Shitmageddon

[Helm]

I'm not really worried about the Thrashmageddon thing in that certainly things change with time and if something is worthwhile it will resurface in less strict environments. I am patient about these things, I don't see the point of jumping through hoops for them. They're just hurting their own, well... business I guess, but their methodology and whatever they have to offer now, somebody else will tomorrow without strings attached.

A few questions.Do they really think that they are the only one?.Man,so hard is to get what they got?.They do what most of people do,download from anywhere then post it in their forum.C'mon,they are no Angels in this ¿business?.Long ago I send a PM to Bigfoot telling him that what he posted in the Blog,the next two days appears in that forum.What's the point of all this.Vote Warkult for president ja.

Split from the Legioned Marcher thread in poisonoise

If you wish to continue discussion on T-M click here. It's an old topic and I think T-M has changed its policy a few times since then, so whatever you read there concerns the policy T-M had by that time.

Ok Thanks Ion !
I read it...
I never payed a cent there and i uploaded lots of previous unavailable items not yet in the www ( Spike, Mystik, Medalion, Counter Attack, Tension, Metalis, Real Steel and the list goes on and on)...but i also downloaded stuff i never listened before, so, i consider it's fair to take but also to give.
Maybe that's why that 30 uploads rule: to avoid immediate leaching ...and 30 uploads is easy ! I did it in a weekend to have access to all sections.
Corroseum and T-Mag are 2 different foruns where i feel confortable and interest to come...Both have different aims: here more towards useful information and discussion specially in 80's (which is my thing) while in T-Mag there's also members who are into 90's DM and BM. Those type of guys wouldn't fit in Corroseum spirit i think...
2 different foruns for different people with different tastes and they don't collide and don't get in competition, just my humble opinion.
About that old DC ++ hub from where T-mag members stole stuff - I'm out of that trouble because i just have computer for a little more than 1 year and half. So i guess everyone here have much more mp3 than me for sure.
There's people leaching everywhere and i try my best to fight it.
I still think it's unfair to insult in general terms everyone from a place, country, belief or religion. Tolerance and respect is the key to make the best
possible world. Insulting just keep things go worser and worser.

and 30 uploads is easy !

Well, I was hoping you to answer on the thread that I pointed above...anyway, I'll answer to this and then I will merge these last posts with the other thread..

30 uploads being easy. I say it depends. People who are into this music since the 80s and they have been tapetrading for 20+ years, for them yes it is probably a piece of cake. But what about the others? What about those who started listening to metal 2 years ago? Considering the number of albums that has been uploaded there chances are that those people will never be able to make not 30 uploads but not even 10. So what's the next option for them in order to enter T-M? Only to pay.
It's their site and they can do whatever they want with it. I personally wouldn't do it that way though.

I couldn't reach those 30 either if wanted. Getting half of those would be hard.

Although with a guitar and a drum computer I could probably come up with 30 fake bands which I'll add to metal archives with fake members for instant believability.

Even a new comer to Metal music has lots of possibilities to upload since one can upload (or re-upload dead links) from 70's Hard Rock to 2008 Gore, Death Or Black Metal releases...
And one can do that in a more slowler fashion...anyways what is 5 euros in today's world ? There's members who have uploader status and even wish also to donate...And there are also the ones who don't wish to upload nothing or to post nothing and turn their backs after 1 day of membership...
I can understand your point anyway when you say you would do it in another way...I have nothing against T-Mag uploading rule or against Corroseum's 30 (now 50-?) posts rule . That is both Foruns Adms decision.
As i said i feel confortable in both Foruns and i respect both Foruns rules and decisions...ok by me.

Which means that you necessarily have to be a gore/death/black metal fan and not only this, you must listen to the newer bands/albums as well. And I guess that's alright with the 5-10 uploaders who do this first, what about the others? I mean if the 50 hottest recent black metal albums are uploaded by 4-5 people, the next 4-5 people have to find the next 50 not-so-hot albums that aren't uploaded. Imagine the fate of the 150th new member.
The whole thing doesn't work very well IMO. It secures a membership for those who either had tons of stuff to upload or those whose collection was relatively small but were lucky enough to be the original uploaders or at least the first uploaders on that forum, but it is leaving few choices for the new members and will always be making things harder for them.

As i said i still think it's very very easy...there's the Hard Rock section and the Live Bootlegs section...one can re-up dead links or improve bit rates...
I think that's a condition to any new member to move his ass and share too...
But i respect your opinion...no problems by me.
Now tell me is this a reason to hate a forum ? Or is any other thing involved ?
As far as i know since i joined, all banned members there, the cause was stealed content or insulting moderators team...maybe 1 or 2 were unfairly banned ...but i think it's matters of the past. Things there are very calm now.
I'm sure there's more important things in the world to hate than just some rules that some may not like (it's a option and than you can go somewhere else) and others don't find any problem in cumply.
In the "outside" world there's everyday's rules we also don't like much but we still go with it.
Now to put things as jewish...as a matter of fact 1 of the biggest NWOBHM raries collectors( if not the biggest) is a Israel citizen and a Corroseum member.
What happens when he reads 1 or 2 previous posts ?
And the Corroseum russian members ? What will happen to any new member when he reads it ?
Let's try to be tolerant with eachothers as Metal Brothers should be.

Personally I don't 'hate' T-M although I can't say that I agree with their mp3/registration policy which is probably the main issue there. I simply find the discussions about music there far less interesting than the ones made here, this forum is closer to the style of metal I like the most, I think people are generally a bit more friendly here and most of those who really contribute in corroseum are interested in music and not in mp3s, because that's the fundament of this forum. Finally the fact that it is too much crowded for my likes.

[Stormspell]

Oh No, NOT this topic again! I really hate how I turned out to be the "Author". DaN, it is all your fault

That's why i'm here too ! I found in Corroseum very interesting topics and got infos on bands i never listened before...Even if i am 45 and like Metal music since the fall of 1979 i'm still "learning"...
For me the best topics are the ones dedicated to the old scenes of various countries. I also like rare youtubes because it allows to listen immediately rare bands and rare recordings.
