We are all random accidents...

Nothing could be further from the truth...

[Warham]

I don't have any answers, but I have some questions.

If things are so bad here, why are more people not joining over "there?"

Maybe they went and joined the Links or Classic Van Halen or some other site?

Maybe they are tired of dealing with the same "crowd".

It's not like these are the only two sites around.

[Warham]

You're not celebrating a mass influx of new members, either.

Forums get worse the bigger they get. We are actually very happy with our traffic.

[WARF]

We won alright!

But it wasn't because the (ex) mods fucked up this place and got fired.

We won because we have 100 strong, fun members to conversate with.

Our site doesn't have people crying to Sesh all day to remove popgears... We don't have any popgears with personal info or pictures. Our members look forward to posting at our site to get away from all the day to day drama. Our staff doesn't allow mods to attack the members, like this place did for many years. We made a site everyone enjoys, and nobody is harassed.

[WARF]

You know you're running a site professionally if Flappo is a mod, and there is not even ONE popgear in the forums.

You guys can't even control him as a non staff member...

And members.You guys should check us out some time

[WARF]

We're a fun, professionally run web site!

No flame wars.
No personal pics.
No racism.

We are drama free.

We have great staff and management!

Thanks DB!

Let's be honest.

You guys don't post that stuff over there because you know it'll get more views here. Why bother posting it there where only six of you will see it?

To be all high and mighty about your rules there and to come here and post all that shit...

You should come over some time Twona.I don't think we have spoke before but you seem like a nice interesting guy.You'll see we are not so bad

[twonabomber]

Why should I go over there? You're all always here!

Have you looked at Links lately?

Never mind all the Chickenshit sheep Hagar cultists.... their "non-music" forum looks like a cross between Free Republic and Stormfront. Which is ironic, considering Brett and his mods used to claim they hated "political threads".

I guess I just don't subscribe to this Charlie Sheen/Winning attitude when it comes to web sites. Seriously, where is the need for any sort of competition? Am I missing something here?

Look, people can go anywhere they wish on the world wide web, it's called freewill (Speaking of that, DO NOT go to a RUSH fan site under any circumstance. If you think our community is somewhat cantankerous, spend a couple hours of your life with them nerds. Yikes.)

By the same token, I don't believe in hounding people mercilessly, going from one thread to another like some sort of cancer and thus disrupting an entire site over some meaningless vendetta. If you are unhappy with a certain poster, than do one of two things:

1. Ignore their ass
2. Send it to PM

Either way, you'll avoid falling into a delusional trap that requires everyone within earshot to get caught up in you own little psycho drama.

Yeah, there are folks here that can't stand me and vice versa. The pisser is, I refuse to give them the satisfaction of a response. Now how fucking difficult is that to figure out? Shit, if an emotionally stifled bone-head like me can come to terms with the concept, then surely other folks can do so as well.

Wrong again.

Me, Donnie, Warham and ZZ made a site that doesn't allow personal info and pictures to be posted there. The only reason anyone posted personal info here is because it's allowed time after time. You say we care about views at this site? I already told you Sesh is the numbers guy. We don't give a shit about views at our site, let alone your site... We care about the quality of the members and posts. We don't wanna have a site where people come home from a stressful day at work, and get bashed all day without anyone stopping in to end the abuse. It's not about traffic, it's about good management.

I am surprised no one uses the "ignore user" function here. Probably would have cut down on the shit from earlier this year.

And having a good time
