good fucking lord, I don't know why I found that so funny. I was scrolling down reading all the messages and when I got this I bursted into tears and nearly fell off my chair!!!1

I'm just weird that way, thanks for making me laugh IMIlk.


by the way, I'm Canadian and I have to agree with Tiesto14. I haven't been here the last couple of days so I don't know what really happened in the forums that got him banned nor do I care too much. Bottom line is I'm sick of all this american bashing too just as much as he does. It seems like everyone here is an armchair expert on foreign policies... whatever.

Tiesto14 was bold and daring...a little too daring perhaps.

He was definitely one to overreact (I remember getting in a marijuana debate with him back in the day that was like 9 pages), but I just think it was reflective of his passion for his opinions.

Spamming never helps though, so maybe he deserved a temp ban and a talking to by Swamper, but who am I to say.

However, what I hate is that some people are allowed to get away with a ton of bullshit (i.e. bashing ANY country, making fun of people for being naive or confused, shitting on peoples opinions, etc.).

I remember I was trying to run a series of threads about different interesting debateable issues that were chronological (The Debates #2 - Abortion, or something like that, and when someone else created one using the same tag, about a completely pointless topic, I just politely asked him to use different thread titles. Then I get made fun of and flamed by a bunch of people. I admit, it was childish, but I didn't say "HEY YOU ******, DON'T USE MY GOD DAMN THREAD NAME! I'LL KILL U!" I was polite and direct. And instead of people just saying "Dude, it's not a big deal. Don't trip about it", I got "God, you must be quite the uptight little fuck. You want us to reserve thread names for you?"

To which of course I responded "Hey bitch, I was being polite, mind your fucking business." So then her friends go off on me for saying "I know nothing about her" when in reality I do (She can be a mean bitch judging from her post).

In addition to that, a moderator friend of hers warns me to shut up and stop being a rude dick, or he'll ban me.

I believe that tempers tend to run high, and the best decision isn't always the easiest one. But what do I know. I could get banned for my opinion

for your information Mods can not ban People, they can recomend a member for bannage, at the end of the day banning a member is really the last thing any of us want to do on these forums and luckily we've not had to do it that often.
And i think if this site was that shallow to ban anyone for thier opinions it would not be as big and as strong as it is today.

You must not go into the NYC forum too often.
It definitely doesn't represent NYC.

i really dont care or wats going in this site anymore. i hardly visit the chill-out room or music discussion. why? because this site is full of morons who just dont know anything else expect trance and the only trance they listen to is pvd, tiesto, etc. blablabla. boring this is a musik site, so if you wanna share your knowledge on musik, then start in the musik discussion. its very easy to come on here and make stupid threads. its been like this for some time now so it isn't new. im really bored of this site, everytime i come on here i see the same threads and same discussion's and morons like tiesto14 make it even more boring, as to his knowledge about other genders...will edit this post..lol dont have time, im in my computer class hehhe

it has been going since he started which is basically near when i started. he has always been on the brink for the past 9 months so to say it wasnt fair or is unjust is kinda unfounded. i mean theres heated discussion then theres just slating into people with no excuse whatsoever...

i would dig up excellent examples but its not worth it.

blue neon knows the score

Same here! I only post in the Chill Out Room. Why? Because I hardly EVER have anything useful say for the Music Discussion. Speaking of, to everyone: HOW MUCH HAVE I CONTRIBUTED TO THIS FORUM'S MUSIC DISCUSSION? Probably nothing, if u ask me. I'm not a DJ and I never spun before (nor have I even USED TTs, etc.) so, that pretty much explains it. Plus, there's a lot of artists that I don't know. Aliases make it SO confusing. Even though I've been here since December 2001, I still feel like a TA In Training or a Junior, because of my lack of knowledge in the Music section. Most of what I have is stuff that major DJs played (Tiesto, PvD, AvB, Corsten, etc.) and it's all stuff that MANY others have on here, so it's not rare. I get most tracks/sets MONTHS after they're out. Most tracks, I don't even HEAR of for at LEAST a month after they're out. So, as far as me, I may be a good resource for other things but, for new releases, I'm TERRIBLE. I don't even have broadband so, I can't get releases fast, even if I heard of them when they came out. So, from all this, what would u give me, as far as participation on these boards? On a scale of 1 - 10.

