comments are down FOREVER???!!!

wtf? that is dumb. but maybe not. they should take out the user submited news then.

[Marcella]

I think it’s dumb if they did it only because of the drama; there’ll always be drama where comments can be posted.

[Anonymous]

yeah, but that’s what netphoria aka hatephoria is for…I just said that to them today over there…it a nightmare

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

what did they say back?

[Anonymous]

STFU-that’s what I got then I was told I called him out and said he was wrong-which none of that was the case
someone got all defensive like I was directly pointing it to him…lol

[Marcella]

Lool sounds like a wild place XD.

[Sven]

yes they are down and will stay down.
i totally support this decision which was taken after a lot of due consideration.
won’t and can’t go into details – but it’s a wise thing to I believe.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

yeah, it is probably for the best anyways.

[blueczarina]

thats so retarded. if they are going to do that they need to remove the user news and the ability to log in too. they might as well go all the well instead of being half-assed about it. after all it is no longer a user friendly site, now is it?

[Anonymous]

I heard a lady going by the name Veronnie scared them into it, also.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

well you can still coment on users pages and on the blog and pictures, so that is neat. plus there are so many other places for people to talk.

plus with all the fucking losers out there who want to act dumb on the sp.com site, it just makes the band look bad.

[blueczarina]

true, the site does make the band look bad- real bad- but so does this pettiness.

its all retarded. they do need to at least get rid of user news though. its pointless if nobody can comment back. plus, you can’t even click on the person who wrote it to even discuss things with them in PM or your comment box.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

i do think they should change that, you should be able to discuss it with people on thier own page. and be able to find people easier.

[Anonymous]

either that or start a new site and require id’s to get your membership…like a verification other than just typing it in. They have to send a copy of their Driver’s License or something. If you can’t trust SP with you license who can you trust?lol

I just PM’ed PMM about this, but thanks for the insight. I guess it was a drastic measure to ensure that SP.com doesn’t turn into Netphoria II.

i think it became Netphoria II awhile ago, we were just a bit snootier and we couldn’t photoshop snappy comesbacks.

[Anonymous]

yeah I was over on netphoria and it’s a bad bad place. Those people are just a88holes…negative all the time about the Pumpkins…it feels like a negative blanket on you when you are there…YUCK

[ClevelandPumpkins]

Heh, I can never lurk on Netphoria without my browser crashing within 2 minutes.

[ClevelandPumpkins]

I just got a PM back from PMM. Here’s the (tentative) scoop:

\"It was a conscious decision from upon high

Hopefully with the relaunch coming, comments will be revitalized… but probably only to be removed once again.\"

Did I miss something? I can post comments but not read them. Did enough people abuse the commenting privilege by flooding this website with negativity, or are we just experiencing technical difficulties?

Thanks!

Sooo…it appears a revitalization of sp.com is in the works as well as a likely return of commenting. By \"upon high\", maybe that means the order to remove comments (or at least put them in the Time-Out chair) came from the band or Billy himself?

People better learn to behave lest we go comment-less again!

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

i would say that is probably so, billy isn’t stupid, he can work a computer. people got to comfortable with thier hate over there. it is a band website, not netphoria. people should realize that. i do not think that taking out the comments was a rash or bad desicsion. i think it was long over due. to have comments you really need a moderator. and i am pretty sure that pmm is a busy person. they might want to try and get some mods if they are to bring back the comments. i for one nominate manilla, cause he is a mod extrodinare!!

[Anonymous]

I vote for me…lol…I have not thing else to do, besides be mom, but I
do that any way…
there were some haters there
Netphoria doesn’t work well for me lately it’s been crashing my browser…

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

yeah, the hate probably melted the site. god i hope so. but then the haters might converge on other places, oh no, arthur hide the address.

[Anonymous]

Yeah well the crazy negative people better not come over here….We can shut em down off this site…lol
I would love it if our site came back…I almost don’t want to even go on there, but I get emails and news…so…
I’m there still…cause I love SP

Small story (100% true): In College last March, a friend of mine was ordering Viagra online from Canada, using my PC/Terminal to "do the do." He later sold them in Pubs on the cheap, as they’re very expensive here (not that I’d know).

At the course’s end, not knowing any differently, I took my papers and things home.

In the Overall Impression section, I found: "John managed his computer time very productively, sometimes too productively."

Apparently, the urls and so on were all recorded and monitored. I was paranoid about that, so would never venture off the routine search sites, etc.

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

hah, dazey, you shouldn’t let people use your computer, good thing he wasn’t looking at porn. or they might have said some other things about your computer use.
