The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Dazed and Brutal]

Personally I don't care who posts here or who doesn't, but if someone's first reaction to being gently trolled is to accuse me of being in a deep state conspiracy against them, then I'll roll with it and continue trolling them.

I'm all for getting your kicks, but that's the issue with the board in its current state. A lot of people come on here to take jabs at each other instead of having constructive discussions about music. The main section is frequently a ghost town or is a big ball of violence when there is a glut of activity.

90% of that stuff revolved around TB and i think the board's been pretty mellow/constructive since he left tbh. aside from TB, CiG was probably the main proponent of the jabbing/'violence' (he admitted this a few times recently) as well as being the main proponent of constructive music discussion, so i'm not sure his leaving really changes that ratio too much. it's just gonna decrease post volume in general, which is a problem to be sure. i kinda doubt it's a terminal problem but i guess we'll see, unless he randomly comes back.

We need a main section revival. People need to stop circle jerking in the 'currently playing' threads and seek/reciprocate rekts.

Let's make it happen then.

For what it's worth - I tried to get him to stay. I said (as I had many times before) that he was an asset to the site, especially in the beginning when he wasn't as argumentative as he had become. I wish people would use ignore more often honestly, but their fear of "missing" something won't allow them to click that button.

TB also has great knowledge on music, opinion heavy, but knowledgeable. And has great taste in muscle cars

Anyways, their accounts are not wiped here, only set to ban/turned off - and I will gladly reopen if they ever come back around. It happens all the time which is why I rarely just "delete".

They're both too proud to return.

It's Friday.
The trails aren't rideable.
Need to put my old bike together and throw skinnier tires on it.
Pics hopefully on Saturday.
I need to clean my computer room. It's been a mess since we moved in 4 years ago.

TB already returned from at least one of these self-imposed hiatuses after swearing he wouldn't so idk about that

I'm a big offender recently for mostly posting in those sorts of threads. I haven't been posting much lately. But I agree, there definitely needs to be more music discussion. Although when posters do try to post new threads a lot of the time all it leads to is people saying it's been done before years ago and then nothing comes from the thread.

I come for the GMD Polls, but I stay for the drama.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

To be honest, this is one of the few forums that actually seems to have a lot of activity. Its rare, for me at least, to visit and not see at least 3 threads without any new posts. Compared to other sites that have are basically ghost towns, this place is booming.

Bah, it'll never be back to the glory days pre-2010 because forums aren't in like they were then, but even then there doomsday-sayers saying the forum had been in decline since Deron created GMD Social and who claimed the forum would die in a few short years. Yet, it's still here. I'll give credit to CiG for much of that. The forum was almost dead when he first joined and he brought it back to life.

I think the forum peaked after this video was posted. (Sorry Grant)

It was the air guitar to Cromlech, but it seems V5 deleted it from his channel right after I posted the link
