Crowquills Mod status. (single, members, quote, band, Lute)

Hmmm... Crowquill.

On a technical level, I don't doubt his modship. He does a great job of cleaning up rubbish, he contributes a lot to the forum. He runs competitions, makes band write-ups and generally tries to keep the forum alive. That's more than a lot of mods do.

But on a music/general level, he isn't good. He is fairly biased in music and pretty poor at arguing... a bit close-minded. I'm not going to forget when he tried to claim that I hated Metallica like a typical metalhead simply because I said I disliked Hammett even though I said I loved Hetfield. He simply wouldn't take my word for it that I liked Metallica. And I remember the whole 'every prog band sounds like they're trying to be too technical' claim followed by a pitiful list of prog bands that he'd actually heard.

I don't care about the Avril Lavigne fetish though. :p

As for Musicbanter... as of late, it's not a great music forum. Sure there's the odd jewel here, and one can boast about its size until the cows come home, but it is a pretty unbalanced forum full of biased people. There are the same arguments constantly going around and around - and that's only in the rock/metal section. Imagine if the rock/metal section was combined with rap/hip-hop... it would be worse still.

Seriously he won't even consider prog albums for the top 100 list...But he's still does the job of a mod the best.

Are you sure that wasn't me?

And your complaints of MB are very valid, especially since you've been trying to improve it in that year we haven't seen your face.
