    Ironically, this thread has been buried by the music game threads.

    I guess I don't mind them, however if by chance this Message Pit is on the same server as the "Goods Section" on Pearljam.com, I'd hope these long threads aren't a straw on the camel's back with regards to server capacity.

    I was going to bring up the same thing. I'm sure the same people who post on those threads are some of the same ones who complain about the server crashing.

    That's hilarious.

    Surely they'd delete them if they thought that were the case?
    I love them and play often. I have actually come to hear about certain bands that I would not have heard of otherwise.

    I'm pretty sure that most people who post in those threads are only doing so to raise their post count.

    Yeah it is very annoying when threads disappear because someone has posted on every game thread going. I wish they had a seperate forum for people who want to play these games.

    ....or not have the games :)

    The people trying to order tickets are the ones who complain about that. :rolleyes:

    I know that. I'm saying the same people who complain about the server crashing when they buy tickets also waste server space with their stupid games. :rolleyes:

    You know what might be worse than the games? When people just post lyrics or start a lyric and want the rest of the thread to finish it.

    I just saw one on the front page of Porch, for, coincidently, "Porch". Kill me now.

    I was just thinking that! :eek: What do people get out of that? Is it just a way for lonely people to get folks to pay attention to them?:p
