littlebistro Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Classic. Posting in a moonbeams thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 There was definitely a point where it felt like every single thread on here was somehow related to The Gaslight Anthem. Yeah, the beginning. Gaslight was beloved by the Org Core crew. Now they just cling to sink or swim to 59 sound (if at all). I doubt the Sink or Swim PO thread was more than a couple months into the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I got a random sink or swim record mailed to my house once. sold it on ebay a couple years later. best part was the mailer had NO RETURN ADDRESS ON IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Ha! I didn't even notice. I should've recognized the signature, but that Deep Blue username really threw me off. The best part is that I read the title, quizzically clicked on the topic, read the premise, and thought to myself what a goofy-ass thread. Moral of the story; trust your gut. [edit] I didn't mean to sound ungrateful for this topic. VC wouldn't be the same without you, Moon Beams, and we all know it. Well, you can judge for yourself. I haven't really posted much over the past 8 months. How's it been here? Improved, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbeams Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 When I saw this thread I was hoping it wasn't going to be someone who's been on the board for three months talking about how the community sucks, man. Glad it's a Moonbeams thread instead. things have really changed then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WereAllDudesHey Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 "the bands I grew up with no longer put out stuff and all the PO threads are devoted to new music." Seems natural enough Psssh... you and your fancy ass logic. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Where did the OG's mostly go? I think about jumping to Fat Wreck wiki for a musical taste more in line with mine but I know the regulars here. Some I might call friends.

mcguirk Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 My taste doesn't really align with the community but there are lots of cool people and the B/S/T forum is tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Wasn't around then but the diversity on the site now is awesome. It's cool how you can find everything from the latest Deathwish band, to something on Captured Tracks or SubPop, to a Rise or Hopeless band, to some small independent band that nobody's heard of on here. Something for everyone, and I think that's always better than being "scene" based. cemeterytapes, kyacrash, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konk Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I don't know what it was that made me check out The Hotelier, but it wasn't directly VC. It was probably punknews, but maybe I listened because I had seen the name here. Anyway, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'd say that both the current Release and S/T/B boards have become less and less relevant to my interests over the years... but only because I'm not listening to the same garbage I was when I was 19. Browsing new POs, 2008... Browsing new POs, 2014... No forum for old men. Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to start shit, just saying this thread is just not for you. controlthebleeding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Does it cost money to create a sub forum? (Sarcasm) Do one for each main genre. Those who dont like it won't be wrapped in a music catch all thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seamoney Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I still post here because I don't know why. This is how I feel. Not that I really even post all that much.

stl_ben Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Um...isn't a forum just what you make it? If you miss certain topics/discussions/whatever make a thread for it! If it's changed maybe that is partially because you stopped posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If you miss certain topics/discussions/whatever make a thread for it! then comes the post with the link to the missed thread. then comes the 'search button' joke then comes gifs inb4 lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
