SSIA.

Would you go down with the ship?

[Tim the Beek]

SSnothing I can understand.

Vibes is doin' fine.

[alsoa]

[Joker]

The festival seems to be doing very well considering the financial state of the country (is that too political of a statement?)

[MeOmYo]

THE NY GIANTS SUCK!

[Stanimal]

What makes you say its in decline?..I thought the crowd was pretty good last year.

[TheDHJ]

[hoagie]

it is obviously in decline.

[Feesh]

"obviously"?

[hoagie]

yep

[Feesh]

You're "obviously" stating that based on opinion.

...unless you care to back that up with actual facts.

Well there certainly has been an abundance of whining.

Ooooo - a whole two out of 25,000+. Yup. Death knell.

You need some of Batman's anti-Shark repelant that he uses around the 1:05 mark. Classic stuff!

It is in decline...

Talent-wise, message-board-wise, and VG-wise, it has declined.

...and -Fish has been gone for over a year.

New ones coming as the old ones go...

...just sayin'.

[Feesh]

...and this is different, how?

[In A Silent Way]

It's just Hoagie being Hoagie.

No facts, mere opinion.

Some would say this board went into decline when you joined it.

I kid, I kid.

[alsoa]

...and this is different, how?

Just that it's more entertaining somehow.

[halfstar]

I don't think a couple of butthurt hippies on the intertrons represent even 1% of the Vibes attendance. So, no.

We have a winnah!

[halfstar]

Thanks. Johnny, tell me what I've won...

[Roasted and Toasted]

It may come as a shock to some, but there are thousands of fans who buy tickets, attend and rage GOTV, and could care less if this or any other message board exists.

[GoPlastic]

It's just Hoagie being Hoagie.

i see what you did there.

burn! and a sweet one. but i'm glad Hoagie's stuck around. can't be all sunflowers and hula hoops 'round here.

i want to release a single called Butthurt Hippies on the Intertrons. thanks, - hey, you get Foxy Knoxy's digits yet?

[hoagie]

Vibes wasnt even the best-attended festival this year, nor did it meet previous profit-levals from former years.

People were less happy with the lineup last year, as evidenced by online chatter in other forums.

Im sad about all this, it used to be a great place, now its hardly what it once was...especially when I read the Family Forum

Say it ain't so!

A busted iPod and an injunction-free Phish logo ripoff shirt. Congratulations, and if you're lucky you'll be invited back for the Tournament of Champions.

Not familiar.

This. I receive a lot of blank stares when I ask at Seaside " Hey are you on the boards".

[hoagie]

I often wonder, with so many wonderful festivals all around, why people continue to return to Gathering of the Vibes.

Then I saw, people really weren't. Its sad but true.

[TheDHJ]

I think Paul wants a time out.

[hoagie]

no, this is all smoke and mirrors for something that ACTUALLY matters...



enjoi...

[TheDHJ]

We're back to smoke and mirrors?

[GoPlastic]

Not familiar.

ahem:

:masturbates curiously:

yes, thats better.

[bigtoddy]

Wait, are you talking about the festival or the message board? The festival seems to be doing just fine, this place is a shadow of its former self. Over the past 10 years, there has been ebb and flow, people come and people leave from here, interest waxes and wanes, but the overall trends for this community online is decline. Real world relationships that were started here seem to be going strong, and the festival itself seems to be doing something right in terms of bringing in attendance, but this place is kind of boring and really isn't that much fun at all anymore.

[gram-man]

this place is kind of boring and really isn't that much fun at all anymore.

And just how much fun have you brought to this place lately??? Huh?? HUH!??!!

[DancingBearly]

By attacking the Monarchy is not the way to get more freedoms. The peasants and the loyal subjects can only voice their greviences to the Kings Hand and hope if they themselves can not change the law of the land they will tell the king of people's wishes. A good king wants to make his subjects happy.

[Karen]

SSIA.

Would you go down with the ship?

Do you realize the absurdity of the question 'would you go down with the ship?'





How is that even possible?

COME AND SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM! COME AND SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM! HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED!!

[Lazy Lightning]

People come and people go, and some folks even come back sometimes!

[gram-man]

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. If I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

[Karen]

Tin foil is on sale at Meijer.

[Spidergawd]

Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

"but the overall trends for this community online is decline"


that makes zero sense. ive been hearing(from the same people) of how this place is a shadow of its former self for years now. flip the record breh. if this place sux so much why do you come here? i find comments like that insulting. this place is what YOU make it. not the other way around.

[Spidergawd]

Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
