wtf is this i love metal nonsense

htf is sna a problem for ppl idgi

in the old days of ilx when i first posted (2001?) threads had categories and sinkah was in charge of that. But i dont think anyone would volunteer now for it, but if it did exist, then i guess you could have hidden specific types BUT most of those campaigning against sub-boards did so because they wanted all music on one board so people could see every thread.

j0rdan there's only 5 metal threads there. surely thats no big deal?

As a metal fan, I know that yes there's lots of subgenres and they don't exactly line up with rap

As an ILX user I know that diarrheaing up the front page with a hair-splitting contest looks terrible and is useful to no one. The metal thread was fine ffs

theoretically no -- but if they're constantly at the top of new answers then it would seem to indicate to me that all the discussion could either be condensed into one thread or into one board

As maybe one of the only goon/metal dudes on ilx I'm gonna have to side firmly with team goon that this is totally useless and only serves to make more .xls metal posting on ilx even more excruciating

it moved too fast and stuff got lost. You start loads of threads whiney so i dont see why it bothers you. Noone is saying all hip hop threads should remain in one thread. You would hate that (and rightly so)

xps

haha jordan sorry you might sprain yer scrolling finger getting past 5-10 metal threads i should def be more sensitive as a mod.

goons, what do you think of san te always starting new rap threads

How come when me or jon Williams try to ruin ilx we get banned, but when Algerian Goalkeeper does it, the mods think it's cuet

Let me start 12 polls about it, that should help

wow dude

haha jordan sorry you might sprain yer scrolling finger getting past 5-10 metal threads i should def be more sensitive as a mod.

the funny thing about this is that i thought i had fucked up my right index finger, went & got x rays on it and was told that i had "trackpad finger", so i'm v sensitive to your post

if noone wants a separate metal board then all metal threads are done on ILM. it's as simple as that. If you dont like them dont read them. Noone is going around telling goons to stop making threads. ILM is supposed to be for everyone as was made clear by people who were against a sub-board which included those who do like metal and those who dont.

xp

i tried to ruin ilx? haha get real. I was not the person who set out to ruin a sub-board.

Whiney otm tho

goons, what do you think of san te always starting new rap threads

it depends -- when he starts threads about non-current rap i don't have a problem w/ it, but otherwise i think it's stupid

one of the less irritatingly excessive aspects of his posting style

srs question - why does what you think matter at all about how other people start threads tho? xpost

whiney - wasn't it this time last year when we were complaining about a buttload of crappy bracket polls

It's not that ilx hates metal it's that it hates shitty threads. Youre like trying to fuck kids at a birthday party and going "why do you hate clowns?"

i'm not saying it does, which is why i don't go around complaining about threads any more than the average high-volume ilx poster

Xpost lol yes. whiney g, ilx neat freak! :)

after lining up the stuffed animals in order by size?

fwiw i really hate it when people start a lot of stupid threads

Lol remember "ilx listening club" that was fun for a week

so whiney you want only 1 rolling metal thread and no other metal threads on ilm everything to stay on it?

I dont understand this "things get lost" assertion some people have - we do have a perfectly functional search function!

eg the other day I was into some Meshuggah jams so I looked up a random mesguggah thread, revived it, and it stayed up a day or 2. If I'd had to trawl thru a single metal thread of 7565453453453 posts I would not have bothered.

like you always seem to have a problem with a large number of the same kind of "stupid" thread: bracket polls, autechre threads, the beatles and radiohead polls ...oh yeah and the listening clubs.

DONT MAKE THIS ABOUT ME

are rolling metal threads more ubiquitous than the beatles?

you know what i hate? self-indulgent threads about book deals always shitting up my sna, those guys are the worst

oh whoops xpost

people who worry about there not being enough quality threads obviously haven't been to I LOVE CRICKET: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX: THE CHINATOWN OF ILX

come on whiney you want only 1 rolling metal thread and no other metal threads on ilm everything to stay on it?

honestly, can't we look on the bright side and appreciate the fact there aren't tons of bracket polls anymore?

There's two threads, you dumb dipshit. WHOOPS

granted i'm ignorant of metal, but i guess my point is that it seems to me that the 41 combined posts in 'rolling power metal' and 'rolling black metal' could easily be folded into the already existing 'rolling metal thread'

idk people who are interested in power metal prob dont want to interact w ppl who are interested in black metal

goons are more open to cross-pollination #thatsracist

AG, i want many many many metal threads, as I love metal. But having six rolling threads is overkill, come on

or do you just like telling people what threads are ok with you and those that aren't? Whiney G Weingarten Superthreadcop

like if we already had a 'rolling cereal thread', but then had a 'rolling fruit loops thread' and a 'rolling cheerios thread' and a 'rolling frosted flakes thread' and a 'rolling apple jacks thread' and a 'rolling corn pops thread' i think most ppl would go "i think this cereal discussion could be condensed'

why

c'mon Whiney -- don't compete with gr80 for captain of ilx thread police

fuck ppl who like fruit loops imo

Hahaha it's just silly! Goon is like the same 20 ppl, rolling metal is the same 20 ppl. Why chop them up?

like who gives a shit, are we running low on server space or something? this whole thing is so bizarre to me multixpoast

why are there sub boards in the first place?

why did you create a sub board two days ago?

the sub-genre rolling threads are there to stop threads being made on every metal band ever. I would have thought half a dozen rolling threads would be better than that. there is a problem with the rolling metal thread, everything gets lost in it.
Trayce might be in favour of having a thread on every band or album but im pretty sure noone else does.
