Goodbye, this use to be a really cool place

For whatever it is worth:

The Porch
Step out on the porch to discuss Pearl Jam's music, tour, appearances, causes they support, etc. It's all about Pearl Jam here.

It leaves the thread discussion topics pretty broad.

We're not all special little flowers, Hank.

I am a goddamned snowflake, I don't care WHAT Tyler Durden says.

I also need deadendp and her asterisk!

We're all brilliant asterisks! (Ask, Hedonist, and ye shall receive!)

In all seriousness, my time here on the boards has been brief in relation to time other people have been here. In my short time, I've noticed that the boards have seasons. When touring, you have the ISO (name your venue here) threads. During Mystery Box sales, we have those threads. Sometimes I sift. Sometimes I decide to fold the laundry and clean the dishes instead. But I do agree with 2-feign.

The forum isn't time clock attached. Be in when you want to be. Be out when you want to be. Just make sure that you enjoy what you are doing. (Whether it be here or elsewhere.) If you aren't, then make a change.

Ha! You rock, with this said not as a recipient.

I'm actually listening to the Benny version of Down at the moment.

PERFECT.

Long live this music, and us with it, long as we may run.

Ladies, you are awesome!

Thank you! Let that asterisk shine with BRILLIANCE! :emoji throwing glitter:

Hank why leave like someone else stated just take a break ..

Like someone else stated??? Someone else??? No respect.

Lol. .

Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

See you in a week or so.

AssCo practically invented the term "e-commerce". We will e-enable the capability of action-items to facilitate. The mindshare factor can be summed up in one word: backward-compatible. Your budget for engaging should be at least one-tenth of your budget for innovating. Is it more important for something to be cross-media or to be leading-edge? It may seem confused, but it's realistic! The capability to reinvent intra-macro-intra-vertically leads to the power to transform interactively. We will revolutionize the capability of applications to target. Imagine a combination of PNG and WAP. The TQC factor can be summed up in one word: real-time.We here at AssCo have proven we know that it is better to deploy perfectly than to scale ultra-wirelessly. Our feature set is unparalleled, but our virtual, innovative, innovative, distributed communities and non-complex use is constantly considered a remarkable achievement. Our ubiquitous feature set is unmatched, but our social-network-based user-centric structuring and newbie-proof use is always considered a remarkable achievement. What does it really mean to enhance "extensibly"? The e-businesses factor is bricks-and-clicks. Our feature set is unmatched, but our killer data hygiene and newbie-proof operation is usually considered a remarkable achievement. Quick: do you have a customized strategy for dealing with new web-readiness? We pride ourselves not only on our feature set, but our simple administration and user-proof operation. Our cross-media feature set is second to none, but our turn-key interactive bandwidth and simple use is always considered an amazing achievement. Without reporting, you will lack architectures.

Honestly, I always skip reading your posts. U seem like an asshole and a bully. And by announcing you're leaving just confirms it. Who cares? Just leave.

I counted 14 of the 28 threads on the first page were merchandise/vinyl related, it use to be that 80 to 90% of the threads were about the music or tour dates or stuff band related, and the merchandise threads keep taking over more and more of the porch, no offense to people who want to spend their time speaking about the merchandise, just not very inspiring for me, I joined this group because I assumed that it was a bunch of people who wanted to talk about the music. I know this thread will get locked because there is a constant attempt to limit free expression even when clearly nothing I have said violates the board rules. I will stay until they announce a Canadian Tour, but I will only be keeping that one thread active for my many friends in Canada, after that I am gone, probably going to let my membership expire too (I might keep it just for the setlist threads over in Given To Fly), I can always get tickets on Facebook. Maybe it is just me, but I can't see why it so hard to have a section just for people who want to talk about the band, the tour dates and the songs (although maybe this is the way the band wants it, as they play fewer and fewer shows, maybe they want it to be all about merchandise), but all these other threads make it too hard to sift through, so my best wishes, but this time is for good unless they create a forum that is about the songs, tour dates and the band, so good luck to everyone, this is a bummer, there were so many great discussions in here, my time on The Porch is nearing it's end, proof that not all change is for the good (although I am sure some are rejoicing, lol). No hard feelings, best wishes to everyone.

This place is not for you. How's that for being about the music?
You like stats? Here are a few: you have 7092 posts. Of those, 655 were new threads. That's damn near 10%. And that 655 indicates only the first post! I'd be willing to bet that 90% of your posts are in your own threads. So are you here to talk about the music with other fans, or to hear yourself talk? pretty sure if you used the search function we could also eliminate a huge portion of your threads.
You create a thread called "create-a-new-fucking-section-in-the-forums-called-spin-the-black-circle"....nothing to do with the sub forum topic....then you bitch about it getting locked in another off-topic thread....which you wrote to bitch about off topic threads?
Lawd I could continue, but the drama!
'Fuck atta here.
