ive been part of this community for only a month or so, and within that short period of time, ive witnessed its quality of topics drastically decline... i think it's sad. dont get me wrong, i still love coming here, but it takes me a lot more time to filter which threads are interesting music-wise and which one are pointless. anyone agree? or am i the only one who thinks that way? what can be done? what about imposing a maximum of 1 new topic per user per day or something like that? though i do realize it wouldnt exactly be fair... any thoughts/suggestions? |

I think points should be deducted for stupid topics. All irrelevant topics/posts must be filtered out and the guilty parties punished harshly! It's an aphex twin messageboard, let's at least keep it to music subjects, folks! |

ya but i love threads about the weird www sites, and the jokes, and thequotes no more of these "this or that" threads its stuipid. and threads for people to list their top 5 movies, songs, foods....whatever. thats been done wayyyyyy too many times. a lot of the threads are getting too repatitious |

People say I have nice clothes! I walk down the street and everyone says, "Hey, dude, nice threads!" But seriously, guys, let's think about others before we post. Let's think about what others will think when they read our post. Let's try to imagine what they would say. Let's not post things just for the sake of reading something we've posted. Let us look now to a new future. A future of better threads awaits us! |

I love stupid topics... to an extent. But there IS too many of them. There has to be a line drawn somewhere... |

I am a huge proponent of defacing violator's icons and using them as our own. For instance, if Ophecks there were to post crazy things, I'd draw a mustache and some springy eyes on his picture and use it as my own! That would learn him, by Jove! |
||||||||

i dont really mind the occasional stupid topic, but it gets a bit "irritating" when almost half of the topics are "stupid". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree! And Cortex, if you were to post stupid topics, I'd draw sideburns on your round little head and maybe a sombrero! |
||||||||

no, please, NOT THE SOMBRERO! |

I like to have fun! |

Oh yeah? If YOU were to post something stupid, Spooky, I'd rearrange your face so it ISN'T fucked up!!! THAT'D LEARN YA, GOD DAMMIT!!!! |

HAHAHAHAHA! I gotta hand it to ya, that made my day! |

Simple solution. If u dont like the thread then dont read it. Also if all we did was talk about aphex twin then i think this mb would be a little dry. If u wanted to have people get - points for stupid topics that would require a person to administer and frankly i dont think anybody is willing to do the job. |

whinge whinge..I think of a community board as an alive and organic conversational expereince..and all of this emphasis on stupid topics is a bit ridiculous..unless it is direct attacks on a member or out and out rude and offensive stuff...stupid topics can be live blood of this experience..I have read some of the best and most enlightening stuff here on these so called stupid topics where everybody just cuts loose and be themselves..I have gotten to know a lot more about the personal quirks of the members on these occassions...after all we are here on the Aphex Twin message board and nobody indulges in the bizzare, ridiculous and the absurd more than RDJ himself... |

I think its easier for people to talk about stupid things just in general. I know in everyday life thats how most people are.But on the other side of the coin its not good to intellectulize everything. Everyone needs a vice even if its making dumb jokes. Hey if it makes you happy, as long as you are not hurting anyone, screw everyone else. Honestly would Aphex twin have ever gained any kind of popularity if he wanted every element in his music to sound nice and clean like early depeche mode for the sole reason of not breaking the status quo. I don't think so. So if you dont like the topic dont participate or contribute one you like. But limiting people to one a day is like censoring..even the idiots with the dessert topics should have a voice. Even if some people might think its a stupid one. I think it would be a terrible paradox to encourage censorship and conformity on an Aphex twin website or any website for that matter. |

Who are you to judge what is and is not stupid and entertaining to someone else? Afterall the internet is all about free speech. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope you werent addressing me because if you were you obviously missed the whole point I was trying to make. And besides if i think the dessert topic is stupid I can say so, besides "the internet is all about free speech"-your words |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sure the mods will step in if they think the mb is going to hell. Until then, chill. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then why you wanting censorship? Eat your feedback. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you guys want to see pointless and degrading topics, look at some of the shit that was posted last year....there were some nutty assholes on here...I think it's pretty good right now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thepoint of a message board is to discuss things, so i don't think it's fair for people to dictate what should be talked about and what should be left alone......i told you the Nazi board brigade wa coming |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amen Zen!!! |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Dude seriously do i have to spell it out for you: 1. I think the dessert topic is stupid 2. I DO NOT support censorship I dont understand your hostility towards me when we seem to agree that censorship sucks. Just because I think a topic is stupid doesnt mean I dont think it should be available for all to enjoy, laugh at, or indulge in. take some ritalin or something. |

