I find myself coming on here, I feel motivated about music but my curiosity drags me this thread, to the member picture gallery to 'the lounge' for checkups. Y'know, I find the majority of you people interesting, I'm interested to learn about you outwith the music chat.

But when I see the embarrassing posts you leave to one another, I vomit in my mouth and just say f*ck the music discussion, I'm away to Last FM, I'm away to Sputnikmusic, I'll text my friend and talk about how an album affected me.

Drop this "I love you, I really like you" fake tripe. You don't know one another. That's the reality, you know one another's internet personas. The new members are the worst for it. So quick to compliment and asslick those they've interacted with one or two times.
I've got the folk on this forum I respect as people: Big3, Goofle, Urban, WWWP, 216, DJ, Sansa, Fred Hale, etc. But y'all need to build up proper connections or observations with people before you start singing their praises like Oliver Twist pleading for more slop.

I don't know, maybe it's me. But I quite liked the music discussion combined with real edge and animosity that brewed between members
Why should you agree with my fu*cking opinion. Disagree, tell me I'm an idiot. Spit on me.

ugh, stop being so lovely dovey and let's get back to being faceless internet characters who are true to who we are. Desperate souls in need of outlet.

Not even reading over what I've wrote, I'm drugged and it feels right.

You must be extremely sad 'n unsatisfied if you post something like this.
But it's not the fault of the people here, to interact so trusting with each other, it's just how the future is. Everything is evolving 24/7, the idealisms of clear deduction, love and respect, instead of premature justice and meaningless hatred for another spread and widen it's circle. Anonymity is dead. Everyone's wearing a mask in real life now, so it's no difference when it comes to the internet. All the people look at there phone 24/7, got locked up in a world they don't even understand, and lose their face in facebook. There are a lot of people in the world, who are not able to really talk to one anymore - as they're always distracted by their smartphone, telling them what to do next. So what is the problem with strangers? We're all strangers, even if we've met in real life. It's gotten easier to deduct who someone is, who posts a massive text like you in a forum of strangers he says he shouldn't care about, but cares enough to write this massive text, than to deduct one's existance, who's staring on a phone 23/7, and 1 hour looking and you, saying "what did you just say?"

James 03-18-2014 07:15 AM

We've had a fair few crazy new members lately *cough*

butthead aka 216 03-18-2014 07:17 AM

:rofl: That's Manky. And I can't decide whether or not to tell you why your response is so hilarious.....

I don't do black dudes. So this is just a lie.....

Trollheart 03-18-2014 08:28 AM

Sigh. Nobody got Plankton's joke. Steph said "say something about me" and he said something about me. You all missed it. It's like "Quick! Call me an ambulance!" "Ok, you're an ambulance!" :D

Manky: I like you but I have to say your attitude, changing from week to week month to month pisses me off. You were the one who said you were fed up wasting your time here and were going off to pursue a real life, and basically sneered at us all as if you were better than us. A real case of "Screw you guys, I'm goin' home!" Then you came back and sort of posted a little (that I saw, but not in your journal sadly) and now you're telling people they shouldn't be blowing sunshine up each other's skirts. What is it to you anyway? I've had my share of people slagging me off; it's nice to have a few compliments.

And while sure, nobody knows anyone I think that apart from maybe one or two who are deliberately maintaining constructed personalities here, most people are pretty honest so what you see here is likely what you get. If you met me you'd recognise the sort of things I say here, my general attitude and the only thing you wouldn't be prepared for is the fact that I have a big orange beard. No, not really. It's green. That's also a lie. I don't have a beard.

But I think it's counterproductive to sneer at people being nice to each other. There are reasons why they're doing that, and anyway isn't there enough hate in the world without encouraging more? If it's insincere that's one thing (the love I mean) but if it's honest I say more power to the people.

Finally, kudos to Neapolitan for his hilarious reply to your Captain Bringdown post. ;)

I don't hate anyone, not at first sight. They have to do something to make me dislike, then really dislike, and finally hate them. In real life as here. I don't think that's a character flaw, I think it's a strength. I'd rather newbies came on here saying "Wow! Everyone seems so nice!" then "You all suck."

Oh, and did you meet Doesntreallymatter, by the way?

whatever..
you know i read something that sounds desperate and think:
"hey, maybe this person needs some nice words",
and hahaha my response is soo hilarious...wtf, srsly.
I can't even agree with the lovey-dovey stuff he said,
as I got kicked in the face and jumped at my throat repeatedly here
and still i just wanted to cheer that person up, ffs.
I'm really not made for this forum ****.
It's just about who's better at kicking who in the nards, obviously..

Urban Hat€monger ? 03-18-2014 08:43 AM

Actually I thought Mankycaaant was spot on with his post.

Nobody cares what you think about us if you've not even been here a week. Neither do I really want to read weekly updates on who you like or who you don't like from anybody no matter how long they've been here.

