    Of course not. Critics, doubts and tough words are the prove that you're a real fan. All bitching should be inherently included in our own posts, and not mashed in one topic. There's no point on this, it's stupid.

    I agree with Gerard and Sergio, if the band do something good you'll have a legion of people posting how overjoyed they are etc.

    But when they stuff up are we expected to all just shut up and just be a bunch of yes men?


  3. As bad as that sounds, it's actually true.

    Sure, there were senseless posts before, but they are beginning to become overwhelming.





    I'm getting sick of there being no line between a conversation and CAPS LOCK.
  4. 2 legs of a tour and then a 9 month break, and maybe...just maybe if you're lucky an album that abandons its experimentalism for 'radio tunes'.

    Can't blame grammatical errors on the ethos of a whole forum
  6. Honestly I only come to this site now for bootlegs as well as the latest U2 news, because it seems to get here faster than it does to U2.com. I come here to read a few on-going threads as well, but I can't stand topics like "you're dream setlist" and all that. To be honest, no one reads other people's posts, people just post a list of songs over and over...You go into that thread, and all you see is a 1000 lists. I also can't stand topics like "what are you listening to right now?". Seems like all those topics are just a chance for people to get their post counts up. Kinda lame...What happened to the "active threads" all being about something worthwhile to talk about?

    True, but there are still some interesting threads around here. I also don't like the chat topic and all that but then again, what does post count say? Nothing.
  8. ...

    (I know this is a stupid post and I shouldn't have made it, but I really feel ashamed by the fact I've posted over 13 000 times and all of it was useless crap)

    And there's nothing wrong with criticising the band, we'd be stupid if we thought everything they do is perfect.
  9. Aside from the fact that my love life sucks, and I'd like to have a job to hold me over till I join the military in the spring, I really dont have much to bitch about.
  10. There is nothing with bitching in general. Just not too much. Great thread to bitch about homework, girls, boys, etc

    Uhm, yeah, every teacher thinks it's only their subject we learn. And I'm frustrated by the fact that my peers are unbelievably shallow.