if you find the board useful in any way then it has done its job, regardless of post count or how much you are "involved"

Assuming a Gaussian scale (many people getting a 5 or 6, less a 7 or 4, and very very few a 10 or 1) I'd say 9.

Actually (and now I'm probably forgetting somebody) you, sothis and johnsmith spring to mind, when thinking of interesting and intelligent posts from "new" members (ones not around spring 2001). You're also good at posting new threads with new topics, I've noticed. The reasons why you're not getting a 10, include that you occasionally lose your temper...and that you posted this self-pitying post

rengegade, cortexbomb, quddha, and many others also contribute intelligently.

I think it's ok here, sure there are a lot of assholes, but when you get a large group of people together, assholes are a certainty. I just learn to stay out of threads that seem like they would be useless, and ignore the posts of people just out to cause trouble.

sometimes it's hard though, people like tiesto14 really make my blood boil, and i had to restrain myself, and didn't do that good a job.

oh yeah, and you too trancaholic, i greatly enjoy your posts.

ive actually been around on TA for at least two years... i just never posted till about a year ago

What is Gaussian? Anyway, Thanks! I actually like a 9 better than a 10 because it shows that no one's perfect. It's the reason why my Economics/History teacher used to give final percentages ONLY up to 99/100. Because people would end up with 620/600 points, however some of those points were BONUS points, NOT points based on regular assignments. So, regular scores would be around the 560+ range (which, in my opinon, is great!). He's a tough teacher. He takes points off for ANYTHING but, at least he's honest. If you have a few points lower than a passing grade but, you had good behaviour, etc., you'll pass with a passing score.

Lol, u ******s take this site so fucking seriously some times.
WTF?

Actually it's interesting to see how many people lurk the boards for at least a good year or so before joining!

I know I was coming here regularly at the start of the summer in 2001, but I didn't know enough about the music to feel like it'd be worth joining, as I didn't think I'd have that much to contribute to the community.

TA is a tremendous resource for music knowledge, particularly new tracks, and it's opened me up to hundreds of new tracks, sets, and artists that I never would have known about otherwise.

I think that huge level of knowledge can also intimidate people at first, because once you start reading the forums you can start to see just how little you actually know about the music. Given time though I think most people eventually give in and join the discussion, it's just there's a sort of pre-trancEaddict in training training mode for many.

*triple sigh with a 90-degree chair spin*

people are too ignorant, something comes up and they think they're so special, so smart that they will post about it first... without thinking that someone else might have thought about it... heh...

I lurked around for about 6-8 months before joining too. Early in 2001 was when I found out about here.

wtf???

i meant that to be a 180-degree spin...

I used to visit trance addict from summer of 2000 on for the tracks... but never ventured into the message boards until March '01. I am never serious on message boards, so I never bothered. I'm a bit of a message board terrorist. I do agree alot of you people take this shit too seriously though.

JohnSmith: Thanks. I (certainly) didn't forget about Renegade, I just don't think of him as a new member, although (according to my definition of new members) that would mean I classify May as spring - maybe that's unusual

Ali92: The Gaussian function is sometimes called "the bell curve" - because it looks like a bell. I meant it as opposite to a uniform scale (which would be a horizontal line), where 10% of all members would get a 1, 10% a 2 and so on.

yeah, i suppose, i kinda forgot you were only talking about newer members.

for what it's worth, i've been here longer than it looks too.

ive never engaged in forum warfare until oct 2001, when i signed up to TA. i couldnt read something and not get involved, for others its the opposite i suppose.
