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!!
I know we're all excited to be a part of inforoo, but after looking at the bonnaroo message board today, i think it's getting a little out of hand... and obnoxious really.
come on, am i the only person who thinks it's a bit rude to start posts saying "you're not cool if you go to inforoo"???
we have our own message board, lets try not to take over theirs.
When we post stuff like that, we DO look like a bunch of elitists... and I know that's not what were going for.
With boards in general, unfortunately I think some people take advantage of the anonymity (?) and make bad posts because they can get away with it, so to say.
Whenever I visit any other board ...say even discussing something as random as toothpaste, I'm amazed at the amount of people flaming each other for silly reasons, or the random people posting things that make no sense. ...that's the internet I guess
Fortunately Inforoo is a very friendly place and has avoided becoming a place full of "flamers" (and by flamers i mean people making rude posts )

I actually feel a little bit guilty for even starting the inforoo check in... :-( I certainly was not trying to start something... Oh well, I am just going to stick to my little corner of Roo happiness and anticipation here at inforoo!

I think the problem is that there are people on here who have become friends and may be inclined to post to one another more often. Nothing wrong with that. I have a relatively low post count but thats because I usually only post when I feel like I have something really good to say (sometimes).
Oh, and the whole corncat thing is really annoying to me for some reason. Its like one of those mildly funny jokes that people laugh way too hard at and talk about all the time and everytime you hear it your like, ugh. Haha, I realize I have probably committed Inforoo blasphemy

i actually agree with the corncat thing a bit but i keep it to myself.. hehehehehhe...cuz ya know...yah. altho i like the term corn. but yea, i mean we are friends here, thats what happens when you post 5000 times on the same message board, or any message board, but i for one am always ready to include one more person, or 53283948324923. i have a weird thing about that cuz i was teased in middle school and left out and i never want anyone to feel like that with me woe is me

I don't think I would be feel as welcomed at another bonnaroo type message board, because Inforoo truly has some of the funniest, NICEST, and entertaining people around the world.
And I love the unity of all of us getting amped for roo!
I wasnt here for the whole corncat thing, so I guess I don't find it as amusing as a lot of people (even after reading the whole corncat thread). I think it's more of a "you had to have been there" kinda thing... maybe that's why when people just weht over to the new boards going NOM NOM NOM it kinda made us look like we thought we were better than everyone else over there... I agree, I like the layout of the inforoo board better than the bonnaroo board, but I don't think there should be a "ones better than the other" because that's silly.
I think inforoo (and I posted on bonnaroo) is very helpful, There is no way my wife and I could have even made it through bonnaroo last year with out the advice of people on here. I think the rude behavior has been on a few occasions and not by members as a majority. I am still learning and improving and planning on bonnaroo for next year. For whatever reason there are a few people unhappy. You cant please everyone. besides, I think it is some who got the arse kicked on song title game by becca or allyroo.
