View Full Version : Dear members of the LPMB, you suck

Tonight I signed on and saw threads such as, "What did you eat last?", "What is your fav (sic) colour?", "Watch this closely..." and "Man, what happened? Ver. Who the fuck cares". That last thread appeared not once, not twice but fucking thrice. Even though one was a parody.
In short, this place is rubbish. Absolute garbage. I signed on tonight and had the most fun I've had in ages fucking trolling. TROLLING! And I loved it. I rarely troll, I did so because this place offers no entainment whatsoever anymore. It used to be a place of congregation, people I loved and loved to talk to were here every day. I even met a whole bunch of them. 7 of them to be exact, if not more, and they were awesome people.
Nowadays, you people have no substance. You're boring and one-dimensional and it pains me. I miss the old days so much. The people here are nothing but post whores who continually bump useless threads with no value.
Then there are people like Rob1 who say "oldschool! oldschool!", but postwhore like a bitch, demand heaps of attention and have copious amounts of posts after one fucking year. Then demands threads about them and hang around like a bad fucking smell. Grow the fuck up. Beforehand I was worried about saying this because of the backlash I might get from proper oldschoolers that I respect that like him but then I realised that it shouldn't bother me at all. They're just people over the fucking internet. Fuck. Most of the people I respected and cared for in this place are gone apart from a bare few, who know who they are.
What pains me the most is that the most fun I've had here in the past year is by trolling. It shouldn't be like that at all. Ever, but I guess I was wrong. I used to be able to spend nights here, entire nights, responding to threads that had value and weight but now this is what I get? Fuck that.
I know this wont get to anyone, I'm sure, but I dont care. This place has gone to shit and you all know it. Stop trying to care about it. The band dont, Sparkart dont, the mods (apart from Liz, nice work by the way, I applaud your stamina) dont and most of the people who care dont. I never thought I'd see people like Ash, Emma or others troll but this is what they're reduced to because of this place.
You lot can enjoy your meaningless lives but I'm out. I just went overseas and saw the fucking world and it was awesome. Try it sometime. Forget about some fucking band that doesn't give a shit about you and your woes in some forum. They're too busy rolling around in $100 bills.
Enjoy yourselves in this pit of self loathing and depreciation.

totally agree. you can count the number of people who post anything on here with any relevance or substance on one hand.
it shows how bad this place has got when the only decent discussion threads in the barracks are the football thread and the movie thread, and even those have no brain posts.

well, i had the attention span.. ;) mmh, i cant really say much seeing as i am one of these people that hangs around in the ´Man, what happened? Ver. Who the fuck cares´ threads. believe me or not, i dont do it because i like postwhoring, i do it because i wanna talk with people on here. okay, many of the subjects we talk about are pointless, but hey, we have fun.
and i have no illusions that the band cares about us. in some bigger way they do, im sure. they care for their ´group´ of fans, not a single person.
tough, i still love them because of their music. the music gave me so much, how could they give me more. true, i do hang around in the dirty threads but in the end, its all about the music.
you can call me a hypocrite because of that, but as you said, you´re just another one of those ´people over the fucking internet´

if i wanna talk about serious stuff, i go to another site. unfortunatly, most of my friends there dont care much for LP, so i came here when i wanna talk about them. and that works for me.

it's unfortunate that there aren't any (or at least a few) threads which require some in depth discussion. i have a few threads which i stick to and post in, and yes i'll admit, some of them are ridiculous, however at times i have caught myself thinking i wish there were threads with more "substance" in which i could post in.
in all fairness, with the age differences and the amount of IQ (or lack of in some cases) people have, not everyone is going to be too worried about threads with substance.
this is not to say i'm having a go at you, quite the opposite, i think it was a bold move standing up and speaking your mind, and as mentioned, at times i quite agree with your thoughts about the boards.
i suppose this is the one good thing about the internet, you can simply just get up and walk away from it, if you feel the need to. it's true as you said, you can make wonderful friends off here, but a majority of people you won't ever know/meet so why should you have to put up with their shit, right?
if this is your final curtain call, so be it - at least you bowed out with dignity :)

