Point of Parlimentry Procedure
 

Am I alone in thinging these two forums

rock

and

metal

should be seperated?

There would be far to many arguements about what constitutes rock as opposed to metal. I like the emo & hardcore forum idea. the music has the same roots but grew different. like rock and metal.

I agree 100 percent.

except nu metal belongs in rock cause its not metal.

at all.

in some cases it would be cool if they were split up but there would be a lot of arguments about how this band is rock....no they're metal...**** would happen...but i could see it not being horrible

*s******* yeah cause its so hard figuring out if a bands metal.

No, because Misfits supports you. But I think an almighty shitstorm would occur.

You imagine, one noob posting about greenday in the metal forum....

We all know what to do then.

Flameth the noobeth.

Yeah cause we dont do that enough already ¬.¬

I think its fine. It saves arguements, and how much does it really affect you that we have one forum for two genres? Its not as if its like, jazz and metal in one forum. They're not TOO far off.

Agreed

this is precisely what i said.

thanks for noticing. ya jerks

If i'd known.
I would've pointed it out.
Dont call me a jerk.
:(

1t 1z ****1nG h@rd k? l1mp bizcU1t n koRn r m3t@l so r l1nk1n P@rk!!!!

FINALLY.
Someone who listens to REAL metal.
Add slipknot.

you change your icon too much.

and you are a jerk. which is precisly the reason you are Vice President. did you not read the "Introduction to Women Hating" pamphlet? Ethan, I am dissapointed.

Yes but my pretending to not be a jerk yet being a jerk im even more of a jerk.

****, why don't we add Good Charlotte if you want to get technical.

They did create goth metal.

Yeah, wish I was cool enough to like them. I heard Simple Plan are heading in GC direction with metal too...?

Hahaha

Simpleplan is to grindy.

They're kind of doing a post core grind death metal influenced version of speed metal.

Dude, you shouldn't laugh at your favourite bands.

Ok dude....That was totally lame. If you have read some of my posts youd know that i hate Emo...and also that was probably the worst joke that ive evre heard

That's like, so like totally true, they are like so last month!

As they sing, "I just wanna screaaammm" - it's too black death dying dead.

If you hate Emo then why are you acting Emo?

Uhh...wtf are you talking about....if you can show me where i was acting overly melodramaitc...then i wont think you're a huge idiot

Emo is you not getting my joke^

OmFg l@m3!!!!

You're kidding right.....me not gettin a joke is emo :rofl: Good one....Omg you are one pathetic idiot

Yes, because I have been serious this whole time. My point is that you are way too defensive. You throw the worst insults, my grandma who can't walk could hit you with better comebacks.

Not everyone is trying to fight with you, get some humour.

It was just that the fact that you said they were my favoiuyrite bands was ***

I hope it doesn't cause you to cry yourself to sleep tonight!

My night has been filled with laughing thanks to this...

Alright, well let me make a case. I wouldn't have even thought of this until some clown said "the sex pistols aren't metal" which was intended to be smartassy and not serious, but heres what I say in responce to these posts.

If someone wrote about greeday in a metal forum, they you could suppose one of three things.
1. their spamming and their a bot or someone paid to pretend to think GD is great (like that Fabs horse**** that went down)

2. their new and couldn't find what they were looking for or screwed something up.

3. Just didn't know. And I'd like to point out that you toolboxes who are making fun of the newbs are the majority of that problem. If someone thought Korn was metal (as wrong as I think they would be) I don't think they know for certain, its just all they've been exposed to.

I remember reading a rock critics article about when he was a kid thinking that Billy Joel and Crystal Gale were the forerunners of modern music, and that, because it was faster and heavier than the two aforementioned, that Rush was punk.

These forums serve in part to educate.

I'd also like to say I suggested the idea because I can't be the only one who's sick of seeing the metal kids overcompensate for their lack of social skills by saying all claissic rock sucks and they we should listen to slayer. The other reason is, Metal has 1582 sub-genres and for anyone who has only a passing intrest to metal, or not at all, really wonders what the hell the long discussions are for and why it matters.

I'd argue that their very dissimilar, and that (im not joking here) metal as more in common with jazz than it does with rock.

Im not asking for a change because I say so, im asking that we consider it, open mindedly, and put it up to a MB vote, and i'd ask that if that be the case, make a post count req so they alt accounts and people who dropped by that week wouldn't count.

It's still fun to laugh at GC...we have our fun. I wasn't pointing it anyone in particular.

I think I'd like seperate forums.

I whole heartedly agree with big3 on a few points. Such as the exposure to mainstream modern music.

I came here thinking Tool were all that mattered in terms of prog rock these (emphasis upon 'these') days. I now know they aren't, and thanks to many of you, particularly Satchmo, I now explore alsorts of stuff I never once knew about.

But again, I feel it would cause far too many problems. Maybe if we all left people alone when they "stuff up" upon genre, it would be a good idea. But thats like asking for world peace. And even if veterans of the boards let it be, you'd still get newbs like bungalowbill thinking they're noobie number 1, who would go around telling other new people off for errors.

I still suggest we leave it as is. Unless you're meaning two sub forums. A rock and a metal one, under the Rock and Metal title. Or do you mean a metal forum and a rock forum? Individually.

Toolboxes, heh, nice metaphor. I apologise in advance for the english crap, I have an exam coming up soon so I'm practising:thumb:

I still hold true to my original statement.

and Big3 is right (for the most part) about Metal being more related to Jazz. Both are heavily improvised.

err..simpleplan,GC..emo?

i still think they should be seperated.

If you really want it, go make a poll in the suggestions forum, and see where it gets you. I dont see any need for it myself, but... Yeah, a poll sounds like the way to go if you want anything done.

You literally are the most pathetic person ive met on this site ever..

*s******* look whos talking.

i am noobie number 1....thats a good thing right(just kidding for those of you who cant tell jokes from seriousness *cough* misfits *cough*)
