Default The amount of people on this board

There must have been over 2000 active members here around the time Zwan started. Now we have 5. It's pretty depressing this board even exists, (not that is shouldn't).

What can ya say? The music sucks now. If the music excited people there would be interest. But Corgan officially dragged the band through the mud to the point where people just don't give a shit anymore.

Only the die-hards frequent this place, and even they think the music sucks.

Don't forget Hanson. He would be the vocalist.

Yea buddy. When you're feeling down about your own life it's always nice to come and rant about how your past favorite band sucks ass now. It's often an accurate metaphor to explain our own lives... It's like: "man my life fucking sucks... even my favorite band released fucking teagarden and oceania"

I started listening in 2012. They've never not sucked when I was aware of their presence.

Meh.. The last 3 Pearl Jam albums haven't been anything to write home about..But they all still had some great songs... Atleast they kept their integrity as a band though... They didn't desperately resort to hiring kids from a fast food restaurant to play in the band... When they needed a drummer they hired Matt Cameron and Jack Irons

Well... You're lucky you had all of that music to discover to be excited about... For us older fans, we've already enjoyed all of that old music immensely and were hoping for some quality new music... and all we got were songs like Astral Planes and one diamond one heart.

Pearl Jam's my #2 - has kept me afloat while SP has started to suck, dwindle and fade. Their new stuff isn't horrible, but Lightning Bolt sure does beat the hell out of Oceania.

Ultimately, though - mid-90's SP vs PJ - no contest. Pumpkins just mean more to me, which is evidenced by the fact that I still poke around here.

It has nothing to do with the music It's the fact that the board is broken and full of malware ads for going on a decade now.

"Hello ping-ping it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?"



I don't think it's the malware; ABP's taken care of that. I think forums are suffering at large; replaced by facebook groups, tumblrs, other kinds of communities. It's like when email listservs got replaced by bulletin boards. I come here when Reddit or Facebook groups or Twitter get boring, which isn't often. And then I only post about James Iha, and no one gives any fucks about James Iha. Oh well!

The O-board is doing fine. This place died long before other forums. Just the people hanging out in General Chat should have been enough to keep the place going. People got sick of the Malware and the gun to their head of "well if you don't want malware pay me money." Andrew killed this place.

It seemed like it was doing well last time I was there. Granted that was at least 6 months ago and they were in the middle of giant Monte vs. Bystarlight shit fest, but it was still far from the echoing empty sadness that this place has become.
