Exalten, Stucky, for your "damn the karma, full speed ahead!" attitude .
I'm tellin ya, the Northeast represents on this board. I think I'm going to start saving all my Karma points for this thread.
Seriously, I try to be real cool on this board. I really do enjoy debating my point, but this is just a different environment from any board I've posted on in the past.
However, no matter where you go on this planet there are still people who are way too sensitive for their own good. Now I'm getting nasty PMs and bad karma for making this joke in another thread. It was in no way shape or form directed towards anyone. I didn't even quote the OP.
My other computer crashed...... Does this mean they're doing artist additions? I just found out my girlfriend has crabs........ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? A Homeless guy outside just claimed to be the second coming....... Does this mean they're doing artist additions? 2+2=4................ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Red means stop, green means go................ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? My jaw clicks when I eat.............. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? My dog pooped in my slippers............. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? My cat ate it.................. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Wayne from the Flaming Lips............ Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Tool isn't a "heavy" band................. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? "I have pop pop in the attic"............... Does this mean they're doing artist additions? I can't "afford" Bonnaroo................. Does this mean they're doing artist additions?
I thought it was funny...... I thought anyone who posts here regularly would find it funny. Guess not.

Wait. Are you saying they're doing artist additions? Haha just kidding. My personal favorite though: Wayne Coyne From The Flaming Lips............. Does this mean they're doing artist additions? Great stuff. Unless your physically harming me in some sort of way or your directly mocking my cool ways and trying to pick fight I try to laugh at all the things people make fun of me for. Then make fun of them back. I think there's an old saying for this. Sticks and stones? Anyways, lets try not to bring a bad vibe into this thread. Back to the party!!!!! KARMA ALL AROUND!!!!!!

I think it's wrong to edit out the last line just to get people to agree with you. Please quote yourself fully. Just for everyone who is reading this, his last statement was what could rub someone the wrong way...and here it is:
I'm done looking at thread about artist announcements............ Does this mean they're doing artist additions?
All that was replied to him was that if he didn't like it, then don't read or post! That's it... There was nothing harsh or nasty as he puts it.
Alright. Alright already. Lets all sit down and have a drink, have a smoke and forget about everything. We're all the same and we're all different. This thread is for good karma, not bad.

Because I PM'd him. The thread was locked before I could comment on his reply to me. Nothing was nasty about that, either.
This wait for additions has people all riled up.
That was my point to him all along. I just said that people are just excited about Bonnaroo and to not post if you don't like the thread. If you want to know all that was said, just read the locked "bonnaroo site is down, new info" thread (link at bottom). It seems to me he's playing the sympathy card here. Nothing was mean about it but he responded with what one could interpret as smart a$$...I even put a smiley at the end of my reply!

And he couldnt have gotten any other PM's huh
Are you playing devil's advocate here?
Of course he could have received other PM's, but since he and smeman and I were the only one's in on that conversation, I assumed he was referring to the one I sent him. He did post that comment about nasty PM's only a few minutes after I sent it to him.
I never said I didn't think it was funny, by the way, cause I got a chuckle out of it....I just said to not complain about how tired you are of those kinds of threads. Let the mod's do their job.
Karma for oleander for bieng from Johnson City, Tennessee!!!!! Reminds me of old school bluegrass songs where they talk about Johnson City. Can't wait for Old Crow Medicine Show at this years Roo!!!!!!!

Oh and druidcat's next in line!!!!!!
Yeah....can I get a whoop whoop for Johnson City? (ok..that was cheesy!)
Druid...I used to live in Boone...not too far away from you.
Some karma for you, illyb (in a minute when I can give karma again)!
good god, there's a lot of karma being doled out in this thread for what seems to me like not much of a reason at all other than to be nice or pump up someone's karma counter.
i think as a result of this karma-craze we need to change the karma system a bit mods! there is so much karma being given out that much like monetary inflation, karma is rapidly being devalued and requires additional 'points' in order to retain its value.
in order to keep pace with this 'karmic inflation' i propose that each exalt is now worth 2 karma points, and each smite is worth -2. otherwise, it becomes practically impossible to keep pumping up the karma counters since 1 point no longer gets you what it used to...
edit: maybe a full point increase is a bit much...we could do it like normal inflation and every year inforoo is around raise the value of each exalt/smite by 3%...
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
illyb...I think the expression you were looking for was either, "if ya can't hang with the big dogs, get off the porch" or "if ya ain't gonna poop, get off the pot"
I'd give ya karma, but the rules dictate that I give it to xiphoid, but of course it counts as two for him, so maybe he can spare one

Not to be critical (well, actually I suppose I am been critical, ummm how about . . . not to be rude), but you might want to check your economics. Increasing the amount of karma which can be doled out at a single time will decrease its value and cause inflation to rise further. Also, suddenly doubling the karma rate would basically devalue everyone's current karma by half, further contributing to the problem you described.
I do agree, however, that karma is being tossed around a little liberally at times (not necessarily in regards to this thread, but in general). Perhaps the system does need reworking, if that is something the mods have control of.

oops, you're definitely right...i keep trying to speed-post in between windows since my boss keeps walking in and out of his office
guess i should stick to inforoo'ing at home heh.
Perfectly understandable, I just think its funny that you drew a comparison between karma and economics, that made me laugh harder than the aforementioned "jokes". Well done.
Well, xiphoid, this thread is actually a karma fountain. The rules of the thread are that you give the last person who posted a message karma and then post a message and someone will give you karma. (unless you keep posting over and over again, than the karma goes to the rightful owner who hasn't recieved it yet). All rules are subject to change. Void where prohibited. The fountain will take place rain or shine. We do reserve the right to withhold or revoke your karma if any rules are broken. All rules are not really rules and you do not have to follow them.

I think he understands that, and was merely pointing out that said "fountain" is devaluing karma across the rest of the inforoo universe and taking away from those who have slaved away for their karma over many months and more traditional means. Too many youngsters running around all willy nilly tossing karma about as if it came back every hour . . . rapscallions . . . the veterans remember a day when karma was something you earned . . . ramble ramble . . . ramble . . .

i followed the rules and exalted the poster before me ???
just wanted to post something other than 'here's some karma' as its much more fun to read a thread with conversation
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
It is much more fun to read conversation then to just read "Here is some Karma" and it seemed as though it was intelectual conversation. I am also impressed by the connection of economic and Karma.
additionally - I think the rules and regulations of the Karma Fountain were hilarious.
Sorry, I just had to post those rules for liability reasons. My lawyer informed me it would be a good idea.
As far as you old karma givers out there. My dad is a big shot exec at a major corporate karma fountain so I've never had to worry about karma all my life. I guess life's just easier these days.

My karma is ridiculously low. Probably b/c I started a thread about why I wasn't going to bonnaroo. I've been to the last 3, I'm just taking a hiatus for now, I'll be back.
I love inforoo to death, though. It's where I get all my multi-genre music info. So even though I'm not rooin it this year, I still like to hang around this board to see what else I can find out. I'm sure that I'll be kicking myself once I read everyone's postroo discussion. I never smite anybody and every now and then I come through with a good link. Ya'll could hook me up with a few karma pts if, you know, you want to. No pressure.
