this taking sides thing cracks me up. i never felt that i needed to choose between the two places i frequent.

I haven't really seen ANY of that in this thread at all.

Agreed. I wasn't taking any sides - 5/8 just isn't my cup of tea. Ytse's comment is very well said.

I come here for structured semi-serious discussion. I go to 5/8 for unstructured, non-serious discussion (except the music section, they do pretty well keeping the spam to a minimum.)

I go to five eights for shits and giggles, when this place is slow.

yorost · « **Reply #78 on:** July 14, 2011, 09:49:37 AM »

Aren't we always slow?

lonestar · « **Reply #79 on:** July 14, 2011, 09:51:36 AM »

You want slow, go to Yesfans. I post there when I have insomnia.

You're no fun at all.

lonestar · « **Reply #81 on:** July 14, 2011, 10:01:20 AM »

Sorry, haven,t had my morning double strength black iced tea yet.

Or the Neal Morse forum.

I posted both here and at 5/8 for quite a while after the split, and still lurk there. 5/8 is barely-bridled insanity, joke racism, joke misogyny, joke homophobia, and pretty much anything goes. They love to ridicule DTF and call us boring. I finally stopped posting there after being told to shut the fuck up and go back to DTF. Yeah, I could "grow a thicker skin" but why bother? I'm too old to see the humor in every thread turning into a shitfest, and I don't look for new sources of annoyance.

...or any number of forums for bands and artists many of us like.

It was a joke about the pace of this place, which is pretty laid back compared to 5/8.

emin what are you talking about

Meh, I guess you were in a leave of absence or whatever.

Before the crash (probably the first one), we had a thread that was just post pictures to depict how each forum was. 5/8 was a wild fest full of... stuff. And DTF was more... calm. 5/8: Party DTF: Reunion. There were threads here and in 5/8. It was fun.

I think I might actually save this and use it.

TheMadgician · « **Reply #87 on:** July 14, 2011, 12:23:09 PM »

I used to go to a forum that was probably about as uncontrolled as five eight. I enjoy that kind of humor. That's my kind of humor. That's how my friends and I interact in person. But somehow, I can never really get into forums like that, and just end up lurking.

Adami · « **Reply #88 on:** July 14, 2011, 12:25:53 PM »

I used to post at 5/8 until like 07? Or something.

I realized their whole "be a jerk till it's funny" attitude as seeping into my normal life and I really didn't like how I acted. So I left the forum and have been better off since.

That's pretty much why I dislike that forum. Too many people there just seem like such jerks at all times. It's not my kind of forum, as I usually find myself a more polite, kind person. Or maybe I just think too much of myself.

The one on 5/8 that gets me is the dogs that are jumping into the pool, and the pic they had for 5/8. Lemme see if I can find it.

we can probably lock this thread now, they've got their forum back, the "crisis" is over.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #92 on:** July 14, 2011, 06:39:13 PM »

A new poster on DTF:

[imagine a dog jumping, like the one in the next pic]

A new poster on 5/8:

That made me laugh more than it should have.

Scary Ed Rattlehead is the man who made that, and he is the man

Good call.

Thanks to most people for being welcoming to our 5/8 pals in their time of need. But really guys, get rid of Thal and don't let him back - you've got a good thing going over there apart from the ridiculous drama!
