You guys seen this?

2 weeks!

Thoughts?

[blueczarina]

holy crap they are actually doing it. just yesterday i bet money they wouldn’t.

well, hopefully it will be a good place like tp.net instead of going Netphoria.

lol, me 2

Well anyway looking forward to it.

[blueczarina]

i thinks its funny that we both said it wouldn’t happen yesterday.

[amnesia]

Yes we did, and we were serious about it. but hey, days of the miracles aint over yet it seems.

[blueczarina]

indeed

i wonder else is in store over there? they took the little coming soon bit down it looks like.

[amnesia]

Hopefully they will put up the bootie archives again.

[blueczarina]

i hope so too and hopefully it will be a better one. what i really want though is Zeitgeist demos! they should post that.

[amnesia]

Zeitgeist demos, oh yeah!!! That would be so fucking awesome.

[blueczarina]

it would fucking be awesome!

Billy probably thinks nobody cares though.

[amnesia]

Yeah He dosent give a fuck anyways.

[blueczarina]

too true

[Marcella]

Oh, I’m excited. I have the feeling there’s going to be a lot of polemic and drama in that forum, and that will only make it more amusing.

[blueczarina]

oh there will be crap alright

[manillascissor]

i have a feeling i won’t be going there much, if ever.

[jawn till dusk]

I’m dreading it,to be honest.

Whoa! Wasn’t thinking news like this would come.
I hope it will run smoothly
I know there will be some bad seeds, but hopefully they get ignored! Adding fuel to the fire doesn’t help the O-board.
I’ll be here and there, but here

[Anonymous]

this morning they had a really generic countdown on the board and now it’s all fancy..
Until groundhogs day…hell is not loose yet
I hope it runs smoothly
Funny though it’s been almost a year since we got it taken away from us.. sounds like we are children getting our toy taken away

[blueczarina]

very fancy

and what’s this

http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/pages/n … pfreakscom

[Anonymous]

Well this is rather
Awesome job you guys
we’re heading Pumpkinsstream..LOL

[Anonymous]

It’s either going to rawk big-time (hopefully), or die fast.

I very much doubt there’d be much inbetween… Love ’em or hate ’em, seems to be the non-greyscale of the current Fan base.

Going on some of the utter bullshit I’ve read on ‘other’ sites today, there appears to be people who intend to bring their forum crashing down.

Here and there are the two I’ll be sticking with in any case, so hopefully a pile of new people will show up and weedle out the nonsense.

It has great potential imho, I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops long-term.

[blueczarina]

i think its going to die fast to be honest and i think most people do on the other sites. my prediction is that within a few hours it will go to hell.

i plan on being there when it opens and watching it for the duration of my shift at work.

[last_rose_of_summer]

as many people there that like to pointlessly argue, i kinda think it might die fast.
but, we’ll just have to wait and see. anywho, i will still come here, if you guys do too

[blueczarina]

i will still come here, if you guys do too [/quote:25foxx2j]

of course as long as this place continues to kick ass which i’m sure it will!

[Marcella]

I wouldn’t replace SPFreaks for the O-Board. Never! Few forums have this sort of intimacy.

[Pipoka]

Yeah. Here I feel at home

[amnesia]

SPfreaks is our home and we are like brothers and sisters.

[Anonymous]

yes, this place is the best! I wonder if Billy thinks it’s pretty too?

[blueczarina]

it does feel like home and we have a real good group here. i don’t know of another forum like this where people can feel this comfortable interacting with one another and where there is no crap whatsoever pretty much.

and yes, i wonder if Billy sees us?

[some pumpkins]

this is the first forum i have ever joined and it will probably be the only one i ever will. there is something special about this place.

[Arthur]

SPfreaks is our home and we are like brothers and sisters. [/quote:3hkgr8da]
Funny you say that. I always felt more like your daddy. Since you recently started asking for pocketmoney, even sugar-daddy.

Seriously, I would check it out every now and then also, but when it turns out to be as slow as thepumpkins.net or as boring as netphoria, I will not go back, unless there is a really hot topic going on.

[blueczarina]

i think of you more like forum Grandpa to be honest

[Arthur]

blueczarina!

