I say just make a METAL SLUDGE Music site...with only news, reviews and the basics.
Leave the Moron and Idiot messageboard off...that was a waste of space.

I agree, and for reasons I won't go into, I think that may have ben the direction Sludge wanted to go.
Why in the fucking world would they set up a new site and then disappear for good?? As I said, I'm sure there is another chapter yet to be written.

It isn't gone for good, they are having some troubles right now that are bein fixed as we speak.
Site's down a couple days and all kinds of rumours start flying.
Remember how long it took to get this up and running after we lost the Pink board?????
Sludge is a muchbigger site than this is so its to be expected.
Tig, do you really believe that more than a few people even give a shit now? The Sludge boards aere nothing but a place for idiots to fight and then go in chat and to other boards to insult people. Granted, a lot of them are stupid, such as a certain diseased of our unfortunate knowledge, but it gets boring arguing with half-wits. After awhile, they aren't even fun to mock, their stupidity makes them boring, tiresome, and repulsive.
Frankly, I think everything they do has an ulterior motive.
It appears that Sludge has finally given up the ghost. After all that recent hype about a new site and an alleged falling out between factions, how lame.
While it wouldn't surprise me if there is another chapter yet to be written, it would sem that the Sludge Saga is essentially over.
Sludge is down because of a Hacker attack they will be back.
Not everyone over there is a moron jay there are some cool people, and it is still a good place to get info on bands and tours.
Granted there are fuckers and morons over there you just have to ignore them. That is their life and all ya know [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Tig, wny are they having sooo damn many of these alleged attacks now? Is it because someone that Sludge insulted hired a "hit man" to whack the site?
I think it's just another scam.

...has been since last week that metalsludge is disappeared...shame, that was fun...and as all good things did't last...
Did you not see the email from Stevie Rachelle? It was a 'denial of service' attack on their server, and law enforcement agencies have got involved, as it affected not just Sludge, but all of their ISP's customers too.
Stacey: no i haven't and i hope this is the story (i heard something different) lets see when it comes back then..

Pasted from email;
Attention Metal Sludge friends: Monday August 23rd, 2004
On Friday, August 20th, at approximately 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time, Metal Sludge?s server stopped responding to requests during the flow of otherwise normal Internet traffic, becoming inaccessible for the better part of the past 3 ? days. [img]frown.gif[/img]
Preliminary findings indicate that Metal Sludge?s server has been (likely) a victim of what is known as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. A DDoS attack is a hacker tactic in which a Web site's servers are bombarded with fake packets of requests for information. When the server responds, the attackers' system steps up the barrage by sending more requests. The affected Web site?s server struggles to keep up with the increasingly overwhelming number of requests, which ultimately crashes the system. It?s essentially Cyber Terrorism. DDoS attacks have been used to temporarily shut down the Web sites of CNN, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon.com, Datek, Citibank, MTV, Al Jazeera, Microsoft, the RIAA, and, now, Metal Sludge. :|
Not only did this alleged attack affect our site, but it also affected our entire ISP, our ISP?s ISP, and all of their collective clients. Needless to say, there are a lot of very pissed-off people. The collective amount of damages endured by all afflicted parties is estimated into the tens of thousands, effectively fast-tracking this incident to the attention of Cybercrime divisions within various local and federal law enforcement agencies.
Whoever ordered and executed such an attack, for some reason, really doesn?t want anyone going to Metal Sludge. Some ?bad apple? wants to spoil it for the whole bunch. We?re not sure who would have conceived and carried out such a blatant, wanton act of malevolence, but please be aware that we have been fully cooperating with law enforcement agents, supplying them with any and all information per their request, including the names and contact information for persons who may have had a reason to conduct such an attack on our servers. We guess it's safe to say that these person(s) should be on notice that their EVERY Internet/Computer related move could likely be under the surveilance of some very serious 'next level' people. [img]wink.gif[/img]
At present, there are additional safeguards beyond normal security measures being implemented by our ISP, designed to help thwart a repeated attack, so we hope that such an unfortunate incident will not occur in the future. We apologize to our fans, friends, guests, partners and clients for the downtime.
We will soon be returning to your regularly scheduled Sludge.
In other words, in Sludge terms the above is defined as follows: Some dumb asses might be in a lot more shit than they could of ever dreamed of. In addition, Jani Lane is NOT back in Warrant (yet), Vince Neil is not back in shape (yet), Axl Rose looks more like Joan Rivers son - than the singer for Guns n' Roses, and Metal Skool rools!
Metal Sludge flatlined, but just like Nikki Sixx, we'll be coming back to kick your fuckin' asses even harder!
Metal Sludge is more than a Web site? it?s a way of life. Get used to it.
The globally aware Staff at Metal Sludge.
tnx!!!
<font size="4" face="Arial">So that means that right as I type this...people can't type NON-SENSE in the messageboards anymore...Wow!...I'm loving this!...hahaha!!!Quote:

