Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
When I first posted it was in the glowstick thread. Then I started posting elsewhere. It took awhile to get responses but like Becca that didn't really matter to me, I have lots to say. Then one day I made Meg laugh, I think it was a Klinger joke, then I was on my way.

half of my posts go unnoticed, but I don't care, I just like to read other peoples ideas of who should/shouldn't be at roo and whatever else people have to say.
The best time on the board is while announcements are being made, and/or leaked and/or discovered by people like BonnarooDetective....haven't seen him post in a long time!!
I've been looking at/posting on the infogoose board, and there's hardly a soul there!! Just keep posting and welcome!
Really, what it comes down to is there are a few "post whores" on the board. Yeah, you know who you are. These are the unfortunate souls stuck in apparently boring jobs in an office somewhere in front of a computer all day. Don't let the post whores drive you away. Keep posting and you may be one too someday! ;D Oh crap!!! Am I becoming a post whore? I feel so dirty.

The board has blown up over the last year or so. Due to this some posts and new users go by largely unnoticed, but you are surely welcomed and your thoughts appreciated.
I agree with Oleander, the more you post, the more you'll feel "part of the club."
exactly. I used to be a lurker, then I decided to make an account. I posted a bunch in the Now Playing section, and after that I posted elsewhere and had no problem fitting in.
Yeah, I'm mourning that loss as well.... We really need to make that a priority next year...I'll bring the theme music even Think you can find George Clooney??? ;D
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!

I post a lot, and although I'm not as recognized as some members I feel generally people notice the majority of my posts. I usually just post once or twice in "heated" threads. I find getting involved in those threads usually portrays a negative vibe about you no matter what side you take, because eventually someone's gonna irritate you so much to where you say something you didn't really intend to do. So my advice is to avoid those threads, start a few of your own discussing things you want to hear opinions on (but search first, of course) and have fun with it.
Welcome!
(ps. be sure to have corn on you at all times... ya never know when Corncat's lurking...)

This board changed me from a crabby F**k, to someone I can stand again. You people are good medicine! Post Post Post, its good for your Bonnaroo soul. ;D
I think it says something about Inforoo that we saw this post and so many of us jumped on to be helpful and friendly.
I love you guys.
Yes it does!! Thanx all for the welcome!! After I started this thread I went and read about Kramer and what everyone did for the fella last year,and, well, let's just say I now feel "stoopid and sheepish"! You folks are great people (including most of the negative folks) and I'm sorry for bein' on my pity pot yesterday.

Do ya'll forgive me?!?!
I would have to say there is nothing to forgive - you stepped up and posted how you felt - that's how to get noticed around here.
Besides - I think I can speak for most of us - we are a pretty forgiving group - none of us are perfect, after all

This past Bonnaroo was my first, and I found this forum when I was looking for set lists. I lurked for like a week before I realized that I was taking in too much information without giving back. So my first post was a Regina Spektor recording.
Whether it be a show, set list, or humor, adding to the community may help you sink into it perhaps. That's what you did by raising new member awareness, haha.
Anyway momtojsb5, from one new person to another, welcome (even though you registered before I did).
My first Bonnaroo too. I googled, found Inforoo, lurked, then posted. Got smitten, got my feelings hurt, jocked up, and kept posting. We bitch, we moan, we complain, but we are a good bunch of people. ;D Welcome to Inforoo Mom!
Soryy you do not fell Welcome mom. Hang around, post, get to know some folks and that will all change.
There is a DEFINITE negative vibe around here like none I have ever seen since the end of roo. I dont know, maybe people are going through withdrawl symptoms or something?
In about two months, the activity will die down a bit and the negativity will subside.
Stick around with us for a while. Unfortunately like some of the others have said, a message board is like a little snapshot of society. you have all kinds. Just like in real life, you have azzholes, you have them here to. But for the most part, this is a great group of people that you will find incredibly informed about roo and music.
On a side note......CUT IT OUT Y'ALL!!! You know who you are (all three of you!)
I'm glad you posted this, I was starting to feel kinda down too. This was our first roo and and I posted some before but since roo have been posting more because we are just excited about what just happened (and we missed a lot so maybe we are living a little through other inforoosters - see my post bonnaroo.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1182481547&page=5#1182863773 ). It was starting to feel like trying to get in with the "cool kids" with all their giving and receiving of karma and such and hoping that someone will find my post funny enough or like my picture enough to give a dog a karma bone, hoping, waiting, like a dog who knows he shouldn't beg but just sits 5 feet from the table the entire time you're eating. ok, ok that got more then a bit mellow dramatic but I just couldn't stop. I just keep thinking if only I had yelled out "corncat" while at roo or told my son to yell it, if only. anyway, from the response this post has gotten so fast it seems we were wrong. here's some karma for making me feel better, i feel "cooler" already giving karma for the first time ;D now if only I could find how to give karma and put a picture by my name...