I thought it was safe to add something to my text above since you were not online it looked, but you seem to be around 24/24!

[blueczarina]

i know! i’m bored and i don’t sleep. plus, i dink around on the sites while i do my homework.

[amnesia]

i think of you more like forum Grandpa to be honest [/quote:3vsna633]

Take that gramps. Highfives Blue

[Anonymous]

this is just too much fun over here
I don’t think I would crack up laughing this much on SP.com

[Anonymous]

well for the grand ol grandpa comment blue
wouldn’t Billy be like grandpa too?

[blueczarina]

and it is too funny here its tough when i’m at work sometimes because i’ve almost burst out laughing in triage before. in fact i’ve had to leave because i couldn’t stop smirking.

[Pipoka]

well for the grand ol grandpa comment blue

Oh please….
What an HORRIBLE image on my head…

[Tion]

but, we’ll just have to wait and see. anywho, i will still come here, if you guys do too [/quote:2m3wfzzj]

me too, rose

[Marcella]

If Arthur is the grandpa I must be the great great great grandchild or something…

[Anonymous]

I’m not suggesting anything here, although is Arthur actually proven to be a Human Being?

He doesn’t sleep, from what I can gather, so curiosity naturally started…

[blueczarina]

[Anonymous]

killer picture Dazey…

[Superlordspamulon]

You guys.

http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/board/

Hey you guys.

[blueczarina]

its pretty but its too sprawling. i will probably poke around there, but i prefer the intimacy of here. my main forums will remain SPfreaks and tp.net.

[amnesia]

Im going to check it out, but nothing beats spfreaks.

[Superlordspamulon]

It doesn’t actually work for me.

[manillascissor]

i checked it out. it’s pretty cool. lots of action, lots of mods.

one of which is pipoka!

[amnesia]

Surprise, probo bugged as fuck.

[Anonymous]

It’s busy..I’m glad I don’t work tomorrow. I am a fan of this one
But I’ll float there too…and be lost amongst the rest of us..LOL..it’s so big

[blueczarina]

i checked it out. it’s pretty cool. lots of action, lots of mods.

i saw that and PM’d Pip and i’m sure it probably does have a few glitches- anyone remember the launch of the new sp.com

[Im a Cult Hero]

I just started posting around on there, going by the name \"Black_Milk\"

[blueczarina]

i thought that was you from vampires. i will look you up on sp.com and add you.

[Im a Cult Hero]

lol, I totally forgot about that app, I must have billions in blood by now

[blueczarina]

me too i never check my myspace anymore

[Pipoka]

I didn’t said anything before because i didn’t know if it was suposed to stay private

but,

this will be my \"home\"

[Anonymous]

that’s because this place is more homey feeling
brings the SPfreaks closer

[blueczarina]

this better be your home Pip! we still expect you to visit us everyday even if you have to blow off that bigger forum ’cause we kick more ass

[Arthur]

Hiha! Congrats Pipoka!

[Arthur]

Hehehe, funny! I just gave it a quick look, and in just 1 day over 1,100 members and a few thousand posts already!

Go Pumpkins go!

On a sidenote, of course this place will be around also for us… No doubt! The O-Board is the big Concert Arena, we SPfreaks are the cozy family bar with the intimate concerts, and we like to go to both sometimes… That’s how I feel about it.

Hiha once more!

[Pipoka]

Thanks guys!
I will be here everyday

Well but you have no idea how it is the feeling of pressing the \"New Posts Button\" and have a million new posts in a million topics ! Sometimes, multiple replies to something at the same time…

But I’m loving the experience to actually meet new fans from other countries…

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

it is way to confusing over there, i am so not used to it, i like it better over here. but i will venture there sometimes.

[Arthur]

The first forum trolls have been spotted already… I also see some threads in the unwanted Netphoria style… boy oh boy… let’s hope they keep their heads together over there, and keep on moderating patiently…

yes, we are doing our best

[Im a Cult Hero]

I’m already quite addicted to it, so far it seems all very friendly.
It moves very fast though, and I can imagine it getting a lot faster over the coming weeks.

[Marcella]

I am too lazy to post XD. So many action, so many people.

it does move fast- too fast to keep up. it just seems a little chaotic to me. XD i will post some over there maybe.

