Uh.
The Sky I Scrape is now a WIKI Page !?!
WTF

I've been spending way too much time looking for mp3ed books on tape and other such junk ... and totally not paying attention to Pearl Jam Land ... songs on soundtracks, internal demos, videos i didn't know existed (wiltern?) ... TB2K6 and TB2K7 Rarities !?! Too much shit i have missed out on ...

... and then i find THIS: TSIS Now A Wiki Page

I am SOooooooOOOOOooooooo not sure how I feel about this.

Ok.
Actually i am.
I am none too pleased.
WTF?

I never go to Red Mosquito, and having just done so for the first time in a year, was lost ... they compartmentalized all their forums ... they have one dedicated to that stupid web riddle game (can you say: lame-o?) ...and i can't find anything on TSIS becoming a Wiki page.

ANYONE GOT ANY INFO?

When\Why did this happen.
Who thought it would be a good idea.
Did they archive the web pages.
WTF?

Yeah.

just WTF in general.

Not Happy About This.
:(

    Yeah, I'm not so sure I like it either.

    You used to be able to right click and save the live songs they had, but I haven't figured out where/how to do that on the new site.

    I like the layout though and the video for many songs is pretty cool.

    I'll play around with it for a while before passing judgement.

  • Nevermind that... I just browsed around and found the lyrics to "Hunger Strike"

    "But it's on the table
    The fire's cooking"

    I always thought it went "But it's on the table if I just cook it"... ?!
  • neil jam? WTF... is it seriously called like that:(
    or is this a strange mistake from the author.
    I don't want to be the fool that's behind me but I am...

    I'll Hold The Pain... Release...

  • neil jam? WTF... is it seriously called like that:(

    Pearl Jam (minus eddie) backing Neil Young on that 95 tour was and is commonly refered to as "Neil Jam".

    Not a mistake.
    :D

    ::smacks forehead::
    doh!

    Almost as bad as my mom refering to this song as "The Powerline" song when it came out ... "I do like that one song he sings on. The Powerline song" ... after repeated questioning i finally deduced she was talking about Hungerstrike and had no idea he was saying "But I Can't Feed On The Powerless"

  • I thought the wiki homepage was temporary until the 'new look' tsis is ready to go...

    i hope so,
    but i'm not sure they would put that much effort to transfering all that shit to wiki if it wasn't intended to keep it there.

    Now maybe they are doing that IN ADDITION to revamping the actual web page... which i would totally support ... hey more is better than less ... right? (ooh. unless we are talking about government!)

    but uh ...
    i cringe at the thought of loosing TSIS to Wiki, exclusively.

    :(

    It's not temporary. I hate it too, I don't even visit the site anymore, I just go straight to the forum.
    “Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”

    Bah!
    WTF, why would they do this?

    I suspect they may have received a "request" from management, because their material by-and-large is in competition with the pearljam.com setlist\song archive.

    ?

    anyone

    ?

    This sucks.

    VIVA TSIS!

  • their imrpov section used to be huge under songs, now it has 27 entries.. i hate that.
    Van '98, Sea I+II '00, Sea '01, Sea II '02, Van '03, Gorge, Van, Cal, Edm '05, Bos I+II, Phi I+II, DC, SF II+III, Port, Gorge I+II '06, DC, NY I+II '08, Sea I+II, Van, Ridge , LA III+IV' 09, Indy '10, Cal, Van '11, Lond, Van, Sea '13, Memphis '14, RRHOF '17, Sea I+II '18, Van I+II, Vegas I+II, Sea I+II '24
  • i totally hate it too..... the old lay-out was much better looking, and it seems like there's far less info and pics and stuff on this new wiki page...
    the section i miss most is the special setlist archive, where you could easily browse songs and cities and dates. it was much more efficient than the archive on pj.com.

    the "new" tsis blows. :(

    Competition? Pearljam.com stole all the setlists from TSIS! :p
    I think that was just a very lame idea

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS TSIS !?!?

    I'm SICK of this wiki BULLSHIT!

    :(:(

    If i want to reference a song for someone, i ALWAYS went there. they had THE best MOST RELIABLE source of mp3s for rare songs etc...

    ALL GONE.

    WHAT FOR?

    WTF!

    :(:(:(

    EDIT: Look at THIS bullshit.
    They have a "LINKS" page, and they put Theskyiscrape.com in there under "Fan sites".
    And guess where it links to? RIGHT BACK TO THE GODDAMN WIKI.
    FUCKING ASSHOLES!

    If you read tsis homepage, it states....

    UPDATE: Some big changes are currently taking place, so many pages might look ugly and/or in disarray, but it is just a transition and we are working on making things look nice.

    Also, it is a free site.... if the webmasters want to put a pile of dog crap on the homepage and translate the entire site into Cantonese with blinking font more power to them....
