Opeth forum best moments

Kamel · August 25th, 2009, 02:31 PM

Now that the end is near, I would like you to share your last opinions, for there are dozens of members, like me, who joined in recently, so, I think we missed a lot of good and decent threads, memorable posts, and some strange/interesting/ members along these years.

Anyone?

hexwind · August 25th, 2009, 02:38 PM

haha Good one... emm .. the best thread I have seen throughout the year was Faith ! I learned a lot from it lol
Btw, in case this forum will ACTUALLY die, can't you MetalAge include it to the unofficial forums of UM?

Fields Of Sorrow · August 25th, 2009, 02:40 PM

I liked the thread were Anders posted little anecdotes. And anytime Mikael replied.

*wipes tear*

hexwind · August 25th, 2009, 02:41 PM

^yes i was reading it few months back, and David Isberg too ! it was a cool thing seeing the old band members talking with the recent ones before our eyes, and also
Peter's interview !! it was exciting waiting for it !!!!!

Kamel · August 25th, 2009, 02:44 PM

Yeah, "faith" was a fairly decent thread, started by a quaint character..

Atonished I read about some death-metal lovers declaring themselves Christians...interesting, definitely.

What about...PEAC EOUT? what was the name of that thread?

Taran · August 25th, 2009, 02:47 PM

One of my favourite threads was the MY OPTH TRIBUTES SONG one

And of course, Photoshopeth!!!
Those two have made my day every now and then

Taran · August 25th, 2009, 02:49 PM

Oh and by the way...
Goodbye to you all, my Opethian fellows!
Maybe we'll read each other sometime in another forum without all those trolls...

aaronjs · August 25th, 2009, 02:50 PM

Very much enjoy all the laughs I've had from the Photoshopeth thread.

And even though it was started by a troll, the one where that guy wrote his own metal lyrics in broken English, and then another member actually turned it into a song.

I'm not particularly active only posting maybe a couple times a week, but my music understanding as a whole has greatly increased as a result of some of the forum's informative threads.

Opeth Tributes Song! That's the one. The direction that thread ended up taking was great.

Kamel · August 25th, 2009, 02:54 PM

let's keep in touch!!

isolation_years · August 25th, 2009, 03:03 PM

i liked some of the conversations, the opeth collectors thread, JACK FROBER, photoshopeth, all the blak metal rebel moments, any time mikeal posted, all the cool info we got on upcoming releases

i'll miss it here

leprecon · August 25th, 2009, 03:16 PM

This is very sad. There's so many great things about this forum. But if there's gonna be another place for Opeth fans to find out what's going on. Please say the address somewhere here. I'm anxious to continue reading... and posting things about this mighty band Opeth.

wut wut · August 25th, 2009, 03:17 PM

Many of my favorites have been mentioned.

There's the legend of Jack Frober. Sadly I think he may die with this forum.

Nasty-Fire · August 25th, 2009, 03:18 PM

Voting for the new forum design was kinda a nice moment I think.

Scream0r · August 25th, 2009, 03:23 PM

why is the forum closing?

Mike doesn't think the bullshit that goes on here is worth his time or money. But the thing that really pushed him to the decision, I think, was a recent thread about a deceased musician that went really poorly.

MixGrafix · August 25th, 2009, 03:35 PM

I joined a few years back, and got a ton of great musical tips and met a band member on here, and then we me Opeth!

It was great in the beginning, but there are just the worst assholes in the world on here sometimes.

Thanks Mike for paying for it for this long, and I have a great idea if you want to sell an Opeth "forum membership" , hit me up. The crazy drunk mexican "tie my shoe" chick from the Grand Rapids, MI Show is my fiance>

Lol

Cheers!

And Samsara you were a great moderator.

LOL, seriously? OMG, the forum here roxx :d - pleasent to read all comments and oppinions from different people

Antyman · August 25th, 2009, 03:44 PM

the Faith thread wins, end of discussion.

I actually just read it through before seeing this thread..

it's so epic!

Space Butler · August 25th, 2009, 03:51 PM

Some of my favorite moments were with Arasmas, like when Kamel said "you deserve many isolation years" and then he said "you are a huge faggot". And when he got destroyed by Mike when he asked what chord it was in... that one Opeth song, I cant remember which one. I also liked photoshopeth and all the favorite/least favorite best/worst songs, moments, etc. I would also like to thank this forum for introducing me to a few bands that I didn't know of before and for giving me good times. I hope I haven't been too big of a burden to this forum. :P

To rid you disease · August 25th, 2009, 03:54 PM

unheard opeth fragments, photoshopeth and any post by mike or other members.

wwallinga · August 25th, 2009, 04:11 PM

This thread was great: I saw a bird explode today

My 2006 March-Madness Style Best Song Poll was Undeniably Epic:

Initial Post
Seeding Results
First Round
Second Round
Third Round
Fourth Round
Final Four
Final Vote
Results

Finally, as a parting shot... Say what you will about the current administration, but this place was on its way out a long time ago. In my opinion, the day Moonie left as mod in 2006 sounded the final death knell. I'm amazed it hung on this long.

We'll always have the memories (sniff...)

Forum hallmarks:

1. When philno was banned.
2. When philno returned like a little bitch despite saying he was leaving because he has nothing better to than annoy people on an online forum.
3. When Arasmas and Widows Sulk were banned, thus rendering their existences pointless.

Space Butler · August 25th, 2009, 04:29 PM

The Mikael's Live Quotes thread was also great.

Lateralus14 · August 25th, 2009, 04:33 PM

Um, coming here lead me to the non-opeth music chat section and the general metal discussion section and showed me a shitload of cool music and ultimately made me the music listener I am today - how's that for a cool "moment"
