"Frontiers" through the mist I see-

I don't see anything about "no download talk":

It must be because Mark said that to the moderators if you don't beleive me, take a look at Jax's post. If you wanna keep arguing don't talk to me, talk to Jax or Mark for that matter.

I'm not trying to argue, but you came at me like you were a Moderator or something.

Jax's post only mentions showing respect, not "follow the rules". People have different opinions of what respect is. And someone who can't respect what others have to say, as long as its within the guidelines of the rules, should not abuse their power as Moderator and just delete a post because they don't agree with what it says.

I didn't insult you or used any abusive language against you, i'm just trying to let you know how things work around here. I'm talking like that because I want to make my points clear and understandable (it's not like i'm an asshole or anything) but if you don't want to take any advice's from me, that's ok (you already know the points) keep on rockin'

I never said you did.

Trust me, the last thing I want is an argument. I'm a Mod for the VP board and I know what its like to have to babysit everyone in there. And remember:

I'm not talking about the post directly (the attitude of the post) i'm talking of other things that are relevant on this matter (wich I won't discuss anymore) if the moderator's didn't delete your post, they should let every MP3 related post on (even if the thread subject is ''download the FULL Odyssey album) the best thing to do is use one standard only, not a double standard (delete all MP3* related posts and it's all good)

*MP3 download*

Check this out

''Dear all,

Please do not use this as a forum to provide download links, or services, for Opeth (or anyone else's) MP3's.

Although I appreciate you're all eager to hear the new release, please remember that this is Opeth's official forum, and it should be up to them how their music is distributed before it's actually released - particularly when it's their own community that is being used in this way.

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers,
Mark''

OK, but is still doesn't say that you can't mention that you have certain mp3(s), only that you can't say where to download them, which I never did.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I know, but I think Jax made that pretty clear

Not really. Just deleting posts with no explanation or asking to "respect" the band is not the same as saying; "There will be no discussion of downloading, possessing, or asking for mp3s while I'm on duty!" ... or something like that.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I mean that she made her position pretty clear hahaha, anyway I think you can assume from the message Mark posted that he doesn't want MP3 posts or threads. Wait 'till Jax comes here, she'll flame your ass outta here

I'm ready!

(I think she has a sence of humor )

You two guys are pretty funny, I must admit!
You'd make a great pair in a sitcom or something.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

lmao! haha yeah sure

I think...

 

[Snowmaker]

Oh sure, laugh at someone else's misfortune.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

oh yeah i'm evil I tell ya

Is that supposed to be good or bad Dado? ....

Agreed, I could make a career out of that

I think Elvenshadow's idea is great too. I'd like a copy of "Frontiers" but I don't want to buy the Oyssey again to get it. They should release an EP or something with old tracks from the 1st album either remixed with Russel singing, or re-recorded entirely. There were some cool tunes on that disk that really lacked any zing because of the shitty vocals.

 

[Hwangman]

Re-recording the first album is a great idea. I have no doubt that the end result would be amazing.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Indeed.