ok, so you're right. I've read the whole thing and I can agree that the threads I see mostly don't have much meaning and I don't really enjoy them but don't be so rude to ppl. you know, some of us are beginners (or noobs, whatever) which are probably 13-14 years old (btw I'm 15 and I'm here for almost a mounth now) and you gotta give 'em a chance, not to abuse them. let them have fun :D and one more thing... yesterday I realized that my LP mania was gone. I know you don't care about it but that's my opinion and I don't care if you don't agree. respect the others, no one did anything wrong to you! (probably)
I know I'm right, you dont have to tell me. Was I being rude to you in that first post? Well, I dont care. I've been through rude and apathetic and all kinds of shit here and if you cant take 'rude' on a fucking internet forum just dont come here. I wasn't jumping into their threads and abusing them, apart from tonight, I was just commenting on the complete lack of substance here, fun or not. I wasn't saying it's not fun for some people, just that it's mind-blowingly boring for those with an IQ above 5.
I'm done with this.

Dont get me wrong, I dont mean to troll or shit all over threads with any substance. Dont shy away from smart conversation, it's just what these boards need. If you create a meaningful thread with a good topic, you should never be criticized for it, that's the last thing I want.

Alot of the people on this board should accept that you're right on most of things you've written. But like you said, the message getting out to the people who's main posts contain 'LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL roflcopt3r iz aw3som3' is pretty unlikely. That said, there are alot of variations in people who use these boards, and there should be something for everyone, but there is a huge lack of discussion (or half way decent) threads that people can post in.
Times have changed. I can't speak for what this board was like years ago, as i only recently joined. But like the rest of the world, things do change. And exactly like the 'real' world the internet has followed and most probably declined. In my opinion anyway. And seen as these boards are supposed to be a community, every village has its idiot(s). Unfortunately it seems to be in the plural in this board.
A huge majority of the people on this board are sick and tired of the superficial shite that ends up as threads filling up the boards. I'm not going to pretend i don't post shit most of the time, because i do. I normally stick to a couple of threads, and am just bemused by the rest of the crap people bless the boards with. The simple fact is there isn't any substance or threads for people to post in. And in the rare times that a decent thread is posted, it dies before most people have time to see it.
I hope at least some of this post makes sense, it has been a long time that i've had to use more than about 50 characters, and i thank you for that. And i hope you don't leave this place forever, we need some people to save us from the 'what are you eating' threads.

I am in complete agreement with you. That very reason is where a lot of the "old schooler vs. everyone else" came from. It's the very reason why I convinced Kieran to make a comeback (although it was all too brief). It has gotten a bit better, but mostly because a few of the post whores got scared away by the confrontations in the Barracks. Is there a solution for it? In a perfect world, yes. But as you pointed out, this is the internet, and everyone is going to post what they want. I'm to the point where I have to ignore 98% of what is posted. It sucks, and I'm pissed that it can't be as great as it used to be. I realize this response had been all over the place, and I apologize for my lack of clarity. I've gotten about an hour of sleep in the last 3 days (newborn, woohoo!) so I'm rather out of it.
Just sum it up to say I totally agree with you, and I wish it didn't suck so horribly.

Matt- ever since i first joined in March 2003, i've had so called oldschoolers getting on my nerves, being mean to people when it isn't necessary, and waffling on about how all the good people are gone, and how shit isn't the same as it once was.
I'm now 21 and one of the few people who graduated to being an oldschooler the hard way(not just by fucking off to make a comeback for a few days and lording about). i bitch about people, i 'troll'. so do a lot of us.
so your friends are fucking gone mostly, life changes. people move on. saying what you said isn't novel, it's just a rehashing of everything previous members have said before when they've had the time to. if you want change then fucking pull your own finger out. i like you generally, from what little of you i have been exposed to, but this thread is just the same as everyone else's. get some fucking originality and stop whining about how good this place was once, all of you who still do that.

