I didn't fucking join till like March. Sarge came after me. LetMeSleep wasn't long before me. I know some other pretty active posters are recent as well. I can't speak for all of us, but I didn't find this to be an unwelcoming place. If you say something stupid, you get called on it or just ignored. If you say something insightful/funny/interesting/witty/engaging, people are responsive*. What the hell is so difficult to understand about that?


*Except for random amazing comments like The Blast Zone & "Flip your sister over - problem solved," which everyone should feel bad for not appreciating.

Haha, that was fun.

Was this the "Jeff stole my basketball" post?

Say, I think I'll join a Metallica board and forever harp on about how the later albums can never match the majesty of the earlier period. Oh, and I'll do it ad infinitum ad nauseam because that adds a lot to the current discussion.

Are you fucking kidding me? You don't think there are Metallica fans doing that?

And you don't have friends online?

There's a friend and an online friend. I'd take a real life one over an internet persona any day.

And as for the other my point still stands. There are people here who have hated the band's output for over ten years. Thus, I find their predictable contributions boring.

The only people I see get slaughtered are people who appear generally crazy.

"I like [insert album or song here]," feeds into the general debate.

"I got banned from the Pit because I shared pictures of the sculpture of I carved of Eddie giving Stone fellatio in honor of Earth Day," tends to get mocked.

Or the most recent real example I remember is the dude coming over here to talk about how he called Jeff at home and complain because Jeff was rude about it.

You had negative comments about the music?

The 10club forum have a lot of posters who don't know much about the band beyond Eddie Vedder. I have met people who have been a fan since the early 90's who have no idea who Stone Gossard is. Several members are more into pre-parties for the shows than the actual concerts, yet they will do anything to get tickets near the front including fuck one another.


This board has music lovers. And assholes.
