I know that many may say that its a pot calling the kettle black, but this thread, to me, is going too far! I like a bit of fun, byt this thread has been ruined!

Its like when the teacher leaves the room..

As I recall there hav been some keyboard threads allready in the history of progarchives... And btw, the thread was about 2 die, becouse all the interested people allready posted in it.. Ow, And aren't polls used to vote in them, and not 2 write "Jordan Rudess is the best!" all the time? You ca still vote in the poll, and see the votes, so its as a healthy poll as can be! And Damien, You helped 2 ruin the thread Yourself. I have evidence

I agree with you Snowy. Its ok to do this in the mariah thread, and I'been known to do that myself but normal threads should be kept chean and on topic

Children are taking over.

I think the once-funny Mariah thread has been ruined too, by pointless "see how many posts I can make" boy-babble, those irritating, endless quote pyramids, and piles of emoticons.

Rant over.

I understand how you feel Peter, there is an obvious "post race", its no secret, but as long as endless Smiley posting reamains in Mariah and similar "fun" threads, I don't really see a problem.

Speech over!

Only "fun" for the participants though -- not for anyone else!

You may be right Peter, sometimes the Mariah Carrey thread seems like nothing more than a chatroom!

Leave 'em to it, I reckon.

But this is why I'm so annoyed that its crossing over into serious threads!

^ Too bad it wasn't their thread....

Yes, people should stay on topic -- how about them mellotrons, eh?

I agree, though -- much of the posting is becoming VERY infantile.

The mariah thread is indeed a chatroom nowadays, but mostly a fairly inteligent one. The smiley spam isn't really that frequent. And when it happens, its not led by children. Cyg MWH, and Bj are the best at it, and I wouldn't call the first two children. 18 and 17 isn't a quite a child anymore. I'm 17 myself.

I wasn't going to name names myself, but the children tag is relative I guess. To older members you are, or behave like children sometimes, maybe!

As I said though, all this is fine in its place, but some younger members are starting to say "New Page" on every thread!!!!

sorry for names Someone will always say "new page", young or old. I know some much older members who do it. Velvy, for iexample, started the tradition, he's no child

no, "new page" is a mariah thread tradition. Who does it in other threads?

I've seen it in a few. The one I have a link to here has it I think.

I just went through it, it indeed is sad, that shouldn't be allowed in prog music lounge and polls

Please don't Velv!!

Actually Snowie and Peter, I was rolling on the floor with laughter at how Smileys were abused!!

Or Should I say.....

Thanks for the early morning laugh for if you had not complained about this , I probably would have never read it.

EEEEEHHHHHMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............

This Scandalous behaviour must stop!

How's this???

But you are right though! A perfectly good poll should not be deviated into open derision.

I am in no way getting at you Clown. Please don't leave!

Snowy

But yes I WILL leave, This place is no longer the place I joined back in 2004

I´ll be around for a week or so

All things must pass

We're losing on the posts, we're losing on the Carrey thread...

Hey, you edited your post, you trying to trick me!

OK........I don't know the lyrics to George Harrison songs!

Ooh, that's a bit provocative Tony.

I think this thread is starting to drift off topic

And let me appologize if I have ever come off as ignorant or childish, no sarcasm, i'm being sincere.

You've no need to appologise, you're the victim here!

Hey, I'm not the activist here!

I am awfully sick of all those stupid childish threads. I thought the Mariah Carey thread to be dumb, but at least, it is his purpose. Sometime, I am to post something, but I change mind, since I see no one will remark it, care, or because it's looks like it is too late now. I really get sick when I see those kind of things comming into normal music disscussion; huge picture, smiley, endless quoting, just to get more post, like if anyone cared about that, except themseves of course. Of course, the more posts you get, the cooler you are. Don't you guys have anything better to do? That's a reason why people leave the site or think about it.

There's no age to be a childish nerd, by the way. 18, 20 or 35, it's all the same.
