the funny thing about this is that i thought i had fucked up my right index finger, went & got x rays on it and was told that i had "trackpad finger", so i'm v sensitive to your post

if noone wants a separate metal board then all metal threads are done on ILM. it's as simple as that. If you dont like them dont read them. Noone is going around telling goons to stop making threads. ILM is supposed to be for everyone as was made clear by people who were against a sub-board which included those who do like metal and those who dont.

xp

i tried to ruin ilx? haha get real. I was not the person who set out to ruin a sub-board.

Whiney otm tho

it depends -- when he starts threads about non-current rap i don't have a problem w/ it, but otherwise i think it's stupid

one of the less irritatingly excessive aspects of his posting style

srs question - why does what you think matter at all about how other people start threads tho? xpost

whiney - wasn't it this time last year when we were complaining about a buttload of crappy bracket polls

It's not that ilx hates metal it's that it hates shitty threads. Youre like trying to fuck kids at a birthday party and going "why do you hate clowns?"

i'm not saying it does, which is why i don't go around complaining about threads any more than the average high-volume ilx poster

Xpost lol yes. whiney g, ilx neat freak! :)

after lining up the stuffed animals in order by size?

fwiw i really hate it when people start a lot of stupid threads

Lol remember "ilx listening club" that was fun for a week

so whiney you want only 1 rolling metal thread and no other metal threads on ilm everything to stay on it?

I dont understand this "things get lost" assertion some people have - we do have a perfectly functional search function!

eg the other day I was into some Meshuggah jams so I looked up a random mesguggah thread, revived it, and it stayed up a day or 2. If I'd had to trawl thru a single metal thread of 7565453453453 posts I would not have bothered.

like you always seem to have a problem with a large number of the same kind of "stupid" thread: bracket polls, autechre threads, the beatles and radiohead polls ...oh yeah and the listening clubs.

DONT MAKE THIS ABOUT ME

are rolling metal threads more ubiquitous than the beatles?

you know what i hate? self-indulgent threads about book deals always shitting up my sna, those guys are the worst

oh whoops xpost

people who worry about there not being enough quality threads obviously haven't been to I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX

come on whiney you want only 1 rolling metal thread and no other metal threads on ilm everything to stay on it?

honestly, can't we look on the bright side and appreciate the fact there aren't tons of bracket polls anymore?

There's two threads, you dumb dipshit. WHOOPS

granted i'm ignorant of metal, but i guess my point is that it seems to me that the 41 combined posts in 'rolling power metal' and 'rolling black metal' could easily be folded into the already existing 'rolling metal thread'

idk people who are interested in power metal prob dont want to interact w ppl who are interested in black metal

goons are more open to cross-pollination #thatsracist

AG, i want many many many metal threads, as I love metal. But having six rolling threads is overkill, come on

or do you just like telling people what threads are ok with you and those that aren't? Whiney G Weingarten Superthreadcop

like if we already had a 'rolling cereal thread', but then had a 'rolling fruit loops thread' and a 'rolling cheerios thread' and a 'rolling frosted flakes thread' and a 'rolling apple jacks thread' and a 'rolling corn pops thread' i think most ppl would go "i think this cereal discussion could be condensed'

why

c'mon Whiney -- don't compete with gr80 for captain of ilx thread police

fuck ppl who like fruit loops imo

Hahaha it's just silly! Goon is like the same 20 ppl, rolling metal is the same 20 ppl. Why chop them up?

like who gives a shit, are we running low on server space or something? this whole thing is so bizarre to me multixpoast

why are there sub boards in the first place?

why did you create a sub board two days ago?

the sub-genre rolling threads are there to stop threads being made on every metal band ever. I would have thought half a dozen rolling threads would be better than that. there is a problem with the rolling metal thread, everything gets lost in it.
Trayce might be in favour of having a thread on every band or album but im pretty sure noone else does.

have you considered that if your goon threads weren't just these huge cluttered threads that maybe more people would post on them? Like it kinda seems that the way your threads are set up, they're set up to be a bit insular?

why have ilm posters by and large in the last 5 years or so chosen to start rolling threads every year?

also uh you dudes realize that (ok not j0rdan) this is kinda a counter-argument to getting rid of the metal board right? or do you just like complaining for no reason

goons like being insular, no wai!

in terms of cultivating participation in threads, using the goon threads as a comparison is kinda ridiculous.

i don't even see why this is important, bu i'll address it anyway -- the idea that the rolling rap thread is insular is bullshit. there is a small community of consistent posters because a small amount of ilxors follow rap really closely -- there have been various posters of the past few years (zvookster, tpp, flopson, spottie_ottie etc to name a few) that have just shown up out of the blue and started posting in the thread -- it's incredibly easy to follow, there's probably 10-15 posts a day on average
