There aren't a lot of us; however: please read everything before posting.

Preamble: by posting in this community thread, you adhere to the following community standards:

1. You contribute to Sputnikmusic (posting reviews, commenting, etc.),
2. You will not spam and/or double post in this thread,
3. You will be respectful and polite in correspondence, regardless of status on MX,
4. You will keep Damrod's thread clean of spam and off-topic discussion so he doesn't blow a gasket.

///

For the purposes of this thread and our community, spam is defined as:

(1) Double posting. Take the time to quote everyone you wish to quote and put it in a single post, (2) single-smiley posts, and (3) "conversation"-esque posting; that is, we don't want pages of a user saying "hay guyz" and having fifteen people saying, "Hi, what's up?" in return. Take that to AIM, MSN, mySpace, Facebook, and whatever medium.

None of that stuff is beneficial, so please try not to spam this mofo

///

There are not a lot of us, so this thread had better not spiral out of control.

Everything else not outlined in the rules is fair game, so just be smart about the use of this thread.

If you have a legitimate suggestion, take it to [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=405738]here[/url].

If you would like to report a problem, please go [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=386334]here[/url].

If you feel the need to post something that is neither a suggestion nor a problem, then post it here.

Otherwise, have fun discussing Sputnikmusic and/or things not involving Sputnikmusic.

Haha.

Yeah, well, this will take off one way or another. I know that there were a lot of extended jokes that went on in the Report Problems thread that made Damrod go nutso and close trying to make his statement, so maybe people will get the hint and post those kind of things here. That way, Damrod doesn't turn into a Sputnikmusic version of Himmler or Goering, and people can share a laugh or two and let things be fun.

That way, everybody wins

Shadows · 10-22-2005, 02:33 PM

I don't see how I win.

Wow racist

On a semi-serious note, this will improve the forum no doubt. Perhaps it will even inspire some of the sputnik diehards to use the board too.

I agree. Make one of them be the victim.

I'm figuring there's going to be plenty of review whoring in this thread too, but I like that.

~~something vague~~ · 10-22-2005, 03:48 PM

I think I'm going to write a review soon, but the problem is I don't really know what. Heh, if I actually had money right now, I would probably go out and buy something and review, but for now I have one or two things that I could possibly review, and those have already been reviewed with similar ratings.

Roar.

Review whoring is encouraged, considering it's done in the different genre forums to begin with

This gives me an idea. I'll edit it in when I consult with Med first.

Shadows · 10-22-2005, 04:43 PM

I promised Kripes I would do Slipknot - Vol.3 and the Roadrunner United albums next, but I really don't feel like listening to those right now. I'd hate to let him down since he's been waiting for them, but I'm in the mood to review Vital Remains - Dechristianize and Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone.

EDIT: That Triumph of Death guy who complained about his review being rejected is a pompous ***.

There is no need to state the obvious, sir. :P

Shadows · 10-22-2005, 05:02 PM

I'm glad a peace-loving mod finally closed his death thread of disruption.

On another note, I'm both extremely disappointed and very surprised that my Cryptopsy review got so few posts.

~~something vague~~ · 10-22-2005, 05:07 PM

It has gotten to two pages. That is over 20 posts, so how could you be dissapointed? Most of my reviews usually get no more than 15 comments, besides my pop-punk reviews that automatically received a good deal of comments and views. But then again, a lot of people don't read reviews, or maybe just comment, if they don't know of the band or artist, which can be very annoying at times.

Shadows · 10-22-2005, 05:13 PM

True, I guess it's unreasonable for me to hope all of my reviews get as long as my Opeth review. Metal is very popular around here, but nobody seems to post in metal reviews.

~~something vague~~ · 10-22-2005, 05:15 PM

One Metallica review has more comments than probably the whole Jazz section as a whole. So I don't really get what you're trying to say at all. Then again, that Alter Bridge review has over 500 comments, and mostly involves a bunch of idiots arguing over pretty much nothing, and that is in the Rock section I believe.

Shadows · 10-22-2005, 05:22 PM

Aside from the wildly popular metal bands like Metallica and nu metal. Most of the stuff I review isn't as popular, and doesn't generate many posts. Even my Trivium review only had two pages, compared to the other biased reviews that got 4.

Metallica reviews are all 5+ pages of flaming anyway.

Jom · 10-22-2005, 05:22 PM

Nobody reads my reviews unless a) they're new, or b) I bump them.

I tend not to worry about it, though.

///

Right, so I have a little issue:

Someone sent me a mySpace invite as a "present," so, to be nice, I accepted it and have been filling out my little profile thing.

Now, I want to put a background image on my little profile thing, but I haven't taken a Web Creation class since tenth grade (looooooooong time ago).

Where do I insert the HTML in the edit profile part? I know I use <img src=> tags (at least, I think I do), but where do I put it in? :-\

Help is appreciated.

~~something vague~~ · 10-22-2005, 05:52 PM

I'm proboably going to review The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, but I'm kind of worried since there are already two reviews on it (Clumpy and OrbDragon) that pretty much come to the same conclusion that I do.

Jom, go to my myspace at [URL="http://www.myspace.com/maycomb"]Here[/url] and click on the "profile was edited on Thomas Myspace editor 2.0" or whatever, and it will direct you to a code generator where you can do that, and copy/paste the code into your profile.

Heh.

~~Tippo~~ · 10-22-2005, 06:11 PM

Oh, a backround image?

In that case:

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image: url(http://image/image.jpg);
background-color: #000000
}
</style>

Put it in the main part.
