Glad that it's not just me noticing the decline.
@Harmony Dies, you remember the Hate Pit? When UM had the Hate Pit, all those moronic discussions (albeit sometimes funny and vile) would just be contained within the Pit for the most part. Now, since it's closure, all the sewage has overflowed because people just post now to incite arguments and angered reactions.

Look at the Arch Enemy forum. Regardless of whether you lot like the band or not, it seems to maintain these hovering cunts waiting to swoop down and disagree with anything positive said about the band. You go in to talk about a song, and 10 people jump in and tell you that you're wrong wrong wrong! Fuck - I mean, it's the AE forum allowing fans to congregate, is it not?
Like I said the other day, the worst part about metal is the fans. Fucking elitists, flamers, opinionated morons that think they know it all, and wankstains that listen to music to add to their 'credibility' only - regardless of whether they actually enjoy what they're hearing.
