The popular thing to say but not really seem like you mean has been "this board sux nao >:(" for years. For all the negative nancys out there I've got to ask:
- If the board sucks "now" when exactly was it better?
- What music boards are actually better?
- When wasn't this board troll summer camp?
Show me a RTTP-er who says this board had a golden age, and I'll show you a guy who is just grumpy because he's 34 now and no one comes on here to tell him how much they liked his old band's Mercyful Fate cover at the Chopping Block anymore.
What's the alternative to RTTP? What board really believes in the "it's about the music maaaaaaaaaan" ethos that so many of you think you believe?
- Bridge Nine? Pretty cool if you like hearing about the world from the perspective of high school kids and grown men that own Terror sweatpants.
- The Noise Board? Old tyme homos tucking their AARP cards into their fedoras on the way to Deep Ellum. Good luck.
- Lambgoat? Blabbermouth? That retarded new england metal Facebook group where no one would admit that they hadn't heard Spinny V? Shit, at that point why even bother with a board at all? Just leave Youtube comments, you'll get the same out of it.
I reject the revisionist history that this board wasn't founded on trolling. Chariots of Fire anyone? You're looking at the Christopher Columbus of logged in trolls right here. Yeah, most trolls are for shit. Who cares? If you haven't found at least 1 troll you've identified with you're doing it wrong. I've been on the troll radar for years and I still defend the rights of anon assholes to say things they couldn't possibly get away with IRL.
Furthermore, I like sifting through Beelze fight threads for BM videos. I like the neverending Aril/Alex battle where I don't even know if they're kidding or not. And I like that not just any random with a browser and 100 free hours of AOL can come on here and impose their musical opinions without running the gauntlet first.

-If the board sucks "now" when exactly was it better?
When you were an angry HateEdger who I enjoyed trolling in 2003 about smoking weed at an Opeth Concert, and you wanted me to go to Bridgewater State to fight you.
- What music boards are actually better?
FMP.
- When wasn't this board troll summer camp?
It started out as a camp of 17, now its a camp of 347.
-Show me a RTTP-er who says this board had a golden age.
It seems as though some "golden age" posters have left and been replaced by anonymous trolls, but I really don't care. As long as there are shared interests and at least a few intelligent minds to discuss issues with, I'm having a grand old time.
As for my beef with aril, I'm over it but apparently he's not over me yet.
Translation: I added aril as a friend on facebook after I continually annoyed him with my butt buddy Cher but he hasn't clicked accept yet and probably won't ever.
-If the board sucks "now" when exactly was it better?
.
exactly. people talk about the 'old days' of rttp like it was any different than now. A bunch of bored dumbass metal heads talking shit and laughing at dumb pictures, with the occasional band promotion.

It's not hard to be the better man when you hold grudges over such trivial matters. I sent you that friend request as a sign of good will, take it or leave it but in the end you will have to face the fact that other people have the right to express their opinions and your word is not the only one that matters.
The proposed ban and resulting petition and following is a direct result of your only child syndrome. Heaven forbid someone actually calls you out when you're bullying and slandering myself or others that aren't even present to defend themselves.
GOOSE.

whatever, i say shit logged in all the time anyways dont care and how would you do that anyways if you don't have access to the server, I understand the IP is public but..
- Bridge Nine? Pretty cool if you like hearing about the world from the perspective of high school kids and grown men that own Terror sweatpants.
This is a pretty funny description of B9.
I've never looked at the Noise board or Bay State Rock
Every time I read the Bridge Nine board, all I want to do is just fly into a berzerk rage and start stabbing everybody in sight. Just thinking about that place makes me sick.
RTTP rules because people here actually have a sense of humor and I consistently lol at this forum. If I want to read butthurt, I'll go to General Discussion on Lots of Noise and facepalm myself to death.

Sense of humor?
Horrible humor here. Reposts of old news constantly, and recycled internet articles. Rttp is usually 3 weeks late with what is "funny." Site sucks.

Oh, and classic posters that dont post often anymore but brought more to the table than most:

The Golden Age of this site was when we in BLack Pyramid were still undisputed the best band in New England and all of you trend jumping pussies still swung from our nutsacks while throwing LSD laced blunts onstage to us to smoke and bought all of our beers and pussy for us.
Sure are frontman went crazy and we released a shitty album but what you are all missing is that this Golden Age is coming back as we move forward with our reunion and plans to release our epic wizard sleeve new album that will further blacken Southern stoner and kick all the poser reunions like Acid Bath and Phil Anselmo ass.
So quit bitching load that bong goddamn you are a bunch of winy pussy bitches motherfuckers
Show me a RTTP-er who says this board had a golden age, and I'll show you a guy who is just grumpy because he's ---25--- now and no one comes on here to tell him how much they liked his old band's ---Slayer--- cover at the Chopping Block anymore.
That's more like it. I peaked at 17, wanna armwrestle about it? Meet me at the Chopp- shit...

and the hilarity is what keeps me around, sorry I laughed at your Modest Mouse collection. I like Fugazi, let's make out.

Also, there were more funny PEOPLE here back around 2005ish, give or take. Now it's mostly the random images that are funny. Which could be said about the entire internet, maybe.

One more thing, I DON'T KNOW WHO MOST OF YOU PEOPLE ARE ANYMORE.
I think it's because the small handful of bands I gave a shit about all broke up, combined with being a semi-shut-in and not going to see Hirudinea or whatever Tall Eric or Unky Jeff or wayland folks or Rich Horror is doing now and whoever else I'm forgetting and everything else.
