On the very last day this site is in existence, at the very last minute, the last person logged on here will add something to this thread and it will all come around full circle and make perfect sense....

LOL! I didn't have the "Crying" icon in my original post, dammit! !

Sheesh, what a tardish thing to do!  :hi5:
I laughed myself silly on the "Start a thread and mark it (NO TARDS!)." bit... talk about funny! I can just see the line of threads with "NO TARDS" on the title! !!

"I don't feel TARDY!" Gee, David Lee Roth was a Tard in Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher"

Frankly, it is AWFULLY hard to appreciate ANYTHING being written in these things when they veer far off course....it's like trying to listen to 5 people talking at you at the same time in a sense...

Every time I post anything karaoke related I get called a liar, I don't know what I'm talking about.   People tell me if I don't have a web site I can't be doing well.   Have to prove every move, every job.    My suggestions are laughed at.   Made fun of, rediculed.     I'll never know anything about karaoke............    


So let's talk about sex or mental illness or oil prices, girls and guitars, cars, movies, bloggers, spammers.   I'm game.  :whistle:

^This makes sense to me and I think it is a good idea. I do enjoy a light hearted joke
in a karaoke thread as long as it stays on topic.  It lightens up the read.

In most forums you have a lounge, cafe etc... no matter what the main purpose of the site is. Here it appears to be called the dicsussion forum. I think the problem lies with -we have a forum for singers, tech advice, KJs, but not for general karaoke discussion.
I check out the KJ forum on here and no one posts there. If I need an answer I have to post in the tech forum or discussion area because thats where the people are. I'm wondering if the KJ forum is the place for what maybe the older members are looking for.

Bigdog,  That was the "otherside" that some just don't or can't see.  It goes pretty much like this..

If I like a topic, and I feel like chatting about it, it's great material, and worth chatting about.

but

If I don't like you, or your chatter, the subject matter is "inane" and doesn't belong here.

OR

If girls are chatting with me.  Than this is a great room, and everybody is great.

but

If girls are chatting with someone else, and I'm not getting attention, the room sucks and really should get back on topic because THAN there's too much "tardistry"

It's all THAT subjective, and that babyish.

Well,  I learned early on, that if I want to control content, and determine how a room will be run,  It better by *MY* room.  Reason being,  why the heck would I want to control, or compete in a Karaoke room ?   If I want to discuss Karaoke I have that option ANYTIME.  Many will take part, however if I want to have fun, I have that option as well.  

You did bring up a point that's well understood Bigdog "Discussing Karaoke" doesn't insure 80% of the room won't quit within a day because of others attitudes, especially if there are only 5 members in a room others left because it's "the same old repetitive Karaoke questions and chat, nothing EVER changes". People complain about THAT too, funny enough, it's usually those that want to discuss Karaoke that do have such complaints. Some just aren't happy unless they have a complaint too. This was my point early on.  I post alot because I like it in here.  As a result some will think I'm OK,  many others will hate me.  Thing is,  that's life.  I don't care.  I don't try to people please, compromise ?  Yes, I will always try to compromise, but I'm not bending over even halfway backwards in hopes certain that don't like me now, will turn-around.  I pay for MY fun here on the internet, when I joined it wasn't important 32% of a room likes me in a Karaoke setting,  quite honestly, this is selfish. It's about me !!  Sharing what I can too, but for me,  getting along and having fun is what matters.  Read the description some of you.... It's written  "Having fun is a requirement". Now while I do care what others think, I only care about what SOME others think.  I've made this clear. Nothing is ever all or none.




I agree with this Tim,  but HOW the heck in an internet room with ages 8-90 posting, and given this type volume (which likely makes the site owners happy, they WANT MORE INTEREST, and state "fun is what's important") can anyone instill "internet etiquette" ?  You can't.  You folks are lucky the tech room hasn't gone totally down the toilet yet when you think about it, given the fact this site is turned up for visibility to begin with, It's not as though the whole site is infested with some tertiary-tardiated syndrome.  How is it possible to have a large membership base in an international "general discussion area", with a goal for as many that want to join to join, and have alot of fun as well discussing almost anything including their lives, perhaps locations, differences in areas of culture, while limiting it to, "What's a drop tray karaoke player" type chatter ?

