As a newbie, I'm offended!!! (just kidding)

i'm sain that the post count was between 10- 50 post, it was likeearning you avatar here, and i partialy understand why because theres alot of newbies that just post crappy threads in the wrong areas with airy topics and get flamed at in them. not that i have a problem with the newbies,just the stupid topics less intelligent noobs put up in the forum.

I agree with what you're saying but the reason newbies make bad threads is because that's exactly why we call them "newbies."

Newbies should be tracked on their threads until they have at least enough posts to be able to be let go.

As a "noob" I have to say there hasn't been many worthwhile threads to respond to. My pathetic attempts to create conversation have gotten me no where. I thought this site was about music, not Paris Hiltons' recent photo shoot

Well the thing is, the threads you've made, we've heard and replied to it all before.

And you would find some threads you liked, if you searched for them.

On the topic though, I have pro's and con's. Pro's are you don't get all these people coming just to advertise then never come back again. Same with those who don't even advertise, but rather post pointless crap.

The con though is some people want to find a song, and the Song Help sub-forum would be a waste since it's mainly newbies who use it. If they can't make a thread, they can't use the forum, the forum is wasted.

I dunno, I don't think it's that big-a-deal, do you?

^ I rather enjoy the stupid threads, H.I.M is a bloody god send, I really look forward to his posts.

As for my fellow Lon-Dumper's threads, I know nothing about Indie or Electronic music so I really don't have too much to add to help you out.

I'm sorry for my ignorance

Well, I have a hard time sinking my teeth into many of the forums/topics here. If I'm repeating what others have written, its b/c I'm new. I'm not going to waste hours of my life reading posts from the sites' inception to know if this site is, imo, worthwhile. My point is when I went into the Paris Hilton thread, how many people were talking about her album????? No, it was all about the azzzz (don't get me wrong I have a sense of humor, I listen to Jamiroquai!!). And speaking of Paris, her remix of Rapture got me to download it... I feel so dirty now.
