Okay, so that was over at our old address.
But still.. how times have changed.

It's true that we're still not as brutal as Hipinion/ex-Pitchfork, but we're certainly not "Pleasantville" anymore (as we were once accused of being). There's more vitrol than there ever was.

So, in the grand Obner tradition, I bid you all a hearty....
Go Fuck yourselves!!!
:thumbsup:

Or am I wrong about this?

This was the whole point of my "board schism" thread the other day. Nobody caught on, though, so I let it go. It really doesn't bother me, it's just something I've noticed.

1. This board is full of liberals.

2. This board is full of leeches.

This, like the talk of music or lack thereof is all in the eye of the beholder. Some of just like to fuck with people more than others are comfortable with, I gues, but I can't think of I time when I have been genuinely mean to anyone, and I'm usually given credit for losing your precious CMJ paradise.

I know where Todd is coming from, but just to run with the Pleasantville thing...

Wasn't Pleasantville a phony cheerful black & white suburbia where sex doesn't exist, life is always happy, books have no words, real emotions are supressed, nobody questions anything and life is completely bland?

Might be a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

For the record...
I was not saying it was better then (or is better now). I'm just sayin' "remember when?..."

Guess it ties in with my nostalgia threads. ;)

I don't recall the CMJ board being that pleasant. We still had our squabbles. I just think this board suffers from what the whole New Orleans situation suffered from.

Perception is everything.

A Hurricane? Flooding?

Years of overlooked poverty and oppression?

i remember when people weren't quite as retarded with their comments, sure. now instead of:

"ugh - I do not like that band"

we get

"jesus h. jumpin up and down christ. whoever likes that band probably molests kittens"

Again, your man-crush on Joe Crede seems to have gone a little further than most man-crushes.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I actually hate Joe Crede and can't wait for him to be off the team.

how many regular posters were there on cmj? i feel like it was much larger and therefore busier with music posts and not stagnant with the same 8 dicks fighting about everything possible.

yes, I am including myself in that figure.
