He has a different name now and he's still posting. Maybe he's using the same email address so the system is combining both accounts for the stats?

or, he had such a massive post count - 17k! - that averaged out even to this day, it's still an impressive number.  he was one of the early joiners, so he got a head-start.

The forum vs Catholic University feud, where Vansmack was doing some detective work on who was posting.



Totally forgot about that.

It was Murder City Devils where the band walked off the stage...  I managed to find this description of it. 

"At one memorable concert, 25 minutes into the first set, the security staff at the 9:30 club in Washington, D.C., ejected a concert-goer, saying later that the man had thrown a bottle. The Murder City Devils stopped the concert and refused to play again "until our friend is let back in," according to Joe Heim of the Washington Post. Management refused, and so, after apologizing to the rest of the 300-plus crowd, the band packed up their instruments and left. Moody explained to Heim afterwards, "the guy was mellow. He wasn?t doing anything and they should have let him stay."

im guessing I was gone for this? Details?

The exact details are a bit fuzzy, not exactly sure what sparked it but it was over abortion.  And that smackie ended up finding some pretty specific poster info.

Other Epic Threads

The kid who was ejected from a Dream Theater show for dropping a cup with ice in it from the balcony into a trashcan near the soundboard.  Who later created another profile and started posting as his dad.

The show where some band refused to play the rest of their set, because someone was ejected for "rolling" a bottle on stage and wasn't allowed back in. Which became even more epic because the band didn't get paid for not playing all of  their contractually obligated set length.  I believe the thread was along "Tonight the heart of kids was destroyed".  Murder City Devils possibly?

The meltdown when The Walkmen had sound issues at the start of their set, even Twangirl had to weigh in on that one.

The reaction to the less than positive Post review of the first Arcade Fire show.

The forum vs DCist feud, started over them posting presale codes on their blog.

The forum vs Catholic University feud, where Vansmack was doing some detective work on who was posting.



Interesting.  Sad that I missed out on all the fun threads.  On the Arcade Fire thing: who reads show reviews? I don't think there could be possibly anything more boring.  As Arcade Fire is the greatest live band in the world (well after Muse) hopefully the author has been fired by now.

Smacky is pro or anti-abortion? Not that it matters, I guess. I have recently become anti-abortion after realizing that we need more people to support me when I reach social security age.
