Save the RTTP forums from imploding![views:10949][posts:103]___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:01pm - Sinistas ""] Alright, so as it's been established over the last few weeks, this forum has been on a serious downturn lately. Without regurgitating the same arguments all over again, we need to do something about it. I've been just as guilty as anyone contributing to the 80,000 threads full of flamewar, but the buck's gotta stop somewhere. Aaron spends a ton of time and money funding this site, taking pictures, and hosting a great radio show with much love and support for local bands. It's pretty lame that he gets to see a forum full of megathreads on the same subjects. I'd like to try and get back to what this forum SHOULD be about: the New England metal scene, what about it works, and what needs fixing. I know most of you will call me a faggot and a kissass, but I don't give a fuck. :moe: |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:02pm - KillerKadoogan ""] you are a faggot and a kissass. But seriously, I agree. BRING BACK THE NEVERENDING THREAD OF DEATH!!! |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:02pm - brian_dc ""] even more than it needs to be about the scene. It needs to be hilarious. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:03pm - yummy ""] That's where the brainstorming of the tab idea started from. I'm just getting bored with the same old bullshit. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:04pm - pam ""] I agree but without banning the person who has been lying, putting words in people's mouths, and threatening bands, families, and even banning the Rev once...how? Ignoring her would be great, but not EVERYONE will every time, and she'll just keep coming back. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:04pm - Sinistas ""] Well, usually being about the scene means being hilarious as well. Dreaded Silence? hahaha, what faggots. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:04pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Like mold. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:07pm - KillerKadoogan ""] OK so the neverendingthreadofdeath won't load for me, but still... [img] |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:09pm - pam ""] I can't even scroll past the neverending thread of death without my computer shutting down. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:09pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] The board needs more pedoincestanimalbukkakerape videos. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:10pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I still think it's hilarious that Aaron made the http://bandwidthmeter.returntothepit.com link to the neverending thread of death. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:10pm - eddie ""] save it with PIZZA |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:11pm - Sinistas ""] yes, pizza. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:12pm - brian_dc ""] pam said:I can't even scroll past the neverending thread of death without my computer shutting down. It took me 70 seconds or so to load it, but I got it. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:12pm - pam ""] Everyone loves pizza. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:13pm - KillerKadoogan ""] my attention span won't allow me to wait more than 20 seconds for that shit to load. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:14pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] whoa i just got free "going away party" pizza at work. thats the best kind of pizza. |

| ____________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:16pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] there was bacon on my meat lovers pizza ... which was more than sufficient |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:20pm - Sinistas ""] Bacon pizza is the yums. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:24pm - pam ""] I gave the neverending thread 10 minutes and gave up. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:27pm - the_reverend ""] from an email I got 20 minutes ago (from a person who used to regularly post here): "Dude, what is going on with your message board? You barely post on it anymore. Don't you still get metal updates and stuff? I'm sure you even look at your own board and wonder "what the fuck happened"? Oh well... " |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:31pm - Sinistas ""] Exactly my point. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:31pm - pam ""] I'm all ears for a solution! I'm not replying to the bitch anymore, but others will. She'll keep coming back with her lying and threatening the bands that make up this board. What can we do? |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:35pm - Sinistas ""] Chill with beer and chinese at my acoustic show tomorrow. Actually, most people here would hate that. Never mind. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:35pm - watchmaker666 ""] I know lets stop talking about it and talk about Metal! |

We could talk about the fat kid on the news right now that's complaining that he choked on a chicken bone. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:39pm - Sinistas ""] Man, I wish that kid was me. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:40pm - Yeti ""] i am all for this. i did instigate that creature, but it lost its fun. it should not be perpetuated any longer, because i am finding myself not reading nearly as much because its inundated with fighting about who is the bigger douche. if there is going to be arguing at least make it interesting. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:41pm - the_reverend ""] "I'm done replying < insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >< insert ending stab >" just fucking drop it. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:42pm - pam ""] We need a pledge thread, you break your pledge to ignore her and you have to let Rich Horror take a shit on your chest. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:43pm - the_reverend ""] since when did rich start asking permission? |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:43pm - pam ""] I said you have to LET him. It will make the job easier on Rich. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:44pm - Samantha ""] People should post more shows in the events page. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:44pm - Sinistas ""] Wouldn't that take Rich's fun away? |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:45pm - the_reverend ""] Samantha said:People should post more shows in the events page. backed. post, fill that page, and then attend shows. |

My work day is pretty boring today. I think I can take some time out of my boredom to post some shows that aren't there. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:46pm - pam ""] Samantha said:People should post more shows in the events page. I don't think there are many to post. This is the slow-show season. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:46pm - Sinistas ""] I post shows on the events page when I can. Well, besides my aforementioned acoustic show, because this isn't the place for it. |

Well, besides my aforementioned acoustic show, because this isn't the place for it. Why isn't it? I've seen pop shows on that page. You're a member of the board, if this isn't the place, what is? |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:48pm - Sinistas ""] When I've posted Xasis stuff in the past, it's went over like a wet fart at a funeral. *shrug* |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:52pm - pam ""] I gotta get Jon to get on the next Marshall's show. Even though I hate that place and the fucking lowlifes that inhabit it. Maybe some crazy bitch will throw another table at me and then get slapped around by her boyfriend outside again. Yay crack. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:53pm - carina @ work ""] and don't post bullshit on the events page. I have to clean it up regularly because of that crap... |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:54pm - carina @ work ""] and again, this board has been sucking for quite some time now. I'm now a thread killer whenever i reply to something or make a thread and get 1 reply from aaron |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 12:59pm - pam ""] I didn't think the board sucked prior to lately. There are dumb posts on every board, at least then they were pretty easy to spot and avoid if you chose to. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 1:00pm - Sinistas ""] Well Carina, I'm trying to make an effort to turn the tide here. I think we can get this place back on track. |
