What fan site?

[Shane1V]

What fan site were they referring to that has changed and they now hate or something?

[Puddle O AIDs]

um...im pretty sure its fba

[Ol'BloodyBottom]

What did you think? People bash and complain over at that shithole about everything.

[mendozathejew]

yeah they stink. lets talk about east side dave instead, cause he is just more "fun"

[FAZ8218]

It's fuckin depressing. Lots of great things go on here, there are lots of cool people, and then a few assholes make it all look like shit.

[Chino Kapone]

is it really that bad?

[BIV]

Opie just has selective reading. He only remembers the bad stuff an is more than a wee bit oversensitive.

[abudabit]

Opie is full of shit, he is pretending to be angry to kill some time on the radio. No one is that dense that they would look at a few threads and say it's ruining the board.

I thought we were safe when he said about a month ago he didn't read fba anymore. Oh well, seems like Opie "Tyra" Hughes wants to be surrounded by "yes" people.

how would you like it if there was a message board that picked apart everything you did at work on a daily basis? wouldn't you get annoyed if there was a whole thread on how much time you have for bonus time? i think the admins run a tight ship here, but its impossible to keep out all the nitpicking.

:clap:

I hope you die in your sleep tonight.

[mendozathejew]

its not the complaints or criticism. they've been dealing with that for years.


but it mutated into just bitching on a minute by minute basis. douche bags correcting grammar and pronunciation. its selfish, demanding listeners.

and its the shitty attitude of resentment that many have had since they went to free fm. and the only problem I have with that is when they pretend like its a problem with the show, and not their own attitude problem.

[Shane1V]

It's fuckin depressing. Lots of great things go on here, there are lots of cool people, and then a few assholes make it all look like shit.

It does suck (if Opie is serious) to have this site of mostly huge O&A fans get dumped on. He's likely being too sensitive. Jimmy might say, "he's letting a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch", though Jimmy wouldn't use such harsh language. He's a sweet boy :icon_mrgr

[Death Metal Moe]

I think Opie's talking about the same thing that Ron talks about on their show about Ronfez.net.

These are fansites. They're not going to be positive all the time but there's been far too much bullshit on both boards as of late, and it stands out more than regular posting. We're letting the inmates run the asylum and we need to take it back.

Asshole posters are on notice...

people need to get a grip and learn to adapt. Hey, I miss the XM only days, too, but I don't take every chance to bitch and complain about what I don't like. Fuck all you assholes who took every opportunity to nitpick and complain and brought us to this point.

edit: oh and Opie didn't name the site did he?(i missed friday's show) there are other fan sites ;)

[martianvirus]

Maybe we should make a poll about this shit.;)

[Stinkysteve]

Yeah, this will blow over.

[mendozathejew]

one question for all those calling opie sensitive.

when we had the massive- 'bad ratings' thread back in january, did you hear the boys complaining on air? did wbl sign on and rip us for our complaints and observations?

no. that was a rational discussion with positive intentions. but typically its just fans being kunts, thats what they are talking about

[Absolutely]

I would only disagree with the statement that "You've let Howard Stern fans take over... They've taken over and are running the site" or something along those lines.

Every once in a while they'll be an obvious Stern fan on the site fucking around, but they don't seem to stay long. And even if they do stay it's obvious that that's their motive, so who gives a shit what they post.

[martianvirus]

The part I don't get is this: Opie doesn't like fba because there are a small amount of idiots complaining. But yet he will take calls on the air from those very same idiots. If he doesn't want to hear from those idiots, why answer the phone?

PS. I love Opie....no homo.

[martianvirus]

And Opie, I don't want to eat our own. If they taste anything like they smell, then I don't fucking want to eat that shit.;)

[patbattlefield]

And Opie, I don't want to eat our own. If they taste anything like they smell, then I don't fucking want to eat that shit.;)

a little hot sauce will fix that.:icon_mrgr

[Sack of Chisels]

I don't support all of the assholes who pick apart the show

but then again

This is a messageboard about the show, we should be able to discuss the good and the bad. Shit would get boring very quickly if all of the posts were "LOL" "Great bit!" and constant catchphrases.

