not saying I'm gone for good...
 

...but I'm taking a break. I'm getting bored here, and I feel like this board, more than any other forum (especially for bands), does a lot to take away from the band and their enviroment instead of adding to it. That doesn't mean I don't like it here, it's just I need a break.



























Oh god, here it comes.

Are you crying? Do you want me to pass you the handkerchief to wipe them all off? I am off too, but to see my mates and act silly.

you should listen to sonic youth more, afterthefact.

every other band forum out there sucks ass.

"only boring people get bored."

porky, i've missed you
where have you been, son?

reminds me of a scene from The Seventh Seal

Mia: You don't look so happy.
Antonius Block: No.
Mia: Are you tired?
Antonius Block: Yes. I have boring company.
Mia: You mean your squire?
Antonius Block: No, not him.
Mia: Who do you mean, then?
Antonius Block: Myself.

hey don't let the door hit you on the way out.

HERE I GO!

This board is really the only one I've ever been on where people are constantly announcing that they won't be posting. On other message boards I frequent, when people get busy with life, or playing World of Warcraft for all I know, you just don't see them.

Sounds like you spend too much time in the Non-Sonics general board than either Sonic Gossip or Non-Sonic Sounds.

i ONLY spend time in the non-sonics board.

i love this cesspool.



ps- that link i posted above is awesome. you guys should click (no, it's not a trap).

I only spend time on "New Posts".

Honestly, this board isn't that great, I've been here 6 or so years and I've just seen it get worse and worse. But it's never gotten TERRIBLE. There was a few times it has approached that -- all the talk of Dinosaur Jr months ago was particularly trying..

But I appreciate a board where people can talk about Harry Partch, Sun City Girls, Nobokazu Takemaru, Secret Chiefs 3, Ikara Colt, etc... you know.. at least SOMEONE here will know what you're talking about. You're not going to find that at many boards, and most of the people here are friendly and helpful as well. I've pissed people off to no end with my opinions but as witnessed by the "who do you have on ignore?" thread, I think everyone here has enough of a sense of humor about shit to not hold grudges over an internet opinion.

It's not a perfect board, because I think we don't discuss good music enough.. we rarely discuss music at all, and I try to sway the conversations in that direction only to be mocked by people for it, so whatever. But it's a decent enough board. I mean, I've been here for a while for some reason.

Another problem with this board is how many topics we have that are duplicates of other topics. Please people, use the fucking search function once in a while.

I don't see the point in announcing you're "quitting" or "taking a break" from the board. No offense, I don't think any of us particularly care. I like you, afterthefact, I'm just saying -- I don't think any more or less of this board if I don't see your posts for a few days. I guess if you were quitting indefinitely, that'd be somewhat sad, as I have always gotten along with you on here, but just saying "yea I ain't going to check it for a few days." Is it really that big of a deal? And yeah, I posted "see ya" when I was going to Florida a few weeks ago, but that was more of a "Hey I'm excited about going to Florida!" post and not a "sorry, I won't be posting for a few days post." But really.. Does it really require that much effort to check this board for 5 minutes a day? Either post or don't post, you know? Whatever.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say hello to afterthefact, because as we all know, he is most likely lurking right now.
Hi!

same applies to floatingslowly, probably too pussified by his bosses to post during worktime.

There's a bunch of people on here whose opinions about music or else I value highly. The vast majority of the rest I don't care for either way.

i dont like people discussing status, ratings, lists and tops, sorry if i'm being unfair but that's the impression i have from your posts.

in my opinion, music discussions should be about ideas, emotions, feelings etc. not ratios.

you've totally got that right! good thing I didn't have to make a thread about it.

other forums down at the moment, thought I'd say "hi".

hi.

God, you are such a fucking drama queen.

better than a douchebag any day! :)
