Before I joined MusicBanter I belonged to a fan-site for a band. I found my self spending more and time in the general music section talking about other bands. There was this one particular member who always found fault with what I said, when he was modded he got worse. e.g. If I said one of their least like songs was good, he had take issue with that. It didn't make sense anymore. I thought 'why am I defending the very band the site is dedicated to to a mod?" It just I guess it ran it course, being devoted just to one band the post became redundant. I made a few friends there from different parts of the globe. They were really great people. I miss them. But I couldn't take that one guy always contradicting me.

I remember I was looking for a music site back in the fall of '08. Now this is about a year and a few month after SuperBad was release. I was looking for a site that would talk about German music. This site came up in the google returns I click on the link and there was this picture of a ****** something that would look like Seth from SuperBad would draw. I didn't know whether I should complain about it or let go since I wasn't a member. besides I didn't want to hassle mods. But then I was what world kinda of site is that that the mods would tolerate spam like that.

Six months later I joined MusicBanter. I was searching stuff about Prog bands and MusicBanter came up in returns. It was Boo Boo posts about Prog that drew me in, and I thought well this might be the site I was looking for.

It was before long I release that this site was full of Aunt Norrises that complained about every little thing - comas, spelling, grammar; and the "everyone is posting in the lounge and no one talking about music" complaints, and a slew of other issues. Then it was maybe only a few weeks later and it dawn on this is the site that had the SuperBad-like spam in the German music thread. It had a massive amount of bickering and fighting. I felt like MB was somewhere between Lord of the Flies and Survival Island. (That is my first and most lasting impression of this site.)

I be the first to admit I am probably the most peripheral member here, I'm not in the in crowd or part of any clique. I don't post a lot because I get the feeling I have horrible taste in music - that older or newer bands I like are irrelevant. Yet the desire to talk about music draws me back in even though I don't, and the fact there are a few people this place unique.

RIP MURDER JUNKIE

I still miss your explicit avatars.

Was?

I knew it ;).

Also what happened to hui? What was the drama with him again? I think I combined him, oojay, Cory Allen into an amalgam of a poster post I called Dwight, so I get their stories confused.

Dwight got them aliens?

I just missed the whole Coreyallen2 saga when I joined but I've heard plenty about how annoying he was.

Knew that I was Big3? It says it, just on two lines now.

For the record, I think you have one of the best, most interesting and most eclectic tastes in music on MB. :)

Neapolitan...taste in music is as personal to an individual as it gets.
In other words, there's no such thing as a, "horrible taste in music". (not strictly true, but thats a matter of opinion, proving my point...kind of)
Besides, I never had you down for having a bad taste in music.

Post count? I think when I left MB (on a regular basis) my post count averaged something like 5 posts per day at it's highest.
After I was modded, I'd even say 50% of those posts were made moderating the boards.

Going off what you say here ^...we're very similar members.
