I prefer hot women pulling me off.

MicShazam 10-24-2018 01:55 PM

In this day and age, hot women can most definitely have beards.

I like beer presents

MicShazam 10-24-2018 02:41 PM

I actually got a beer present recently. Pretty good, especially these:

Like most German beer, they're inoffensive. But that sweet, caramely, well rounded flavor is just divine. Would definitely down a few more of these.

Doubles are a little much, I can handle maybe one on my Busch conditioned palette. I used to love the heavy whites from Germany though, like Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen.

Yeah, one of these days.

We need more Frownlands

Frownland 10-26-2018 10:25 PM

Idk about that but if I had a few clones I'd start a really sick band.

Oriphiel 10-26-2018 10:38 PM

I'm serious

I think I've finally started to get the essence of Frown

The world is a joke. I wanna be the punchline. I wanna stick a saxophone reed up my ass and fart out an album. Because I can. Because **** you.

I'm not drunk. You're drunk

Try to get people to understand the most basic concepts, and they'd rather listen to themselves masturbating over a manniquin. Logic is such a fat ass, while convenience is a sexy hedgehog

Gotta go faaaasssttttt

MFW the ass is too fat.

Oriphiel 10-26-2018 10:52 PM

I'm not jkking

I wanna **** on a polo shirt and throw it into a burning effigy of some rich fucck

**** politics. **** religion. Everything is an infomercial for ball cream and trashbags

I wanna eat a music composition book and **** it out knto a college professor's desk

Frownland 10-26-2018 10:55 PM

Just don't **** on any of my polo shirts. They're on the verge of being full of holes as it is.

Otherwise I feel thee.

Oriphiel 10-26-2018 11:02 PM

Holes are for fuccking

Ehich is why holy things always **** everyone over

We fight, when we agree on sooo much. It makes me sad.

Oriphiel 10-27-2018 05:42 AM

The world sucks

Rich people suck

Poor people suck

But the rarity of awesomeness gives it even more value when it occurs, like a rare pepe

Be awesome

Do awesome

All men are brothers

The awfulness of polo shirts are what make non-polo shirts so beautiful

It's all about p e r s p e c t i v e

grindy 10-27-2018 05:55 AM

I wear Polo shirts to work sometimes.
Used to hate them, came to accept them.
Tell me I suck.

Oriphiel 10-27-2018 06:22 AM

Do you pop the collar?

grindy 10-27-2018 06:23 AM

Come on.
No.

Oriphiel 10-27-2018 06:25 AM

Then I can forgive you *hug*

Hey, what's up with the option to set up blog being disabled?

Marie Monday 05-09-2021 04:17 AM

There's no blogging.

adidasss 05-09-2021 04:40 AM

Curious, I wonder if that was ever an active feature. There's some kind of a remnant of an idea in the user CP.

Trollheart 05-09-2021 05:17 AM

If you want to blog, start a journal. It's more or less the same thing. And no longer relies on entries being authorised by the mods.

Mucha na Dziko 05-09-2021 11:29 AM

why so?

Frownland 05-09-2021 11:30 AM

Spite.

Trollheart 05-09-2021 01:08 PM

Blame Biden.

SGR 05-09-2021 03:07 PM

I blame Norg

Trollheart 05-09-2021 04:43 PM

Good call

Yeah so just to give you an actual answer, nobody has improved this place in 15 years. No upgrades to the software have been made, and I think we have little to no communication with the owners (who if I'm not mistaken, are Polish). We are more or less abandoned. If a feature doesn't work, it's very likely it will stay that way.

But as Trollheart noted, the journals section is basically like blogging so if that's what you're looking to do, that's the way to do it.

Guybrush 05-11-2021 04:47 AM

Having so recently resurfaced, I wanted to make a comment.

One of the reasons I left so many years ago was basically the points brought up in the first post here. I had made several requests to owners/Yac that they do stuff like update forum software. I'm pretty sure I even offered to do it for them for free, although I did realize it was unlikely they'd give me the logins. Anyways, I did my share of crying about this but was told that the meager profits MB generated meant that updates etc. didn't make sense from a cost perspective. Also, they were afraid of unintentionally breaking things.

It pissed me off because what they're basically doing is exploiting the community, us fine guys and gals. We generate the content that will show up in google searches or otherwise pull people in and generate ad-clicks that doesn't just come from bots. I didn't think a BBPress update was too much to ask. In a way, if you care too much about MB in its current state, you'll suffer for that. It's sad how they run it that way.

The logical conclusion to the problem for me at that time was an organized exodus from musicbanter. It's easy peasy. Give me or someone else here who's a little tech savvy half an hour or two and we'll have musicbanter 2.0 up and running on a new domain. Possibly a patreon or something similar could be set up to cover costs, although it can be done quite cheap (hosting isn't that expensive and there's lots of free forum software). People could bring over the content they wanted to preserve.

I suggested this emphatically, but the idea didn't catch. Maybe some saw it as mutiny, although I feel that loyalty to the community could align well with a migration to someplace else. Staying here is loyalty to advameg and what have they done the last X years to deserve it?

So that has a lot to do with why I left in the first place. Coming back, I see the same old BBPress and I guess we're all lucky it's still browser compatible. Still, it's been nice being back. While I still think the community here SHOULD migrate to something else, I won't bring it up again unless it's on topic :laughing:
