where people can tell us everytime someone in the universe dies in the confines of a forum, and not every second thread in the Wasteland.

What's wrong with those posts being put in the Wasteland?

These forums are essentially just about the music, the wasteland is just a place for the "other stuff" like announcements of the death of famous people. No?

Yes, but they are constant. I dont want to hear about people dying, three times a day.

then don't read them.

they're harmless enough and only posted when someone of interest to the person who creates the thread died. If the person was important enough to warrant interest to them then it seems reasonable that others would be interested.


When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? ... The New Kids! "Hi we're the New Kids and we're so good and clean-cut..." "We're so clean cut!" Seig Heil! Heil! Heil! A good clean country... Heil! Heil! Heil! Fuck that! I want my rock stars dead! I want them to fucking play with one hand and put a gun in their other fucking hand and go "I hope you enjoy the show!" *Bang!* Yes! Yes! Play from your fucking heart!

I think this would be a good idea, either that or there should be a proper clause in the websites rules about naming 'Death threads' so that we can definately avoid them.

Easier said than done, why not make a rule stating "threads about the death of as person must have a title starting 'Death Announcement'" or something?