If you want to prove yourself to us do it by being a good, interesting poster. Impress us with your knowledge about things, not by making tons of kiss assing posts either in here or in the lounge. I don't feel the need to use this thread more than once a year and when I do I at least make an attempt to explain why I feel certain ways about certain people.

This thread when it was used properly was one of the best and most interesting on the forum, now it's just become a boring popularity contest with huge amounts of mind numbingly dull chat in between each entry. Just looking at the couple of pages before Mankycaaant's post, I mean f*cking hell that kind of crap would be scraping the bottom of the barrel in the shoutbox, so what the f*ck is it doing in here?

Paul Smeenus 03-18-2014 09:42 AM

I hope it was obvious that I was kidding. I like Manky.

RoxyRollah 03-18-2014 09:49 AM

Something that is concerning me, and I am gonna address it right motha****in here because I can!

The super new people, like a week new, need to sit down some ****in where. There is a value in observing. But instead it just seems like they either are desperate to fit in, and I do mean desperate or they come across, as being extremely narcissistic and are too involved in themselves to know that they are not that interesting. They maybe friendly, and nice and all that, but as far as interesting goes. No, not so much.

You know, my opinion is not based on anything other then them cramming their mindless posts,gifs, and other bull**** spam in threads that do not pertain to it (see Spam Thread goddammit)down my throat. It's quite obnoxious actually. So stop that ****. By you doing that, you are saying that it's ok not to take some of the threads, and posts seriously, and devalues the thread topic. And that **** is rude. I come here to talk about music, with other liked minded people, not to watch you post your ****in spam, nonsensical comments, or watch you try to pathetically impress people with how much you know about whatever it is you think you know about.
I am afraid, we will lose posters like James because of this. See everybody missed Jame's guts, because the newbies were to busy blowing each other. And the sad thing about that is, y'all just met each other, and nobody has bought anybody a proverbial drink yet,so learn how to use your ****in pm box and blow each other that way.

This thread is called Spill Your Guts, not Spill Your First Impressions Of People.

I waited damn near a ****in year to post in this thread, because I ****in knew I wasn't qualified, to have an opinion on people.

Because people are so desperate to be excepted, and desperate to be liked, and adored, or whatever the **** it is they are after, the forum will end up losing the joy of having quality posts from people like James and Manky. I dunno why you people left what ever **** show forum you were at before you came here, but you are ****in cluttering up MB.

Stick a sock in it for a month or two, and actually learn what this place is like, then come comment.


sssh...ssh...shhh.... stop typing your response to this, SILENCE IS GOLDEN!

FRED HALE SR. 03-18-2014 09:59 AM

I'd like to encourage all the newbies to come here and post about your thoughts. Why should anyone not be included in everything the site has to offer. I always liked that about this site, how inclusive it could be.

I say if you wanna participate, then participate. Posting one-off meaningless comments just to up your post count sucks sweaty festering alpaca nads

Anteater 03-18-2014 10:42 AM

As someone who has been here...what, 6 years now?...I'm actually surprised just how antsy people are that they aren't a part of some imagined larger "conversation" that's going on here on MB. Its all well and good to want to make friends and all that, but don't misunderstand: the purpose of this forum isn't to recreate the Grammys and pat eachother on the back all the time like the world isn't falling down around your ears: your here to talk about music and, hopefully, broaden your horizons a bit. If you get more out of it than that, awesome...but if you don't care about that stuff, why not just stay in the Lounge and post dumb .gifs all day or go spam up people's feeds on Facebook, Twitter, etc?

In my case, I love writing and sharing new things with others, so that's what I spend the majority of my time doing when I do come on here. To all you newbies out there: find your niches and contribute. Beyond that, does anyone seriously have expectations of others on this forum? That's just nuts.

Tristesse 03-18-2014 11:02 AM

In my opinion if you're here then your main priority should be to talk and learn about music. Sure, be nice to people, but if all you're posting is endless niceties then you're hardly making a worthwhile contribution and you'd probably be suited to a different website. Here, post about stuff you like without giving a sh*t whether anyone likes you for it or not.

WWWP 03-18-2014 11:11 AM

I'm going to go ahead and continue to post whatever the fuck I feel like posting. I came here for the music, what I got was music and a few really great friendships. If I feel like expressing your value to me or my admiration of you I'm going to, regardless of whether it's perceived as niceties or otherwise.

RoxyRollah 03-18-2014 11:13 AM

I can dig that mentality of not giving a ****. But the post needs to be ****in relevant.

But see Steph there is a difference between your posting your feelings for the friends you have made here. And people posting I like you, do you like me?

I get you because I feel the same way. Some of these people have become a very real part of my life. And I care for them immensely.

But the **** I am seeing over the last week, almost makes the genuine love that is here, look disingenuous, because it's being overshadowed by, the music banter newbie blowjob festival.