Don't blame the people, every forums has it shares of dumbass - blame the rules, blame the lack of moderators around here. I have seen like about 2 or 3 moderators/ admins around - this is not enough for a big message board like this. It's not that old schoolers are better or new commers are all shithead, it's just about how this board should be controled. It takes months to delete a spammer,flaming is everywhere, reporting is a joke - wot should j00 expectzzzz theen lolxDD!!111? Tighten the rules and PLEASE more moderators who REALLY work, that will be the best solution.

i've seen the exact same thing happen on other sites (thats why i'm here more than there now, all my friends left because of some huge fight that broke out, it got so bad that the member that started it started calling people at home and at work, harrassing them, threatening them and much more. we were a pretty tight knit community before that) and the site im talking about is completely different from this one in every aspect, except maybe, that there's idiots there too.
i think the real problem is that this message boarding gets old after a while. you want it to be like it used to be but when you sign in, you see the same boring ass things being talked about over and over.
at least on this board, i havent had to read the word "drama" fifty gazillion f*cking times......

Matt, I agree with everything you said. It is the people like you that I miss.
I used to spend ALL of my free time here on the LPMB and in the LPCR. This place was, as lame as it sounds, like home. The people that I talked to on here were amazing. Unfortunately, I have since lost contact with most of them.
When I first came here, I was young. I probably got on the nerves of some people, and I apologize for doing so. However, I do miss the meaningful discussions that used to take place here.
I wish I could sign on one day and everything would be back to the way it was in 2001-2003. But, that will never happen. :(

Yeah I have only been hear for this month and have to say the Barracks really does have some shitty threads. Dont actually come here very much to be honest as there arnt many interesting threads to have a say in.
First post, everything said is true.
That would have been ten times better than it was if you said, "it's time for Disco_Stu to boogaloo."

Hahaha! I wish I'd said that now.
Anyway, I'm not going to sit here and reply to everyone, I really cant be bothered. I put forward my opinion, you put forward yours. Sure, I could've tried making a thread about something good and wholesome but there's a 90% chance that without me looking after it constantly and posting a whole bunch it would just slip and slide away.
To be honest, I had fun writing that whole rant, especially because I was drunk at the time, but I think I most of all enjoying stirring up a whole bunch of shit around here and getting people a little fired up. Especially that Joanna person or whatever. Most of you in this thread replied with some reasonable responses, not one word answers or random nonsense. Maybe that's all I was after. As tempted as I am to reply to the good ones and kick up some more shit, it's probably a waste of time so I'll do a Mick and pretty much leave.
If anyone wants to say hi, ask Ash, she knows emails etc.
Good night and good luck.
Oh, and Helen, your post was the one I most wanted to reply to so I'll put in a quick one. Dont think I didn't start as nothing here too, we all did, we all go through this shit. It's like a new job, if you've been around longer you get a little more respect and dont get the shit work. Not that a forum is like a job but there can be some parallels. I know life changes, everything does but it doesn't mean I cant say something about it. Plus, why not start a thread like this? It's like trolling or saying something annoying to someone. You're going to get a REACTION. Someone will snap and say something back, that's what I wanted. That's what I got, but I'm not going to sit here and cultivate it all, it's a little last hurrah and I had fun with it. That's all that was important to me when I wrote it. My fun. Not everyone else's. Like Mick said, I'm not here to make heaps of friends anymore. I've got a whole bunch. I'm here to have a bit of fun with myself. If someone really wants to talk to me, they can find me and do it. Dont take it all personally, like you said to me, from what I've seen of you, you're a nice person but I just wanted to vent my spleen. And, so it seems, start a small trend. Hooray.

No one gives a shit because this forum is ruled in a shittiest way I have ever seen. You know you can flame anyone and nothing will happen to you, and on the other hand, anyone can flame you and you can do nothing about it. I say again, the people everywhere are the same, what we need is better moderation - or more, may I say (jesus christ, i saw people post crap everywhere, i report, and nothing is done to fix that, how the hell can this forum avoid being shitty, then?)

