    what is the alternative board? never heard of it.

    http://giventopost.com/

    It's mainly populated by people who didn't make the switch over to here either because they weren't fan club members or out of solidarity to people who weren't fan club members.

    I skim it like once every so often to see if anything interesting is going on.

    wait a minuite, i thought we were talking about a different alternative board, one named after a certain no code song. i didn't even know about this one.

    I'm quite busy with my work, and there's not a whole lot new in Pearl Jam land right now, and I've got a lot of friends on a NIN board I go to; those are the main reasons I'm not here so much right now.

    the "what's it like to be attractive" thread was lively.

    That it was. First interesting thread of the new board, and they shut it down. I still haven't figured out why.

    Since they deleted the post, I assumed it was my comment about you. Sorry 'bout that. I certainly didn't think it would get the thread locked. :?

    seems like it was turning into more of a chat thread. with you being one of the guilty persons ;)

    Chat? Chat is the pathetic flirtation you see around these places too often. That was heated debate on an interesting subject. If that thread is what you consider chatting, then there is no thread on this board that isn't chatting. It wasn't our fault that most people were too chickenshit to throw their hats into the ring ;)

    Well said! ;):D

    I like this board, but I'm at the "alternative" one a lot more! :mrgreen:

    Why wouldn't you? There's a whole adult/sex forum there where horny and frustrated middle-aged men spend all day begging girls like you for sex or nude pictures... it's good for the ego!

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    It will pick up come the fall when the tour and new album come out.

    As for now the Lost thread, movie threads and soon the baseball threads will be heavily trafficked. It's just a slow time of the year and people are still getting used to this thing.

    I'm sure once the Christmas single gets announced and the re-issue of Ten gets shipped people will be back.
    yep....

    once the 4th of july holiday single gets shipped out.....
    once the new album is released.....
    once the birds are chirping and tickets for shows are announced.......

    this place will be back to its lively happy fun filled self...........

    u guys might as well check out giventopost.com (the alternative message pit as some refer to it).
    despite some nonsense, its a lot more interesting and more trafficed than this one is---and i don't mean to offend anyone by that.

    basically--and this has been discussed over and over again, but its the tenclub's fault for creating a pay to post atmosphere. i know its only 20 bucks a year and i argued with people that its not a lot of money. but a lot of people on the other board live in areas of the world/country where pj hardly ever tour, so its like they would just be paying to post on a message board, which is prety stupid.

    also--the layout of gtp is much more user friendly than it is here. i still can't get used to these weird colors and stuff....

    OMG that is so hilarious. Like a game is really selling out. :roll:

    And if Pearl Jam had put a game on a web site in 1996 it probably would have locked up the computer I owned back then. :lol:

    I don't mind the discussion about the Ten game. There's one thing worse than people talking about it, and that's people not talking about it.

    As for the "old" AET, well, let's be honest here: there are a million and one off-topic forums like it, all over the Internet. When this board changed, I doubt many people lost contact with one another. There are always other ways to shoot the breeze. And we may see an influx of people signing up to the 10c later this year with the new album. It only takes four or five rabid posters/argumentative gobshites to get an off-topic forum lively again. I wonder how many threads/posts on the old AET were made by the same few people, all the time.
    You wouldn't want it too busy, though, would you? The place would end up like Youtube for flame-fests and substanceless drivel.

    The one forum on here that really took a knock was Musicians and Gearheads. There was a fantastic community here, easily as good as The Gear Page or Harmony Central for sound advice. That's not something you can get back too easily.

    I agree with that statement and yes I have posted on there. :oops: Not proud about that. That didn't last long. It's for some people with no self esteem (especially women) to basically get themselves to sound like they are something they are not and to get attention they normally wouldn't ...It's attracting the "wrong" type of people. :evil:

    Well there is the "Adult Forum", and that's lead the regular topics and people that want to just ask questions out in the middle of no where. It sure doesn't help when some mods. are in the "Adult Forum" most of the time. Women are showing pictures of themselves in seductive poses, and what really worries me about this is that it someone will recognize them from there and with everything they say, and get themselves raped and/or killed. There are some real sick people out there. :?

    I just wish that some things could go back to the way they were :roll: there are some former good people out there that would love to come back here, but don't want to be made to pay any money to be here. :(

    Wish you were here...