this thread seems pretty stupid and pointless an oxy-moron, a paradox, a juxtaposition of opposites but seriously folx this is a message board that brings people together who like some wierdo;s music which would prolly make us all weirdos ourselves so why not delve into this or that? yeah they;re pooty, i mean stupid or whatever but hey spending hourz on a message board is pointless spending hours on the net is pointless in fact i;d say that the net and this message board both don;t exist and is only the construct of mass dillusion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok then, cool man I must have misunderstood something. That or I am half asleep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh hell.. the message board is going existentialist. where's my copy of Jean Paul Sartre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not trying to bash you green, i just think it's funny that you would say that you think censorship sucks, but would like to be able to pick and choose what topics are relavent and not, and this has nothing to do with existentialism, so i'm not sure where that came from.....that pertains to the purpose of life not censorship |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favorite was the "whats your favorite dessert topic" that was a classic, you know you need to get out more when.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you actually care what people's fav desserts are on the mb |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite dessert is otter pops Sir Isaac Lyhme, er Lime wha-? i mean my favorite desserts is circular conversation you know the kind that doesn;t really get anything accomplished |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm...Zen i see your point about my addressing the relevance of the topics but I am sure others judge the relevance of some of the topic otherwise they would not contribute new topics...maybe i am just the only idiot that blurted out hey that is stupid. But the last statement you made is pure existentialism: i;d say that the net and this message board both don;t exist and is only the construct of mass dillusion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best way to stop "message board deterioration" is to not contribute to it, meaning not making stupid topics and not continuing stupid discussions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Zen I'm kidding, I think that thread represents the lowest this MB has ever sunk. The dessert thread was so asinine I nearly spat up the milk I was drinking when I spotted it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no problem with your opinions, i just don't see how it is fair to dictate what stays and what goes......it's fine not to like someone's post, just don't reply to it, and yes you can relate existentialism to the mb, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with what we were talking about; censorship on the mb |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry...i didn't know that I might actually offend someone by knocking the dessert topic. besides i contributed to it anyway so that basically says i am a hypocrit(fuck it I cant spell it). i just tend to spew at the mouth, I honestly mean no offense..geez what am I in group..let's all have a group hug. or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no group hugs plz hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, i'm with you green, no big deal, it's all cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you talking to me Zen? If so you'll note I never said anything should "stay" or "go". I was merely agreeing with cortex that the number of posts that would insult the intelligence of a can of tomatoes has increased exponentially in this last week. I dont think anyone wants censorship on the MB, but by the same token I think an effort should be made to stave off ones curiosity as to whether the other forum members wear boxers or briefs. |
||||||||

|
|
oops looks like you ARENT talking to me... ok lemonade and cookies for everyone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was talking to Greengod Taoist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wish you hadn't said the boxers or briefs comment..now that will be the next topic..either that or some idiot like me will say...." Dude I'm naked!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think the board is fine, topics that u think r stupid just ignore, that what i do. and if u want better topics post them urself... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

This MB RULES ALL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I see this board as bunch of dudes in a club/ cafe, mingling with the crowd, sipping drinks, listening to their fave music, and having conversations with whom they like, when they like, on topics they like.. If you don't like it, you find another conversation or start you own. Everyone listenes here (unlike in the club) and if people are interested, they will participate. My only complaint is that people start new threads without ever trying to find out wheteher similar topics ever existed... But aside from that, it's excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Besides, speaking about other than musical topics is what keeps me coming back here. And if you take a look at most other boards on the web, you'll see that this is by far (among) the best. |
||||||||

ummm DUDES?? =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

pheh young uns:) half this thread seems to be dedicated to utter bafflement and confusion about whos talking to how and saying what... if you wanna reply to someun just click on the reply no eg [#00155953] like I have done on this one..and like lovely LeCoeur has done and your message will say who you are replying to... oh and up with stupidity and down with censorship and board nazis my favourite desert is an Opera Slice bye |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, yes, the DUDES issue. Sorry bout that, I actually scanned the whole topic and seeing that LeCoeur had not contributed, decided to use the word Dudes, as no girls seemed to be interested in it. But i didn't mean anything by it... |
