That silkyskillz thread about meths' dayglo pushbike.
RIP.
Things people say that immediately make you dismiss their taste in music
I loved the passive agressive tone of this thread
- Music is not real today... it's all done with machines
- Music has to have lyrics

The highlight being my Will Sheff quote obviously
Is there a stand-out 'Does it Look Like I'm Here?', 'Holkham Drones', 'Ravedeath, 1972' of this year, yet?
Discovered so much music from this. Thank you.

IT'S THE FUCKING TINYCHAT GANG AGAIN
A Day In The Editor Of DiS' Inbox
I realised this was probably a bit boring to most people, but I had such an interesting response to this from labels and PRs. I barely managed to share a third of my emails *sigh*

Anyway the winner is definitely MPBH's 100 Songs of NME's lifetime thread.
has this been deleted? i.e. was he banned? or is google being rubbish?
I'm Going To Listen To And Rate All 100 "Greatest Songs Of Nme's Lifetime" Out Of 100
Yeah he was banned.
The thing is, as has probably already been noted, the users who end up getting banned are commonly also the entertaining sparks who are involved in classic threads; therefore the current thing of banned users having all their posts deleted is systematically killing classic threads left, right and centre.
:'(
In many cases, yes
But I cringed my way through that entire thread.
We need to stop the banning deleting thing from happening
I haven't had a developer for about 4 months, and it was just a temporary measure as the site was being killed by spam.
We need a kinda 'sin bin' for users, versus banned for genuine spammers/trolls.
I really didn't want to lose so much dis history like this :(
Not to mention the fact when it deletes something, it isn't also deleting the replies to teh posts, causing mega-threadsmash!
NOOOOO
the remove one letter thread has been deleted too. FUCKSAKE!