Sorry my bad, I'm not very fond of one of the staff who seems to think what he says counts, not to mention doing anything the messageboard crybabies there tell him to do, but like they say, a cockroach will live thru anything?...Same goes with Morons...They'll be back....LOL

LFMAO!!!...yeah man..decided to take the name off!!!...hahahaha!!!
Seeing as you got it wrong!
It's Bastard Boy Floyd, not our own Ali!!!
'Some ?bad apple? wants to spoil it for the whole bunch.'
A pity is wasn't a worm virus that attack the
ISP - Hohoho! - Hoohooohoooo!
Not that I particularly care (because I think
their newest CSS template is quite confusing),
but I personally thought, that, ever since
Rachelle ostensibly out-ed himself as it's CEO,
the he might have received varying death threats.
Because it doesn't matter if he is or not, of
course, because the gesture effectively made him
the public face of it all - the public face
with which to slap if one had a problem with the
site.
It was all allegedly done to increase Tuff's
profile... I doubt Tuff's sales increased as
a result.
D.

Funny, I recall the older boards being taken over by those who used them for offline fights and Sludge refused to stop it.The boards were good, if twisted, until that shit started.
Nah scruffy...I been to the board....it was all non-sense and just a huge bitch festival...so I pulled myself from there. I was there to see music posts and to actually talk about music but found that 90% of the people there are just a waste of time.
Scruffy if ya are defending the board..then feel every right to defend it...if ya like it and hang out there..then be it to you to do so. I found it lacking of a good conversation..and sure there are 10% of the people there that one can actually have a good conversation, but a majority of the board is just shit-starters who feel the need to down-grade others...so that is my reason for calling those that do so morons and idiots.
I saw a newbie there once say I'm NEW HERE..Can we talk about some music?...only for Sludgers to tell her...FUCK YOU BITCH..if ya want music talk go somewhere else.
I have other instances if ya got time for me to tell them.
Be it you like to be on the sludgeboard...then do so.
As of now, I'm done with this topic.

Raggz: tnx so much to give me advise/permission to go on the metalsludge board, how foolish of me having done so before asking you...as for the fact that you didn't like it, i'm sure you were writing/reading it at gun point...
Raggz is right though, I post and chat at sludge but honestly i'd say about 85% of the people there know nothing about Metal or Hairbands at all.
They really don't wanna talk about music much at all. Which is sad.
Hmmm...where are the posts on this topic after Marcus' last post?
I see them now, they just didn't show until my last post.
BTW...there was one from Darren after Marcus that must have been deleted, because the "last post" was from him.
According to the lack of link, there is only one page on this topic.
Board fuckup.
Shame really, it was nice to have a place for the embittered and hate-filled to all congregate.
Kept them off the other boards.
Very similar to having an ant farm. Interesting to watch in their little habitat, but you dread that habitat getting broken and having the bastards infest the world around it! haha
Your welcom Scruffy...glad to have assist you...in the future if you need anymore help or want to do something else...feel free to ask me...and I'll be glad to help. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
what would i do without you, Raggz?...just a new comer me...and strange enough i feel already on this thread the homey feeling of metalsludge, sludge on metalsludge in fact, how positive, how deep and superior...
Welcome to Glitznet!
Can we be friends...I promise I'm nice...ask everyone. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
LMFAO!!!
I'm going to have to agree with Raggy on this one.
LOL...I got booted off that board within an hour. That BBF is a pussy who can't take his own medicine, and is a complete hypocrite...'nuff said.
I would find the odd interesting thing on there but a lot of the conversations were idiotic diatribe and people being mean spirited to one and other.
<font size="4" face="Arial">of course we are!..indeed you are, no need to say its only r,n,r....Quote:
