Yours and everybody's contributions of any kind don't ever necessarily warrant a reward. Contribute what you want to offer regardless of what you get back. Life lesson #1.

2) Shocked? Bitter? At MB? Having those feelings about a web forum is mos def not healthy. It reflects your feelings about all existence. /Life lesson #2

3) I'm a fucking idiot for responding or even reading your post here. I'd rather stop living than be emotionally affected by whatever words people express. Luckily I'm not emotionally affected by that. But I don't like seeing intelligent humans like yourself being too affected by words or lack thereof, and it seems that you are and that's why I bothered to type all this shit.

Okay, I'm done being a didactic bastard for now. I apologize for being a dick if that's what I've just done. If it helps: I haven't looked at MB for a while b/c I'm busy for a change. I may not be back for a while after this. But I'll logon again one day probably soon. I like MB but what people post or don't post here won't ever affect my emotions in a serious way. That shouldn't ever happen to anybody who truly gives a shit about their short, ever-waning life. See wut I mean?

What's your question?

I'm just suggesting improvements to Musicbanter, like the thread title.

[Janszoon]

My suggestion for improving Music Banter is that it needs more Engine.

Just sounded a bit like you were on some drugs.

I like this post engine, and think your cooler for it. I hope this gives you a real-life self esteem boost

Aww shucks, guys.
Now I suggest we all go post or not post something and keep MB great.

I don't agree with everything that you are trying to emit, but I see where your basically coming from.

I like to see other points of view and opinions expressed, whether I completely agree or not. Good post Engine!

This has probably been said already, but;

The site is generally quite good, it just needs more contribution.
Would be better if there were more active members, in my opinion.

I wonder would getting rid of the shoutbox have a positive impact on this place? Some certain members seem to spend most of their time here posting in the shoutbox and not contributing much elsewhere on the site and maybe if the shoutbox was removed there might be a little bit more discussion around here.

Also the shoutbox seems to be the source of a lot of negative drama around here, for example the feud between Boo Boo and Captain Caveman which seemed to dominate the shoutbox a couple of years ago and resulted in bans. There's already been a few other cases this year which spiralled into meaningless arguing.

Sure it's good for a quick chat sometimes but in my view it seems to have a more negative impact on this place than positive. Anybody have any other opinions?
