Why do people seem so mean and angry?

[orionstarr]

On this message board? Not all of you but a good majority on here just seem to bicker and are rude. Not cool, it's rock and roll friends! Be happy and rock out!

[CCDaDon]

A majority of the people who seem that way on here are either kids or teenagers and the people who aren't that description haven't matured that well... If i seem mean its usually just me joking around...

[brobot]

Yeah a lot of us are just joking around but there are those kids that like to be ass hats all the time.

[Bearclaw]

Don't think kids are the only ones to blame. Disgruntled adults tend to be the most abrasive members.

True we all remember master2uall.

[RockBandRocker]

There are more nice people on these forums than mean people. :):D


The mean ones tend to hang out in the Rock Band section.

If you are a Star Wars fan, than you would understand why people call it "The Mos Eisley of the Rock Band Forums".

Yeah, most of the people here are as friendly as Ewoks.


History of Rock = Courascant

[LZ_69]

LOL!! The Rockband forum section:

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany"

[Kiraweirdo]

I think more or less it's just people trying to be "elite" on the situation.

With any game, you are always going to have that "1337" crowd that just kinda seems arrogant and better than everyone.

[navaha42]

**** dis peese ov **** thred, and da ******y ***** hoo maed it!!!11!1!!1

LOL, Just kidding. XD

[grumpypariah]

the true elite can pull off a friendly, yet fun demeanor while keeping an intimidating profile via sometimes awkward commentary, endless knowledge of the subject at hand, and spooky avatars. ;)

[Mex]

Things can get skewed in a medium like this. Everything is text so while someone can be totally indifferent they come across as really serious, or angry, mean...etc

That's why god invented smiley's.

:) :) :) :) ;)

See?

[theantkid12]

I'm not mean...

Just a little over ecstatic that's all!

[sillystou]

I'm not angry or mad. I just tend to be on the sarcastic side of things when I'm on the interwebz. I can also be helpful though. :)

LOL, +rep if we had it

[gosox333]

I can't be mean. Just look at the smiley at the end of my post for proof. :)

See? I'm a happy person. :p

[Dustincopter]

itz the webz.

[soni546]

I would never be mean to people on the forums beause most of these people i can actually trust.




EDIT: GENERAL FORUMS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Der_Lex]

I would never be mean to people on the forums beause most of these people i can actually trust.

In that case, let me introduce myself. I am a Nigerian prince trying to get a large sum of money out of my country, and I could use your assistance... ;)

[A New Pyro Fool]

I think that you're list would look something like...

MEAN PEOPLE ON THE RB FORUMS:
1) OrdealbyFire
2) OrdealbyFire
3) OrdealbyFire
4) Apples (for his Riddles)
5) OrdealbyFire

HMX: Would you like to replace that last spot with a difficult drum song so your drummer hates you? : ]

You: K.

5) Lump

[Der_Lex]

i said most of these people didn't I! I don't think that includes you.

Should I feel offended by this statement? :confused:

[CheezerRox]

People are *****es. They usually keep these feelings inside in public because of fear.

On an interweb forum, no one can deck you.

It's more like:
"Would you like to add a really difficult song to the setlist for more fans and more money?"
"Hell Yea!"
"Everlong it is!"

This thread makes me want to break things.....

I almost always get Lump, so I just figured that it would be appropriate for me. Everlong, technically, is a MUCH harder song; hand down.

[kiggidykev]

I blame video games. :p

id say the hardest on drums would be visions or panic attack...

[soni546]

no, im just saying...............

[Der_Lex]

You guys are mean because you make me want to play RB2. How apt for this thread. :D

I do hope to have it by the end of the month, though... assuming that it comes out on the 19th and the Canucks ship it quickly.

[A New Pyro Fool]

I was just saying Everlong because we happened to be discussing it in comparison to Lump

The hardest drum song, for me, is Visions.

[Der_Lex]

no, im just saying...............

You're just saying you don't trust me. Me, your friendly neighborhood moderator who has never, ever done you wrong (have I?). I'm shocked. Shocked, appalled and aggrieved.

I'm going to write a blog entry now... and I don't even have one! See what you've done to me? ;)

Well, is Apples your partner in crime? I haven't seen him post in a few days

[Der_Lex]

Yes, Apples is on vacation this week, so he probably won't be posting at all until Monday. That makes this another riddle-free week, unfortunately.

[sillystou]

I'll put in a good word for ya Lexie, no worries. ;)

Aye, I see. If he is gone, then we can form a Paradox in time!

Back to the Future Soundtrack for DLC.

[Bearclaw]

I've never had a "challenging" song added to a setlist that wasn't Everlong. Only one time was it a different song and it was for an Ace of Spades specific add-on.

[MeleeMan]

None of Weezer's members could ever be mean or angry!

[A New Pyro Fool]

Hmm. Well, I guess that your copy of RB2 likes Foo Fighters a lot.

I wish mine had decent taste such as that.

[Der_Lex]

Awesomesauce. I really hope the shipping speed is as good as their shipping rate, though. That really was a bargain.

Probably should pick up a cool $1000 in PSN prepaid cards while you're at it. That should keep you caught up with enough RB downloads for a few months at least.

If you can point me to an online seller that doesn't charge me way more than the normal retail price, I probably would get some. For now my Entropay card still works fine, though (since it was linked to my account and in use way before Sony's new policy).

Does HMX pay for your DLC, or do you purchase it yourself?

[benson111]

I haven't found many mean people on these har forums.
Mostly to cool for school.
Who ever said the star wars ref earlier.
Hoth would be History of Rock, occasional wampa, mostly cold. :D

Since moderating is a completely unpaid gig, all of my DLC also comes out of my own pocket. I'll happily take user donations, though :D

That talk of gluttony is making me hungry for a past-midnight snack, though.

And yes, I know you meant 'glutton for punishment'... and that might make me hungry for a different kind of late night treat ;)

Everyone is mean and angry because Apples is gone and we don't know how to cope.

Thanks guys. As soon as I read these, I imagined Arnie as Conan, walking around in his loin-cloth. RB Strat slug on his back, his sword crossed the other way. Drum sticks at his hip in a holster and a mic, wound up Indiana Jones style at his other hip.
Disturbing. Just.... ugh.

for a second there, i read King of the Turds... my bad :(

LOL j/k

i posted a thread in this section a few days ago regarding something like this, but it was more of a rant then anything. My personal opinion is that the Setlist is the worst, too many people think their opinions are gawd-like and will diss burn and flame anything that isn't in their liking, which gets annoying.