[jawn till dusk]

Seems friendly enough,but there’s too much to go through.

I’m going to keep here as my base camp!

[last_rose_of_summer]

i agree, it is too busy, fast and too big over there. i like our spfreaks a LOT better

i wonder if after the newness of it wears off a bit, will it calm down a little?

[Anonymous]

totally crazy busy over there. I hope it does off. not to be mean to Billy, but it feels so impersonal in a way

[blueczarina]

it feels very impersonal. i just feel like you can’t really get to know who you are talking too.

[Anonymous]

yes exactly. I almost feel like well it’s clicky and the netphorians are definitely sticking to their crew (which is fine) and dumb threads they post. Some are just seriously pointless. I’m mostly n the SP forum and General creativity forum

[blueczarina]

i’m mostly here and thepumpkins.net

[Pipoka]

You have a "Ignore" feature!
You can use that to add users to your "Ignore List" and that user’s posts won’t apear for you

[last_rose_of_summer]

ignore could be a very useful feature indeed!

i saw some folks on there talking about finding billy’s house on google earth. how would they even know his address. that is very stalker-ish! some people have no respect.

[blueczarina]

that’s really creepy and disrespectful

and on another note- some of the threads over there have been very wow Billy vs Kurt, SP vs God <- WTF? board crushes, people who don’t like your posts, vampires, zombies, etc and etc.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

i know some of those people are so stupid, but i def like the ignore feature, i have already seen a few people who need that.

[blueczarina]

yeah, i might put a few people on that

[Anonymous]

a few
I think I will have to utilize that ignore button.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

i wanna put a spfreaks banner in my signature over there, how do i do that?

[Arthur]

Hehehe, cool idea!

You could maybe use this file? http://forum.spfreaks.com/data/site/site_logo.gif

It will (hopefully) show like this, but that is only on a darker/black background:

[amnesia]

We should all have it as banner, show the world we are proud freaks.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

let me see if i can get it on there, and i will let you know.

plus someone over there has reggaes avatar from here, i was really confused for a minute.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

it didn’t work. i will try to figure it out.

[mr.benway]

Hi…
here is a quick and dirty solution: font color is black and background is transparent

[Pipoka]

That’s a really cool idea!
since i have nataschas one already, i will make a spfreaks avatar to use

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

pip– how do i get it in my signature area?

[Tion]

a spfreaks signature would be very nice!!

[blueczarina]

good idea freaks! i have my profile updated

[Pipoka]

On your controls you have something like "My Signature" click there

Remember:

Max Size: 600 x 100 pixels

*No animated images*

[Im a Cult Hero]

Is there a way to have it so that the picture works as a link to spfreaks home page?
Or is that something you’d rather avoid?
I wont include anything linking to here on my sig until I hear back from the boss people

But the black font one is now on mine

Actually I don’t know.

I
tried to do that with my natascha artwork banner, but then i just add the link below the image.
You can ask PMM or I can ask for you

[blueczarina]

we have to represent

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

hells yeah we do, the black one is on mine too, thanks to czarina. she helped with the assist. (correct b-ball term right?)

me too..I’m guilty..LOl
the O-board is almost like that place without most of the evils
it’s just feels like high school over there. it’s ok to have fun and what not, but the immaturity level is insane

[Anonymous]

So today I noticed there was a certain thread topic of activities you do while listening to Pumpkins..anyways I posted on there and it wasn’t bad..i said \"living and I don’t get to listen to them at work. I want to know why my post deleted? It doesn’t seem like something that should have been deleted Pip? Any clues? This is not the first time I have seen this happen to me over there. Also the open letters to the band got deleted. I don’t rip on SP or Billy over there so why is this happening? it’s frustrating me.

[Pipoka]

Probably there were 2 same topics that were merged

[Arthur]

Hehehe, there is a member called \"telescopes\" on there with an alternative freaky siggie…

[Pipoka]

yeah, he’s from Brazil

[blueczarina]

i was wondering about that guy. for awhile he was using our SPfreaks sig. i actually started the roll call thread to see if it was a freaky i didn’t know the user name of over there.
