wtf is this i love metal nonsense

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.

have you considered that if your goon threads weren't just these huge cluttered threads that maybe more people would post on them? Like it kinda seems that the way your threads are set up, they're set up to be a bit insular?

why have ilm posters by and large in the last 5 years or so chosen to start rolling threads every year?

also uh you dudes realize that (ok not j0rdan) this is kinda a counter-argument to getting rid of the metal board right? or do you just like complaining for no reason

goons like being insular, no wai!

in terms of cultivating participation in threads, using the goon threads as a comparison is kinda ridiculous.

i don't even see why this is important, bu i'll address it anyway -- the idea that the rolling rap thread is insular is bullshit. there is a small community of consistent posters because a small amount of ilxors follow rap really closely -- there have been various posters of the past few years (zvookster, tpp, flopson, spottie_ottie etc to name a few) that have just shown up out of the blue and started posting in the thread -- it's incredibly easy to follow, there's probably 10-15 posts a day on average

Trayce might be in favour of having a thread on every band or album but im pretty sure noone else does.

Dude there's plenty of individual threads on various pop, electronic, new wave and indie bands and even individual albums (and tours!). Isnt that the point of "I Love Music"?

goon thred is a nice model imo, i think of it as main artery or water cooler of rap discussion on ilx. for generalist bullshitting & youtubes not fit for preexisting threads

u make a thread on the band/album if u think it'll take off or if it feels like it's getting big or if u want to spread exposure. like WAKA or ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL or lil b: the based god last year. some ppl have no restraint

i want to be clear & say that i'm not advocating for ilm to be made up of 8 threads rolling threads a year -- just the notion of 8 rolling threads a year for one genre seems paradoxical & superfluous, also clogs new answers which personally bothers me

or we keep it to its own subgenre thread. which i think is better. If jordan has a problem with 5 metal threads on ILM, dont you think him & others would object to dozens of metal threads created every day?

btw, the gonns have already subconsciously rejected this model -- SLAPS---> nu-bay post-hyphy post-jerk <---SLAPS

whiney started a thread in 'rolling black ice metal' vein but no one bothered w/ it

i kinda want to move the (now locked) "delete this board now" thread to imp just to make it clear that a bunch of people are playing both sides of the field, and also to make my reposted thing up there make a lot more sense in context, because most of the egregious bullshit im talking about happened in that thread

i know jordan was happy to have a metal sub-board, but the rest of you didn't want it. So now you just have to deal with a few extra rolling metal sub-genre threads

Black Ice was a good band, imo

If jordan has a problem with 5 metal threads on ILM, dont you think him & others would object to dozens of metal threads created every day?

like i already explained -- i would have no problem w/ this because these threads would fall off the top of new answers pretty quickly because they'd have like 5-10 posts each (this is how the board is designed to work) -- and if they didn't fall off new answers and there were 50 metal threads w/ 50 posts each at the top of new answers, i think it would be time for a sub board
