Dcc Board Go Poof

[Fierce Critter]

DCC doesn't have their own myspace page as far as I know.

City Club's Myspace page

It's because they had an open flame forum. And they could actually tell another member how they really felt about them on that thread section. When the board was up I met a couple people who were alright... but most said they despize this place because of the lack of free speech allowed here. It's just a personal choice I guess.

thats just stupid.

there are no DGN commandos breaking down your door, say what you have to say, everybody does in here.

the DCC flame forum overall was nothing more than a place to attack one another and basically try to elevate oneself. It was like a sick joke, and it got tiresome (yes Ive done it too) - there were no free speech agendas being championed there, it was just a place to be some keystroke bad ass furiously waging war nice and safe and snug and comfy in mom's basement. The problem with an open flame forum is that the issues themselves very quickly get clouded over and dissappear altogethor as everyone basically just says fuck you no fuck YOU.

and it wasent just the flame forum. DCC in and of itself was as clickish as many things we point our fingers at.

[Steven]

I honestly don't know DCC enough to form an opinion... all I know is that people from there should feel welcome/nonthreatened here

yes they should....but I think the threat if it exists, is due to the fact that there is a different sort of standard within this community. Diiferences often make the rigid feel threatened.

Yep.

I took a peek in there now and again. Occasionally it was a bit entertaining, but it got old really fast.

It reminded me of my brother and sister when they were little and would argue. "He hit meeee. No she hit me firrrrst! Mommeeeee!"

Some of them were incredibly harsh to me. But some of them were cool. Regardless of how they treated me there, I welcome them here!! Who knows, maybe the real mean ones were just trying to look cool amongst their comrades and will be a completly diffrent person here because they'll feel like they don't need to impress. Because they actually don't need to impress

Look dude, I gave my honest opinion about things here before, and got banned for it. If i didn't agree with how DGN was run now, do you think i'd be here? And for one, they only had one thread that was meant for flaming. All the other threads were civil. I'm not bashing or promoting either. It's a pick your flavor of entertainment deal, and I had a taste for DCC as I do for DGN

[Daevion]

I was on both boards......they both had entertainment value in their way. DCC amused me for a couple weeks but became boring after that. DGN has its flaws as well but seems have more endurance and content overall. There is a small "handfull" of posters from DCC that should just stay gone, make the world a better place.

Thankyou, and yes, there's about only two DCC people.. well three.. that shouldn't come here. Fortunately, they have not come. But the three should be obvious.. not to name any names incase they are here...

but they'd say somthing or do something completely effin stupid... and everyone insults them, laughs are had... boredem ensues until one of the jackasses does something else dumb... then gets flamed again... that's all the flame forum was about pretty much. Though there were some cool posts here and there that kept me comming back on ocasion.

[Reaper]

I was on there for a long time...I think since 02. I looked at some threads but the flame forum was always the entertainment. I think a lot of people on there knew me, but I really didn't know them or recognize who they were. Seemed like I could never piss anyone off to become a popularly flamed person. Of course I never pushed myself in that respect lol. Daev? How did you do it? lol

I can name more than three...but I won't...

The noob has to ask. Who are DCC?

[phee]

The noob has to ask. Who are DCC?

Detroit City Club board....

[Onyx]

The noob has to ask. Who are DCC?

It was another message board that was linked from the CityClub website.

[Ivy13]

Thanks for the info folks. It is sad that there seems to have been a flame war between the 2 boards. How childish.

[Onyx]

It was pretty silly, but from what I saw the flaming was mostly located on the other board and mostly ignored here. Not much point to it really.

That board has been gone for awhile now though.

[jadnifer]

I have never been involved with that. Didnt even know that they existed. If they want to join here I welcome them.

Look Dude, I just now read this for the first time and....

nobody gets band for opinions. you get banned for recklessness. Of which I have been guilty of myself.

I think your here because you want to be here. Im not anti-DCC, I just dont want the overall superior tone of DCC to creep in over here.

The flame thread technically was the place to go at it, but in reality that sense of haughty self elevation and overall chastizing of differeing opinions was throughout DCC. It had a certain vibe to it, an elitist one, as if only intelligent Goth's (ie real???) could handle the community therein.

[Homicidalheathen]

......so......I don't know much about local politics as I could honestly give a rats ass.....I didn't like the other board it was boring...

But I brought it up to an old timer local goth the other day and he said and I quote:

'DGN? Oh thats where all the DCC board rejects go'.....

So lets have a drink to being a reject!!!!

Personally I come on here for music advice and events mostly so f*ck 'em most of them probably don't do shit but walk around trying to look cool once a week anyway.

[phee]

I was a reject once... it was great

[FarrIL]

I was a two-board postee.

There are things I like from both boards, regardless.

[Vim]

The impression I've always gotten was a conflict between maturity and adolescence. A lot of us here have moved on with our lives. quit a few of us pay a mortgage, have at least one car note, have children, and so on. on the other board a lot of them are still going to school, still depend on there parents, Still haven't truly decided on what path to take in life, and still have, as of yet to go through the things we have already experienced. in a comedic aspect you could say bevis and buthead vs are you being served? No offense to any one but do you see were the problem exists'? Just my humble opinion.

Cool post

Anyone from DCC is welcome to come here. They just have to realize they are in a different house with different rules and its all good. A lot of DGNers were on " on DCC" we just think of them as DGNers because this is where they are. Welcome everyone openly, regardless of where they come from.

I'd actually prefer this to be a conversation (as intended in the topic post) as an open invitation to homeless DCCers to come here, and if they are not aware of the initiation how we get them over here.

We (DGN in general) made it seem more active than it ever actually was just by talking about it. I would check it from time to time, and the overall post per day count was very low, save a few spam wars between 2 - 4 people and the number of people actually posting vs the number of people that signed up was also very low.

It wasn't so much a conflict "between" boards as it was just a FEW very loud people bashing us openly there and DGN not allowing that type of BS on this board. So any real "conflict" was just a one sided philosophical conflict rather than a real conflict. Its impossible to make everyone happy with anything you do, even though i try. I personally got along fine with the guy that ran it. It was their board they could run it (or not run it) however they wanted.

We (meaning the mod staff) always tended to view "bashing" of DCC here on DGN as a breach of the play nice rules and thus typically deleted it all if it ever got started. Negative commentary another local board is just too close to bashing a local person (clearly against the DGN rules) and could be taken as bashing a whole local community.

I'm actually a bit uncomfortable with some of the posts in this thread as i really hate to give anyone the impression we are bashing another local board (even if it doesn't exist anymore) Not that anyone is really doing that particularly, its just easy to get that impression.

One of the core concepts of DGN is to (generally) take the community seriously as a community with sensitivity to the fact that being "right" is not as important as being civil. That, along with a very dedicated helpful staff which is what you need if you want a place to stay alive and vibrant. If people want to be part of that please, come on over.

[Scary Guy]

I hate that board because most of the members that posted regularly hated me. Also I wouldn't call them goths crunchy, I'd call them idiots. At least I hold people here to a higher standard.

Are we handing out bowls of soup?