You've clearly not read the rules, you can flame to your hearts content in the Barracks unless the person reports you. Liz has to singlehandedly moderate this forum, she can't do everything and it's not her fault. The people who made these boards don't even give a shit anymore and that is a problem but it's not the only one - people come in and post shit and not many people actually give a damn and so it's not going to change.

I have read the rules and I know about the Barracks' flaming rules. I am also aware that you guys are talking about the barrack, but I'm not talking about the barrack only, I'm talking about the whole board. You gotta admit that the rules are not being done properly in this MB, which leads to the disrespectful attitude from the members. If the members have more respect to the MB, they will have more respect to such forums with looser rules like the Barracks and will consider their words/ choice of post better.
I didn't blame Liz, I will say Liz and some other have done quite a good job, but I pointed out that there were only 2 or 3 mods/ admins often stop by this forum and surely it's not enough. One mod/admin can not finish the job requiring about 6 or 7 mods, no matter how great he or she is. Even you pointed out that she gotta singlehandle this MB, that's so not fair.
People post shit because of their lack of respect for this MB. I will take myself for example, I never post shit around other forums, but I will here - I don't have enough respect for it, why should I treasure it and try to make it work properly.
Ruling a MB is like ruling a nation. You can't blame the bottom - the people, the problems always come from the top - the rules. Tighten the rules or find new mods that actually work (along with the active mods/admins now), make LPMB members respect the MB, and you will see change in the Barracks too.
But then, if you say that who made this board don't give a shit, then really, it's their fault, not the new or old people, and there's no solution available at all.

Im contracting myself here a bit (as I guilty of doing it) but words like "fuck" should be censored (and this is coming from miss potty mouth herself-but thats in real life).
In another forum Im in it is censored out but words like shit, bastard, asshole can be written just not the more hardcore swear words, if you know what I mean. Im used it and actually felt silly using the word 'fuck' on here.
Hopefully that makes sense, lol I feel like Im sounding old fashion.

I have read the rules and I know about the Barracks' flaming rules. I am also aware that you guys are talking about the barrack, but I'm not talking about the barrack only, I'm talking about the whole board. You gotta admit that the rules are not being done properly in this MB, which leads to the disrespectful attitude from the members. If the members have more respect to the MB, they will have more respect to such forums with looser rules like the Barracks and will consider their words/ choice of post better.

And you think if the rules get tightened up and enforced it would make it better? Not necessarily. I honestly don't think it has that much to do with the mods why we have idiots coming in and talking crap, I really don't.
Oh and as for the swearing thing, I completely disagree.

*initial very long post*
I wrote a long response to this, but then my login timed out and I lost it. so I'll try to get my point across in a shorter fashion.
you and I have both been here forever and so, even though we've never really talked, I agree with you pretty wholeheartedly. there used to be a lot of interesting people here, true. in my opinion, among internet forums like this, that was an anomaly and we were lucky to have been involved.
problem is, those interesting people were only one subdivision of this forum. the postwhores were here too, but we never noticed them because we had something else to focus on. and that something else has since packed up and left.
still, I think there are a few diamonds to be found in this coal mine. but you've said to Helen that you aren't really interested in finding them.
you know, i havent been around for very long so i dont know how things used to be, but every attempt at serious discussion i've made here, failed miserably. if you try to say anyting as a noob here, you get attcked or belittled by the so called old schoolers, so i pretty much stay out of the barrack altogether unless im really bored, then im not above sharing what i had for breakfast...
if i wanna talk about serious stuff, i go to another site. unfortunatly, most of my friends there dont care much for LP, so i came here when i wanna talk about them. and that works for me.
sorry to see you go.
I hate to think that somehow I've perpetuated this "old-schoolers are elitist" silliness. I'll talk to almost anyone, silly or serious.
Those threads aren't discussions. They're a way for people to get their post counts up. Besides, all of them could just be put in SWOYM anyway.
oh, the days when my beloved SWOYM wasn't a toilet.
I'm quite new here and have been very reluctant to reply to some threads because I see a lot of the "old schoolers" posting. I've seen a lot of disgust coming from the old schoolers towards new people, hence my hesitation.
When I first joined I saw some of the signatures with "old schoolers, assemble" I was thinking 'sweet' because I'm 30 (which I'm figuring is very old school compared to some of the younger people here lol). I thought it would be a nice way to get to know some people here that were on my age/maturity level. However, clicking on the signature took me to a thread that made me realize it's an elitist group. I wouldn't be welcome there, either.
So where am I left? I'm left to read posts that are moving. It's my only way to get to know anybody. I'm totally left feeling like I shouldn't even bother with you old schoolers because you wouldn't have me - not because I wouldn't try.
I have substance, but I feel I have to get to know people slowly through the goofy or simple threads.
Anyway, that's my rant and two cents. I'd love to get to know people here, but being new here I hope you get where I'm coming from. It's hard to jump into someone's little clique.
the "old-schoolers" thing is more along the lines of how long someone's been here, not how old they are. I'm sorry that you misinterpreted that. to be fair though, a lot of people are very welcoming here. most of the people in that old-schoolers thread, I didn't know until some seven weeks ago. and I just jumped in and said hello. that's all it takes, friend! and by the way, I'm just about 28, so I understand your pain. ;)
I wish I could sign on one day and everything would be back to the way it was in 2001-2003. But, that will never happen. :(
oh Ambria, you and your wishing upon a star. :rolleyes: :D
yeah for one, let's get rid of this white-background bullshit.

