Are there other band message boards

vixnix · 10-05-2016, 09:13 PM

Where a bunch of negative asshats come and shit on the band and each other, or is that something peculiar to The Smashing Pumpkins

duovamp · 10-05-2016, 09:25 PM

I don't know.

I'm on other music boards and the only difference is better tastes in music

Also moderators

myosis · 10-06-2016, 12:16 AM

like boards of people who mostly like punk music?

myosis · 10-06-2016, 12:16 AM

apparently there's a pearl jam board with asshats

teh b0lly!!1 · 10-06-2016, 01:54 AM

i imagine whatever guns n roses boards there are out there wouldn't be the most positive towards the band's existence in the past 20-ish years

LaBelle · 10-06-2016, 06:30 AM

Actually, I found a Guns N' Roses forum a while back that was mostly made up of people defending Axl's bullshit, it was sort of beautiful in a sad kind of way.

To me the biggest difference between netphoria and most forums is moderation really. Even when netphoria had mods they were never any good. The things you'd see here would never fly in other forums (like people saying they wish other boarders would kill themselves to stuff like lemonparty).

When I first joined that felt like I was sneaking into something I wasn't supposed to witness, and that was kind of interesting in a way.

redbreegull · 10-06-2016, 02:07 PM

I've always kind of suspected that the nature of SP's music is attractive to people with certain personality disorders and Netphoria would seem to support that hypothesis, but maybe other boards would be equally like this without moderators

ilikeplanets · 10-06-2016, 02:13 PM

They're all the same, and so are boards about things other than bands. Non-music boards tend to squabble over details more, though

redbreegull · 10-06-2016, 02:38 PM

I've only belonged to a few forums. before Netphoria it was a Tolkien board, and the culture there was obviously very different. this was also a long time ago though, and before 4chan basically became the culture of the whole internet

redbreegull · 10-06-2016, 02:40 PM

before that I ran the 2nd most popular Banjo-Kazooie message board on the web. I was the worst/most aggressive/craziest poster there

The non-music board I post on nowadays is super chill and friendly.
The only thing approaching squabbles I see regularly are the shipper arguments where people disagree over which characters should hook up in movies/shows.

The TV show forum I belong to is crazy nitpicky over details, but the show leaves a lot to speculation so people get competitive. The language exchange community is the nicest by far. I lurk a few different music forums but the people there are generally a little younger and it's too stupid for me to comment. Hormonal bullshit.

ilikeplanets · 10-06-2016, 03:43 PM

Even on the pumpkins boards, netphoria is a lot less fan fictiony and personally involved in BC and company than other artist's fans. Thank god.

He didn't exactly torture her. He was probing her mind and she managed to turn the tables on him, It was almost mind sex.

Also, yeah it's hawt.

redbreegull · 10-06-2016, 04:23 PM

uhh sex should never involve non-consensual penetration of someone's brain

redbreegull · 10-06-2016, 04:24 PM

also this dude killed his dad like really. rey deserves better

redbreegull · 10-06-2016, 04:25 PM

actually I hope they let Rey be an independent person and don't feel the need to bring a man into her story to make it significant. I loved how Finn began as a patronizing protective male but instead of her accepting it and getting with him (which is the trope, a la Taming of the Shrew), Rey is just like uhhh no but we can be friends if you can deal with that.

LaBelle · 10-06-2016, 04:38 PM

He is portrayed more like a damaged and misguided character than straight up evil, she could be the one to bring him back to the light. That's actually kinda romantic.

I don't see a problem with giving her a love interest, she can still be strong and independent in a relationship.
