Actually we did it over skype and I saw him look off to the side so I think he wasn't paying attention just out of curiosity, what don't you like about them? I'm not trying to say "zomg, best band ever, y u not liek them??" but I'm just wondering.

Well it wasn't just that he wasn't paying attention, but that rambling response the word symphonic. I've had that moment before. ;-) I would like to nail Torman too. I almost feel sorry for them, we bite the hand that feeds. ;-)

 

Eh, I find their sound dull and annoying. Why? I don't know, it's like they're trapped in the '90s, but in the '90s they were trapped in the '80s. I doubt that makes sense. All I know is that when he starts sings, I cannot resist the impulse to close the window.

Yeah, Bungie.net is a lot bigger than probably any other forum I've been to, and, more importantly, it's more full of idiots with free time, so it requires a lot more maintance, and the fact that nobody really wants to do that maintance adds to the numbers. They add 6-8 more mods every 6 months to a year.

 

As for joining, well, you see, you are not a 14 year old with aching amounts of free time trying to stand out among the rabble of retarded 13 year olds so as to gain some place on the social heirarchy!

 

The mods here are much more active though. It's fairly rare to see them post outside the website subforum on B.net, and even then it's only a few of them that bother. The rest either don't post or respond to more of the endless Community Forum whinings about various things. The Webmaster there is much more involved, though; then again, he is getting paid, unlike Max.

 

 And I was by far one of the most active moderators, possibly the most at many times, logging such huge amounts of time that even the 45 pages of new threads per day Halo 3 Forum slowed to a crawl for me. And since I was bored, but also unable to leave, I made my reputation posting in the Off-Topic forum that so few moderators even bothered to scan. And since their usual topics got boring very quickly, I became the moderator who would post in every thread about music, almost always to criticize your taste in.

 

 

Oh, and you probably didn't play Halo. That would be another incentive. I ended up liking Myth more, though.

 

The really sad thing is that I was there (even after I quit) and here and other places when I was at college, instead of being with friends. Or doing work. And now I'm here again. :(
