What happened to the days of people....yknow...discussing things on here?
Im not one to talk mind you, I havent been that active for a while, but mostly due to being gone for a month and coming back to the same threads being on top, with 1 reply.
Long gone are the days when I had 6 threads to reply to each hour, and I really miss having conversations with the select few who posted all the time back then (back before the great Fallout Fallout, not a typo, person and reaction).
I miss MDX drunk posts.....
-
The select few became the select fewer. Many migrated to facebook, and that's most likely where everything will end up, and this will certainly perish and die.
-
Social networks have their uses, but every time I see people posting paragraphs upon paragraphs of text in fucking comments, I die a little inside. I think there will always be a need for a more robust discussion board.
I feel somewhat the same as you; it is certainly quieter here these days. Perhaps, in order to foster the kind of activity that drew me to create my account in the first place, I must stop lurking and contribute more to the discussion. I will work on that.
-
People get older, boards die out. The circle of life. Also, I remember when band members used to visit and post here more than once in a few months.
INB4 GORDON/ROBERT: "We still visit/post!"
-
Hmmm... Back then when this forum started quieting down I wondered similar things. Oh why do people post so little, why I can't go on and on rambling about various serious and not so serious odd topics and off topics and what not topics... Where's all the FUN? Well... I thought about it and came into conclusion that us, the dwellers, define our own dungeon. Right now this is reality.
True that Facebook has stolen quite large portion of people's time. But also it's true that situation's do change in people's life. Since this forum started lot's of things has happened in my life, for example. I've divorced, got married again, got two kids somewhere there in-between those years, crashed my car with truck, changed my workplace twice and... Well, tons and tons of other stuff. I still do see strange dreams, I still do some really strange stuff. I do miss occasionally those conversations that used to take their place here, mindtripping, mindboggling odysseys to somewhere that went far beyond absurdity and decency. I know that people that used to be regular here, people who still lurk in the shadows, are still capable to do such things. Easily. I know that magick is still there. Only problem is that magic... It has to come spontaneously. It needs chemistry, it needs heat, passion, sparks, thunder, lighting... It needs fuel and air. And there will be explosion. Or atleast decent inferno. And lots of pyromaniac finns doing some sausage-grilling on open fire at midsummer. Wearing yellow rubber cloaks. Or something.
Problem is that we're lacking right now those creative sparks that inspire spontaneous bursts of insanity. I do come here regularly and I do try to smell the air. I want to feel the smoke, smell the smoke. I do have my sausage ready. When there will be fire I will be grilling. Maybe it starts from your inquiry maybe it starts from some other spark. I don't know. But I'm waiting. Did I mention that I got my sausage ready? Oh. I did.

And there is a blast from the forum past, a good Gravehill essay :P
Looks daunting, but I always enjoy reading them.
-
derp :o

I bet people will post like crazy again when the new album nears its completion ;)

That's true it always does. I stay active quite a bit in the User Release Collection, mainly because the active members there are the one's I talk to the most. And we're busy making our noises and sounds :) I get good ideas and topic starters (like Deep Stuff) just because I do feel that 'well darn' feeling when I click on the 'New Posts' or 'New Replies to Your Posts' and nothing is there. I like it more here than Facebook.
There's just something here that's not captured on Facebook. Seeing paragraph long comments on status updates is annoying. It's an advanced Twitter. But here in depth and long discussions can take place. And I miss posting in here a lot. I'm up to posting even more and come out of lurk mode as Riax said!
I'm willing to put forth more effort that I already have. ^.^
-
What happened to the days of people....yknow...discussing things on here?
So what would you expect to be discussed?
There isn't much MaSu news right now. And about music in general, I think most people believe there are other (better) places to discuss it.
-
I think it's not that much question of interesting topics of discussion but chemistry, really. For example I don't need topics when I hang out with friends IRL and at certain forums. It's just constant flow of ideas, creative process, "thoughts that come alive". I once, here at this forum, discussed bit about my "soul well" theory - that people are like wells, connected by underground currents and streams... And that there are different kind of waters in each of us, wells of souls... Anyway, we each create currents, streams, flows of ideas... where these streams meet, they react... Now if we want good reaction, that something actually happen, there's gotta be somesort of feed... Something where others can join, bit like singing in chorus orslt. Anyways... What we need is just flow of ideas, I'm sure that they will react someday. Discussions like this is one good example about that flow... Or that "deep stuff" thread. People will react and reactions create stronger flows... Bit like this
Original idea ---> reaction ---> discussion ---> reaction ---> inspiration ---> new idea ---> reaction ---> etc etc etc
In the end we can all be eachother's muse.
-
More true words hardly spoken, Gravehill. I agree with you!
-
I think we need something to shock it back to life..

