I have the distinct feeling I missed the joke in the first 20 or so seconds of this video and didn't need to watch the whole thing. Right?
He's calling you a troll.
I thought "trolls" were the one that picked on people on interent forums? I'm not really sure. But I did read what a "lurker" is and sort of wish I had stayed one of those. Who would join a forum to get themselves picked on?
I was explaining why people "think" you're an idiot.
People in this thread have already tried to help you and explain the Thur rules to you but you overlooked that and got butthurt and kept arguing.
Members of this forum have very short patience around this time of year due to the influx of mouth breathers who take massive sh*ts on this forum daily and junk it up, rather than bother reading a single post.
Thats all.
OK. Sorry, for junking up everyone's forum.
I just figured when they see a post like "DMB 2013" they would not even enter and move on; like I do with 9000 other threads I am not interested in. Well, glad I could entertain people for a Saturday night at least.
An hour or so ago we're talking splitting a VIP ticket. Then you come in and call me an idiot because I don't know the Thursday headliner rules. I'm just wondering why anyone stopped into a DMB 2013 thread started WAY too late according to "inside sources" just to talk smack is all. Why not just call me an idiot in their head and move on?
imarob, people think you're a f*cking idiot because you actually think DMB would play on a Thur. Clearly, as you've previously mentioned, you're never been to Roo before. Thursdays are reserved for the newer and lower tier acts. The 2 main stages (What/Which) are not active on Thursday.
And the reason that DMB is not playing Friday, is because we already know McCartney is playing on Friday.
So now, you can continue to argue with us and make yourself look even more stupid, or you can stop, sit down, and learn a few things.
Why would anyone come in here at all, then? Why not just move on with everyone else that has all this insider knowledge and leave it alone?
Does it make you feel any better about yourself or do you really think you're helping a new member?
I wouldn't mind DMB in the least. Hello, sorry - I'm the new guy. Nice to meet you. Macca on Friday from what I've read and Bjork Saturday. I'd really look forward to just relaxing on Sunday with some classic DMB jams.
Looks like this Macca thing isn't news for you either.
True. Read about Macca for some time and still wanted DMB there. Same things I want now, no?
Welcome to the Inforoo community. Please note that the word "community" is being used in the sense that this is a large group of people with similar interests, and is absolutely not being used the way hippies use it. You know what I mean, brah.
If you want to have a happy, healthy and enjoyable experience here, and wish to avoid being hated and mocked mercilessly by people just like me (because I have nothing better to do than hate hate hate), here are some suggestions as to "do" and "do not." Think of them as helpful guidelines, except that when you don't abide by them everyone else will secretly be hoping that someone tampers with your brakes.
- Please refrain from attempting to claim you have some SUPER SECRET inside information about who is playing this year. If you're lying, we'll find out, because idiots try this crap every year. And we will never, ever stop making fun of you for it.
- Try to make clear, concise posts that add to the discussion. Rather than simply post saying "I agree," or "yeah Mastodon is awesome," explain why you like something, why you disagree with something, etc. Logic and coherence are your friends.
- Don't start a thread on a topic without at least checking back a few pages in any given forum to see if there is a similar or identical thread already in existence. For instance, if you're ultra excited about the possibility of My Morning Jacket playing at Bonnaroo 2013, don't just start up a "MY MORNINING JACKET HEADLINER" thread on page one - check that page, and pages two and three, to make sure there isn't a thread about My Morning Jacket already. If you're ultra excited about the possibility of Skrillex playing at Bonnaroo 2013, just toss yourself into oncoming traffic.
- Learn the different forums and their purposes. There are forums and subforums for pretty much every topic you could think of, so take a few minutes and figure them out so that you can more easily locate the type of information you're looking for. As an example, if you're looking for music downloads, there is a "downloads" subforum in the Troo Music Lounge. If you want to discuss the Roo Clues, there's a subforum for that too. Everything in its right place.
- Similarly, try to keep your posts/threads in the right forum or thread. For instance, don't start a thread about how stoked you are about Wakarusa in the "Troo Music Lounge" forum - there is a sub-forum dedicated to discussion of non-Bonnaroo related music, so take it over there. Likewise, if there is a thread entitled "Headliner Speculation," don't go in there and start posting about how you think Flying Lotus would make a great late night act. You're right, but it's in the wrong place. You will see this guideline being ignored all the time, and that doesn't make it okay, just like the fact that just because millions of Americans choose to vote Democrat doesn't make it an okay thing to do.
- If your grammar, spelling, or typing skills are grossly sub par then I reserve the right to take a massive metaphorical shiz all over you.
- Don't post about NO NO WORD!!!. Or curse. There are word filters in place here, and even though they're ultra-stupid, they exist for some reason of which I am unaware. I mean, you can do this all you want I suppose, but the word filters will change your posts into unreadable nonsense.
- If you start getting personally upset, or find yourself getting worked up in a lather over something someone said, or find yourself unable to refrain from firing off racial/social epithets (unless its a joke, because racism = humor, am I right?), take a step back from your keyboard or iPhone or Android or some other hipster telemessaging device, and relax. It's a message board. If someone is making fun of you, it's most likely in complete jest. Unless it's me, because I already hate you.
- Finally, here are some topics that come up all the time. Avoid starting discussions about them whenever possible, because they accomplish nothing.
