There've been also some attempts to gather in central Europe too.

I met A Thousand Threads and Spiritual Amnesia in April and we shared a couple of fine Austrian beers on Donaufestival.

it's all about being nice to each other

I'm with you PAULYBEE.

I miss Old Blue. It was so much more welcoming and civilized.

Besides, there's plenty of stuff to direct your anger at out there in the big bad world, including an idiotic U.S. president and a stupid war. If you all want to get angry, get angry about that.

Yeah it'd be funny if they got G W B's phone number and started prank calling him

No need to annoy the moderator of the SY forum.

Hi there,
I seem to remeber when I started lurking back on the old board, not that I've ever progressed far beyond that level, there was a similar blow up, maybe not as severe, but similar. People got pissed off, some stuff was said, a few people fucked off etc.
And of course everything settled down for a while, and then the whole trolling thing kicked up and 1 or 2 others fucked off before it settled again. I couldn't count the number of 'this board's gone to shit' threads & funny up-to-a-point slow-motion trainwreck type arguments i've thumbed through.

All I can say is for those who arn't happy either add your name to the illustrious list of those who've fucked off with their dignity intact or just settle and wait till it calms down, and it will.

For the others, that kind of dicking around is, and was, really funny for quite a while, but keep hammering away at it and it gets BORING and just a little bit irritating, but do whatever you feel you have to do...

.......

for example, a group of us got a chalet at ATP UK 04, Jennthebenn, Naomi, Kelly (sisterk), Chris (krisyridols i think, it's been a while since i have talked to him) and I, and met up with Toilet & Bowels and pokkeherrie who had their own chalets, and we have been friends since, in-fact we are doing ATP this December again and we'll finally get to meet Iain in person

also have met people in the Midwest last time we were out there in 04, Mike (aka Rupert 'Styles" Stilinski or Eliminator Senior), Nicole (nerdosquare, who is still out there in noiseland, talked to her a couple months ago), Sonic Kurt, and Waltercarson

in other places, met Velcrobananapeels in Pittsburgh in 03, met !@#$% and his wife on several occasions (including giving Naomi, Jenn, and I a lift back to our motel in LA), got to meet Chris Lawrence in Seattle a couple weeks ago

soon shall meet up with Amy Vega in Brooklyn with Annie from Indie Cock, and we'll see who pops up in the next few weeks, hope to finally see krastian

LOTS OF GOOD NAMES ABOVE!! Are these people still around just with different usernames?

what fuckwit called chris at 2 am, who, why why the fuck would you. thats fucking criminal activity, thats fucking moronic, i havent been here for a couple of days in the hope (vain) hope that the fucking stupid fuckers (scuse my skilled useage of the english language) would have copped on and pulled their head out of their homophobic assholes and seen the error of thyre ways but no, the situation has gone up a level.
do any of you actually know who chris habib is??????

so to all i say well done, fair play to you. way to go and really piss off someone who dedicates some of his time for us to use this page, well fucking done ......... bunch of pricks!!!!!

(this is directed at the perpertrators, not to the regular normal sy forum users)

end of paulybee rant number 268745

No offense but it does come off as Chris really thinks he knows everything. I didn't make the calls. Schizo says she didn't and I believe AssBlaster. I may no some people who have but I don't care to give out their names. Chris is being a dick.

End of story.

Well, not entirely....I'm going to wear a foil sheet over my entire body for the duration to protect me from any radiation and I'm not going to say anything incase the FBI are bugging all the chalets.

I don't post much but I find that there are a lot of irritating people on here in general. I don't mean everyone and I don't know that many people here well enough to comment on anyone specific but for such a cool band, I'm afraid that the discussion board is a bit of a let down.

If only we were as interesting as you, hey?

This is exactly the kind of thing that I'm talking about

[Pookie]

I find you get out of this board as much as you put in (cue porkmarras)

[sonicl]

I agree with Michael71. Sonic Youth is very serious intellectual band, but there seem to be a lot of people on the board who are just here to have fun. These people are nothing but a disgrace.

Regards,

Mr Angry, Crawley.

True enough. I was just making a general statement really.

Maybe I was being a little harsh with michael71, but I can't stand that sort of drama from people that hardly come on here and start lashing out on members for being "irritating in general" among other things. I'm not a longtime boardie on this forum as a lot of you know, but I try to be serious AND have fun with you all. I've been on other forums and I can tell ya that most of them are crap. Normally the info is ONLY about the band or you get a load of porn. I think that this forum has members that are open to talk about almost anything and everything. The band, other music, film, guitar pedals, fears, meals, conflicts, art, drinks, etc. If the forum was only about the youth (and I don't mean it disrespectful), it would'nt be the same. To only have intellectual conversations, is not everything and would make the forum an elite and to serious. I like the way it's improved after the last punchup some members had with other members and the administrator. If it happened again, I'd probably leave for good.
Over and out.
