A little bird on my shoulder told me about the new CHem Brothers Album

[full on idle]

that's why god made board mods. isn't it?

We don't need mommy if we police ourselves.

[full on idle]

either that, or it's getting turned into a shit board filled with people who do nothing but bitch and moan.

Precious.

[TomAz]

We don't need mommy if we police ourselves.

it doesn't seem to be working, at least not in this thread.

[full on idle]

He removed the link.

[TomAz]

oh. nm.

[full on idle]

Nice attempted burn though boss.

[wmgaretjax]

One of the best message boards on the web has an other "Music" section that has actually become one of the best sources for leaks and hard to find music. It seems to be doing fine.

So bah.

[full on idle]

Good, go there.

You're missing my point if you think I'm saying it would make the board unsuccessful. I'm sure if we had threads for all the leaked albums we come across it would be a popular board indeed. The purpose of NOT posting full, leaked albums is to keep a bit of class and respect around so that people don't just come to this board to get leaked albums. Is that an outdated point of view? I don't even know anymore.

Preserve the underground, man.

[mountmccabe]

I am with that, cuz.

And I never saw any Justice.

[TomAz]

Nice attempted burn though boss.

it was not an attempted burn. you misread me. boss.

[amyzzz]

Tom, you're screwing up my ignore function.

hahaha.

[TomAz]

[amyzzz]

That's it. I'm ignoring you.

[amyzzz]

Yeah, it is outdated. What the hell does "class" have to do with it? So what if people come here just to get leaked albums? They tend to be lurkers and not impact you dramatically anyways. Just look at Atease, they still have a thriving hardline community, but a huge number of lurkers. Who cares about lurkers? Ignore them, it really isn't that difficult.

If there is music out there that people want to listen to, but can't get a hold of, why not distribute it? I don't want this to turn into a "illegal downloading" discussion, because that isn't the point.

The underground? Do you really think this message board is that special? That unique?

[TomAz]

you and yablo have more in common than either of you realize.

(edit: that was for amy)

I think if this message board turns into a conduit for leaked albums, I don't really want to be associated with it. And yeah, I like to think of this place as a little bit classy; meaning I like that we keep the shit on the dl about leaked albums and where we get them because it is illegal and there are a lot of artists that don't appreciate it.

I definitely don't think this message board is "that" special or unique anymore, no. My comment about keeping the underground preserved is more a general statement about keeping things low key.

This is how I feel and it used to be the way things rolled around here. If you reply to me all aggressive and angry, I'm not going to engage in further discourse.

Sorry man I have my forcefield up.

so... classy means hiding that you are doing something that you clearly think is "wrong?" as opposed to doing it in the open?

clearly i am angry AND aggressive. This is a HUGE deal to me.

[amyzzz]

you and yablo have more in common than either of you realize.

(edit: that was for amy)

Is that some sort of bizarre three-way request, Tom?

[TomAz]

Is that some sort of bizarre three-way request, Tom?

no. that's not it at all.

[amyzzz]

Oh crap. I guess I'd have to be a guy for that to happen.

What are you asking me?

[J~$$$]

RRB.

[full on idle]

hubba hubba

[TomAz]

for once, amy, I'm not getting your jokes.

[amyzzz]

I thought you were referring to your crush on yablo. And I threw in a gay joke so I could be one of the guys. Sorry it's not working.

[TomAz]

your basic premise is misguided, you have me confused with chris or ronnie or someone.

[J~$$$]

What about me tommy?

[amyzzz]

No, I remember you saying at one point that you going from having a crush on yablo to hating him, or at least you agreed with me when I said that. This was months and months ago though.