You can just clearly use my nickname, instead of pointing it out so uber-strangely. Yeah, I got it. I'm not what you guys look for in this forum.
Yes, I got over-excited about this, because I thought that I found a place,
where I can just have fun and discuss with people, and I like a lot of you,
you're all individually crazy, but nice persons.
Yes I'm new, and yes I talk a lot - I'm very impulsive, and if one answers to something I say, I'd find it rude not to give a response back. And yes, I blabber out a lot of my thoughts, cuz I can't keep them in. I feel like discussing about every single detail that's going on in this world. I can only be who I am, and as I simply can't change my posting behaviour fast enough, I think this is the end.
I feel like it's best for me to just leave this forum, as I am certainly not welcome. I really thank you guys for this week here. It's been cool.

Oh no I wasn't being strange. I just don't spell well in English let alone German, no need for me to butcher that language too.

See I have been wondering, what your issue is, and it has become quite clear, you have confused, Music Banter with the I have low self esteem so I need to be accepted by everybody forum. ( 1 word Facebook) Your grandmother will cheer you up there, as will all your irl friends. Brother I don't think you are cut out for this forum. You don't post anything musically related ever, and anytime some gives you helpful hints you ignore them then whine when people are tell you what they think. **** that. Change your tampon listen to an album and then post about it for a change.

butthead aka 216 03-18-2014 12:12 PM

This is a great test for the noobs to be able to defy regulars without gettin banned thus makin a strong move for glory n eventually gettin the respect of those you've defied. May the odds ever be in ur fsvor, noobs

Black Francis 03-18-2014 12:23 PM

Am i included in those ppl Roxy? :(

Cause i admit sometimes i post stupid **** but i also try to take part in more in depth conversations here, Be them obesity, racism, Anime, wthvr and i know it can't be all a love fest but that doesn't mean people can't agree with each other and play nice from time to time.

And i can actually name all the new bands ive discovered thanx to ppl here..

thanx to this site and the ppl here i now know of 'Hammer no more fingers' (thanx to phanastacio) 'Punishment of Luxury' (Jackhammer) 'Vivian girls' (Neopolitan, i think) 'The Avalanches' (Roxy) and 'Gogo bordello' (Carpe)

and i got more to mention but i think you guys get the point, it's my opinion we can have both, a friendly community that is willing to listen and learn from each other but can also debate when they disagree in certain subjects.

Isbjørn 03-18-2014 12:41 PM

I'll keep posting as I do, I don't think I've done anything wrong.

Taxman 03-18-2014 01:45 PM

You can never please everyone anyway, so I don't really bother. I just hope I'm not very arrogant or rude to others.

And Briks, you haven't done anything wrong, at least I think so. I have never seen that you insult anyone or anything. Just wondering are all Norwegians as polite and pleasant.

All this exchange has showed me is that the people I find really damn annoying on this website, most people find really damn annoying. Reconfirming why I like this place so much (#niceties) (#asslicking)
And thanks for the mention Roxy, that's the cool thing - even when hating on this thread, a little comment like that does wonders in changing my perception as soon as I feel the little 'that's my name' boost. It's good to be nice to eachother, but too nice is just creepy. If my real life friends told me they loved me everyday I'd really hate them.

Goofle 03-18-2014 03:16 PM

I copied the user list at the bottom of the home page and will now discuss the users I feel I have something to say about right now:

RoxyRollah - My future baby momma. Mostly I don't know what the fuck you are going on about but it's fun to know you are equally confused. Some times you might need to participate in some of that relaxing you keep telling our n00bs do. I fear you might go off the rails and that's not good for our future.

Sequoioideae - Somebody I should know a lot more. Always seemed cool though. Lets hope that happens.

Tristesse - I really like you, and you remind me a lot of my tastes at the age of around 18/19 but we have to be honest with ourselves and admit that your hipster level is pretty low dude. Step up the hipster.

djchameleon - I don't understand why you get in the arguments/discussions you do but I don't really care. I have yet to see you make any comments that were intended to cause offense to another member.

The Batlord - Not as funny as he thinks other people think he thinks he is.

Mankycaaant - Never skip a Manky post, regardless of the topic. Always honest (even if the delivery is more scathing than necessary) and the guy cracks me up.

butthead aka 216 - Pretty good troll but I think you are fence sitting a little too much. You are comfortable where you are. Step up your fucking game.

GuitarBizarre - Whilst I like you as a person I cannot deny that I could do without the endless debates about shit that doesn't really matter, and then the following discussion about why it does matter.

Neapolitan - Neap, I have forgiven you for not including me in your guts spillage as I am sure you left me out on purpose. Embrace the Neap.

If you weren't included, and wish to be in with a chance of appearing next time, make sure you are online at the time I decide to do another "Spill Your Guts" post.

It's here because a mod approved it?

I don't see a problem with posting positive things about one another. I understand that at times it can be fake, false, or whatever it is you wanna call it. There's no controversy like there used to be when it was more obvious people were definitely speaking their minds. But it still seems an odd thing for so many people to be pissed off by.

This. I find it odd, not only that people are pissed off at people being nice, but also this assumption some seem to have that nice somehow equals false.
