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.

 .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.

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