Was it something I said?

Prediction: you'll get a new forum, you'll play with it for a week, then you'll have to like clean out its cage and stuff, and you'll get bored and it will die. And you'll be back.

You need the naughtiness of bugging up the musickos to juice the otherwise not-muchness of just, y'know, chat.

Hey, how generous am I? Even tho this whole jazz-solo episode has diverted the entire attention-energy of a planet or three away from my million-word Bollocks Masterpiece, I'm still suggesting it's a half-baked idea.

Forgive ill-tempered gruffness above. Signal:noise ratio worries at ILM not as big a factor as external (work, site relaunch) stuff. It's just a catalyst and I *do* need a break - please pelt me with virtual rocks (via e-mail) if you catch me posting over the next week or so.

Tom, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Fwiw, I read (and loved) your bollocks piece.

Nicole, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It should be typed up properly and put on the re-launched FT. If all parties concerned agree, that is.

DG, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I must have missed something. What is the bollocks piece?

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I believe they refer to the Sex Pistols thread, Ned.

Josh, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Clarity is mine.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

*having reread it*

...hm. First time through I found it hard to follow, and I still do. Not to offend, Mark, but I'm very vague on what your point was.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'm more offended by DG's accusation: what's wrong with my typing!!

Point: er — no, don't get me started again. The mark s definition of precis = much longer with more details and twisty divergence and the waving of the arms.

mark s, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

No no no, I meant tart it up a bit, perhaps with a nice flowery border or something.

DG, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh, WE can do THAT at FT. Heh heh heh.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Effective immediately I am performing my civic duty by removing M. Raggett from his post as FT editor.

Josh, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

yeah, but what r we gonna do about Ned?

Geoff, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'm suprised more people didn't click 'egotisim'. I mean, _I_ did...

JM, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I wish it had more "maybe" answers. Some things can't be clarified with a simple "yes" or "no".

Good god, *9* people fancy the regulars? Is it one of YOU lot who keeps sending me those stupid online crush cards? ;-)

masonic boom, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I was about to say. M. Raggett is my dad, Mike by name, and he knows nothing of this 'Freaky Trigger' of which you speak.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I picked egotism, Jimmy.

Kate: Those crush cards, are they by any chance links to MP3.com? I've noticed a few websites all of a sudden have a new junkmail scam, in which they send you anonymous ecards and "crush" announcements to get you to click on their link. It's low as fuck - MP3.com has done this to me 3 times, with "an anonymous admirer!" or "your secret admirer!" as the sender. It's really lame.

I mean, I get those real crush things too, but you always have to fill out everyone you know then they think you're in love with them, etc etc etc. It's almost as bad as the MP3.com new mail tactic!

Ally, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

No, I definitely picked egoism. Mwah hah hah.

And I'm aware of the MP3.com fake ads, I've had a few of those. It was a different one- one of those ones where you have to put in the email addresses of everyone you know, trying to guess who it is. Which is stupid, because then they go and spam them, saying "someone you know has a crush on you..." and starts the whole thing over again. Talk about viral marketing...

masonic boom, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

eight years pass...

okay

Can't believe the poll still exists on that site nine years later.
