I skimmed the goon thread at least once a month in 2010, why was I not asked to vote!
― mh, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
is this better or worse than ppl fighting over the title of the goon thread seven years later
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 17:01 (six years ago) link
lmao rereading this is so great
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 17:01 (six years ago) link
the seven years later part prob tips it in favor of the title argument being worse

"deej is deej & forks has totally lost the plot" isn't much by itself but ums's increasingly bewildered calls for reason are making this pretty classic imo

Nowhere near as classic as secret goon poll thread obv

No confusion. One is for face tats and the other is for rap.

what about creating more threads just spitballin

i'm not sure why mods aren't locking the thread... there aren't any other multiple coexisting rolling genre threads, are there?
― flopson, Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:08 (six years ago) link
yeah? we have ones where a new one’s started and people post in the old one all the time just take 2018 out of the title or something

I think each of the mods, acting independently of one another, ought to lock whichever two of the three threads they think most eligible for locking, regardless of which two threads have already been locked.
― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:30 (six years ago) link
^^^take this idea and extend it to all threads
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 15 February 2018 02:40 (six years ago) link
context:
- no regular rap thread poster besides forks thinks rap thread should be split in 2. his own motivations, besides a vague animosity towards deej, are unclear to me. i personally think forks is a great guy who does a lot for the board (updating dozens of spotify playlists out of pure generosity). just wish he would not try to split my favourite rolling genre thread in two for no apparent reason, as it makes it very confusing to follow!
- decade+ long tradition of naming rap threads riffing on trends in 'lcd rap' is good-natured fun, bickering over particulars of the name in early january a part of the tradition. this has never resulted in a split before. the names speak to posters' simple pleasure in trendwatching, as well as a more trad 'popist' critical pov that is reluctant to dismiss 'low' forms of the genre out of hand
- despite naming convention, it's well-known that music posted in the threads is not exclusive to street rap (as a scroll through any years' thread would immediately confirm), and the supposed bias towards street rap is a misrepresentation. as in any rolling genre thread, links to music will elicit opinions and critical perspectives. imo this is a feature not a bug!
in conclusion, please lock the thread. thanks <3

unlock all the threads, but only allow flopson to post on them

2010 was a classic year the top 10 on that list is fire altho i can't believe i put a souljaboy tape ahead of mr zone 6 (arguably last truly great golden era gucci mane tape)

it's not about having my own thread, it's about there only being 1 thread. also i really don't think i'm the only one who is annoyed by this! imagine if there were two bobbins threads

didn't this mostly come along as a way of creating a deej-free hiphop thread

why do you need a mod to lock the threads, can't you just agree not to post in them? Why whine to mods to babyproof your adult beefs?

i don't have any beefs. and to my knowledge, there is no beef. if there is it exists solely in the mind of one person? it's perfectly natural for coordination failures to have solutions like this, nothing 'baby' about it imo

the most frustrating thing about this is how it's created the perception of some rift that isn't actually there.

it'd be fun if there were 315 rap threads but only one was the real rap thread and you had to decipher clues to figure out which one that was
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Thursday, 15 February 2018 03:51 (six years ago) link
I love the music opinions in those threads but the secondary attraction has always been one person making a statement about how people perceive the music, another person wondering where that post even came from, and then bickering over _stances_ about a topic that was never even discussed

Feel like there is more imagined drama in the rolling rap threads than there actually is. Usually it's just cool music posts with the occasional digression about some soundcloud rapper some folks think is overrated and others don't. This weird multi-thread spat is really odd to me.