1) MTV does not own Bonnaroo. It just doesn't, so stop it. If you honestly believe this than you probably have better things to do than post on an internet message board, like "finish high school," or "stop sniffing glue."
2) If you really need to go into an in-depth discussion about how Kanye West ruined Bonnaroo in 2008, please be aware that you will be torn to pieces in about 30 seconds like you were thrown to a pack of hungry wolves. Which is pretty much exactly what will happen. Also please refrain from talking about how the Grateful Dead clan hates Bonnaroo because of 2008, because that's completely unfounded by anything and just makes you look stupid.
3) Similarly, Bonnaroo has been "ruined" multiple times over. By my count, the festival was ruined by Dave Matthews and his fratty fans (2004 and 2005); by Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, and all their emo depressive sadness (2006); by Tool and their ultra hardkore metal fans (2007); by Metallica, Mastodon, the Sword, and all the even MORE ultra hardkore mosh pits (2008); by Kanye West and all the MAINSTREAM malarky bands that came along with him (also 2008); by Bruce Springsteen and his cheesy Super Bowl Halftime Show-esque antics (2009); by Jay-Z and the other assorted hippity-hop rappers and their totes dangerous gangster thug fans (lol CASuAL RACISM) (2010); by Kings of Leon and their teeny bopper fan base (2010, but please note they were totally okay back in 2004 and 2005 when nobody knew who they were); by Arcade Fire (2011, nobody actually believes this but insane people); by Eminem and Lil' Wayne because a) they're too mainstream, b) they attract a bunch of THUGS and ROUGHNECKS, c) they attract a bunch of TEENS and FRAT BOYS (which seems to contradict "b," but whatever), and d) THEY WON'T EVER SHOW UP ON TIME BECAUSE THEY'RE RAPPERS. The larger point being, every year someone makes boneheaded complaints that Bonnaroo is going to be ruined by Random Artist X and their fratty/young/violent/aggressive/old/stupid/smelly/equine fans. It's old, and tired, and has no basis in reality. People are people, you'll find smurfs among fans of every band, get used to it.
4) There is no Thursday "headliner." Every year, Pollstar or Jambase or someone will list a certain artist as playing on Thursday night, and that artist will be someone a little too big for Thursday, like Widespread Panic or Snoop Dogg. People will start going full frittat, yelling about a Thursday headliner. Not happening. It's a mistake by the publication in question, that's all. Note: Someday, this may change, but it's not likely to happen this year, so just shut up about it. No, really - you're wrong, shut up.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask a veteran member of the board via PM, or a mod, or anyone except me, because I really will in all likelihood just mock you openly. I'm serious, I'm a very important man with very important things to do and I can't spend all day answering your questions when I already spend all day wasting time on this message board and finding ways to charge it to clients. Christ.
We don't know all the bands and dates. But we do know some, mostly from very reliable sources. Many directly from the bands.
It was supposed to be a joke. Didn't work, obviously. I poked around artist confirmed a few months before I even created an account. It was all for undercard. It;s Sunday that throws everyone off - either Tom Petty or WSP or Prince or Radiohead (wait, no - can't guess them again).
It's just confusing why people came to post at all if they have no interest in DMB. It's like they want to be mean on purpose.
We're all on an internet forum at midnight or later... probably have more in common than not.

Right on. I was just going by tour dates. Between that and all the mysticism and rumors that nobody can backup or name it gets confusing.
I told you what rumors I was talking about. If you want the specific posts, you can look them up using the search function at the top of the page. If I wanted to be a d*ck, I would have just made jokes and never explained anything.
Well, come Tuesday you can gloat then. If you are going to watch Tuesday since you already know all the bands and dates then.
So, are you telling me they aren't there at all then since you already know? I'm good with Macca of course. Give an old dude the other names so I can start listening to them now then, please.

It's not mysticism. People arn't gonna come out and give their sources. That's the number one best way not to have sources. It's long term members that we all trust.
I told that dude I'd apologize on Tuesday if he was right.
AGAIN: I was just trying to get some positive spin on a band I wanted to see is all.
Another one for Juggs. He is going to have enough to get a paper published soon
Que? Man, I seemed to have brought a lot of ill will with the forum. I was thinking just other fans would show up instead of a bunch of people that had all the answers or just poked around to get a rise.
What year of high school are you in? I'm guessing junior.
I'm old enough to have kids that are juniors in college. I didn't realize high school kids still dug DMB. Glad to know I'm still "cool" after all these years.
What are you basing this on for a Friday night slot? It's a very specific person and date. Do tell...
A couple of different people have heard from sources that Macca is playing and that it is going to be Friday night. It's people that have been around and don't have a history of screwing around or posting things without being sure.
Come Tuesday I will either be back to apologize or ask for yours, then. You know; with upsetting the Bonnaroo Gods and all.
I could see DMB maybe doing an afternoon set in the Other Tent, but that's about it.
Seriously? One of the highest grossing tours between 2000 and 2010 and you "see a tent". You may night like them. But you need to be more realistic than that, mi amigo!
I'm just hoping they're there. I could care less if it's Thursday or Friday. If it's at all it has to be one of those days because of their tour dates. Macca or anyone else Friday night is purely speculation until Tuesday honestly.
Daniel Tosh is doing a show the 13th in Ohio and the 15th in Atlanta. That's either a day break for an 8 hour drive or a spot in The Comedy Tent on the 14th.
