What would be good is if new registration was just banned for the month of January. It sounds kind of harsh, but think of all the detritus it would cut back on.

Lick an orange, it tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple, it tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead, try it. Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries! We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. Come along, come along.
best thread ever! if only for the fact that it turned into a flame war before most people got finished reading the original post.
my take on it is that, for the most part... long-term message board residents are elitist assholes on good days... you could post something completly relevant or something completly non-sensical and you're more than likely to get flamed equally either way. but it's a rite of passage. Each one of those elitist fucks got treated just the same as i'm gonna get treated and as any other "newbie" is gonna get treated and we can either suck it up and laugh it off or fuck off. But if you stick around long enough you'll get to the point where you can be the prick. Me, I don't care either way. I'm not here to impress anybody and i'm not here to NOT impress anybody either. I'll do my thing and how ever it's taken if fine and dandy with me.
I'm here because last year I spent what could possibly be the best three days of my life at Coachella and most days all I can think about is when i'll be there again. I'll tell ya though, it is kinda sad that the community representing that wonderful time of year doesn't even come close to having the same feeling... actually inspires the exact opposite of what Coachella stands for.

You have to hang around here a lot longer to get the "feeling."
I miss talking to TomAz.
We all do. I live in the same city as him (unless he relocated) and rumor has it that at 3:15am if you listen closely and its really really quiet you can hear him telling you to go fuck yourself.
haha. you think i'm not aware that that thread was neither a) needed nor b) funny? I just wanted to see what type of reaction it'd get (got what I was looking for by the way). And please point out where in my post i'm "whining or crying"? I'm just pointing out a simple fact that the majority of people who frequent this (or any other message board for that matter) are elitist pricks... yourself most definetly included. Do I care that you think you're better than me because you've ("you" is a generalization of course) been here longer or got a couple more posts than me? Do those qualification prove anything? Not in the least. I don't care if I get flamed? You (in this case you in particular), sir, matter so little to me that i'm not even going to finis...
ShyGuy would like the record to show that he never would have taken that tone or gave the Hogan boot to captcrzy if he had known she was a girl, and for that, he apologizes.

No ao, the message stands for the high school males it was intended for, and they know who they are. Woman and children getting maimed by crossfire is never a good thing.

Having been around this and the old board for awhile (though I do not post often) I have to say this board has gotten very hostile as of late. I agree that it is really annoying with all the really bad threads and posts but in some situations there are people with the best intentions that do not deserve to be flamed. This board is advertised on myspace as well as Coachella.com as a place to discuss thus drawing in many people and some of them may not frequent message boards and know the common protocal. Give some people a break. If they continue their idiocy then flame away.
This board is more hostile than craigslist rants and raves.
True enough. But i'm gonna take a step back from my original stance and say that it's understandable for this particular environment to be hostile. Mostly considering it's that time of year, long term residents have to deal with an explosion of non-sense (myself included in partaking in said non-sense.. yes i'm an ass). I even wanna shout at the computer screen every time I see that fucking poster with David Bowie at the top (but Rilo Kiley is on there too, so I just think of Jenny Lewis and smile.
I mean last year's Coachella got huge amounts of attendance and huge amounts of coverage due to a certain reunion and if anyone hadn't heard of the festival before, well, yeah... you get me. Once something official comes out it'll all cool down i'm sure. I JUST WANT THE FUCKING LINE-UP!!!!............................................ .(calm again)
uh i think the bottom line is...
this is the COACHELLA message board
if you think you have/need some info on coachella, THE BOARD ALREADY HAS THE ANSWER. IT KNOWS BEFORE YOU DO.
the board is smarter than you. accept it.
<--- not really since it's a sticky
but if i believed in sigs, there are many to take from this thread alone.![]()
Finally, a thread for all of you posters with severe superiority complexes to feel more superior.
Dammit. I'm a nOOb again.
Anyways, i'll contribute something to this thread at least. Here's a funny video for how not to be 'that guy'. http://www.buzzlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45863
oh god.
best/worst spambump ever
this was a fun thread - it was fun seeing the board's old color , too
heh. hold your color!
there have been a lot lately...
it's weird. when I joined the board, I don't remember there being any spam at all
dont post.
excuse me? I'm not bitching about the spam, it's an observation.
wtf dude? what's your beef with me today?
hahaha. i didnt even read your post. im sorry, i just read the title and posted. calm down piligrim, you're cool in my book whether i agree with you on something or not and whether you like it or not.
edit: also, the pill popping thing was total sarcasm.
edit2: but i must confess, now i wanna mess with you cause you think i am. but im not, and i wont. but damn its tempting. its like my rectal itch, i just wanna scratch it sometimes.

no worries, I figured it might be a misunderstanding. now I understand exactly what you meant, and I wholeheartedly agree :P
thought you might still be in a bad mood over de-tagification.
high five, buddy