Let's make somekind of forum-based network in which we do stuff, then.

Or something like that

We either need a band member to leave, or one to come back. That always works. :P

Yeah, that's how I believe the interwebs work. And maybe, by extension, life.
Y'know what, I'd be more active here, but my attention is spread on at least two different forums. And there is always this awkward feeling when you go in here and have nothing to talk about or only completely outlandish topics on your mind to talk about.
I am also not on teh Faecbitch or Twitter. I am on j00t00b, though. But obviously there is not much interaction involved there, besides making semi-retarded comments as the likes of "the noise youtube makes when you thumbs up someone's comment is really fun, also +1 if you hate Justin Bieber arbitrarily, even if you've never heard his music. I mean it's his fault these spam comments are here because his music is just so bad, even though he is a pretty legit singer, or so I heard, look, just give me those sexy thumbs-up okay I need to enlarge my e-peen because I am a neckbeard with no aspirations plz kk thx".
No, seriously, I try to make reasonable comments on YT, but I rarely read them. I am subscribed to about 5 channels, which I already feel is a lot. How bout you guys? How does your life on the internet look like?
-
Someone huge needs to return, I think this calls for our once former resident Renegade Anarchist Folk Hero.....wonder how PJ is these days...

Maybe we should organise a meeting, or something. In the summer holidays. Yes.

/me puts on his old man pants
That may be good for some 'O you younguns but some of us dont have summer holidays!
/me removes his old man pants
That would be cool if we could find a central meeting point....like a MaSu concert ........
Anyone else feel a draft?
-
We had a nice meetup on the last release gig :P Maybe we should aim for the next one then ;) (it's due this fall I believe)
-
When that time comes, I'm sure we can arrange something.

Sadly, for me, Release gig = Sweden.
and for me Sweden = money I dont have, and probably wont for a long time.
-
As always, me and me bro will be there.

Mohee you can join us in a video conference. Or we should set up a fund which raises money for a ticket to whateverplace.

As always, I'll be there to take pictures and help out in any way I can (read: scar people for life).

Like me crying because I feel homesick

I'll try to be there if possible... I WANT TO BE THERE (if Gaijin has some room for me to accommodate my ass on). Also... if I get my moneythings sorted out and release gig ain't near of my next baby's release date.

What gets me is that the baby is "released" like an album or a... prisoner. -_-

Oh, do we have any information on where an eventual release gig would be held?
It doesnt really matter though because I would gladly travel to Luleå again, last time was one of the best things i´ve done in my life! :D
Soooooo.... Could I maybe stay at your place again Gaijin if there was a release gig in Luleå? :) :) :) :)

Of course. It was sheer joy hosting it last time, even though Iggman drank all of my expensive whiskey.

Remember that one. He said I was the most beautiful person in the world, and that I should go win Swedish Idol and become the Prime Minister. I also was a movie star.
Here's hoping that the pantless wonder will be attending this year =D
-
See, already more activitee.
Now we should find a place which fits. And where the band will be. Possibly Denmark, or Germany.

Aye, this is 5th pregnancy I've started so far... Since I've faced two miscarriages so far I'm not celebrating this publicly on face of family and workmates, I don't want to make my wife feel bad if something sinister happens.... Still I feel positive about this little bugger, I feel her presence loud and clear, I've felt since the start. When I saw those ultrasound pics and images of her she was doing quite nice gymnastics and she's only 9 weeks and 5 days "since making". So... I'm full of hope and positive thoughts, it seems that I will become father 3rd time before christmas.
She will hardly be prisoner nor album... More like "awesome amount of cuteness is about to be released"... or "beast is about to be released" :D
Anyway... I'm definitely wanting to make little roadtrip, it has been quite long time since I was on the road last time...
-
You know my home is open to you, man. Whenever. Just.. please: wear pants. I don't wanna lose my wife to pregnancy #6, ok?
-
you can stay at my home and u dnt hav to whear clothes ;D but i live in the u.s ....
-
I will surely wear my pants in the presence of ladies (or people who are sensitive when it comes to naked finns). After all there is old jungle saying "there is times when pantless wonder walks and wears pants to prevent innocent ones from temptation". And Ark... Living in USA won't make you safe - you know I've always wanted to check out American way of cooking as portrayed in Man Vs Food XD For your luck I'm at the moment poor bastard but I'm working constantly and someday I will have, again, more money for travelling purposes :)
-

The far too much food or the far too spicy food?
I've actually participated in one of his challenges, super spicy Orochon Ramen, shat lava for a week.
Most of the shit he eats makes me want to hurl.

