Shawn Ray- The baords are a neseccary Evil. It's like live TV. You're liable to have nutcases. Unfortunately, these kids try to overwhelm the board. It's a great place. I love to go there. 5 good posts, followed by 20 negative posts. These gusy have a lot of time on their hands. Some work all day long, and sit on the boards all day. It's a great place to hang out.
Romano: I think in a way, they're good. I wanna know where the anonymity thing came from. You shouldn't have screen names. And credibility- stories need to be substantiated. WHere else can a 13-year old punk with acne call them out? I read disingenious remarks about me
Bob: A lot of these people live on fantasy island. They think we take this stuff seriously. Pro BBers could care less. When some fool named "BigGunzz" is dissing you, it means nothing. It's fashionable to bash BBing. I never understood what 95% of these ppl are doing on the boards. I've never seen a guy with a thong onstage, these kids make stuff up- why are you here?
Dan- It's really a blown opportunity for these kids to learn something. You used to have to wait 3-4 months to hear this stuff. Now you get it in realtime. All the mudslinging, I can take, but they've run off many fans. Many females are terrified of being attacked.
Romano: I will say there are some very talented people on there. Steve Blechman and I actually thought about hiring one of these graphics guys form the boards, but he had 28 posts a day. Wonder who they're talking about?
