    Um...why do you think they shut it down that one time? Why don't you go read the guidelines that were posted after that? Yes, seriously.

    The pit was shutdown? For how long and when was this? Because of cliques?

    As well as I can remember...at least the AET.

    I really need to preface my posts with "IMO" :p

    but yeah I guess the mods thought stuff was out of control. :confused:


    But anyway I love how you can voice your opinion on here w/o people jumping down your throats :rolleyes:

    In all honesty, it is neither more nor less cliquey than it's always been.

    Seriously, Cliques on a messageboard???
    it's true, they've always been on here, and still are....it's the thing i dislike probably the most here. when it got shut down it was a bit more out of control i suppose

    the thing i like most are the people i've befriended that i've met here :)

    Having met quite a few of you now, I'd have to say what I like the most about this forum is that you're all good people, and I've yet to meet, from this board, the anti-social, creepy Internet weirdo types that likely frequent the rest of cyberspace. I've met a couple of people from the poetry forum too, and whereas I'd thought in advance they'd be complete psycho fuckups dressed in black and carving "Death" in their foreheads every three seconds, I was relieved to find they were down to earth, gregarious, shallow fuckers, just like I am! :D

    I still think the best thing I've ever seen on this board was the 'Jeff Ament Stole My Basketball' thread. :)

    The friends have definitely been an amazing part of it... but the friends I have made in real life... I don't necessarily chat to the most here :confused: Hmmm... so I really don't know!

    The weirdos and the freaks, those who consider themselves 'normal'... The bickering, the making up, the support and the advice... The pictures, the laughs, the hugs and the love... The relationships and the jokes...

    but above all, the people... My friends :)

    Oh... and Audiodave I suppose... :rolleyes:

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    the bit where i can go back and look at all my previous posts.... ohhhh thats my favourite bit.. i love that... it completes me.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It started out as the place where I could find out all the rare shit about PJ that I was unaware of.

    Now, its the place where I can just pop in and out just to shoot the shit and discuss topics from "the meaning of sleight of hand" to "my favorite thing about the message pit" to "woman feeds pieces of child locked in cage to family".

    WTF? its great in here! its got it all!

    Last but not least, its a place where people share an interest in one of the greatest things in this life....Pearl Jams music.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    The fact that nobody here seems to care that I am completely naked except for fishnet stockings right now.

    I agree. I have too many friends as is. Sometimes you need to even out your universe.
