If someone identifies a problem at my work, they're put in charge of correcting it. So I think DS should be in charge of an AET retention and creativity program

That's a helluva way to stifle dissent and criticism!
but then i suppose complaining to people about a problem you've noticed is a helluva way to pass the buck. hmm
yup. only ds can fix this. god help us all.
I never look to see what forum I'm in
just answer a thread from the heart.
On a positive note I think creativity abounds, I laugh, I cry, I'm entertained, I get pissed off,
I have insight into people which I absolutely love.
Even the standard threads that are hit daily I like cause I am sharing what someone else
is experiencing far away. I think that is awesome I like people.

Dammit. Haven't gotten treated to such an awesome video in a while. Thanks

omg did i just put DS in charge? :? :fp:
"I need your strength for me to be strong...I need your love to feel loved"
or the Dan Marino picture in just about every thread? :?
Hi - I am the reason DS put the Dan Marino picture on so many threads. It was his return serve of nonsense because of a 'tit for tat' discussion we were having. I am sorry it ruined your experience here (and others), but it was so awesome seeing my hero on a Pearl Jam fan board.
CurlyGirl9 made a tremendous valid point - lots of threads and topics either get created or replied to and then die (for some odd reason). And perhaps DS is right, they get bumped down past the pgs 3-4 and nobody meanders there. I for one find CurlyGirls topics often interesting and will respond more, I promise.
I used to ONLY "lurk" in the Porch because it was a great way to get some info on the band, read some funny "guesses" and "requests" of where they might play - and once in a while get turned on to a new version of a fave or bootleg I might not have previously known about. I had no idea what AET or A Moving Train were about until I accidentally posted something about the Mets in the "Porch" and it was politely pointed out to me I should hang out more in AET...
This forum is highly entertaining - on my levels. However, there is (like over in AMT) a HUGE amount of hatred, disrespect, over-the-top ballbreaking, shooting down of opinions and general nastiness that - quite frankly - doesn't make it an appealling place to come visit. Just being honest.
I was unemployed for a good stretch this year (from June to Dec 1) and this place was my therapy. Seriously. When I got stressed or sad or nervous, I could come here and see the wisdom of Byrnzie, ComeBackGirl, HughFreakinDillon - the kindness of Dimi, Mikalina, the humor of 81, DS, Chadwick, Mamasan, the beer philosophy of Horos and Shep, the love of music of SatansFuton, PeaceFromPaul and Newch - etc (and I apologize if I left you out)...All of you and the aforementioned helped me get through tough stretches, in most cases, and made me look forward to checking in on this community daily...
Then the elections happened...and some tragic shootings...and man this place has not only NOT been the same, its not even required daily reading/contributing anymore. The nastiness, division, negativity and downright lack of gratitude for each other and plain ol' decency made me check out. Sadly this place isn't a daily recommended or desired place (for me). I sense that is the case with a lot of missing members.
Think that answers your question too DS.
Merry Xmas everyone. And goodwill to you fellow man.
I find AMT, and even the Porch to some extent, a difficult place to hang out at times. I have to distance myself from those places at times. I stayed away from AMT for about 5 years or so, but I'm glad I found my way back there because there are some very cool people on there that don't often visit this forum. AET is my sanctuary. Being here usually just makes me feel good. It goes through cycles of how fun or creative it is, then it will slow down. People have been making similar comments since I first joined

Im not kidding when I say this DS, your threads are some of the most creative...maybe you set the bar too high.
I think thread starting is an art...some of us have it, some of us not so much...I only think about music, beer, and getting naked, so my thread creativity is kinda sub par.
i like the creativity of 10c new system with tickets!!!awesome!

Well, damn at least i'll have one response in my "music, beer, naked" thread I've been pondering since October 2006.

Mee tooo...I guess I'm narcissistic like that. There's still time Lloyd, it could take off, or get the honorary "2 year later bump" from DS in 2015... I do thank you for putting my name up in lights for a day though
i keep thinking about starting a "Marry, Screw (can't use the other word), Kill" thread...because the possibilities are endless...and it would be interesting to see what people would say...but I pretty sure it would have a high chance of getting locked...

Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
look at the front page of the AET - it's all threads with 6,000 pages of replies
have we run out of ideas? are new people avoiding this part? has Gary caused all this?
has this place become even more cliquey then it's always been?
thoughts?
