redmarlin3 said:So, what’s the verdict—do you guys actually enjoy going to tribute bands? [And I’m talking about those bands that cover the actual groups you listen to, obviously].

Yeah, totally. If they kill it, it's a blast. 😁 And if they're absolute garbage? Well, then we all just sit there together, collectively groaning at how bad they are, which honestly makes for a pretty good time too. 😁

Also, if you've caught a killer tribute act lately, drop some recommendations here.

Honestly, most of the stuff coming out of the professional tribute circuit is pretty solid. 👍

I was especially blown away by that DT tribute band; I mean, their catalog isn't exactly easy to pull off, but these guys didn't just manage to play it—they absolutely nailed it. 🙏

I wouldn't call them posers, either. 🤷 These guys play the songs they love, the crowd gets to have a great night, and the musicians get a chance to show what they can do... it's a win-win-win for everyone involved. 🤷 🙂

Honestly, I’m thinking we should just let this thread evolve into the official PŽK hangout spot. 🙂

placidmarlin3 said:I’m honestly just sitting here wondering how the high-fashion elites and those power-tripping admins actually plan on tackling the whole mess of moderator-fueled chaos over on Reddit. It’s one thing to deal with trolls, but when the people running the show are the ones stirring the pot? That’s a whole different kind of headache.

By cardboarding it, obviously. 😬

I honestly feel like there’s this unwritten rule floating around that reading through the FBI is strictly off-limits, too—you know, like if you even glance at it, you're basically breaking some kind of sacred code.
So, since we’re officially banning that, I can't help but wonder if they're actually going to make it an official rule or if it's just one of those "unspoken" things that everyone pretends to follow until someone breaks it.
So, basically, it’s just a way for the mods to grant themselves some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card for all those bans they've been handing out like candy lately.
So, what happens when someone actually goes and breaks the rules? Are we talking about getting slapped with a warning, or is this one of those "get out of my sight" situations where you just get tossed out into the digital wilderness? I mean, honestly, it feels like every time someone steps even an inch outside the lines, the mods descend like they’re working for the FBI or something, ready to shut the whole operation down. It's always such a massive ordeal over something that probably could have been handled with a simple heads-up, right?

It’s not even unwritten. 😁 There’s absolutely no way I’m looking at some kind of amnesty deal, because honestly, there is just no way in hell I’m handing over my record. 😁 I earned it fair and square, and honestly, it’s mine and mine alone. 😍

@ reddriver35: you really need to take a closer look at this post. 🙂

Every single time, you just spiral off into one of those wild little fantasies of yours, charging ahead like some sort of vigilante trying to force justice upon the world, when in reality, you don't have a single clue what the actual facts are. 🙂 That’s the whole damn issue right there. 😛

wiredharbor22 said:Some of what you're saying, reddriver35, actually makes sense, but it gets lost in all that rambling about who you love or what you choose to write... Try to be a bit more concise and constructive, and maybe we'll see some progress.

Yeah. And on top of that, she just throws in a mountain of assumptions, treating them like they're absolute gospel when they have zero connection to reality.

Then she acts all shocked when nobody takes the discussion seriously. 🤷 🙂

The forum has plenty of issues, sure, but things would actually improve if someone stepped up and laid them out objectively and rationally instead of making it personal.

Instead, everything here just devolves into these hysterical, petty squabbles and accusations like, "Oh, he did this to me!" or "She said that to me!"

