The DMB thread is a fucking embarrassment from this vantage point.
Which thread is this, I'd like to read it!

some really horrible poster started it under an assumed nameDave Matthews Band : Name Your Reasons Why They Are So Bad & Hated.

It was once the largest thread on ILX until registered log-ins came in. Random googlers were lols

the legend is that Jon W posted links to it on DMB forums. I've always meant to ask him if he did (to say thanks)
― Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:51 (eight years ago) link
that thread is 100% worth it IMO for this one googler post, i think about this all the time and not just for lolz (although mostly)
alright.. i only read the first bunch of postings.. and i dont know why there are so many haters out there.. dave is a great guy and does alott of work for charities.. pardon the spelling haha.. i dont know where you get corporate rock band from.. since hes libral as hell.. his lyrics are great.. just get beyond everyday and gravedigger.. his so smooth on the guitar its not even funny.. everyone in the band has incredible talent.. and i dont know how you can say its bland music.. some of the greatest artists ever are bland.. for example.. and keep in mind i love the beatles.. but "we all live in a yellow submarineee yellow submarinee.. la la la" its very boring as well.. oh and about his voice.. very few people have the range that dave has.. and what kind of music does everyone here listen too??.. besides britney spears and john mayer of course..― CcchrissS, Friday, December 9, 2005 10:25 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Tina bringing the cliches lols
You need to stop the hatin' on Dave. DMB are a terrifially talented band who write great songs, play their instruments well , sing with passion and write about important issues. You 'music fans' here can keep your alternative rock rubbish like Nirvana , Pearl jam , Sonic Youth and Pixies and leave the genius of real music like Dave Matthews to the millions of real music fans worldwide. Thats why they've sold millions of albums and gigs sell out instantly.― Tina R, Friday, 6 June 2003 16:06 (12 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post PermalinkAlso why do some people keep going on about regular date rapes while listening to dave? Wheres the evidence to back this up?― Tina T, Friday, 6 June 2003 16:08 (12 years ago)

I think now that Doobie Bros. are hip maybe in 10-20 years DMB will get some kind of 90s classic rock revisiting.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 17 July 2015 18:10 (eight years ago) link
they have a huge fanbase that's never gone away, and a mainstream 90s popularity that i doubt has turned to hatred in most of the people who bought the first two albums. they've got rock and roll hall of fame written all over them and yeah, no reason to think their hits and maybe even some album cuts will be huge on future equivalents of the classic rock format.

But not in the UK thankfully as nobody has ever heard of them over here

And after all that I have no idea what DMB are like.
I imagine if "Achy Nearly Heart" was a more serious song, that's what DMB would sound like..

I book marked this thread a while back, only now reading it. Funny thing: some of my friends (lawyers, mind, but I love them nonetheless) went to see DMB a week or so ago. I didn't even know the band was still active. I just kept thinking, "you still like this band?"

the new laura mvula is a good album that is neither quiet nor loud

I'm still plenty busy following ILM, but if there are legitimate concerns about the message board going down the drains I was thinking maybe we should try to... recruit new (young) posters?

i bet if you looked it up the 10th post on ILM was that it wasn't as good as the good old days
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:18 (seven years ago) link
Since I've gone over to the SNAside, I have no idea what ILM looks like these days. Isn't it all rolling (micro)genre threads and the occasional enormo-poll?
― Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:19 (seven years ago) link
I remember in like 2001/2002 there was complaints about nu-ilx but my op wasnt about not being as good as it was, just that it was quiet and had been for quite a while.
― Odysseus, Monday, 6 February 2017 17:21 (seven years ago) link
tom you traitor
would prefer to have new ppl come in organically, though i realize social media has made message boards like these a relic of the past
a more natural approach would be trying to get lurkers, of which there are supposedly many, to post more often
but FWIW i don't think this board is particularly close to 'going down the drains'
― ciderpress, Monday, 6 February 2017 17:22 (seven years ago) link
neither do i. its not what i meant in the OP.
SNA does seem to be a big reason for ILM being quiet as noone is starting many threads or reviving there.Do lots of people exclude ILM from their SNA in settings?
― Odysseus, Monday, 6 February 2017 17:23 (seven years ago) link
I exclude ILE from my SNA and treat it like its own thing, works much better that way around imo
― I Am In Atlanta And Thug Is Young (imago), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:24 (seven years ago) link
same here, I only look at ILE rarely, like once a day. obv have some ILE threads bookmarked.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link
I've been visiting this board on and off since 2001, and frankly, there's an insularity that makes it hard for newcomers to feel welcome here. And jesus christ, every thread turns aggro and combative for the most retarded reasons. I can't even keep track of the number of valuable and interesting posters who have been chased out of here for the silliest and most overblown of reasons

Will say that from the mod side, there are new registrations every day. I used to be eager to see these new names start posting, but it almost never happens.

^^ tried regging a sock account thrice for a single joke post last week during the top 77. Three diff addresses, never got the confirmation email in either three accounts. ILM is a hostile place for socks.
