The Opeth forum closed!

[Slaydon]

someone started a thread about Face of melinda techno remix, one of the worst threads ever... two days later, another guy started a thread about Marcel Jacob's death, a bunch of trolls showed no respect, and even when Mike asked them to stop and banned a couple of em, they came again with new accounts and mocked Mike, which lead to closing the shit down.
the new one is way better IMO

That place was heading down the drain in alarming speed. I was the one that posted the thread about Marcel Jacob,lol! Little did I know at the time that I would accomplish so much with it,hehe.

But I think the problem with Opeth's music and any other band with death metal elements, is that it attracts too many idiots. Guys who listen to their music just for the kick they get out of the death growls and the heavy parts. It's sad...they don't appreciate the more beautiful side of Opeth.

I was the one that posted the thread about Marcel Jacob,lol!

I blame you then !
j/k
Damn, the trolling was til the last minute, i remember when Mike said he will close it down someone came and was like :" That's the best thing you ever done since My arms your hearse " :zombie:

 

[Slaydon]

What was the name of that obnoxious chump who said he was glad that Jacob died? I think that pretty much did it, as well as the Mikael-mocking. I bet his responds in that thread ticked them off,lol! He called them "fucking children". They had it coming.

That was probably either Arasmas, or Widow Skull ... btw, Arasams in on the new forum, but his UTTERLY ignored, no one even bothered to respond to any of his posts none should respond to his shits before...

I thought it was kind of obvious that something did in fact happen, as stated in the OP. Read the OP Mr. "I need a 499x278 signature image because I CLEARY need to represent the music I like by having a BREAKING-THE-RULES-OVER-SIZED-IMAGE signature guy."

To be honest it only breaks the rules on this forum, most other band forums on UM don't have any restrictions regarding signature size, so getting at this guy for his signature when he's just making one post to ask about the Opeth boards is pretty ignorant.

Besides I don't exactly see how his signature being a few pixels larger than standard "TOTALLY LIKE OMG RUINS MY BROWSING EXPERIENCE".

MAYH was a sweet album for sure.

 

[hexwind]

but that wasn't time for trolling

 

[Slaydon]

Nasty Fire and Heme Haci were the worst trolls I can remember. They just never had anything nice to say to anyone!

I'll give the new one a go.

 

[CantoX]

To be honest it only breaks the rules on this forum

Yes.. you're right. I agree with you. Thanks for concuring with me!

 

[DoomsdayZach]

*shakes head*

Canto... let it go. It's just not important at all.

edit for further clarification: Yes, you're right. it is a rule on this forum. however, that dude has rarely if ever posted here. Not to mention you're completely missing the point for the rule. You should try government work, because that's a group of people who throw common sense out the window to follow rules to the T with no regard for WHY they were created in the first place. Let me demonstrate really fast:

While technically breaking the rule, it doesn't cause horizontal scrolling on monitors set to what even my Grandmother would agree is a reasonable resolution. It also doesn't take up the entire screen, nor does it particularly hinder the browsing experience.

That there is a little bit more irritating innit? To my recollection, the "rule" was agreed upon due to a number of ridiculously oversized signatures. This is obviously an exaggerated example, but i think it illustrates the point quite clearly.



Moving on, just saying that MAYH was one of the best Opeth releases. I never went to that board because it was irritating and Opeth fans in general have an annoying habit of being quite pretentious, but in the end this news is neither here nor there for me. It's a forum, forums have been shut down before and the world keeps on spinning.

 

[Swabs]

Yes.. you're right. I agree with you. Thanks for concuring with me!

Real mature...

 

[CantoX]

Real mature...

Care to elaborate how agreeing with you is immature? I know that I agreed with your post even though you were trolling.. but I didn't think that it was immature to do that. Could you explain why it would be? I'm not seeing it. Eagerly waiting your response for clarification!


@ Zack

I wasn't really serious about it... I just brought it up because the poster couldn't take the time to read the OP OR the multiple subsequent posts that were describing the answer to his question. Karma baby!

In all honesty, it kind of just made you look like a douchebag. No worries though, moving on again...

The sig thing is a rule that's been established for all forums throughout UM but it's enforced here because the mods actually give a shit. As far as rules that are exclusive to the SX board, airing other forums' dirty laundry is frowned upon and I'm surprised this thread has gone on for as long as it has.

Actually it's a UM-wide rule, it's just up to the owners of the band-owned forums whether they enforce it or not. And if a sig is extra huge & someone posts a lot in one thread, it can indeed get pretty friggin old to look at over & over since it tends to overpower everything else on the page.

And I think that's about enough for this thread..thank you, please drive through.
