Shuttlecock! XIX: Servers of the Disappeared

[martha]

Spoiler

I honestly wish that entire thread would get closed down and not allowed to come back, as it detracts far too much from actual conversation going on in the normal threads. Most people don't want to venture into the random thread, myself included a lot of the time, and thus never see if there's a mention of an actual band they like. It's incredibly lazy, people go post things there when there's a thread about the band one or two pages back. It causes a massive lack of discussion between regulars and not-so-regulars, and makes casual posters feel even less included. It does nothing but make the entire rest of Bang and Clatter feel dead. Random "music" or "movie" threads are completely unnecessary if that entire section of the forum is dedicated specifically to music or movies.

I kind of like the randomness of the random music thread when it's actually about random music. When the same band is discussed for several posts due to laziness, it does get annoying, but a post or two about a band, then moving on is fine.

I do think they're going to get shut down now that they're just chatting.

The movie thread sticks more to the topic, I guess. I kind of feel bad for keeping the music one decidedly off-topic, but I just enjoy having a good conversation any place.

I hate that thread. Notice I boosted a 4 year old thread to avoid going in there to talk about Jenny Lewis.

You're a shining example of how to utilize the B&C forum.

I've been bored before several U2 concerts - crappy opening bands!

I've been lucky in this regard—Arcade Fire three straight shows.

Although, I did want to slit my wrists during Dashboard Confessional in Toronto.

I'm leaving Saturday for three weeks, so I have a bunch of stuff to go do. I'll check in later.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Fucking tell me about it.

The less Bono talks, the better the show.

I should have started a new Jenny Lewis thread?

 

[BoMac]

I don't know what it is, but when people say shit like that (and there's always at least one), my response is completely irrational. I realize it's ridiculous that it makes me so pissed off, but it does.

I believe my Wimbledon thread is an even better example.

GTFO!

Dashboard Confessional was all I got

Scumbo is their fan club president or something though, so I can't make fun of them

No no I was being serious, I swear. U2popmofo's comment referenced being too lazy to find existing threads, and that's what you did.

I'll just be quiet now.

No! I was being serious! U2popmofo's comment referenced being too lazy to find existing threads, and that's what you did.

Oh. : patsselfonback :

So-oooooo.....we were in the same building at the same time? I don't know what's a worse thought: that, or the fact that I was standing where the Leafs play.

Yessir.

Suttlecock! XX: um ..... I got nothing.

Shuttlecock XX: Oh hi, Bono.

Shuttlecock XX: The Real Thread. Accept No Substitutes.

Don't be dragging your in-jokes from the other thread in here, LMP.

But please explain it to me, because I missed that.

Time for the next installment. Anyone?
