A Plea To Moderators:
Today is going to be insanely busy around here. When the lineup drops, knuckleheads are going to be starting inane, pointless threads, and trolling like crazy: "Band X sucks so hard, etc."
Please do one of three things: 1) Lock down Inforoo membership for 24 hours or so, so that only current members can come in and post. It would keep clutter down, at least initially. 2) Be on your A games, and be vigilant. 3) Give me temporary mod status, for the next 24-48 hours.

I'd go with option #3, but that's just me.
BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
You mock, but go take a look at that place right now - just a complete sh*tshow. I'd love to have a decent conversation about the lineup, but it's filled with terrible, one-note threads and pointless complaining about the lineup.
I was never saying you were wrong, but lets be fair it hard not to call a whambulance on the rare occasions I catch you biznatching .
Except there was no biznatching to be heard - I was merely prognosticating as to what was going to occur, and suggesting steps to prevent such a logjam.
For instance, if I said "I think the brakes on my car are wearing down, I should have them replaced," that's not biznatching. If I don't do anything, then run myself into a tree and start whining about my brakes failing, that would be biznatching.

Mods, I think we should rename the troo music lounge the "come here if you want to argue and insult each other lounge". I mean, that is basically all it is, especially as of late.
I am just saddened to see some beloved and well respected board members aging it on instead of spreading love and the true bonnaroo spirit on to others. *ahem*

I'd just like to say that the TML has completely devolved into a mess of inane, repetitive threads, trolls, flame wars, and nonsense, all since the lineup dropped.
If you aren't going to make me a mod, maybe someone wants to get in there and take care of sh*t? The quality of posts on this board has gone WAY down.

It's like a joke how many times the same comments/questions are being posted. Why can't people just take the time to scroll a little bit, find the thread that is discussing something, READ WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN POSTED, and then give their comments?
Oh well. I feel like most of the negativity has died down. A lot of regular members aren't really present and it's full of new members who are creating threads asking questions that already have threads? (Like "who do you want added"). It's silly.

i dont think it will really dissipate for another few weeks - March?
it's a little frustrating reading the same crap, so while ive been browsing fairly regularly, i have been laying somewhat low since the announcement. im guessing im not the only one...

My method is as follows:
1. Stay away from troo music lounge as much as possible. 2. Keep my musical opinions to myself.
It is sad it has to be like that but if you say anything good or bad about ANY band people will lash out at you... I mean in the end we all love the same thing, right? But I think people tend to disregard forget that.

It's really great how long-time posters on this board are avoiding the area where music is supposed to be discussed because of how awful it's gotten. I mean, it's not like this is a board designed for discussion about a music festival, or anything.

Just rename it the "Your favorite band sucks and so do you if you don't recognize that my favorite band is the only legitimate choice to headline Bonnaroo" thread. Or maybe not.

The people who come here and do nothing but spout all this negativity usually don't stick around. So it's sad that I can't have great discussion with a bunch of the people who usually discuss things all year round. There are some quality threads (Dave Rawlings Machine for one is all positive and helpful and good discussion.....no problems) but a lot of people just want to fight lol.
It's all about "INSERT-FESTIVAL-HERE's lineup is better than Roo's lineup". Why should there be any competition. The lineup is what it is. Let's discuss it lol.
This is one of the toughest times of the year since we have a lot of new people joining and posting. I thought there was an automatic PM that explained the rules of the board and what not. I will look into that.
When I registered I didn't get any message, don't know if I was supposed to or not.

Very sad but I do the same thing. I went in there the other day but felt like I had to totally censor myself and walk on eggshells. For the most part I just stay in the Other thread or the Arcade.

Well everyone being afraid and not posting isn't going to help change anything. How about we just get more regulars posting and if anyone starts being overly-insulting then the rest of the members just tell them in a calm manner something along the lines of "dude...chill. have a civil conversation/debate. not a hate-filled rant". come on guys. fight for the TML we know and love lol
I lurked the TML for about two years now. It was always the most interesting part of the board. I originally viewed the board for the survival guide. I didn't find anything that informative besides that. I skipped right over all the other rooms and went to the music one. I was a member with posts before I ever looked into any of the other places. Now I have found my way around pretty well and know there is more informative places than the TML. I am a pretty new member and basically an outsider so here is my opinion. The mods do a pretty good job on here. It's not there fault this thing is so big there is much more info than one person could take in. Let 'em work. Here are couple things that would make it easier to navigate for everyone. 1 Make Veiwing Sigs optional. If I could read posts without all these stupid big qucking sigs, it would make it much more enjoyable. This whole thread would be on one page.
2 If there is going to be 10 stickies on each page, make them collapsible, or make the amount of threads that show on each front page more so we could better view the board
3 I know it is important to have mods for each room, but the same names are on each one.
4 Some folks on this board get there emotional needs filled from this place. Some of them spend so much time on here it creeps me out. They are not mod material!

What does this even mean, I don't think there are going to be new mods. We already have like 10 of them, we really don't need anymore.
HE custied me. for real dude? I was talking bout the guy who has spent over a year trying to get them to make him a mod. You must have a guilty conscious
I. 1 Make Veiwing Sigs optional. If I could read posts without all these stupid big qucking sigs, it would make it much more enjoyable. This whole thread would be on one page.
Viewing sigs is optional - not sure where you have been - but it has always been optional - go into your profile - click on modify profile - scroll down to account preferences and you will see a line that says "show signatures" with a drop box next to it. Make sure your drop box says "no" - voila - no signatures
3 I know it is important to have mods for each room, but the same names are on each one.
The mods do it for all of the rooms - there are not seperate mods for each room - they are not assigned to a room - that would be why all of their names are on all of the rooms
4 Some folks on this board get there emotional needs filled from this place. Some of them spend so much time on here it creeps me out. They are not mod material!
I guess some of us just have nothing better to do in life then pop in and out of here all day long - oh wait - a bunch of us have made life long friends IRL from this board and that is why we pop in and out of here all day long - because this tends to be an easy place to catch our friends - BTW - we also use email and FB to keep up with each other.
HE custied me. for real dude? I was talking bout the guy who has spent over a year trying to get them to make him a mod. You must have a guilty conscious
First - I would have to assume you were accusing Nod of this since his post is right before yours and quotes your post - hmmmm - not good form to accuse someone of something if you have no proof that he did it. he may or may not have
AND - if you are talking about Juggs being the one getting his emotional needs filled from this place in trying to become a mod for over a year - yeah - well you are out of line there also - Juggs has been around awhile and he only wanted to mod the TML to clean up the crap that newbies always start up around line up time.
k - everything clear now?? you have a nice day and bless your heart now!
oh yeah - I had to edit this to add this - I custied you this time - not for any real reason other than I could AND - your picture reminds me of my ex-husband and I don't like him very much right now.
