OMG! they killed the opeth-board!

The new Opeth forum is leaking shit everywhere. I must be weird because I find some kind of moral objection to that. They are leaking the new album to everyone. What's happening to this world. Their stabbing their favorite band in the back. I hope they get caught.
 
To the members of the old Opeth forum who have come here to roost, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the distinct style and culture of this forum. There are over 10 thousand threads, you don't have to read them all, but if you spend a day or two looking around you'll get the general idea of what this place is about, who the regulars are, and what sort of posting is going to get a response. I don't think I have ever seen a "hi, I am new here, I like nevermore" thread that didn't get a lot of welcome responses.

To the Neverboard regulars and assembled prominent citizens; telling people to go elsewhere before they have even been given a chance to make nice is roughly the equivalent of shouting "go back to your cave you fucking sandniggers!" and waving your fist ineffectually at the sky. Which actually happened while I was in 7-11 yesterday. True story. Everyone on this board seems pretty nice most of the time, which is why I primarily spend my reading time here. I don't have to sift through unpleasant bullshit to find entertainment.

To Opeth: P2P technology is part of the reality of the entertainment industry. It cannot be undiscovered. You don't have to tolerate it on your own message board that you pay for, but closing your forum down will in no way alter the fact that people will download your music before it is released. The ones who are really fans will buy it anyway.
 
I don't think the band made the decision, it was either the webmaster's at the forum and/or Mikael's wife Anna. If not them, Roadrunner records probably instructed them to. I know a label like roadrunnner wouldn't like an official forum of one of their artists giving free music away.

There were times when this board was worst than the Opeth board. As for now, i wish that the refugees stay here and not in the boards i often post.

yeah, I remember when this nevermore board turned me off so I'd rarely come here because I never found anything useful to read and comment on, until recently. Now the opeth board has been full of useless posting and spreading bootlegs, etc.

I personally think the Symphony X board is awesome. Everyone is well respectful and respected.

telling Opeth fans to go to the CoB forum is like telling the Jews that Auschwitz is a giant chucky cheese.
 
:lol: ^
Its probably not appropriate to laugh at that...but its such a cute metaphor!

Anyway, I welcome any Opeth board refugees :wave:

oooh bite me!
Ill give you a nickle, can you analyse my personality again?

Well Lioness, your original post I quoted was kinda hypocritical (why I posted it), but you confirmed that it was a joke so... forget about it. Maybe I can analyze your personality by posting/reading at this glorius, perfect, friendly Nevermore board from now on. Thank you all for making me feel welcome, even though I've posted here plenty before.
 
well, its probably what America shoulda done!

Someone: OH shit! Your album is leaking and is at a high threat level!
Someone else: Oh no's! We know it will happen, but let's make the impact less severe!
Someone: Ok, good idea!
Someone else: Well, it was leaked, but it's not that bad! The album's out now, so let's reopen the forum and start healing ourselves.
