Some of these drive me and other members nuts. I don't like to be negative. Hell, I don't even like to make polls, but I really want to know, what annoys you the most.
I vote for DT polls. Dream Theater is my favorite band, and I think the ridiculous polls lowers their reputation. Why should Dream Theater be treated like a culture obsession and not as musicians
*rant over
Mike Patton annoys me too.  -------------

Either DT polls or Mike Patton, the use of n00b gets old after a while too though

In order from most annoying to least annoying: Bern > Mike Patton > DT Polls / Polls about DT polls > Neo Prog > n00bs. Last.fm and ULKing are cool.  -------------

You missed a blatant choice out and Bern and my own pet pieve! OWLS! Jeez guys, stop it with the O RLY? stuff and stop posting Owls! It was funny for a miniscule amount of time, but now, well it's old, just like Ansen's underpants! -------------

It's totally out of control. Considering how many new members select some permutation of "dream theater" as their nick, not surprising I suppose. Of course, they arrive and think it's either clever or novel to compare their gods to some lesser, mortal band.  I don't know how it can be handled - would the admins put a moratorium on DT polls? |

DT polls are just a passing fad... remember when everyone wanted everyone to rate their collections? Just give it a week or two and it will all die down (except my Marillion related polls will never die!).

NS, I know you're a happily married man, but dare I tell you - just for this once - that I love you?  This morning I entered the forum and found four or five polls with DT in them.... I've got to the point that I start shouting "No! Please! Take them away from me!" whenever I see their name, or even the names of individual band members...  |

DT polls that lower their reputation as you said Tlossy.. Sometimes its just like, DT vs (something really isnt music and very "low") But, the ultimate most annoying thing is *uhuk someone who always complaint about someone else's tase of music... ------------- http://img360.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spmiw7.jpg">

I don't know guys, DT's reputation can not be lowered with any polls, it's already below the ground level for me.

Yes, even big fans like myself are getting sick of it! Well, looks like the stuff this morning was a backlash by more senior members making some silly polls (DT vs. The World, for example) - but as Guigo mentioned, the admins can't do much about the n00bs. I am surprised TheProgtologist didn't close some of the sillier polls, though, as he has done so in the past. I just had no idea they were so popular with the younger set! |

That's me I'm not that obscure in here. You just don't know me. Anyway, I voted for the n00bs 'cause it gets really annoying but like brother Geck0 said, the O RLYs are getting even more annoying.  -------------

According to my latest poll it would appear that people prefer Europe to Dream Theater... and 2 people would prefer Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors to both of them.

I wouldn't mind it if the DT polls were DT against bands that were at least in the same genre and posters would be able to do a logical and interesting comparison about what is better about both bands, but "Dream Theater vs. King Crimson" on this site is like "ELP vs. Miles Davis" on a jazz forum.
Well at least 1/6th of the team is. -------------

Neo Prog, there are too many neo-prog topics around IMO. -------------

Posted By: stonebeard
Date Posted: July 01 2006 at 21:53
Looking at the first page of the following threads I found this many topics about Neo-Prog:
Prog Music Lounge: 0
Prog Polls: 1
Prog Recommendations: 0
DNRTM: 0
Polls: 0
How is 1 topic too many?
Even going to the second page, all I found was 2 Neo-Prog topics in the Prog Music Lounge. That makes only 3 total. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |
