A challenge to the entire community.

[hewhoislikegod]

I think it would be an excellent gesture if each and every member of this community made an effort to send a pleasant PM, write a nice testimonial or request a friend at least once a day.

I, myself, have been doing this for the last couple of weeks and think it would be yet another way for this community to become even tighter.

The online friendships would grow for chatting, here on these forums and also, playing RB online.

Please let me know if you think this is a good idea as well.
Thanks all.

God love ya'.

[pmpboarder]

Do I get an achievement? :p

[Apples]

Do I get an achievement? :p

Yes, yes you do. Though its glitched, you might have to repeat the process a few times to get credit.

[o1skinneej]

I like to exchange pleasantries VIA the forums. Anytime I notice a cool avatar or a great sig., I let people know. A little politeness goes a long way towards making these forums tolerable (at the very least).

[afterstasis]

so that's what those PM's were for... i thought i was special!

[Tsavo]

Especially if the person owns a different console than yourself. We need some unity, not segregation!

EDIT: Sounds like mabber needs a PM...

[Flawless]

I try to send PMs all the time to Apples... mainly about what happened to some threads of mine but he ignores me :(

And I appreciate the thing you did on mine Who, I'll repay the favour at some point!

[gusano311]

sweet post i like it alot

[afterstasis]

Sounds like mabber needs a PM...

it sounds to me more like he needs a back-hand.

[kiggidykev]

Wouldn't a lot more PMS around here make it more hostile...?

ba-dum-tsshh

[Tsavo]

good thing i dont check my pms.

I guess so? So I assume you'd rather enjoy reading all these complaining/flaming/console wars threads than one thread/PM trying to get people to play together?

[hewhoislikegod]

Especially if the person owns a different console than yourself. We need some unity, not segregation!

EDIT: Sounds like mabber needs a PM...

Q both FT.

It's like when I met jtrousd. We were all friendly and chatty and then we found out that we were on different consoles. :(

It's like Romeo and Juliet, I tells ya'.

Good point, though. There is too much console hating going on and I think that this would be a great way to bridge the gap, via friendships.

I don't care what console you're on, or what guitar you use. If you can finger tap your way to a GS on a beastly track, I'd like to talk about it. :)

[hewhoislikegod]

Wouldn't a lot more PMS around here make it more hostile...?

ba-dum-tsshh

I had to read it twice to get it.

Hilarious, btw. :)

[Thom1234]

what a terrible idea and a complete waste of time.
I see what you mean. Why the hell should we be nice, decent people when we can go and ***** about DLC and insult each other?

[o1skinneej]

I see what you mean. Why the hell should we be nice, decent people when we can go and ***** about DLC and insult each other?

Cause that's just jerky.

[dgiles79]

I don't have any friends on Rockband.com :( and I never get any PMs :(

Spreading the love is a great idea, the community seems to have been falling apart a little recently (too much immature fighting over music, DLC, consoles etc)

[Thom1234]

Cause that's just jerky.
I was being sarcastic, which I guess kind of goes against the point of this thread, which I think is a great idea.

[brobot]

I hate everyone here


Nah I love all of you hurt by the cold. I agree that actually being friendly with people makes it alot more fun. The console wars are stupid too let's embrace one another and be friends.

[Hajime]

what a terrible idea and a complete waste of time.

I'm sorry you are such an angry person.

Maybe I'll send you a pm about it...

[o1skinneej]

GROUP HUG!!!!

*opens arms*

[meekus]

o1skinneej, love the avatar, Floyd rules, i have a muppets albumn from years ago, where he sings Wild Thing, it was so fun, and mabber, there's no need to try and turn this thread into an argument, it's a good idea so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[kiggidykev]

I'm sorry you are such an angry person.

Maybe I'll send you a pm about it...

Hajime, I'm urging you to make one more post and get your status from Roadie to Rocker. That's all.

[Hajime]

Hajime, I'm urging you to make one more post and get your status from Roadie to Rocker. That's all.

Oh, cool, I hadn't even noticed that I was on the cusp of a status change.

[o1skinneej]

o1skinneej, love the avatar, Floyd rules, i have a muppets albumn from years ago, where he sings Wild Thing, it was so fun, and mabber, there's no need to try and turn this thread into an argument, it's a good idea so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you kind sir. Although, your post was a little difficult to understand. Were you stating that you like my avatar (Floyd) and he rules, or that you like my avatar (actually Dr. Teeth) and ALSO Floyd rules? Either way it's cool, but everybody should KNOW THEIR MUPPETS!

[verdige]

I agree, more love for the masses!

[HyeJinx1984]

I don't have any friends on here :( *sniff, sniff*

[Hajime]

I don't have any friends on here :( *sniff, sniff*

Me neither, and my dad has an account! haha... he probably just hasn't been on since I sent him the friend request though.

[meekus]

omg that's right. Wow, i can't believe i did that, sorry. I just woke up and the eyes are still a little blurry. I wholeheartedly apologize for the muppets gaff, In about a half hour, Kermit's going to show up on my door and whoop me :P


Edit: I'll send you one Hajime, we guelph residents must stick together, and gotta show the love for Dark Helmet

[hewhoislikegod]

I don't have any friends on here :( *sniff, sniff*

Then answer some of the 9 billion trillion PM's I send you.

[Tsavo]

Maybe I'll send you a pm about it...

But he would never read it :(

No need to apologize! But your pennance (SP?) is to watch "The Great Muppet Caper" and say three "It's Not Easy Bein' Green's". Amen.



NICE PIC TSAVO!!!! LOL

[Dharkanjil]

Then answer some of the 9 billion trillion PM's I send you.

That is not a small number.

[verdige]

Indeed, not a small number :o

[Hajime]

That is not a small number.

That's relative.... it's pretty small compared to nine hundred and ninety nine quadrillion trillion billion million googolplex.

[Dharkanjil]

That's relative.... it's pretty small compared to nin hundred and ninety nine quadrillion trillion billion million googolplex.

Confirmed: One hundred and ninety nine quadrillion trillion billion million googolplex songs from NIN as DLC next week.

Go G-spot! Also, tomorrow should be pretty chaotic around here since it's residence move-in day, and Gordon St. will be closed, I do believe =p

[verdige]

Confirmed: One hundred and ninety nine quadrillion trillion billion million googolplex songs from NIN as DLC next week.

These numbers are way to high for me to comprehend :x

[SRVRIP]

I love lamp!

[Hajime]

Confirmed: One hundred and ninety nine quadrillion trillion billion million googolplex songs from NIN as DLC next week.

That's an impressive catalogue... and I thought the 170 CD Mozart Complete Works box set was ridiculously huge.

[hewhoislikegod]

Any other thought guys?

I would kinda like to keep this mildly on topic and for it not to turn into another MP delay spamfest thread (as that leads to lockies).

[Tsavo]

I foresee the future of this thread to be a dark, metallic place if this train keeps on a rollin'.

[meekus]

it's all good for me, i live on Willow and don't need to go anywhere near gordon :)

[Hajime]

These numbers are way to high for me to comprehend :x

Deadpool is sweet, in reference to your avatar.


it's all good for me, i live on Willow and don't need to go anywhere near gordon :)

I live on Campus, so I'm pretty much screwed hehe

My helmet?

[meekus]

I foresee the future of this thread to be a dark, metallic place if this train keeps on a rollin'.

nah, he means a lock

[Dharkanjil]

nah, he means a lock

A [rare] positive thread in which no one has done anything remotely taboo getting locked? Seems a bit unlikely.

[hewhoislikegod]

nah, he means a lock

I think he was joking, dude.


A [rare] positive thread in which no one has done anything remotely taboo getting locked? Seems a bit unlikely.

I think if the respones were to continue they way they were headed, it may have been locked for off topic spam and chit chat.

So, really? Any thoughts about making this a tighter community?

I've been sending PM's, testimonials and friend requests for a good 2 hours straight but, not many people seem to be online yet. This topic should be buzzing in a few more hours, when all of the other posters get off of work/school.

Keep an eye on your inboxes, friend requests and testimonials y'all!!!

[Tsavo]

I'm seeing some friend requests/messages. I knew you couldn't resist mabber :)

[master2uall]

what a terrible idea and a complete waste of time.


i agree, we can all just chat right in here like normal, and still remain dicks.

[hewhoislikegod]

They seem to be flooding in all over now.

It's kind of exciting. Makes me happy. :)

[paulyp1919]

This does not seem METAL at all!

[dady5000]

Do I get an achievement? :p

What about a Trophy eh?

[defenestrater]

Fantastic idea, hewhoislikegod! :D

[PacoL250]

Do I get an achievement? :p

How about a trophy? Or would one have to wait 2 days after the achievements are awarded? :p

EDIT: Ninja'd by dady5000...

[andrewyamo]

Lets'd do it, We can all become E-Friends and talk about how awesome Harmonix is on the forums.

NOT!!!!!

[Mex]

I think this is an awesome idea.

The OP hewhoislikegod left a testimonial on my page a little while back and I thought that was cool as hell. We exchanged a couple of PM's and now we communicate on a regular basis. So what's the big deal right? Well, it takes random posters on the internet and makes this feel more like a community.

That's all kinds of awesome in my books. If I want to engage in random flamewars with people I can do that on many other forums. But here, because I effing love this game I want to be able to communicate with like minded players.

Nobody wants just randoms on their XBL or PSN do they? This is a perfect way to fill up that friend list.

Also, I notice that people don't hesitate to flame somebody around here when they don't appreciate a post but how many people give credit where it's due when they see a good post? It takes a few seconds to send a PM, add a friend or write a quick testimonial.

We need more of this I say!

[hewhoislikegod]

I just get back from dinner with the wife and this is what I came back to?

Thanks a bunch sMexy!

That was the best possible response I could ever imagine and every word of it was bang on.

I want to see this develop into something bigger than a two day fad and is forgotten about, soon thereafter (like my "please fill out where you live" thread). I want this to become something bigger and memorable. Something that we can all look back on and say, "I remember when" and it was a whole different story afterwards/since then.

Keep 'em comin' guys. This really means something special to me (and hopefully many more).

[rgdrafting]

Haha! I thought for sure that this was going to end as a joke-thread! Mostly because hewhoislikegod always seems like the first to throw the proverbial 'smack-down' post when he deems a post/thread unworthy!

He's never ruder than necessary...but always as rude as the situation permits! Don't get me wrong...I almost always enjoy his blunt (& sometimes scathing) posts. I'm just surprised to see him promoting peace and goodwill!

I admit that I can get carried away sometimes (especiall when it's 3:00am and I haven't slept in days) but for the most part, I'm one of those old geizers who is looking for some real, mind bending, intelligence waxing conversations about the politics of music and gaming. I really love this game and this forum with everything I've got.

That made me laugh so much. That is, what I would call, a true testimonial to one's behaviour.
Mine are always generic remarks like, "He's a good guy", "He makes smart comments" or "We think a lot alike".
I guess I should put a little more effort into my future testimonials and go back and do some older ones over again.

And hey, the short testimonials are just as good as the long ones.

[packerfan8675309]

maybe if you guys werent so creepy....

i kid, i kid

[JTStevens]

Great idea OP, sign me up.

Feel free to send friend requests, PM's, whatever and I'll do the same. I always respond to messages.

Five-star thread.

You mean like that rude PM you sent me *******.

rotflmao.......


I don't have any friends on here :( *sniff, sniff*

It'll be ok, I'll be your friend, I'm mostly nice :)

[rocknrolxdx]

I try to send PMs all the time to Apples... mainly about what happened to some threads of mine but he ignores me :(

And I appreciate the thing you did on mine Who, I'll repay the favour at some point!

*Gasp* Apples!!!!!!

[hewhoislikegod]

You mean like that rude PM you sent me, *******?

1. Fixed

2. Bypassing forum censors is a poopy thing to do. :rolleyes:

3. I don't recall ever sending you a PM worthy of an "*******" response. I'm sorry, I guess. Either, I was really tired, you deserved it, or a combination of them both.

4. I sincerely apologize.

Apples ignores you, you ignore me; no biggie, eh?

Dang it, Flaw dog!

Your testimonial was up a billion years ago, combined with a friend request. I guess having an identical sense of humour, a love for drums and loving my fellow Canucks isn't good enough for ya'?

HA!

You're still funny, though.

[NeverHeardOfEm]

I really like this idea.

I'm new to these forums too, and could use some more friend requests on my psn account. I only play Rock Band everday! :D

Though it seems most of you play on XBL. Which is cool, too.

[hewhoislikegod]

PSN friend requests can be made through the "Bands Wanted" forum, in one of the many PS3 threads.
They can also be obtained by making friends on here and getting to know the person via private messages.

Welcome to the forums! :)

[hewhoislikegod]

I'm new to these forums too, and could use some more friend requests


Yeah. I want friends...

Both of you should check your inboxes.

[Der_Lex]

Cool idea. hewhoislikegod's new sig is full of win, by the way... to the right people, at least :D

[hewhoislikegod]

It was the coolest looking out of the three choices given. :D

Off topic:

Awwwww. I can't believe I was demoted to "General". :(

[hewhoislikegod]

See?

No responses in an hour.

That's what the General Forum does to awesome threads.

[kiggidykev]

That's what the General Forum does to awesome threads.

To be covered up by silly polls and Youtube links. Such is the fate of threads on the General Board. heh

[hewhoislikegod]

Three hours and no responses?

You killed my thread Der_Lex.

Blast! What the Deuce?

I will extend the Olive Branch. From a 360 user to a PS3 user.

I did :)

4. I sincerely apologize.

P.S. I do remember the time in question. You were following me around to every thread I was posting in and calling me rude names and such.
It was the worst case of trolling I had ever seen on these forums.

So, in retrospect, you totally deserved it.

I don't hold any grudges and hope we can get over that and be big boys now.

[Der_Lex]

Three hours and no responses?

You killed my thread Der_Lex.

Blast! What the Deuce?

Except I wasn't the mod that moved it.
Technically speaking it IS a general thread, but I felt that the Rock Band section could use a positive message a LOT more.
Obviously, one of my esteemed colleagues didn't agree... :D

[hewhoislikegod]

My appologies on the assumption. My biggidybad.

OK. Who's the mod that moved this thread!?!?

Let me at 'em, let me at 'em. I'll fight 'em with one hand tied behind my back, see?

[Mex]

not yet, I don't really care for the op, and really didn't care for the pm he sent stating i should stay out of any threads he's in.

I see. One thing I've learned in these forums is it's easy to get into an argument, which can quickly get personal. But at the end of the day, we could probably all get along. I mean really, it's nothing a couple of beers couldn't fix eh? ;)

Too bad there's no beer here :(

Either way, the spirit of the thread is what matters no?

[LinkStrifeLeonhart]

Good idea here. I'll try to send a friend request to those that have positively posted in this topic and try to type of a testimonial of those that I've come into contact with on other topics.

[JTStevens]

Here here, Sammies for everyone!

A little bit of my Boston bias coming out. :)

[Sgt Pepper]

Sounds like a great idea. I'm all for making this place a little friendlier, especially with the hostility due to recent DLC. I can't promise it will be a daily thing (sometimes, circumstances keep me away from the boards), but I'll certainly do more in the way of testimonial-writing and friend-making.

[hewhoislikegod]

More support is never a bad thing. Thanks Peps!

[hewhoislikegod]

50+ hours since the last time a fellow forum goer responded to this thread.

I'm going to petition to have this returned to the Rock Band forum where it will recieve more exposure.

I hate the General Forum.

I hear what you're saying, I'm gonna send out a few friend requests to some of the posters in this thread today so if anyone sees one from me feel free to approve it if you'd like. :)

[hewhoislikegod]

This is my official request to the mods to have this thread moved back to the Rock Band forum.

I know it's probably never been done before but, this is one case where I think it would be justified.

A mod response would be great.

Thank you.

[Mex]

While we're at it. There were a few new forum members in the thread that stated they wouldn't mind some friends etc. Just want to remind them to check their profiles because they probably have a friend request or two waiting for them.

[RnR]

I sent a couple out and only got one back from "hewhoislikegod" I will send out somemore. I really wanted a PS3 as I really wanted to play "Haze"

[Mex]

You Sir are welcome :D

[JTStevens]

Gonna send a few more out today...just have to go over the thread and see whom I haven't sent a request to yet.

[Jess]

I find it a bit sad that we have to remind each other to do this sort of thing in the first place, but nonetheless it's a wonderful idea. I'll be happy to write Testimonials to those I come across in threads, and making new friends is always good too, especially if a good conversation gets going.

I guess it is a bit sad. Like I mentioned before it seems alot of people are more interested in coming to the forums to complain or flame someone else but they don't do the opposite when it's called for.
