  • I dunno. The train is still arguing about the same shit. The porch still has fifty threads about the same thing, two or three about the most minuscule pearl jam reference ever (Holy crap! I heard pearl jam on "where ever"." and a few threads that are pretty interesting. And the AET is still silly and zany.

    I've used those a little, but still not sure how that replaces a message board for a specific topic like Pearl Jam.

    When I was on myspace, there were forums for Pearl Jam, but those were really just message boards so it's hard for me to understand how myspace or facebook would replace them. Sure you're going to a different place, but it's still a message board.


    No, people just don't bother with message boards at all. They communicate differently on social networking sites, via comments and bulletins, largely about nothing in particular.

    Well I could be wrong, but I don't really see comments on a social site replacing threads of information from a message board.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    They won't replace them. People will just stop passing on as much information. I think that's probably what they're there for. ;)

    ive noticed that lately paople are getting really narky and cut you down alot quicker. if you make a comment that someone doesnt agree with it gets alot more nasty...i get scared to say what i really think sometimes :(

    Did you just read my post in the heroin thread? :o I saw you just posted in it.

    Because I'm not normally like that :) The guy I was replying to just really wound me up over something that is very serious to me.

    I wasn't on the old board...so I can't say if it's changed...the only thing I've seen that has bothered me is when a poster is personally attacked or criticized...whether it's about a thread they created...their point of view on an issue...their personal experiences/choices...that they've posted too much on a thread...blah blah blah...i'm all for debating a topic...but when it comes to debating a person I feel very uncomfortable.

    I think message boards in general are becoming a thing of the past.

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. With competion from Myspace, facebook, ipods and other forms of entertainment message boards are disappearing fast in participation.

    I used to lurk between '01-'03 under a different name, which I forgot. Anyways, I remember I used to get into fights with a few DMB, Korn and Slipnot fans on the Pit.

    I'm so glad I haven't encountered any of those fans here since I rejoined. Seems like all the DMB, Korn/Slipnot fans disappeared and entered the Radiohead, Jack Johnson and KoL fans. Which is for the better !!!! ;)

    I don't know whether to be suprised, shocked, or whatever that I haven't seen anybody use the "It's evolution, baby" quote yet....;) :p

    I do agree that some of the personal attacks are uncalled for and have gotten a little out of hand. I'm all for having fun, free speech, and debate, but not at the expense of someone else.