Listen, everyone, if you actually want your complaints to be addressed, at least try to make a coherent point about what the actual problem is. 🙂

Alex Barnes8 said:The PDF already covers SAT prep. Maybe that's where the issue lies.🤷

I mean, there are literally several different topics listed right on the first page. 🙂

Honestly, it's a good thing they let it slide; if I saw someone opening duplicate threads like this, I’d be handing out red cards left and right. 😬

I actually find myself agreeing with Michelle Alvarez8 on this one. 😲 😂

Anyway, I’m sure the server is going to crash any second now. Or maybe it'll just be the end of the world as we know it. Who knows? 🤣

Melissa Watson4, you think you could grab me a screenshot of this post? 😁

Nah. Look, if there's a ton of them and we aren't talking about something actually heavy-duty—like someone leaking your social security number or some other serious privacy breach—the mods aren't going to jump into action. 🙂

If you bother to run just two or three quick IP lookups, you’ll pretty much realize that hitting the sack is actually the most logical move on the table. 😈 🍿

silvertiger10 said:It’s garbage.

"Sorry, it crashed again. And honestly? It's going to keep crashing. Just deal with it and wait."

Yeah, we're just sitting here waiting. Like we're waiting for Godot. 😂

James Chavez91 said:Actually, it’s kind of nice that it’s down; gives me enough time to grab some food, wash up, and just chill. 🙏

Personally, I wish it would just stay dead right now so I could finally crawl into bed. 🤣

Bryan Evans77 said:Look, just give us a heads-up once in a while, like: "Sorry guys, we're doing some major deep-cleaning on the forums, might be down until tomorrow, thanks for hanging in there!"
at least then we wouldn't feel totally left in the dark. 🙂

Nah, that's not it.

"Dear users, as you can probably tell, the server has kicked the bucket again. We might have a clue why, and we might be working on a fix, but honestly, we're probably just winging it. No idea when things will be back up, so just hang tight."

That’s pretty much the only thing I can come up with that actually reflects the chaotic reality of what's happening right now. 😁

silentsailor5 said:Just so we're clear, when I say "we," I don't mean I'm actually the one getting my hands greasy under the hood 🤣

Exactly, it's just that someone else is doing the heavy lifting. 🤣

Celebrations? 🤦

So, did the grass really grow that well last year, or what? 🍿 Or are we looking at some kind of underground stash? That seems to be all anyone's talking about lately. 😁

shadowraven21 said:So, my husband’s cousin is constantly strutting around the house looking all polished up, full makeup, and just nonstop in high heels.

What, is your husband’s cousin a professional adult film star or something? 🤔

Look, if I’m actually sober enough to stumble my way back into my room without tripping over the damn rug, then I guess I’ve officially earned the right to beat myself up about it. 🤷 🙂

The whole world is currently wrestling with how to handle the transgender community, and honestly, it’s a massive, messy conversation everywhere you look. We’ve even seen legal battles break out when trans individuals get kicked out of bars just for using the women's restroom.

I feel like a major US media outlet—something like the New York Times or CNN—should really step up here. Instead of playing it safe or discriminating against anyone who doesn't fit the traditional mold, they ought to make a bold, historic call that sets a standard for the rest of the globe to follow. 👎

So, I’m thinking we should organize a rally to show our support for Cruella, where everyone shows up decked out in dresses. 🙂

Any chance we could get some In Mourning, Agalloch, and Gwynbleidd on the lineup? 🤷

slywolf45 said:Bell, come ooooooon now 🙂

😬

Yeah. 👍 😢

Honestly, if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't even bother. 🤣

Justin Peterson13 said:I know the headline makes it sound like I’m about to start spitting venom, but honestly, that’s not the case here. 😁

So, which current or former fashion icon are you actually a clone of? 😁

For sure, Bellwether defined an entire era of leadership, and she definitely wasn't half bad. 🙂

👍

Well, at least now I finally figured out whose clone you aren't 🤣

And you can really tell. There’s this sense of total anarchy taking over the forum lately. It's just crawling with trolls and spammers, which is bound to happen once the moderators themselves start acting like trolls. I'm not trying to go against them right now, though. 🙂

It's all just in your head. 🤣 Everything is working perfectly fine, really. 😂

jadetrucker43 said:Oh yeah, sponsored topic is basically a threat to the survival of this entire forum. 😬

Especially since you can't even ban that particular menace anymore.
🤣
