I have my own board that none of you are invited to. I go on and congratulate myself on my excellent taste in music. And when I see myself in person, I give myself my secret handshake and buy myself a drink. Hey, there I am now!
No one should care if they are invited or not - that is the point - it's just another message board - just like any other message board on the internet - big de

I'm not aiming for an invite here at all. I went over to their board and saw the header and it had Thom Yorke in between a fucking dude from the Disco Biscuits, it's not for me.
I just found it kind of funny that they thought they needed a new board to discuss stuff, I find it kind of elitist and dumb. Sure we have dumb posters here (some would say me) but it doesn't change how many great members we have here who post regularly that got on this board because it was open to everybody.
Sal, I hope your not off drinking. Just because the other board does not feel you worthy of their postdom does not mean you should give up all hope.
i guess your kidding....im not realy a joiner...ive been to evry roo and never even had the desire to go to the brunch....not my thing! like i siad...i was just curious about why they needed the other baord and how they could diss so many other inforooers! imnot sure if i think its more sad, more childish or more stupid....but one thin for sure...that aint the place for old sal!

Eh...are we REALLY back to this again? I thought all those that were "bored" with Bonnaroo/Inforoo took their toys and went and formed their own private proboards so they could talk amongst themselves and about anyone/anything they wanted and not have to worry about outside ears hearing. It's a free country and for the most part it cut down considerably on the static bickering between cliques here which was a GOOD thing in general. If people got their feelings hurt cause they weren't invited...well..start your own invite only Proboards group and talk about what jerks the Soundboard peeps were for not inviting you
Personally I think it's ALL Jr High nonsense. A message board is by design a place for (somewhat) intellectual mature peeps to state opinions regardless of popularity of those opinions in an open forum of SIMILUARLY minded people with a SOMEWHAT common interest. We are NOT all going to agree on every little point - how BORING! It's called DEBATE and open DISCUSSION but without resorting to name calling, taunting, personal attacks and feeling like you have to create an "I'm OBVIOUSLY better/smarter/classier than YOU" mentality that forces a complete break in the community. Sorry it had to come to that but...not gonna shed any tears over people that just don't want to be a part of the bigger ideal. You can talk the talk part of the time....but if you don't walk the walk for real you are just a poser in my book....
And for the record in case there is ANY misunderstanding....I am ONLY a member of OPEN message forums....Inforoo, InfoVooDoo etc. I know about the existence of Soundboard and a few others from friends that ae on them, but don't personally participate both because I have no interest and have not been invited. I really don't care if it's a they don't want me or I don't want them....it's irrelevant to me cause it wouldn't happen eithe way - LOL! It's win/win the way I see it! Now if Chris Cornell or Tom Morello starts a private invite only message board...I might bend my rules a bit!
Look, I don't know why this needed to be dug up. The board was created quite a while ago.
It is not a secret, obviously. It is just a private message board that has nothing to do with Inforoo. Many of the members have never been on Inforoo. It is a board for a group of friends, that is all.

Who gives a shit if some people don't want to include you in their little club? Jesus Christ! If it's that big of a deal, start your own fucking board, exclude them, move on and quit bitching!
Now that I've gotten that off of my chest, I do have to comment on one thing about this "other board" that does disturb me. If most of our mods are active members on this other board, that seems to explain the increasing lack of their presence here. I can't help but notice that most of our current mods seem to only show-up and post just enough to appear active, but not nearly enough to effictively and faithfully execute their duties. I mean, honestly, Teine? Who the fuck is that? Wooz? Really? Adam? He hasn't posted in years. I see noobs everyday that are clearly more active and apparently more concerned with this board than these guys. Yeah. I know some of you are bound to say something like "You've got no clue. These guys have been around way longer than you." and that may very well be true, but that doesn't change the fact that they are virtual ghosts at this point. I don't know if that has anything to do with anyone else's problems with the "Soundboard", but when the very people who are charged with the oversight of this message board appear to be too damn busy elsewhere to commit to their jobs here, I can't help but think it's time for a change around here. If these guys are too cool, advanced, busy or whatever to focus on this board, maybe they need to step aside.
1) Most of the Inforoo mods are not in fact active members over there.
2) teine is the man, don't rag on teine.
3) People get busy. Every time a mod gets busy we don't rag on them or kick them out, and we certainly don't grab some noob off the street and put them in charge of things. If you want to make a constructive suggestion about the moderation of the board, I suggest you do it over on the Sonic Stage.
4) This is going nowhere. I see no reason for this thread to continue. If you have an issue with that, you can take it up with someone else.
