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 this is fake but whoever made this is effin fantastic.
Fox and Friends will spend an hour tomorrow morning discussing if the GOP is getting unfairly criticized as the culprits for the Lineup fiasco. The headline will be something like Are the Democrats using Firefly as a political maneuver?
Why are you going to Firefly instead of Roo?!?! Big KoL fan I assume?
Yeah!!!!!!
Lol hell no. I'm a little shorter drive to FF than Roo, and one of my buddies that always goes has plans that weekend. I also think its pretty down year for Roo (most major fest's in general) as far as the lineup is concerned.
I'll be fine if the lineup has Sir Paul and a handful of undercard acts that I enjoy.
I actually really love Delaware. Like I said I moved here from PA about 5 years ago. While I miss the mountains of PA I find there are many things I love about DE. For starters this place makes great beer. Dogfish, Dominion, Fordham, even the small microbrews like ironhill are great.
I actually love Delaware, too. I agree about the beaches ... and the beer. Partnering with Dogfish Head for The Brewery tent was probably the best decision Red Frog ever made. Can't think of any other festival with its own beer.

Makes sense - I was kidding about KoL (though would have been v upset if you had said "yes" not in colored, sarcastic font). And yeah, I'm unfortunately around 10 hours away from Roo and 2 from FF. But I actually love the undercard at Roo, and if the leak/fake is pretty accurate for FF...idk, probably won't be going.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Im new to festivals within the past two years, but has anything ever happened like this? Meaning this much of a delay/problem in lineup/ticket sales within the past years of any festival? Or has this been the worst.
In 2014, 15% of Firefly attendees came from Delaware. 19% came from Pennsylvania.
That's actually pretty funny. I'm originally from PA and moved to Delaware in 2010 so I'll count myself as a half a percent for both of those. The actual residents of Delaware (sans the college age demographic) seem to not care for FF. Actually "completely loathe" is probably a better term. I'm not sure why, considering it's bringing in an obscene amount of revenue. I think the great traffic jam of 2013 pissed a lot of the natives.
A friend of mine can literally see Dover Raceway from their house and they still refuse to come. We're working really hard to convince them otherwise for this year.
It still amazes me how this thread keeps chugging along with no new information. It's a forum anomaly.
2013 Firefly Thread - 11 pages 2014 Firefly Thread - 153 pages..... so far.... will probably get to 200. 2015 Firefly Thread - Firefly overtake Inforoo and adds an F..... Finforoo slowly takes over the entire internet.

that's not how math works.
It would if there were only 100 attendees haha. Or if she made 799 clones of herself (assuming an actual attendance of 80,000).

I think its just the music festival scene in general that has blown up. 3 years ago the only festivals that was really watched closely on here beside Roo was Coachella, Hangout, and Forecastle. Now Firefly, Shaky Knees, Newport Folk, etc have gotten bigger.
Mods, once the lineup is announced, can we immediately lock this thread like we do the Bonnaroo speculation threads?
I think it's best to keep it contained. I mean, when the HL thread gets locked everyone scatters and the board becomes inundated with nonsense for a few days. Now picture some of the champion posters in here who would have nowhere to go and start reeking havoc everywhere....

Screw that, I say bring it on. Then they can't use the "ugh this is OUR thread to discuss Firefly rumors" excuse.
We're both going to hell for keeping up on this thread
I would make a comment here, but my post count means it would come off as "mean," because apparently joking and sarcasm has no place in this thread...
Seriously though, I was new once, not long ago at that. And I never had any "run ins" or thought anyone here was mean or rude or arrogant or anything. The only thing about the high post count I remember thinking was, "how can someone possibly post that much!!" Flash forward to just over a year later and I get it. I remember someone, (Dave maybe?) actually warned me early on about how addictive this place can be. It is addictive and somehow I've done it without making any enemies. Or at least none that I know of. Well, I know a couple of people don't like me- but it has nothing to do with board related occurrences. Believe it or not, these internet people are real. AND THEY HAVE FEELINGS!!!!!
I was going to comment on this last night but ended up catching up with the thread and going to sleep so that's how I spend my nights haha.
Its silly people get offended with some of the more brash comments on this thread. I like the sarcasm and funnies on here, some quality good times and laughs.
The allure to inforoo seems to get stronger the more time you put in and vice versa. Someone who just jumps into the fray I could see being overwhelmed to a point. People with high post counts tend to have lots of inside jokes but most all of it is on the board if you had been keeping up. So really its mainly the people that are too lazy to "hop on the train" and figure out how the flow of the board works here/only care for sucking what little info that the thread has and complaining of the high post count people.
This brings us to the age old question, why can't we all just get along people! Calm your tits and take a joke!

Death by inforoo flame war set on the battlefields of most recent threads? How appropriate, I third this idea.

Eh, it's just more reason why I wish the post count was hidden anyways. Then we'd have to judge who's an asshole based on actual things they say rather than their post count.

I love the high post count complaints since the top three right now are , itrainmonkeys and myself. is nice to everyone. itrainmonkeys is the Swiss mod. I'm nice to randos, at least.

Post count does give some general information of a user right of the bat which isn't helpful to someone who doesn't care but can be used against you. I can't relate with people making fun of posts counts and the like. How do you know how the person got to that many posts? They just make assumptions that these people have no lives and blah blah blah, like what are you going through, reading their old posts or something? Ignorant people, smh

I'm glad you specified randos because I was already prepared to argue how "nice" you really are.
Seriously tho, you're right. The top 3 post counts are easily 3 of the nicest people on the board. Oh the irony of it all.
I deleted my last post because I fucked up the quote somehow and I hate it when people leave quotes all jacked like that. #toomuchtimeontheboardproblems
I think carlzner was the only one complaining about people with high post counts, haha. And wasn't that like two days ago?
The only people talking about anything to do with high post counts are the people with high post counts.
So meta.
He might be the only one who has spoke about it in this thread, but it's something that comes up with a pretty fair amount of regularity when people have complained about the forum over the years.
I know that this is the first year that Firefly has been really active on Inforoo, but for actual Roo, is there a lot of activity on here during the festival?

In here, maybe. But it's something that has been brought up way more times than just by him or just in here. And I don't remember, because I have been keeping up with this thread only off and on, but I believe it wasn't just him. Too lazy to go look though.
