When ILX went registered-only, there was a huge discussion before it happened, and I think it was ultimately for the good.
that's not really the same; you can tell how that's going to work and there's a clear decision to be made. With this the problem it was solving didn't have clear edges, the solution didn't have clear edges, and what would actually happen was hard to predict. It'd have been exactly like the SB discussions were, except with even fewer facts.
It's always better to have some transparency than not
Agreed on this. There could always be a better job done, but we are getting better, i think. Compared to the v1 launch where I basically went "it's on, have at it" and the v4 launch where Keith posted a monster changelog, i'm def aware of the need to explain stuff.
(SNA, btw, affects the smaller boards because there threads are way more visible than before; even if none of their users ever step outside into the zinglands)

I still think that a lot of people click on "SB" as if it were the equivalent of voting up or down a post. I mean, I'm guessing a lot of these are joeks, but I wonder:
basket > foot > hock > watching paint > base

classic 90s, no question. the point where the beats/lyrics had evolved past simple funk loops/barney rubble type rhyme/rhythm schemes, but before the whole culture imploded due to its own weight and became a glossy shell.

Just about to listen to his Vascomaster cover on FP18 while I do a spot of light dusting around the house. Will I be delighted or disgusted?

Although to be fair I guess the best modern-day analog for Tristam Shandy would be "How I Met Your Mother," since it is essentially the same thing -- "let me tell you a story," and then the joke is that the story goes on forever before getting to anything remotely resembling what it's supposed to be about
xpost - ok, Cont., but then I don't really get what you are arguing -- I think everyone pretty firmly agrees that this is a more mainstream habit in the modern-day US than in the past

I liked the Orgy "Blue Monday" enough to hunt down the original on Napster in ninth grade and o.m.g. what a disappointment
