i send assorted noise and records to shentov in bulgaria!

I've always said it's great, but I'm not so sure at the moment. The great elements are largely still here, but there are things that I dislike too. I'm not sure how to explain it.

best band in the world deserves the best board in the world. and sadly, with all it's downturns and assholes, this IS the best band board/forum in the world.

If anything,what generally puts me off is the negativity of some posters and the robotic way some others say nothing about everything or stuff that is not of urgent interest and drags me down to their level and useless arguments.

What puts me off is bigotry and prejudice dressed up as some kind of cool. Attacking this or that target won't cause much outrage, so it gets attacked. I'm still not expressing this very well.

[truncated]

I probably don't publicly give thanks as much as I ought to, but despite the fact that I don't comment on it often, I do encounter a lot of new or forgotten music on here, and for that I'm appreciative. Savage Clone and T&B have sent me stuff that I have immensely enjoyed, to be specific, so though I don't often trumpet it, I do enjoy the musical contributions on this forum. It seems odd as this is a musical medium, but I don't post as much as I'm inclined in the music sections, because those often turn into unfocued arguments that could have otherwise been lively and illuminating debates.

But as to the purported "stupidity" of the general discussion section, I don't really see why everyone is so disappointed in it. People take things far too personally for topics that are generally meant to be light-hearted, and I don't see why people are disappointed by threads/remarks/individuals that are, by nature of the medium and their placement in it, bound to be trivial or absurd. I spout a lot of trite bullshit on here, but it's never intended to be profound.

I figure, those who desire to be amused by or pass the time with casual conversation will frequent this section of the board, and those who don't, won't. I'm not really sure what the naysayers expect, to be so utterly disappointed.

I'm a leech here, to be honest. Many of you know worlds more about music than I do, so I consider this a great resource, and often have nothing more to contribute than my opinion. But whether it's a musical debate or utterly pointless banter, don't take it to mean so much. Get from this forum what you've come for, enjoy it, and let the rest roll off your feathers.

Relax, kids. It's all in good fun.

its a how many posts a day thing, not how many altogether.

[porkmarras]

It's a great place to become self-absorbed and all that but ultimately you need to be aware of you are and what you do when not on here.I thought a few times because of the amount of posts i have to my account to change my username because quite frankly a number of them reflect more my speech pattern rather than my life in general.I love music and you love music.....oh my god,this is so saccharine but hey!

I'd totally be proud of having 45 posts/ day! I just don't have input to every message I see
