[ggw]

"...indie snob oneupmanship and bickering about ... well, everything ... "
 
 "Plenty of people post nonsense on the board (almost exclusively, really)..."

Maybe they didn't seen Econo's alien holding a pot leave?

[vansmack]

Which part is the disparaging part?

[kosmo vinyl]

as if devotees of indie rock have a lock on snobbery and oneupmenship...

My experience as the de facto leader of HFStival.com allows me particular insight into this situation.
 
 (1) Unless I am gravely mistaken, J-Money is an African-American girl, now in her early-to-mid 20's, who spent the better part of 10,000 posts on HFStival.com posting god-damn Taking Back Sunday lyrics back and forth with this other girl named Sarah. She was generally regarded one of the stupidest members in the history of a very, very stupid message board, and the fact the Washington Post is citing them as an authority is pretty LOL-worthy.
 
 (2) Whenever a messageboard or news outlet steals a "story" from your messageboard, the proper response IS ALWAYS flooding them into oblivion. As such, I expect there to be some really nasty things posted in the comments section of the WPost's "story" when I get back. If you all need assistance coordinating such an attack, my PM box is always empty.

They gave the board full credit, so I wouldn't call it stealing.

Well, you have a point there, good sir, however they were real snots about it, so flood them anyway. On HFStival.com we learned every problem could be solved by flooding another messageboard, hacking someone's email, or deleting someone's account.

eh let them be snots... it's a classic case of pot meet kettle here...  besides i'm will to bet the person posting that comment may be engaging in some of that indie rock snobbery here...

Shut up, DeathFromAbove. If we wanted to hear from the kiddie table, we would've put out pudding.
 
 I swear, you are one more awful post away from me deleting your myspace page.

[lagas]

Maybe they want the web traffic and the comments and this whole "Bob Dylan" leak from the board was just the bait...

[Jaguar]

They called us loons.    :roll:  
 
 Seems to me that Mr.s J. Freedom du Lac and/or David Malitz have been lurking around this forum for years. Seasoned forumites will understand. You've been outed boys! What are your screen names? Better yet, your member numbers?
 
 Have a feeling that they are just a bit miffed that the 9:30 forum scooped them on the VFest. That's all. Music critics are always snobs. Goes with the territory. Just chalk it up to left handed promotions; as in, bad talk is better than no talk at all. Really, it didn't sound all that bad to me. Maybe it was just the tone that I read the piece in. Go with it. No attacks needed.

You all wouldn't know how to run a community if it fell in your lap.

If you're community were run so well, why do you spend so much time over here?

 If you must relive your cyber attack experiences, go round up some old HFStival teenies and go to it. We've got bigger and better things on the 9:30 horizons. Trust me, what was written will all only work to everyone's advantage. Don't prove the negative comments right by resorting to 14 year old boy angst rebellion, even if it's all in good fun.
