Is there too much boring b/s on mb.c??

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 4:14 pm

just wondering what people think....

I voted no.

Depends what you call bullshit though.

If off-topic, non music related stuff is bullshit - then bring it on.

If bullshit is the senseless threads that could probably be replaced with a PM - then yes, there's no need for any more of those IMO.

If by 'bullshit' you mean stuff that doesn't directly concern or interest me personally, then yes.

bullshit = post whoring for post whoring sake....but i mean to the absolute extreme of it i.e. posting something after someone says anything. Also starting threads that just make no sense, or are useless or could be put elsewhere (i.e. gripe thread, bigup thread, links thread).

I mean there is always fun and games around here which is rad, buts its getting fuckin stupid sometimes.

the third poll option relates to those who continually start threads about themselves which could easily just go in the Bigup thread.

No. What constitutes boring Liz. Is it is reference to people talking shit? People are talking shit (all of us) because we are bored. What is your propersition only talk about music? There are other parts of this forum that are dedicated to that. the "melbourne beats' section is general so that where people go to talk shit.

I've even tried to strat threads specifically to talk about music and peeps have posted that thsoe threads are lame. You can't win, I mean you can't please everybody.

what do you consider boring? mindless banter. arguments about stuff? threads about side issues?

What i find endlessly annoying on here is how quickly threads get cained by stupid banter.

Sorry Gnatwa for using your thread here, but its a good example. Count how many posts til it turns into a stupid banter contest -

http://melbournebeats.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8635

personally, i went into this thread to check out what restaurants where listed by people, got pissed off by the stupid banter and left it.

i know banter is hell funny an all. but sometimes, its just bloody annoying when it starts up so quickly in threads like this that actually serve a purpose for the person who started it, and for others who may find it of interest. I know this one ain't music related, but its an example.

I think everyone who spends a resonable amount of time posting on theis site is responsible for their own fair share of 'bullshit' posts. Just because they're not being made by people in your own clique doesn't make them any less valid.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 5:09 pm

that ain't the point of it Will, not at all.

Get her back by carrying round a walkman and some PC Speakers mounted to your shoulders and putting on "TC- Deep" whenever she comes into the room.

Best if it's distorted.

No offence intended, but I've found Grey Son, Factory Worker, and Kronz (and Will to some extent) a little annoying by posting useless banter in every single thread in the last week.....

It has been getting a bit much, but then again, who am I to say you shouldn't.

it's "whatever" really. I'm just as bored as them, so I've found parts of it rather amusing. The majority is just

though

Grey Son · Post by **Grey Son** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 5:52 pm

Well i guess im home all day so i have alot of time to post shit. Maybe its because there isnt enough " interesting " shit goin on as well. I dont know, public forum i guess.

Apologies if I missed something at my forum training but isn't this all a big time wasting device in the first place?

No offence taken Dan. I find your directness quite refreshing. On a similar note, to take into account my recent bordeom I strated 2 posts and found peopl estrying into topics they dind't know about or didn't want to positively contribute to who either baghged me out or gestured in ways that indicated those threads were pointless. What can you do?

nic · Post by **nic** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 9:42 am

no there aint to much boring shit, there isnt enough. too much non rave related stuff ie (heavy rock).

some good discussions where everyone gets to assert intelligence and extreme deabtes that degrade (improve?) to teef.

not enough music talk lol.

too much about kronz'z end of exams, i found myself thinking about them more often than i was reading them
"oh kronz has his last exam today, oh no"

wait

but thats my fault for spending way to miuch work time on here. all in all i think this is the most pontless thread in along time.