I can think of at least half a dozen people offhand that could be upped to mod status. Most of them even better candidates than myself :rolleyes:
I agree mods are required. Not ego-filled attention whores like Jason. More people willing to take some time out to make a fucking difference, like yourself.
Tiernan: My stay was too brief? My computer decided to die to power surge, so I suppose I'm lacking in the activity department, my apologies. Hopefully I'll fix that sometime soon, but as you know, it isn't my number one priority at the moment.
Stu: You seem like a decent guy, as frustrated with the direction of the boards as many of us. But rants don't fix things. Sure, they rock the boat a little, but in the end it won't do much. Hell, my own efforts thus far have only put a small dent in the spammery, and I am as a God :rolleyes:
Anyways, if you leave, that's on you. Some of us will be sticking around to drive the message home. At the end of the day, at least someone will get an education out of it.
The boards in general: I'm still here. *nods* That is all.

Oh, and Helen, your post was the one I most wanted to reply to so I'll put in a quick one. Dont think I didn't start as nothing here too, we all did, we all go through this shit. It's like a new job, if you've been around longer you get a little more respect and dont get the shit work. Not that a forum is like a job but there can be some parallels. I know life changes, everything does but it doesn't mean I cant say something about it. Plus, why not start a thread like this? It's like trolling or saying something annoying to someone. You're going to get a REACTION. Someone will snap and say something back, that's what I wanted. That's what I got, but I'm not going to sit here and cultivate it all, it's a little last hurrah and I had fun with it. That's all that was important to me when I wrote it. My fun. Not everyone else's. Like Mick said, I'm not here to make heaps of friends anymore. I've got a whole bunch. I'm here to have a bit of fun with myself. If someone really wants to talk to me, they can find me and do it. Dont take it all personally, like you said to me, from what I've seen of you, you're a nice person but I just wanted to vent my spleen. And, so it seems, start a small trend. Hooray.
go bugger off then! end of hurrah!
and ftr, it really annoyed me that everyone as 'oldschool' as me or over just jumped in your little boat applauding you like fucking oprah or something. so we'll disagree like adults and be done with it, hmm?

As far as I can see, and I may be a bit biased, but it did seem a little sarcastic seeing as Ash and I are reasonably close. It wasn't on a whim that I chose her, this her reaction to a barb of a post. How was Helen to know what our relationship was? And considering Ash was only playing around when she posted about the whole asking thing, with a smiley, I can understand the reaction.

Dont get me wrong, I dont mean to troll or shit all over threads with any substance. Dont shy away from smart conversation, it's just what these boards need. If you create a meaningful thread with a good topic, you should never be criticized for it, that's the last thing I want.
What these boards "need" is for people to stop trying to turn them into a flourishing social scene.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. This place is an html-coded bag of shit, but after three years of people whining about how it's going down the tube, isn't it time to call it quits? I haven't had legitimate fun here since 2004, but the problem is everybody who posts is dumb as a fucking rock, and all that the smart people do is complain about all the dumb people.

