are you doing? Honestly, what are you doing to yourself. I hate to see you like this. Stop drinking before work and passing out in children's playgrounds with your dick out, or whatever you told The Batlord, Sansa and myself.

There is nothing wrong with trying to meet someone bro, I want you to be happy, but uh, some days you have a hard time tying your shoes. Not trying to be a dick, but I think once you've got it together at least a tiny bit your meeting someone might just be that much easier. I mean you can meet someone in the state you are in sure, but do you really want to date someone as fragmented as you are. I just see such a destructive relationship if it's born out of misery loves company. I only know cause I've been there. Spend some time getting to know yourself, most days you wake up and have no clue who you are. And I mean that.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE MOUTH IS, and seek out that doctor. Take some fucking pride in yourself, and being alive. You were blessed as **** to be born here, and have the issues you are having. I don't know a single person that doesn't have issues that strike them to the core, but why you are letting yours cripple you I'll never understand. You do the drug brother, don't let the drug do you.


And MB has really gotten weak. But nobody wanted to listen to my ideas on how to ****ing fix that. Said I was mean and a snob n ****. No motha****as, a couple people can change the ****ing dynamic of a place and it's kinda sad that nobody has the backbone to say "Hey As*sh*le, cut that **** out, tow the ****ing line the bar is here, you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down here, step it up or step off.:"

Now I love just about everything you play for me in plug so wtf are you talking about nobody likes your ****. Lately we have had a rash of people that think the 60s is the the greatest ****ing thing since sliced bread, and that is wonderful, I ****ing love 60's ****. I adore it but dude, branch out and learn some other ****, that's part of the reason I won't really plug to much , that or it's death metal hour.... REALLY IS ALL THAT ****IN SCREAMING NECESSARY!? LIKE ALL THE TIME.

****ing trying to find that adaptive balance needed to keep posting here but all I keep seeing is that bat, frown,ki, dvwl over compensating with their postings. That and a lot of our awesome members either lurk, and don't talk, or just ain't here at much anymore, (Im looking at you Dj, The Phantasmo, Katsy, Mojo, Jackhammer, Engine, Manky , Freebase Urban, Vanilla, Bob, WWP, and Exo . All you people need to come back more ****ing often, speak up or whatever. Paul dude is your brain healed yet cause you are needed as well.) That and we haven't had a really great troll since 216. Let me put it this way 216, when he tried, and actually wasn't banned and just makes desperate attempts from the shouty for attention. But what do I know I just come here to **** on noobs right? Text me brah. I love you.

Dear neighbour,

Thank you for setting off that firework display last night. I love being awakened at three in the morning to explosions, bright flashes, and the smell of gunpowder. And there's no feeling better than going to school on fumes. It gives a whole new meaning to the song "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM".

Love,
Pet_Sounds

I live next door to college students who have been known to have parties, bonfires, and pissing contests. Things can always be worse.

I have no idea what your ideas even were. If it's about musical discussion, then I don't really remember you ever putting forth much into that aspect of the forum. Then again, we don't frequent the same musical sections, so it's entirely possible I'm simply missing your contributions, just as you're missing those of others who post in other parts of the site.

LIKE ALL THE TIME.
1.) Same reason I don't plug that much. Except for me it's that I have no particular desire to hear more limp-wristed indie dullness, don't get exited enough over hip hop to care too much about new recs, and am too lazy to follow up on the few things that really catch my interest. I'm not Goofle (unfortunately/fortunately).

2.) The sixties thing I'm totally on board with though. I have my cravings for garage rock every now and again, but I generally know that if I'm plugging with Oriphiel, Pet_Sounds, or Neo that I'm going to be tuning in and out when their songs come on.

3.) I don't plug enough to feel like I'm your specific target over death metal -- and I try to mix it up just so that I'm not just torturing people -- but if I'm just playing nothing but things that I feel will cater to the group, then what's the point? Just like I wouldn't ask Oriphiel to quit with all the sixties stuff, I don't think I should feel obligated to not play a little extreme metal. I do try to put a limit on just how extreme the music I'm playing is, depending on who else in there though -- unless I'm just ****ing with people of course.

You pretty much post the same things just as much as the rest of those people, and just as frequently, so I don't know why you're singling us out and leaving yourself out of it. You're just as much of a shameless Lounge lizard as the rest of us. Seeing as how I love the social club atmosphere of the Lounge, this isn't an accusation so much as just me pointing out the truth. Apparently it's degenerated to a "new low" or something recently -- I'm too lazy to really notice -- but the nature of the posting is the same as it ever was.

And it's just always been that way. Old guard moves on due to life, boredom, or just getting left behind when their particular musical interests fall out of trend for the moment, and then n00bs pop up to take their place. There's usually a period during and after summer where this is strongest, due to summer vacation and then getting caught up with school, but that's just the natural cycle. And as far as I'm concerned, we have as strong a n00b crop this last year as we ever did.

Honestly, if you're noticing that the "Old Guard" (Jackhammer, Mojo, Urban, etc, aren't posting as much, then it's because you don't realize that -- as a two year veteran of this site -- you are now the new Old Guard. In a year or so, when you likewise move on to some extent, either temporarily or permanently, people like Pet_Sounds and Oriphiel will be wondering where the **** you been recently. Besides, Jack, Mojo, and Urban were cutting down on posting even before you joined. I'm pretty sure Jackhammer almost dropped right off the grid just before I joined, due to personal ****.

True, at one point, long before I was a member, there seemed to have been some kind of Golden Age, where members like Jansz, Urban, Jackhammer, etc, were the face of the forum and there was a greater focus on in-depth music discussion, but as far as I can tell that was just one period. Looking at old threads from before my time, a large majority of actual musical discussion from the distant past were even more shallow and disposable than the bull**** Lounge spam that goes on these days, and with none of the personality or camaraderie.

Again, a lot of these people probably just moved on due to natural causes. DJ's been a member since before I joined, so you can't expect him to be here his whole life; if you mean Phanastasio, she was posting less roughly around the time you showed up; see above for Mojo, Jackhammer, Engine, etc; Manky used to post a lot until he went to college and decided he was better than everybody else here (and promptly caught Chlamydia); Freebase was another longtime member who hasn't been posting as much for a long time, and recent events that he brought on himself haven't helped; as far as I can tell, Vanilla's job stuff seems to be taking off to an extent; bob.'s posting about as much as he ever has as long as I've been a member; WWWP's actually posting more than she has for a while; and Exo still posts like a mother****er in the media section, and was never all that active in the music parts of the site.

True, certain members with high-profile personalities have left or been banned, and that's changed much of the dynamic of the Lounge areas (like Sansa and Dirty's newest incarnation as butthead), but that's happened before. Personally, I think the Lounge never quite recovered a lot of its zany personality after Il Duce/Howard the Duck died, which I'm pretty sure was before your time. And yet the Lounge endures and continues to annoy certain members just like it always has and always will.


TL;DR There are always people who claim that the site has been going downhill since they joined, and it always picks up in some way or another. Just ride the wave and go about your business.

As far as I know it's not a beef. I'm too used to pointing this out at least once a year to see it as anything other than just another part of the forum cycle. I do agree with a point I think you made a while ago about Facebook and the like hurting forums. I'm currently on a dying forum where a large part of the decline in posting is because many of the members just talk to each other on Facebook.
