So i do not expect this to be up that long, but seriously, what the heck is going on around Inforoo this year ??? I mean, people are up and leaving the forum, newbies getting treated like dirt or worse yet, getting chastised for asking questions and such.
When I first joined Inforoo, it was one of the coolest places around because of the warm vibe and the overall good nature of people helping others get ready for one of the best music festivals around...Bonnaroo. Any question that I had went answered and people were beyond helpful for me that first year...without this board, my experience might have really suffered.
Now I look around and it doesn't even seem like the same site anymore. People bashing people for asking questions. newbies getting insulted all the time. Dedicated members leaving more often than some people realize...
Am I the only one that is noticing this? Surely other longer tenured members of this place have to be aware of what's going on...

Amen brother!!! Ive been wondering the same thing. Im glad an experienced member has my back on this. Ive noticed people just talking crap for absolutely no reason. And its always a gang of people with thousands of post teaming up on one newbie. You will open a thread and find that it only took a few comments for someone to talk crap and completely change the direction of the original topic. Whats the point of filling threads with crap that isnt doing anyone any good? I havent been able to find more than one or two nice people on here. Everyone seems to go out of their way to be an a**hole. Someone even started a thread with a poll, sarcastically asking who the best new inforoo member is. Where is the spirit of bonnaroo? Cause this is not it at all

I am not calling anyone out on this. The whole attitude/vibe has to change and there are major changes that have to happen in general, not just by one person or persons.

Youre right. One thing i dont understand is the utter disrespect for other members and their opinions and musical preferences

^^^^^Don't worry, there are still good enough people keeping an eye on this site. The ones that are here to help do just that. Its like asking a question on google. You get an answer, then a ton of useless stuff you have to filter through. The mods need to get all over keeping people in line tho. I for one wouldn't send anyone here for information.

Exactly. There are people who ask honest questions, looking for honest answers. And they get no help at all.

I've noticed this as well. People get "tired" of seein newbies ask questions that've been mentioned previously. It can be tough navigating through here and sometimes the search feature hasn't helped much. At least give them the link to the threads that can help them.... don't be mean and scare them away.
I suggest people use this site. It has a lot of helpful info, but I dont want to be afraid they'll get scolded for asking questions that've been asked before.
Fuck inforoo... The people that bash are fucking nerds, this is all they have to do because they dont have real lives or theres just sucks... Theres some cool people on here but mostly toolbags that turn into tough guys when they sit behind there computer with the protection of being anonymous....
quack inforoo... The people that bash are quacking nerds, this is all they have to do because they dont have real lives or theres just sucks...

in the end this has much to do with the bonnaroo closing it's message board and an influx of people and that generally. pplz be bitter these days - if i'm wrong strike me where I stand
im pretty new and have never been bashed on... and if someone was to bash me i wouldnt care at all bc this is just a message board and no one or nothing could be said to me on here that would upset me
as long as ppl act cool towards each other and ppl can take jokes everything is will cool
As for new ppl asking questions that have been answered maybe the mods should post something on the homepage that states to look around the board for answers cause unneeded threads clog the board
as one of the "old timers" on here I think a lot of the bashing starts because folks do get tired of seeing the same questions asked over and over again..
it is hard to find some of the answers to question because there are so many pages of info to dig thru..also we do have some people that just like to be negative as hell all the time...
I've been trying to get some old threads up to get folks laughing at the silly side.. don't let people run you away...we do like the newbs..with out them this board would probably not have as many wonderful people as it does... and yes some people have left...they tend to do that...people and life change all the time...
thats about all I can say on this matter...hope to see y'all there
Remeber it's just a message board and things will get said that will piss people off... don't let it get to you or run you off...
and remember to vote for Boz for president in 2012 cause he can't fuck shit up worse than it aready is...
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

Believe me, I'm not trying to start any controversy, but I believe this behavior is a representation of the actual festival. My first year was 2007 and we stumbled on this board shortly before going. We have noticed every year that the general vibe has gotten less "special" and more like the general public we deal with on a daily basis. Think of the Conan debacle if you are doubting this. We're not deterred from going but I just had to say that I have also noticed the changes around here as well as at the farm.

I started lurking on here around the end of January. Made an account on the 15 of February and bought tickets the second they went on sale on the 19. I can honestly say that every concern I had and questions I didn't even know I had have been answered by amazing inforoo members. I used all the sticky links and search funtion and no problems finding anything. I found if I have needed direction towards a thread people had no problem directing me there. There are however an influx of other new people who's first post is starting a new thread about information that is in so many places on the forum. There are also old members who think they are the be all end all of Bonnaroo/Inforoo but for the most part you're going to find that anywhere.(Even on the MMJ boards which are probably the friendliest I've ever experienced) I wouldn't dump on people for using this forum all year round, it CAN be a great place to talk about music. Personally I love Inforoo and look forward to logging on to read about everyones ideas and thoughts in anticipation for Bonnaroo.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
Perhaps updating the InfoThreads section of the main page would help. It's still referencing 2009 artists. If we're encouraging new folks to visit there first before starting threads, perhaps they should actually be relevant threads.

For the record moderation team, and I'm posting this here because I'm sure you'll look in this thread, I do chat in the place of unnamed terror. So I guess I should probably be banned for not breaking any rules like nodepression, willsfc, and all the other bros. I just figured what's fair is fair.
Ya know, I've noticed that too, Pondo. I've been dedicated to Inforoo for a long time and as of late, the last two years or so, things have made a serious shift for the worse. I'm not trying to discount the folks who are still out there helping immensely, cuz I know there are plenty of those members still around. But seriously, I've noticed a lot more negativity and hostility, that I personally feel is completely unnecessary.

hey ALLL I have been here for alittle while but dont post that often ( i think im lazy lol), but when I do I try to be nice and helpful b/c that is the response I got when I got here. Alot of the bashing that happens here is b/c of the PACK mentality 1 person insults a newb and then another and so on..... but then what happens is ppl start to feel like ..man if I disagree (or have my OWN opinion) then I will start to get bashed.... so they go along with the bashing untill the thread gets locked.... My point is ppl start to get scared to have there own opinions and thoughts..not everone but some... That said Icant wait untill june and see you People on the FARM!!!!!!!!!!
