Thank You DTF
« on: September 19, 2011, 06:00:32 PM »
For being a true haven for every fan or bystander to explore the intricacies and developments in the world of DT. I really feel everyone here, no matter how many posts or experiences he or she may have had, is welcomed with open arms and is able to get answers to anything they ever may need. So thank you Bosk1, Nick, and other moderators whose names fail to present themselves in my mind at the moment for making this a place of true fandom and comfort that music and spirits like those of DT continue to make such a huge impact on our society.  :tup

Yes, I agree.  It's great to have a place to "hangout" with other equally passionate fans that know the DT songs and band history inside and out.  And I've met a bunch of you in person and made some great friends, all because of this place.  Thanks to the mods for keeping it a smooth-running operation and for making it feel like... home.  It's what I long for.   ;)

Yeah, although I "sometimes" push that envelope a little bit AND think maybe things are a little uneven at times on the moderating, I do appreciate all the mods hard work and trying their best to put their own feelings and opinions on the side and be good fair policemen and judges. not easy. It's nice to have a place where all of us funky fans can get together and agree to disagree... or not.

I have plenty of posts on this forum, and for the life of me I cannot remember where they've all been dumped into.  (That is to say I know servers are cleaned out, but I have no idea what threads I was responding to in order to get 'all' the posts I have - I don't remember any of it haha)  I don't know anyone here personally as much as I'd like to; but that's neither here nor there.

I, too, appreciate the ability to come here and simply read or post.  It's very fulfilling to be able to sit down and read discussion about a band we all love and adore - from their music to the lyrics to the rhythms to the solos to the individuals to the bootlegs to the concerts to the videos, and with interludes of personality, snark, comedy and sincerity.  I've been reading the forums for a long time and truly enjoy seeing people who know a great deal more than I do about the band I love more than all others.  It's humbling.  I've been trying to participate gradually more so as to add something to the community.  :)

Amen.  I don't agree with every policy and moderator decision, but the guys here do a consistent and fair job and I can't argue with the results.  Many thanks.

I like the mods here. Days like this have to be pure hell. I've been lurking this forum since the beginning of it.. Only people that are truely out of line and say things in poor taste get warned and banned. So yeah, I appreciate them too. I've watched this forum grow and grow over the years. It's fairly amazing to think that it started so slowly after the dt.net forums were shut down. Even with all the growth, though, I haven't seen a mod get out of line or do something indefensible this entire time. I could have missed something during one of my layoffs from lurking, but they have a damn good track record here.

This. I never get to discuss DT IRL except of ONE person who knows them. The rest of them are "Who the fuck are Dream Theater and why the fuck should I care about his drummer leaving?"... This is a great place to discuss... And even if I'm not actually into some policies of the forum, I overall think it's great ;)

Yes indeed,
I just joined myself, and its so nice to be able to communicate with people who love the same music,
And since my wife tells me at home what to do,
It is no problem to me that bosk and the other moderators have it their way here.

Guess this is as good a place as any to greet all of you. I'm long-time user of MP's forum, but in light of MP's departure from the band, I don't feel as open to discuss DT on that board anymore. I've been lurking here for that past 4-5 months to satisfy my craving to share DT discussion with other fans.  Conversation appears to be fun and diverse so I look forward to settling in here.

DTF is pretty decent. bosk1 does a good job.  Some of the mods could use a beating.  ;)

But other then that, not half bad.
