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.
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"
Probably the most 'oh snap' moment of the whole forum .. The whole 'opeth reunited' thread. I know thats not the name.. But i'm sure y'all gets me.
Not surprising. I do recall now Arasmas pointing out he's been banned before. Thanks for extending my point. I guess that makes them that much more pathetic. Regardless, I meant that this banning is more or less going to be permanent now that this specific forum is going to be closed. If I'm not mistaken, they seem to have spent most of their time posting in the Opeth forum.
I'll miss this little sub-forum, especially because most of UM besides a few places is full of tr00 br00tal elitists. My best forum moment for me was everyone's favorite BLACK METALS REBEL.
MixGrafix - For God's sake make one more post and end with 666 postcount, that would be sooo ultimate metal
every redeeming moment in the history of this forum can be directly or indirectly attributed to those "pathetic" trolls. seriously.
would have to agree here (referring to GR's release-present). before that who knows, doubt it but for GR-present then yeah.
Sadly I've got nothing to contribute, as I'm still (relatively) new here, all the best threads I've been around for have been posted. So I'd just like to re-iterate on Jack Frober and the time Mike shat all over Arasmas. Also, Arasmas's Countdown thread was pretty interesting, I liked that thread a lot.
I've read this forum from the very beginning. I lurked for a couple years before I registered. . . and I've mostly lurked since then. There were a lot of good people here in the olden days. Honestly I think that the classic era of this forum ended when the OT was removed in Oct 03. It really started to get bad around the time that Ghost Reveries was leaked, and honestly although I haven't been around much since then, I am sad to see it go.