I'l make my few points and check back tomorrow. Why? Because what's been said here applies to me, thus I'm scared to say anything at all anymore, on any forum. So know I'm not bitching about just this one, mainly because this is what, my 31st post (Edit: 73rd, dumbass. >_>)? I wasn't here in the old days, so there's not much for me to bitch about, really.
A) I was one of the "n00bz" who did jump right in with a "Hi how are ya nice to meet ya!", and was made to feel very unwelcome. The user told me my thread was useless because there was already one on there. Okay, if I can't *see* it, how do I know it's there? It conveiniently popped up right after mine was made. This wan't even in the barracks, and I felt that reporting him was useless.
B) The people I did "hang out" with (as far as one can on the 'net) may have been those with IQ's of peanuts, but as was previously stated, only because there was no intelligent conversation going on. I mostly stuck to the "humor" threads (The Chuck Shinoda thread, "Mike stop lurking and post dammit", etc), because those were the only places I felt welcome.
If anyone has seen my previous posts, it does seem I'm a "n00b" with the IQ of said peanut, but I won't repeat what's already been repeated. I'll also go ahead and admit to my own stupidity: I'm capable of ENGAGING in such a conversation, just not STARTING one.
I'll gladly admit any stupidity of my own, if you see some, point it out. I'll also admit to hypocrasy. If you DO find/start a brain challenging thread, notify me and I'll show you what I'm capable of. That being said: Please don't hurt me...

I don't think reporting someone for that would do any good even if there were mods around these days, mostly because they were doing the right thing by correcting you. We have this thing called a search tool, if you want to make a new thread try using it first.

I get that, but "There's already one of those" and a redirection would have been enough. I don't mind being corrected, as I've stated, I have my moments of stupidity, as that, but there's no need to bite my head off.

If they're just going to base it on who are the most active, it's going to be the people who post in the "what time is it" etc threads, aren't they.

I never thought I'd be posting here again. Most of you probably don't even remember me, but I was §piral/::Fallout:: (http://archive.forums.linkinpark.com/member.php?userid=96319) a few years ago. I would've logged in on that account except that it appears to have been gobbled up by whatever abomination of a registration system is in place now. >.<
The past...I think what made this place so special to the people that were on it was that it mattered to so many people. At least for me, this was the first forum I ever joined...where I made my first online friends. I remember the first summer I was on here, where topics would have hundreds of replies in a day. Usually it was just from friends conversing with each other, or chatting on some random topic. I remember there were all sorts of fun topics and people would make one to announce they were going to bed, or to discuss what they had for lunch. There was alot of spam, alot of pointless topics then too, but back then it was fun. Maybe it was because you were doing it with your friends...it wasn't about what you were talking about, it was about what the people you were talking about it with.
Or maybe that was just me. Who knows? But I do know that at the time this place mattered to many people. At least for myself and most of the people I talked with at the time...during the summer the first thing we'd do is come on here, chat with friends, and see what new stuff had been posted. During the rest of the year we did that as soon as we got home from school (this WAS a long time ago...or seems to be >.<). For better or worse, at the time coming on here and talking to each other was the best part of our day. And it must've been the same for others too, cause why else would they have spent so much time on here?
Now...well, I haven't been here in three years, so I can only guess at what's gone on. Maybe some people left from drama as I did, and maybe some people moved on. Maybe some people kept in contact with friends made here by other means and no longer needed to be on here to talk with them, or maybe they drifted apart like I have with the people I used to talk with on here. Maybe this place just jumped the shark and outlived the great community it once hosted. Who am I to say after being gone for so long?
But it's been fun reminiscing. :)

