Why does it seem like I'm on when the fewest people are on or is that par for the course?

There aren't that many active people on this forum to begin with.

Ah I see, so it's more of a passive forum?

This forum was very active from 2004-2006 but has slowed down in the past few years. Basically most of the arguments and spirited debates that drove discussion have already been made, and few people here are looking for new metal to listen to, as we already know what we like (or in some cases, stop listening to metal altogether).

The best argument/funniest thread we've had this year would be the one on Volbeat's album review, I'd say. A link to that one: http://www.metalreviews.com/phpBB2/view ... hp?t=29303

Ah I see, reminds me of a hentai forum I once joined. It was popular and active for a while but eventually people stopped coming on, it was reduced to like 5 people before blinking out of existence.

Well, this place has been around a long time, and a number of us still lurk here, we just don't post as much as we once did. You asking questions should help with that. Check that recommendations thread again.

Thanks though I may have to reduce my choices a little to "best albums of the band" since I doubt all of them will fit on my iPod lol

There is always Metalforum.com

or Ultimatemetal

ummm...

What? We all have peculiar interests.

I hear that. Wasn't it FrigidSymphony who wanted to get banged by chicks with dicks?

peculiar interests indeed.

As for this place it was pretty active when I first joined (probably not as active as it once was) but a few people seem to have disappeared since then. I can't believe I'm going to say this but I miss Steve's antics

Steves been back for a while now. I'm sure he's on a pretty short leash.

Well that would be why I haven't noticed him. He's pretty entertaining sometimes but I imagine yourself and the others mods must get sick of him pretty quickly.

One of his lesbian fantasies.

buzzfeed article on gentrification of black metal or something

author seems to take the racist/homophobic part a bit too far. not a black metal fan at all, but i always thought of NSBM as a fringe genre within an already fringe genre.
