Default Something has ripped the soul out of the Aberdeen Music Forum

I used to love coming on here to read threads about race....politics....religion, read peoples views on local bands they thought just didn't come up to scratch...hear how an individual band member had become farrrrrr too big for his boots and how if you came from westhill or cults you didn't have the blues and were just spoiled wannabees....

Now the most exciting threads are about fucking jaffa cakes or someone linking to some metal pish on youtube......

Come on kids....get angry....get hormonal and fight for what you believe...

I agree completely - this place is becoming utterly totalitarian to the point where I have actually been banned for the smallest offences.

I dunno... it sometimes gets quite good. I rather liked the recent thread about the anti-military march.

And I think Maxi has less time on his hands these days.

I do love a Maxi post.

What you talking about, old man?
The jaffa cakes thread was quality.

but i do agree with the moderation rules, it has become too much of a dictatorship.

But you realise the rules have become stricter due to more of YOU (the regular members) complaining about thread content.

You have nobody but yourselves to blame.
