wtf is this i love metal nonsense

dayo you're in this thread arguing, you can't pull the #WHOGIVESASHIT card, sorry

I just wanna clusterfuck too

i remember the wonderful distant past where i made a shocking out of control powermad mod decision and started "I Love Vinyl" out of the blue and everyone became incensed and furious about my abuse of power

xpost why does WGW have that copyrighted or something?

is whiney just whining because he cant get the secret invite only goon board he didn't actually really want but was just trying to make a drama out of it all?

I may have missed something that kicked all this off and I'd like to know what it was but:

If jordan has a problem with 5 metal threads on ILM, dont you think him & others would object to dozens of metal threads created every day?

- would this really ever happen? Seriously? Dozens of metal threads started anew every single day? Who would ever do this with any genre?

well if posts on a rolling metal thread is enough to keep them top of new answers then individual threads on the bands/albums are bound to happen if rolling threads are banned just because they are for metal.

Roxy is posting on the rolling bm exclusively because the chat on the big rolling thread doesnt interest her. The other subgenre threads have that with other people.

Why should we not be allowed to have these threads if we want them?

i'm not saying that you guys should not be allowed to have what you want -- notice i haven't asked john to delete the threads or w/e -- personally i was just questioning the necessity of the various sub-genre threads

(also empirically & generally speaking not all sub-communities of posters get to have what they wa because the general community is much larger than a group of 30 or so ppl)

you do realise that there are hundreds of sub-genres in a genre that is still evolving after 40 years. Not everyone likes every genre Some people hate other genres. Some only want to talk about 1 or 2 or whatever of these genres. some like more mainstream stuff some like to talk about black metal bands who release tapes ltd to 200 copies. It's a big big world in metal.
you cant contain it all in one thread. Any why should metal fans on ilx be forced to stay in one rolling thread?
xp

that response is to trayce

i know jordan, and i appreciate you being level-headed on this. But noone wanted the metal board so they have to deal with more metal threads on ilm. I know you were happy with a subboard which made it easier for you to avoid, but 99% of ilx was against it. Metal fans & non metal fans. That is why it was deleted.
As a result it just means there are more metal related threads on ILM. Maybe keith can come up with a way to hide certain genres , i dont know. But i get the feeling the same people who wanted to keep ILM together will be against that too and against whineys goon board.

personally i was just questioning the necessity of the various sub-genre threads

I'll repost the bit on the metal board that got deleted that (tried) to explain why some people find the main metal thread too unwieldy. Im not very good at explaining things, so perhaps someone will come along later to try to explain better.

This thread is quite promo based and fast moving at times. This causes a problem for some (not all). Part of the reason some wanted a new board. So i'd like to offer a compromise.

I would like to keep the rolling industro thread plz.

i still say the rolling threads should exist so stuff doesnt get lost in the rolling thread. its pretty hard to discuss stuff when it was discussed by a select few 300 posts & promos ago.

worth keeping rolling sub-genre threads too, I should think. The Rolling thread moves too fast some times, good to have some space to talk about genre records without the constant churn of the main thread.

i understand those with promos dont get that some find it a bit off-putting but maybe they could try to understand those who do.

since this thread is discussing what should or shouldn't happen on ILM, shouldn't this thread be on ILM so everyone can take part?

is there really anything more to say about this?

plenty of people will be arriving at work in a few hours, not having been on ilx since 5.30 friday. they wont have seen this. if whiney and co want to limit subject choices of threads and how often people should post on certain subjects then perhaps they should be allowed their say too? After all, everyone got to say to delete the metal sub-board.

gucci mane isn't a sub genre

posts v much out of character imo

hahahah

lil b is a sub genre

algerian goalkeeper you are teaching a master class in passive-aggressiveness, it is beautiful and amazing to me

max you don't even know what you're complaining about, you're just complaining about anything for the sake of it.

no one should miss this awesome metal showdown.

well yeah that is kinda the max steez tbh

Sorry but max kind of has a point, AG you keep pressing this manufactured point that everyone in thew whole world hates metal and it should STFU and get its own board, because otherwise how would we ever cope with the apparent 65465445 new threads a day that apparently people are itching to create and I dont even know what this is about anymore my brain hurts.

I mean is that what the argument is? Cos I cant make sense of any of this.

Its all gone off the rails.... on a crazy train.

what complaining!! i havent complained once in this thread!!

i am marveling at algerian goalkeepers amazing performance here

trayce the metal board is already dead, i think that AG is arguing that its weird that people have followed this up by preemptively complaining about the possibility that there might be multiple metal threads on ILM, which i also find completely bizarre

max i know you have this hilarious ilx persona where you pretend to give a shit about stuff you dont give a shit about but ehhhh

max wrote this on thread wtf is this i love metal nonsense on board I Love Music on 21-Mar-2011

my back hurts

max wrote this on thread wtf is this i love metal nonsense on board I Love Music on 21-Mar-2011

i give a shit about this metal subboard

... ;-)

i think that AG is arguing that its weird that people have followed this up by preemptively complaining about the possibility that there might be multiple metal threads on ILM, which i also find completely bizarre

EXACTLY yes this is what I wasnt getting, I'm like "where is that perception coming from?" I thought I was going mad.

Tho wait no, what I am reading is AG is the one saying people are doing this but I only see him saying that!?

Oh I give up.

flopson!!!!

trayce a bunch of people said that upthread - i dont get it either

btw i am a prophet those max posts i quoted r from the future weve got a good team working on patching up the rift in the time space continuum you will remember none of this by morning

can we delete the i love vinyl board now

it's only fair.

hahaha

milquetoast metal

skipped a lot of msgs here but basically if u dont listen to metal or w/e how could this possibly affect u, also probably stfu about it? the rolling metal thread really isnt the same as autogoon etc, ie 7 dudes talking about w/e its like 700 guys posting about what promo cds they got and it sucked, it needed to be split, dont really see HOW PEOPLE ARE POSSIBLY AFFECTED AT ALL by threads that they do not read? something i've enevr understood about ilx, but then again i don't look at ILM or SNA all day, i just look at whatever threads i like

like wtf is wrong with yall that dont do this

"i fuckin hate all these threads about x" < this has never been a problem i have ever had

otoh - i think one of the bracket food poll threads led to me learning about the popularity of organic farming in Minnesota, so i shouldn't be hating on bracket polls that much.

oh ha i just was trying to figure out what thread that was!

I wish the poll function had never been invented :(

i think it involved berries, and i was trying to find a logical explanation for why you hated something as awesome as berries.

well duh they are fruit and therefore terrible

god didnt create vitamin supplements so you assholes could all deny his glory and eat fruits and vegetables ffs

anyway, that information came in useful at a later date when i was chatting up a cute midwestern boy from some touring band.

btw i fuckin hate the metal polls

but i ignore them iirc

you don't remember if you ignore them?

lol

just sometimes she needs to be reminded to ignore them