I fully agree with you
I used to visit LPMB in 2002, 2003, 2004, and in 2007 I registered myself
In the time that I participated on the black bords, I felt like, there still has ppl interesting about true music and to talk about IT.
So I'll not come here and say I've never posted on those threads, cause yeah I did it
Somehow, nowadays I just lost my interest of being here
Some of my friends don't come here anymore, I feel totally lost
Everytime I come here to get a new from Linkin Park
I just find useless threads....
And you might be right about the band, I don't believe they still come here to read threads about dirty conversations... (actually I totally disagree with those threads)
Most of us don't even know Linkin Park, the point of the board is talk about the music we love, but some "new" persons don't even know what's Hybrid Theory, so they talk about the members in a "dirty" way
That pisses me off...
Yeah I can be wrong, but this is my opinion, btw nice to meet you , I've never seen you here before, but I'm glad you appered and said what I've always wanted to say

Why the fuck are you people complaining? So its not like the old days. Times change, Get over it and Move on. All your energy complaining about a fucking message board on the internet? Get a life. Actually put all your energies into complaining or trying to change something in the real world, who knows you might make a difference.
So things are not going the way you want them too. Well tough titties. You do not own these boards, they are a public forum, open to everyone and all opinions. Stop acting like spoilt children.
Yes there are shitty threads, But some people like these and so what. You do not have to participate in these threads. Not everyone is going to want the same things as you do, this is what life is about - differences.
Flames_Go_Higher, you are the worst person on these boards,I have read some of your posts, on hearing about you, you jump on every little thing that you do not like. Why? So what if people are different to you. Live with it. You are very quick to judge and accuse, yet you pretty much do the same thing yourself. Get over it and get a life. And you want to be a mod? oh dear god no. This place will be dead in a month if you were one. You would ban everyone just because they were different to you. And there would be no fun threads for other people.
On that note, it would be nice to see some intelligent threads on here again, so instead of just sitting here complaining about it, go find something interesting and post it. Get off your asses and do something instead of just moaning. It getting old and boring.
Oh and you can all jump on me and complain about me, but I don't care, because I only came in here to say this. Goodbye.

Geeze, "was still young at that time"? You're making me feel old! I'm not old, damnit, I just feel old...at 22. :p
I would've posted before, but I didn't exactly care to return just to post the song I'm listening to, what I wore today, or a random word. I can do those things on my own forum. I don't suppose there was even a point to posting here. The past is the past, but it was a good past. It was still nice to reminisce. It seems like forever ago, when there was nothing more important on my mind than who was going to be on here to talk to. Maybe that's just youth (realtive to 22...I'm not old, damnit!).

this is what life is about - differences. Goddamn, if that isn't the most stupid thing I've heard all month. "Differences" isn't what life is about. Differences are just something everyone has to learn to tolerate and maybe embrace, but mostly just tolerate. Enjoying your time here while it lasts is a much more acceptable answer to "what is life about?"
The problem with those threads are that they are numerous and their quality of content is very low and simplistic. I suppose they can sometimes be fun, but they don't offer much in the way of substance. People complain about those posts, because they're not going to do anything to lure in any other "interesting personalities" to replace those that have since either left or cut down significantly on posting.

I think, though, that some people here spend too much time focusing on what it is here that they don't like, instead of ignoring it and enjoying the aspects of the forum that appeal to them.
and it really is that easy. if you noticed my posting habits, generally I don't post in new threads very often. I rarely look at the Barracks index at all. I just do searches for all the threads I've already posted in and stick to them. if I run out of material, I might follow people with whom I get along to the threads they frequent. or, only then, I might check the Barracks for new interesting topics. I dodge the filler entirely.
also, I've heard more than one new person complain that they were made to feel unwelcome by people of our ilk. the interesting personalities of which you speak may very well be driven to those filler threads by that same behavior. we've had at least one person in this thread admit to that.