Oh well theres lots of that, us "'Merrikuns" love our greasy porkfat.
-
And to think about those lovely hamburgers, nice big steaks and beef, goodies with tons of cheese on them and and and... not only my mouth starts to moisten but also my heart starts pounding faster, like wanting to fly... I want to get that food, goddamnit :D
-
not only my mouth starts to moisten but also my heart starts pounding faster
You misinterpret, thats it threatening to stop if you eat all that and abuse him.
-
I've never had bacon in my entire life... Wonder how it tastes like.
Just remember how fatty this food is, Gravehill. You don't wanna get fat, do you?

Due to religion, allergy to meat or just somehow managing to avoid the most awesome food in the world?
-
Moheeheeko : no, I do recognize it correctly, it's the feeling of joy. Or ultimate sexual arousal. Well, that's what happen when hedonist watches foodporn like that :P
[Aeon] : if I do look upon certain indexes (as I often do for I am nurse, healthcare specialist) I'm already fat. Granted, those indexes don't take muscles and such into consideration and I'm pretty heavy built. For example when I was in top shape with sixpack and all I was still fat according those indexes. And since I'm in good shape too (I excercise regularly, walk and hike) I don't care that much about my belly. I guess I'm something that goes along term "strongfat". When it's winter I'm fat, when it's summer I'm less fat... That's the way it goes.
-
Ok, cool.
Due to religion, allergy to meat or just somehow managing to avoid the most awesome food in the world?
The last one. I know, it's weird.
-

Or rather "a bear".

Actually you nailed it to the perfectness. Having beard and all :D
-
It doesn't have anything to do with the band, for me. I stopped listening to Machinae when they stopped making instrumentals, but i still hung around here, since there were so much more awesome people (there still are you guys, and you're awesome too!), but the main reason is my interests lie somewhere else now. I may still pop sometime, so see ya when i see ya, i guess! <3
And off to the bar i go.

Everybody get out of your holes! Robert posted something!

*yawn* Oh hai!

Wait... you don't happen to be Dimruthien, do you...? *checks* oh wait, you do! :o Welcome back :)

I may or may not be new and improved! :P

Potential enhancement is always welcome in a world in steady decline.
-
Well that sounded slightly pessimistic... Although I've been reading up on Hinduism recently and it seems like the Hindu believe the world is currently in a state of decline as well.
-
declines are sometimes good. you can't have fun going up a hill on a billy cart, for example.
-
I just got to experience one of the bad kinds of decline. A cat in your lap, whose position is in a steady decline will sooner or later find it appropriate to correct its position. With claws in thighs. Might be a bit adorable if it was a kitten of .5kg instead of a fat lady of 5...
-
Óuch.
Specifically our conscience and customs are deteriorating. Or so I've read.
Anyway, I failed to identify you as Dimruthien at first, my good lady. I kind of had this avatar of yours with an anthropomorphic animal on it permamently associated with you.
-
Well, never fear! It is the real me! *superhero pose*

Yeah, I'm still not gay.

This thread is now about music.
BRAID MUZAK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uejW9xIFCMw), because it's not actually Braid Music. I mean it is not original soundtrack, it wasn't tailor-made for this game. It's still a soundtrack, though.

Also, I suggest this thread be moved to Random, since it has clearly derailed.

Fine, have it your way, it's about bronies now. Though it's an uncomfortable topic, really: some guys made a "cult", so to speak, of a children's cartoon. "Fandom" would probably fit in there better, I guess. Some hate them. Others compare them to furries, say that many furries are bronies and vice-versa. (I wonder if Dimruthien happens to be a brony, now that I think of it...) I don't know any of those guys at all, though.
Oooooh, change of topic: you know I found Dimruthien on Encyclopedia Dramatica? I was, like, what the hell, man? Not as an editor, though. Just two .jpegs laying around, which quoted something she said somewhere as an example of a furry hating on furries, or something like that. That means she's famous now. :P But she changed her nickname, so nevermind that.
