wtf is this i love metal nonsense

engaging the filthy masses on a clusterfuck level sounds really gross

wait don't you go to metal shows

hahaha it sounds as gross as that!!

trayce - 2 things

1. i didnt actually think this was in any way a "big mod decision" when i did it.
2. at no point did i get into any ungrateful fuxx nonsense, if you read the other thread (the locked one on the now defunct metal board) and dont see why i said some people were being jerks i dont even know how to start tbh

1. i didnt actually think this was in any way a "big mod decision" when i did it.

TBH this is the only thing I have any issue with, I got zero beef with you or yr modding generally fwiw :)

Also not at all sayin i think no one was being jerky, but eh *shrug*/

thanks, i was a little proud of that turn of phrase

trayce otm

jjj: take a cue from yr buddy DJP and resign angrily, "let the terrorists win" and go enjoy your life, marriage, and freedom to engage in clusterfucks as a free agent!!!!!!

#protip the terrorists always win anyway

i guess someone could explain to me why there are so many rolling metal threads -- i feel like it defeats the purpose of a rolling thread

dude if you cant understand the value of rolling neo-martial-folk-core-whatever then i dont even know maybe go to live journal or w/e

eh there may or may not be a desire to have specialized subgenre threads--rolling metal went close to 5k posts last year--there is a feeling that maybe more obscure releases could get some time in a subgenre thread.

there is going to be a prob w/stuff getting crossposted but whatev, i guess

oh

yeah i dunno, it's a reasonable compromise from the subboard thing--i know you guys would not give a rats ass about a metal subboard but you're not really the "target audience" so

seems stupid to me -- fruity swag was at 5500 posts last year & everything is cool in one thread, but hey

yeah i feel you--it would not be my pref but i'm fine w/giving it a try--not like ilm is being used for all this other great stuff.

uh oh rap/metal fight

gonna start ever more obscure football chant threads on ilm just to see

not like ilm is being used for all this other great stuff.

who will be rick rubin and defuse the rap metal fight

rick rollins

i'm not making a value judgment on who boards better (okay maybe i am) -- i guess i'm just saying that it would seem pointless & confusing if we had "rolling ny rap thread", "rolling southern rap thread", "rolling cali rap thread", "rolling texas rap thread" etc

also prob annoying to everybody else

right because rap and metal match up on a one-to-one level exactly

i'm not making a one-to-one comparison

i would gently suggest that subgenres work differently in metal and there's a lot more disparity.

idk how unified the metal posters are but the goon crew is like the same 10 ppl, all the time, so that's why it doesn't make sense to have separate rolling rap threads

rolling slap bass thread, rolling random metal group w/a dj thread

i think you could argue it either way and regardless my point is that it seems counter to the notion of a rolling thread, and that is inarguable

also would u take anyone seriously who liked ny and texas rap but not southern and cali rap? that kind of thing doesn't seem like it would really happen in rap unless there was some head who was just super deep into one region.

xp yes i agree w/that

rolling frat rap thread

maybe it would help if you thought of the rolling metal subgenre threads as their equivalent to the rolling lil b/rolling gucci mane threads

has anyone told the people who post to rolling metal that metal sucks

feel like it might clear up some of this

yeah but see like i said upthread there i didnt abdicate or sign away my "dude who posts on ilx however he wants" rights when i agreed to be a mod so i can actually clusterfuck as much as want imo, so i dont really need to do any resigning to say whatever.

also thats my groomsman DJP thank you very much.

also people saying "hey metal dudes if you have a rolling thread you dont need any other threads" is uh totally ridic

maybe it would help if you thought of the rolling metal subgenre threads as their equivalent to the rolling lil b/rolling gucci mane threads

gucci mane isn't a sub genre

news to me

if you would prefer every metal band and album should just get it's own thread you should really say so

feel that claiming there should be only one rolling metal thread makes about as much sense as saying there should only be one rolling rock thread

mmmm, rolling rock

i would prefer this

actually i would prefer it if there were a whole separate board for metal

lets give it a fun name too

I know jordan didn't campaign about deleting the metal board, so this isn't aimed at him at all, but the rest of you who did campaign to delete the metal board really shouldn't be complaining if there's more metal (or any type of music) threads now on ILM.

well you see, if you did this, the threads wouldn't stick to the top of the board because all the posting would be incredibly fractured & the threads wouldn't gather enough posts to stay that omnipresent (i.e. bee ok making a separate thread for 50 diff pitchfork indie albums, each thread getting 8 posts, and those threads falling off new answers w/in a day)

i campaigned to keep the metal board so i could hide all the threads

the real culprit here is SNA, destroy SNA
