I don't take anything here to heart, and it's not as if I'll go a cry in a corner about something someone said, but it does make this site a lot less appealing to me and others if I have to deal with so much crap just to talk about music. |

The trouble with people is they never take responsibility for what happens, it's always other people's fault "Oh I posted some crap and people jumped on me about it", maybe it was rubbish, maybe it deserved ridicule. Maybe it would've been better to take 2 seconds to use the search feature to see if something's been discussed to death already. Maybe your spam was derivative shite and wasted the time of however took a moment to listen to it. Why does everyone want to be treated with kid gloves? You talk of people not acting the same in the real world, you go out in the real world and talk complete bollocks to some stranger, all half incoherent and rambling, see what response you get there. The same as here, "Fuck off out of it, you freak". There. |

Shrug, well I'm from Canada, we're actually not assholes to each other here. |

For clarity, I meant your comment about TCH was a fair comment. Not calling you, "a stupid faggot, with a gay taste in music". I don't know whether or not that changes your taking it on the chin. hanal: we love you too. Funkmaster: It seems it's not specific to zilty. I only post here and on motorcycling boards (where there tends to be a lot less dickishness, because the members generally meet up IRL a lot more- tends to encourage civility) so don't really have an overview of the rest of the web. My girlfriend, however, has to sign up to a lot of mbs to ask questions on various topics as part of her job and she reports that in the vast majority of places, there will be several people who post not just stupid/irrelevant, but downright unpleasent responses. Her theory is that the people doing it, are passive aggressives who shirk from confrontation in real life, but who love to come across as edgey with a tough streak online. I tend to agree. |

whatever man, ophecks is a canadian and that guy is a fucking DICK! |

I agree with that. It's so easy to act the asshole to people over the internet because there are a lot less repurcussions. There are always people on message boards who act like idiots and all that, but that seems a lot more prevalent here. |

Second LFIMWMTTDCOFMC of the day and it's from the same poster. |

IDM fans are weirdos, I think that's what it comes down to. It's a counter-culture kind of scene with a lot of ''artfags'' and headcases. I guess, I mean I can't think of any other explanation. It seems a fair observation to me though. I was thinking maybe our very lax moderation had something to do with it, since the most ''civil'' boards I post on are very strict and if you swear or flame, you're gone. But ther'es so many exceptions I've observed, equally lax boards that aren't as nearly populated with as many hooligans or smarminess. Then there's a hockey board I post on that's as strict as can be but people find ways to be as cruel and confrontational as possible anyway. I guess it has more to do with the ''scene'' and topic than anything else. The more niche and ''hardcore'' a scene is, the more caustic they feel they can/need to be. Add in that this board gives you carte blanche to start basically any kind of topic and make any kind of post... Not that I'm complaining or anything. I mean, that's precisely why I stayed here in the first place, the decadence and collective snarl of the populous. And that was in 2001, so, no, I would say it hasn't changed much at all. Maybe it got 1% meaner. |

I'm making fish soup. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just ate a french dip sandwich & chips/crisps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find it interesting how the english word poison, though it does indeed stem from french, has nothing to do with the french word poisson (fish). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also a fun fact: i don't think i have ever had fish soup |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go get some! but make sure it's got actual pieces of fish in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What kind of fish is usually in it? ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That just really depends on what kind of fish you like. That's what soups are all about.. they aren't really a dinner (how often do you hear "oh, I'm full up; no more soup for me?"), but you can make it out of just about anything you feel like. |

I used to love being a twat here...I just can't raise the enthusiasm any more. My favourite time on the board was just after dog_belch joined and took a disliking to me. That was fun before I fell in love with him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At the moment you realise you love the belch you know it can only go downhill. Personally, I'm starting to think that the moment when threads about the bad state of the board pop-up, coincide with the boards peaks. Apart from the moaning about the current state, all is pretty good. Boring in a good way, that is. Actually, I'm not really bothered. |

i felt like this place was doing great, really. the only nasty thing is those conspicious (how do you spell a monster like that?) members popping up, and its no wonder they get a lot of fucks and nasties when inquiring about 'ur fave apex twins trax lol', they're so phoney its not even funny. also; funkmaster is a right knob with his redrum bashing antics, and i'm a knob for reacting, but that's not to say the entire board is uncivilized. imhoteps. a case of sillyness, this thread. |

How many of these members has your girlfriend met in real life? I'm equally abrasive & ironic in real life, and I'm sure Dan isn't shrinking in one corner of his house quivering every time his doorbell rings. E.t.c. E.t.c. |

there's a lot more retards now though |

One thing that's changed on the board for the positive is that more members are posting their own music. I've been here for ~4 years and that has only just recently become really regular, the [spam] threads and etc. I like it. |
||||||||
|

like me |

ok heres how i see it. electronic music is in a very sorry state at the moment people become tired and jaded we have trolls as much as any board people often misinterpret satire or sarcasm or whatever because it is damn near impossible to interpret in text this leads to flame wars and you never know on either side who is fooling and who is actually genuinely pissed off this leads to further resentment the board is established enough that people have made their allies the board is hostile to new members the board has too many dupe accounts and they piss us off so we are naturally hostile to new members (see above) we're a bunch of geeky fucks anyway lets just shut this place down |
||||||||

|

im sorry for posting my spam on here.. i only come here to talk about music so i guess people don't see me as a part of the community cause i never engage in any of the other threads.. which can be said about a lot of people.. when i come here it's to see others opinions on new or old albums, i love reading that.. but i dont have time to engage in one liners and (imo) meaningless circlejerk threads.. but as long as there are (imo again) interesting and meaningful threads (mostly) about music i'll keep coming back.. i do appreciate none the less that most people on here are vell versed in music in general, regardless of any off topic threads.. |

Indeed. dog_belch called one of his neighbours a cunt the other week. Whilst I'm sure that people who are sarcastic and offensive in real life are no shrinking violets online, I don't think we can assume that is the case for all who behave this way on messageboards, let alone the majority of posters who do. |

if you think this is bad than you should check w***m. old topics from 2002 seemed very friendly as if no one knew each other, but respectly each other almost as if they were shy. now its come to, you can be a cunt, because your hiding behind a name. |

|
|
maybe it should be an invite only |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like, we could be the oink of messageboards |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Instead of acting as the passport control of Oink that we are now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you know, I still don't know what oink is (other than it's by invite only) and have little interest in finding out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you know that i still don't know what a flac is nor a bitTorrent for that matter (other than they have something to do with ripping music files i'm guessing) and i don't have a soulseek account nor any other p2p service as well, assuming that's what soulseek is. bam. |

I feel the same way. I've been here for five years, though I'm mostly a lurker these days. Part of the reason is a busy life outside of the internet, but also generally for the same reason as some of the older members have, as Ceri mentioned. It could also be that this board has been a "tribute" to some of the major Warp artists such as Autechre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada, though they seem less active now than they did earlier this decade. In other words, it seems that the overall theme on which the board is based has been showing fatigue, and therefore there's less of a base to support it now than there was a few years before. I think demographic factors play into this as well. There's been a lot of turnover in members who frequent the board. More than half of the original members who were here five years ago have gone off elsewhere, and XLT is probably a thing of the past to them. Then again, this board isn't really unique in this; plenty of other messageboards throughout the internet have followed a similar trend I'm sure. |