If such a change is to be made, running it by administration seems doable, but don't blame the members who are enjoying what they've been offered to take advantage of, and encouraged to do-so. That shows absolutely NO etiquette on your part either. Comments such as "Another crappy trash thread" aint exactly my idea of etiquette either Tim.. It goes BOTH ways.. If newbies jump into a context of "Chat about just about anything, and have fun", enter the room when others are doing just that, tearing them another $%# for doing what they feel comfortable doing is WRONG of you older members; Complain to management or administration, don't bash the people that want to have fun, and are taking advantage of what they've been offered.  It's wrong to blame the members for taking the site up on such an offer. Yet this doesn't mean I DON'T understand your frustration, I do understand it !
You can't have it both ways here.  Huge membership in a "talk about anything" room IS going to do just that, and it's NOT the "newbies" faults. Some here are teenagers, school kids,  others of us never progressed much beyond that. Some are 70 years old.  Some are more sociable and talk about many things, others just talk about tech stuff,  there are ALL types here now.  Yeah, you can be VERY certain not all are going to think all chat is "cool" at any given time.  You have a widespread sampling of folks here.

Even the comments one gets on SS are sometimes inane....I've seen people commenting that relate how their Aunt Tillie met Uncle Gus the year the song came out and nothing more, etc., and worse yet, people who go on about how they once did this song and what they did on it, or plan to, and so on (i.e, mostly reflecting the comment back on themselves) and it leaves you wondering if they even listened to you sing in the first place. I like the idea of "addressing the issue at hand"....

Now THOSE drive me crazy  :(   That's no understatement.  I couldn't hang there !






Of course along this line of thought.  why would people expect a general chatroom linked with such a site to be any more conservative ?

But Steven, in the forums, you "really ace it" and are "whooo hooo, awesome dude"!

I know,  this is what scares me.  I'm not worthy !  Fear of success doncha know !


Plus,   What can I tell myself to quel the pain when after my 10++++, I only receive a 10++ ?   How will I absorb the fall ?

You know, getting back to that heated controversy, maybe it would be best for all concerned if they got rid of the whole current rating system on SS and replaced it with the standard issue "Poor, fair, good, very good, excellent".  It is especially those last two attributes up there now, "Near Perfection" (which I can kind of live with) but especially "Perfect" which drive me up the wall.  To me, anything considered "perfect" is a very subjective suggestion...and really, to be honest, I think in the average life time, how many times have you honestly heard something that was truly, without question, unhesitatingly "perfect"?

Out've curiosity,  have any of you checked the archives to see if things tend to get off the beaten path whenever there is this much posting activity ?   Seems the room has been this way for a LONG time, not just a few months,  but even 1 1/2 years ago, it was this way.   As to whether or not this is what the purpose of the "chat room" was supposed to be,  I don't know.  Perhaps that was the intent of having a chatroom. Of course the chatroom jumps around so much, I get vertigo  LOL .
I wonder if administration ever had a concept in mind, when they formed the general discussion room ?  Was it to be "just about anything Karaoke related" ?  This might be a good question to ask.  OR,  just as it says  "talk about almost anything" ?  I don't know.

If chat ever takes a turn towards religion, politics, or anything potentially that confrontational, THEN the site's going to be in trouble ..  Those topics can kill just about anything nice...

I am pleased to announce that just last night I made a highly controversial comment regarding the Bible and lived to talk about it! I was utterly abashed this morning when I checked that thread and found no death threats or imprecations of my intelligence or moral fiber being made.  I was dumbfounded!

I saw that remark Michael.  I know what you're getting at.  Nobody likes to be preached at.  The ironic thing is that we're all in favor of free speech around here, but some examples of free speech seem to be more welcome than others.  Maybe that person had a right to say what they wanted without criticism or a snappy comeback?  Just my own observation.

Actually I'm more of an agnostic if anything at this point -- the votes are still coming in.  

I'd say I acted without thinking too deeply Odie, but I suppose it was something ingrained in me from an early age and that is one does not speak about religion or politics in a group setting unless one desires some opposite viewpoint at some junction.  I could have easily had made my comment without any prompting of any sort but again, going back to my upbringing, you just can't bring up those two topics without inciting some kind of opposite view.  I may not have any formal religious affiliation, but I believe in a certain "higher power" as they say but I don't think I need to lay them on other people--frankly, I don't think they would give a rat's behind about what cues I think people should take from my beliefs in all things exististential.  In reality, I'm not all that big on either politics, religion (and sports for that matter--that's just a preference) and I think the reason is both of these topics always lead to argumentations that never end.  Okay, that's my editorial for the day.  PS: I'm planning on doing your song any day now!
