Every attempt I try to make to encourage intelligent reaction on this site fails with flying colours. My wife, who, after many years of hard work acquired a formal musical education thinks many of you people are basic idiots. Read her Gentle Giant Octopus review and then you will realize what a bunch of dum dums you are. my real name Ian Gledhill and her real name is Catherine Motuz.For further information e-mail me or get on contact with me through my web-site. Or better still PM me.

I'd have to agree with you Ian. I'm new here so I have a fresh, "outsiders" perspective on his forum. The silly polls, this weird ELP thing that's everywhere, and the asinine reviews I've read here tempt me to post somewhere else. The only site left I know of that has decent daily traffic is Spock's Beard. I'm not a big SB fan so I don't have a lot of interest over there.

Any suggestions about where I can go?

Hey Garrett, if the pósts are stupid and the reviews are crap, why are you here?

I wouldn't stay in a forum for a decent daily traffic if I believed that traffic is crap. There are a lot of threads that I don't like or find offensive, I give my opinion and after that leave that thread.

Don't whine, try to make a better place, if after that you are frustrated, then leave, but 11 posts are not a serious attempt of making the place better.

Iván.

Actually the ELP threads were the only interesting ones here.. and not because of my love for ELP.. cause evidently they weren't threads about peoples love for ELP... but because they atleast involved some discussion... Since then its been rather boring...
THIS IS ELP

Look, we're just in a slump.  Remember when we used to have all of those posts about Radiohead? That eventually calmed down as will all these polls and ELP threads.  It's a natural cycle

it's virtually impossoble to cut out all of the stupid polls and even if nyone leaves and joins another one they will always be there every single forum that i have been on has had stupid polls etc. IMO its good the way it is

So come on then,why dont you do something to make it better?

You could have a poll on how to make the forum better.Wink

Or alternatively:

1. Stop humorous posts.
2. Make everyone agree.
3.Throw out any or all of the following people:

Reed Lover,Velvetclown,Gdub,Threefates,Frenchie,VB,Tuxon,Joren.

4.Stop posts about "sensitive" subjects.
5.Only allow opinions that acknowledge that some people here:

a) are from different cultures
b)have different theological viewpoints
c)have different genders
d)are emotionally immature
e)are religious maniacs
f)are obsessive fans

Here is a test to ensure suitability for this forum:

1+2=

5
ELP
Dream Theatre
The Holy Trinity
I'm too wired to answer.
