Yeah, tomorrow will be the hottest day this week (41 at least) - sorry to break it to you, hope this won't ruin your trip. Though that whole 'heatwave' thing everyone's talking about is a bit over-exaggerated, in my view; apart from tomorrow, the only other really hot day will apparently be Monday. And it wasn't really that awful today, if you avoided direct sunlight.

Having no air-con at home, I spent the day trying to spend as long as I could in various shops without buying much/anything. At least it gave me the chance to find Baphomet's "The Dead Shall Inherit" for $12 at the gloriously icy Missing Link (I have no idea how they can afford to keep it that cold, but I'm grateful).

41, holy cow. I will survive, but barely. You did the right thing by going from shop to shop, and it's good that Missing Link is nice and icy. I'm assuming it's from all the black metal in their store. :P I hope I can stop in there and have a peek around while I'm down.

Today I came across exactly similar prank as above on Enslaved's last.fm page.

I believe the person on the artwork is Metantoine :eek:

It's the same person again and again doing this same shit. He/She's getting reported, blocked but keeps coming back with the oh-so familiar username e.g. leatherdaddyz, something-with-gay, honeybadger related etc.

Making fun of Opeth is all well and good, but Enslaved? That's going too far. :annoyed:

I'm really curious to see Antoine's response to this.

I'm curious if it's someone from this forum. Ok guys, let's start digging through metantione's posting history I guess...

I went through his posting history and I've found two notable similarities between the leader of the Kroegerian brotherhood group/Soft furry kittens (both banned) on last.fm. MalignantThrone seems to be very frequent with the words 'gay' and 'fluffy kitties' just like the spammer on last.fm.

Yeah, I highly HIGHLY doubt it's MalignantThrone. Maybe it's just some idiot that got banned by Metantione that nobody remembers. Or the person in question has nothing to do with Metantione and just simply thought that it was funny to use Toine's picture.

Well, Enslaved and Opeth are two bands that 'toine really likes..... So there's that. Plus, if that isn't the man himself on that last picture, then I'll eat my shoes. Could've been worse though, as it's not in fact Metantoine the one giving head, at least.....

Maybe one of these guys, they love us so much, even Aeonblade calls all the mods faggots. Respectable fellows.

It's probably someone I banned, no big deal. He wrote that I was Grutle on this pic, so it's a compliment, right, right?

True, but Enslaved and Opeth have been criticized a lot for changing their sound. So it isn't suprising that these two bands are being used. But, I have to agree. Metantonie's picture being there makes it unlikely that the two aren't connected.

Also, off that very forum:
The Prophet Muhammad about MA wrote:
I can't remember a single post I've made on there that wasn't systematically deconstructed and picked apart sentence by sentence. Its a gigantic politically correct cesspool of whiny faggots and know-it-all cunts. Fuck that place.

I does anyone remember this guy? I think I saw his name while lurking this place.

On a related note, I didn't know MA was so hated by other boards. Sure, I was aware that this place had its fair share of detractors (hell, like pretty much every forum), but I only see shit talking on that forum.....

I never understood the hate. Ok, so your favorite band isn't allowed on MA. So what? It doesn't fucking change the quality of the music.. And about that quote: When you say something stupid, you get slandered for it. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Yeah, I imagine that the guy must've said quite a few ridiculous things and is now whining because this forum is 100% bullshit-proof. I just brought him up because his name rings a bell with me.....

Also this, a thousand times. People take MA rejections far too seriously.

Not certain that it's him, but I may know that Mohammad fellow personally, at least a little. I'm surprised he feels that way...

Edit: Huh, it is him...

People are touchy about their opinions and ideologies of what metal is and isn't. And they probably can't accept otherwise. I have had countless discussions with friends IRL as to why Band X isn't on the archives etc...some look at it as elitism and that's how it starts.

But truth to be told...all the haters would be hypocrites coz I'll be sure as hell that as much as they diss the archives, they use it from time to time.

That spammer not only violates pages of Opeth and Enslaved but also Kreator, Testament, Katatonia, Overkill etc. I think he's a bit mental. His tags are hilarious most notably 'homoerotic wet dream nostalgia metal' (I almost died laughing when I read that first time), 'kroegressive cock rock', 'soft furry kitten metal', 'hot melted cheese', 'grampa rock' and 'thrash queers'. Secondly, it's more than one person behind all these.

Most people really seem to have this idea that MA accepts bands into the archives based on how good they are, or how much Morrigan and Hellblazer personally like each band, like it's some qualitative stamp. They brand it as elitism but then because of this perception that metal = quality, it's really they themselves who are being so elitist in the first place. There's a difference between elitism and simply having lines between genres...I mean what, are we gonna start including 50s doo-wop bands because they eventually, a long way down the line, evolved into hard rock and metal bands? Silly.

Yeah, he just managed to make himself look like a huge dick.

Also it makes me laugh when people say things like "MA has been going downhill a lot lately" or whatever, when 99% of the time nothing significant has changed and the user in question has just gotten tired of things that were always there. I'm approaching my 9th year here and I can tell you a lot has changed in that time, but it's been mostly gradual and mostly due to the growing population, which has meant the forum has seen less and less influence from individual personalities. The days of UltraBoris's or even Nightgaunt's "celebrity status" are long gone.

I have visited a few of those other well known metal forums in the past and can safely say this is the only board where the majority of the user base (For the most part) can agree on what is metal. Best Rec system I have ever seen on any forum. It is amusing how some get so butthurt when something they deem metal is rejected and like children they go forth with their tirades. Fuck em.

Yeah, MA must easily be the best metal related forum, and probably one of the best about music in general. The organization, the management, the sheer amounts of knowledge available, etc. Sure, the place is quite strict, but a good part of the reason it's so good is because of the mods' no nonsense approach. Obviously, the place wouldn't be as tidy as it is with idiots running around unattended.

My Guild Wars 2 account has been disabled for real money transactions. Something I've never done in any game unless specifically allowed. All because earlier this autumn I lost my email to some cracker who apparently sold the account to gold sellers.

Change your passwords today. Seven characters may have been barely enough in 2001, but it was about halfway enough in 2012.

A certain group of NWN! forum members always, always bitch about us. No matter what we do, they will find a way to hate us for it. It's a total knee-jerk reaction with no thought put behind it, but it's inevitable. The funniest case was when we added the "RIP" section; they were bitching it was awful and disrespectful (nevermind it's the opposite, a tribute to the departed), and when someone pointed out a site called Voices from the Dark Side did the same thing, they were all "oh but their version is tasteful and respectful, M-A are faggots". The cognitive dissonance is just hilarious. :)

Wow, talking about damn double standards. So, if MA does anything, it's bad/wrong/stupid, but if any other site does the same, then it's okay? Shit, I guess we're all evil, elitist, retarded fuckers here! I'm convinced! Now, who wants to move to Metal Storm? I heard they are 25% more bland now.....

I always thought this NWNxMA fagstorm was nothing but a bunch of lame and childish nonsense. Who cares about what's happening on another board? Mind your own business and stop creating internet drama.

NWN isn't bad and I give credit to them for being one of the only metal forums out there that doesn't completely sucks.
