No problem. I am now also a closet WWE fan because I feel like there is no point in openly admitting that I enjoy something that I know will let me down so much by sheer retardedness.
I won't call you a Nazi but I will compare you to that Austrian guy "FRITZ"

+1 Rovert hasnt posted here in an age. Very Quiet as a result imo... he does be posting in the MMA forum mayb wrestling is dead to him!
I still catch him occasionally on the Rock & Metal forum too, fact of the matter was, and i mean this in no disrespect to the current moderating team, but when they first came in, they were very ban happy, some justified, others not so justified (depending on your point of view). One can only be banned for silly reasons, or delayed reasons too many times before they tire of it and no longer bother, in some respects thats what happened to myself, and i also believe rovert may have fallen into that category.
Hell, i'll even admit that i purposely got myself banned the last couple of times just to prove a point, that if a forum bans their regular posters for stupid reasons, the forum will go to sh*t. Myself and rovert were banned around the same space of time and that's exactly what happened. That's not me blowing my own trumpet, the facts spoke (and still do speak) for themselves.
That said, the current product is a bore to watch, I don't even watch regular TV anymore, but i still keep up via the PPVs just so that i'm not totally out of the loop.
If you don't hear from me after this post, then i've probably been banned for a period of 3-6 months for "a disrespectful post" or something equally as daft (thanks Vince!).0 -

My post wasn't intended to stir it, or to debate the moderation (for what it's worth, personally i think it's gotten a lot better since the total heavy handed approach has been toned down, make of that what you will). It was merely to explain, from the point of view of someone who once posted here 100 times in 24 hours (Survivor Series night i think), to going to about zero posts in about three months. That was all.
It was on topic, and it was merely for comparison, and nothing else.
Fair enough
Anyway, back off-topic (now there's a sentence I'm not used to saying), you ever hear of a band called Idlewild by any chance?0 -

Why?
Hahaha, just saw a few of your posts in the music forums and thought they were a band you might be into if you hadn't already heard of them, thought I'd ask since not a lot of people here seem to know them.
Aye, both class albums, When I Argue was the song that got me into them, heard that song in a mates house and went out the next day and bought those and Captain all in one go
I tend to put The Remote Part away for a couple of months at a time and then listen to it non-stop for about a week, great cd.0 -

I had planned to pre-order their upcoming one, but funds ran dry so I had to give it a miss, will definitely go when they promote the album though, they're always coming over.I tend to put The Remote Part away for a couple of months at a time and then listen to it non-stop for about a week, great cd.
Yeah, I love Tell Me Ten Words, I Am What I Am Not and Live In A Hiding Place, the last one i tend to break out the bass and play along. Awesome bassline 0 -

Yeah they'll definitely be over to do a gig for it, their gigs here always sell out, and deservedly fecking so, great live band
Yeah, Modern Way of Letting Go is fantastic, just love the intro to that song0 -

Definitely check them out next time they're over, I've seen them a few times and they've been excellent every single time
I definitely plan toCool. I've never listened to the podcasts (I think they were while I was still a lurker here and too afraid to post actually :P) it's a shame they're not going anymore though, sounds like they were really good for the forum from what I've seen here
Heh, they were a lot of fun to do for both of us, but it became problematic towards the end (and for all intents and purposes, the beginning too), I'd ****ed myself up pretty bad when we started them, to the point where i wasn't really all that interested in doing it at all, so we laid it off for a few months, then at the end, Minto was swamped with college work so getting us both online at the same time to dedicate an hour or so was almost impossible.
Adding to that, the fact that neither of us were interested in either promotion anymore, and people were getting bored of us putting down the product every couple of weeks because we had nothing constructive or positive to say at the time (and to their credit, nobody wants to listen to constant bitching every couple of weeks for an hour a session), we packed it in.
But the few we did in the middle (we did about 10 or 12 of them between 2007 and 2008) were f*ckloads of fun, especially the SVR game (which I won! :P) where the loser got banned from PW, thanks again to Fozzy for the help with that one. That was definitely one of the most memorable podcasts, when I wasn't appauling people with my comments about Bret, Owen and Eddie, and wait for it... CRIPPLETAKER! 0 -

Sounds interesting man, I reckon we should get them back off the ground!
Interesting idea, how about a pw forum and nocturnal forum podcast crossover, both have done their own podasts and there is a lot of crossover between the two forums, and I reckon I could sort the whole thing out. You up for it? We could throw in an inter-forum beers actually for the meet-up, hmmmmmm0 -

Who'd present them though, i'd give it another shot if there's another angle going (crossover with noct), because i think interest was somewhat dwindling prior to us stopping the last one. I also don't think Minto has any interest in wrestling anymore period. I catch him occasionally on MSN.
Weird as it would be to do a podcast without the guy, i'm always up for something different. We could do a pre-wrestlemania one, or a series of them looking back on 25 years of them, highlights, lowlights amongst other things.
One thing that did piss me off about the last podcast thread, was when it was deleted i think it impacted about -350 to my postcount

Ask and you shall receive, and now, something i thought i'd never say, and i know i'm part of the cause of this, so i'll include myself in this.
Back off topic folks!0