There's only two reasons veterans still post here, even if occasionally: Nostalgia and the people they know.
The latter is dwindling away day by day, either due to no one they know being here or being unable to reregister or log in to their old account (I know three that have had that problem), and the former is wearing pretty thin.
I was just saying that the filler/substance ratio is lopsided in favor of the filler and the filler stuff here won't help anyone be inclined to post. And that's regardless of the big fat meanies who post here.
I mean, they were still around when *I* first registered and it didn't really stop me or whoever else from registering. It's not like vets just suddenly became dicks to newbs. They were around when I first registered here, they were around before and after the whole Naveen bullshit, and they're still here too, to some extent. Other boards thrive and pretty much each of them have more of those types of posters. It's just that here it's the content that's lacking any interest.

Geeze, "was still young at that time"? You're making me feel old! I'm not old, damnit, I just feel old...at 22. :p
I would've posted before, but I didn't exactly care to return just to post the song I'm listening to, what I wore today, or a random word. I can do those things on my own forum. I don't suppose there was even a point to posting here. The past is the past, but it was a good past. It was still nice to reminisce. It seems like forever ago, when there was nothing more important on my mind than who was going to be on here to talk to. Maybe that's just youth (realtive to 22...I'm not old, damnit!).
If it pleases you so, though, I'll make it a point to do this more often. :p
and i'm only 19 =P still, i was young then!
i understand you point =) but it's always cool to see you post here from time to time. i still got the share a song thread goin! =P

I've looked around and posted some, but there's not much to say really. I don't really know most of the people here now, and it seems to have kinda slowed down since I was here. I guess that's part of what this topic is about. I'm doing my best though, and I'm making it a point to at least come on daily...just for you. =P

LOL @ Helen...
The first six months or so I was here I stuck to the Linkin Park forums. At the time alot of us were actually afraid to post here in the Barracks because we had this idea that the regulars would make fun of us for being LP fans or something, lol. I wanted to show what a huge LP fan I was back then, so I started out going by LPloyalist. >.<
Later on though I'd get over it and the last two years I posted almost completely in the Barracks. I went by ZoNeOuT, Stacked Actor, §piral, ::Fallout::, and then §piral again.
Man, I miss name/title changes.

I've never been able to come up with a name I really liked, and I even had help from a friend on ::Fallout::. With my own forum I just go by Jason as a username. If I'm stuck with creating bad names I might as well just use my real name.
Not sure what other Jason you'd be refering to, but I'll do my best to be...uh, different from him anyways. :p
Nice to meet you Jason, I'm Tiernan. :)

Ah, I've never met a Tiernan before. Awesome! I have a thing for names I've never heard before or are unusual. I'd rather have a cool name like that than something tired and boring like what I have.
I steered clear from Lyricists Corner. I'm not sure if I ever posted there at all, to be honest. Trust me, you don't want me to try to make a song/poem sorta thing. I tried a few summers ago and it was just pathetic. :p I'm better at small stories and scenes, but I haven't had the time to even wrote those in a long time.
older? =P
woot! i feel special now! come and hang out in the old schoolers thread and stuff and you'll get to see more people =)
Yeah, older...and I'm older still. Not sure that qualifies me as being old school, but I'll check the topic out. I'm depending on you to protect me if I'm not old school enough though! :p
Edit: Actually, could you give me a link? And when did they add a hundred other forums that you have to search through for things? O_o

The Barracks awards were stupid last time they did it (no offense to those that went forth with it, I just think it was ill-advised since the board has dropped off A LOT) and it would be 100x that much now.

These were the forums around the time I joined up. 114 registered members online.
http://web.archive.org/web/20020527174457/http://forums.linkinpark.com/
This is the forums on drugs, or whatever they're on. 10 registered members online, and that's one of the higher numbers I've seen. I remember the Barracks Awards from a long time ago and they were awesome, but I agree with Widge. If someone were to do something like that now, it'd have to be really scaled down. I've wanted to do something similar on my own forums, but haven't for the same reason: just not big enough atm.
and? older isn't that bad, you know. sometimes it's better, like in my case!

Yeah, older isn't that bad until you run out of old, and then you have to start going with dead. That one isn't good at all. Unless you're like...undead! :p

Maybe so... that was the whole reason we did a vote first of who would like them back. We had a lot of votes and 90% was for it.
And that time round we had new people getting voted instead of the same people who win every year. I found that boring seeing the same names all the time.
