Bux, although you make some valid points, I don't think you're doing your case much good by constantly criticising the mentality of the members of this site. The Wasteland is a discussion forum, and all the most successful threads on there involve a high level of debate and interaction between members. By posting up material that isn't likely to provoke discussion you'll probably find that the vast majority of users will either ignore it or view without comment. There is always the risk, though (and this has been the case for as long as I can remember) that people will make their views on the thread known, as is their right, and more often than not these comments will be negative.
This site's main raison d'etre is providing information and a forum for discussion and debate about Aberdeen's music scene. That's why the majority of members are here. Sure, people will occasionally want to chat about something else, which is why the Wasteland exists. There are thousands of other sites on the net that cater for joke threads and funny stories far, far better than we do. People tend to go to them if they're looking for that kind of material. To post such stuff on a discussion forum seems a bit pointless in this day and age.