I don't think Opie wants "yes men" to lap his ass, but people criticizing everything you do on a daily basis I can see why he's so fed up with us.

It's tough to find a middle ground.

Where has the harmony of wackbag gone?

[Papagolash]

Yeah, this will blow over.



:icon_eek: Holy shit! Thought I'd never see you posting here again. I wonder if fofo's not far behind.



Oh yea, you people think that maybe he's not talking about wackbag?:action-sm

[LastDeadMouse]

Not that it's a problem, but I think this situation stems from the fact that the show takes criticism on in a straight up manner. People complain, they listen and react to it.

People want to feel like they're part of the show, and they see complaining as the fastest route to getting involved, even if it's in a negative way.... It's great that the boys will take on any complainers and not dump out or hang up, but this is the negative side of it. Personally I thought the bleeping out of the other shows to make them sound dirty was getting old just like that caller did, but I'd never waste my time or the show's time calling in to voice my opinion. I just change the channel for a little while of fast forward a bit. If the boys didn't take the time to defend themselves against negative callers (and don't get me wrong, I love that they do) there wouldn't be as much complaining here or on the show.

[supertool]

Is there any way we can send opie more money to make him feel better?

[NorfCal]

I would only disagree with the statement that "You've let Howard Stern fans take over... They've taken over and are running the site" or something along those lines.

Methinks he is referring to a couple of tools on FBA that have made a big impact. I don't see any stern fans running rampant here.

[Absolutely]

Methinks he is referring to a couple of tools on FBA that have made a big impact. I don't see any stern fans running rampant here.

I just assumed he meant Wackbag, but if not I have no idea really what goes on at FBA.

[Hoagie]

I don't think he was talking about one site in particular. Every site has their problems. I think the biggest problem here, and the one that gets both Opie and Anthony fired up, is that they are willing to read this message board and take constructive critcism from it. But the people who criticize don't do it constructively.

"I hate FreeFM"....not constructive...It's a necessary move to keep the show growing and will not change no matter who likes or dislikes it

"I wish the show was as good as it used to be"....not constructive or true...It's a ridiculous statement but people continue to make it not remembering the days when something like the Homeless Shopping Spree wasn't one day's show, it was a week's worth of shows with every part being replayed. Now every day they cover some new ground and yet every time they try to get a running bit or go back to cover a great segment there is someone bitching about it.

"This bit sucks/This bit has been run into the ground"....not constructive and just plain selfish...Saying a bit sucks because you may not like it is not constructive in any way. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that others, and it very well could be the majority of listeners, aren't enjoying the bit. And, likewise, just because most of us listen to the entire show daily and may have heard a bit done day after day for a period of time, it doesn't mean it's not good for the bulk of the listeners who do not listen to the entire show daily.

And then there's always the geniuses that try to act like they know radio better then the people who have been doing it for over a decade and built their show into the biggest thing in the hot talk format. It's like giving batting tips Barry Bonds and telling him how he's not moving his hips right or he's dropping his elbow too soon. He would be annoyed too.

The bottom line is if you're going to criticize the show, have something to back it up and make sure it's valid. The truth is no one really cares or wants your opinion. Opinions don't mean shit. But ideas are valued. If you thought a bit could have been better by doing something then by all means share those ideas. But if you just want to say that you didn't like something then just don't bother posting it. It won't make them stop doing it. It'll just make you look like a selfish asshole and continue to jeapordize the show's willingness to interact with the fans as closely as they do.

[tripwire519]

Hey, I miss the XM only days, too,


well said sir.
:clap: :clap:


People are bitching more because there is more to bitch about. I cannot believe they don't see it? the "fansites" are made up of fans, with a VERY few exceptions. Alot of the fans are not happy with the way things have been going and they are gonna voice that. The bitching and the moaning and the complaining are not just "assholes" they are fans with genuine feelings about the show for the most part. I know they say if you don't like it then don't listen... thats bullshit... So you have a guy that has been a fan of O+A for 5+ years and he's gonna just say fuckit because he's not happy for a few months. ????


I am learning to live with the new format, BUT.... im not as happy with it as I used to be. That is a sentiment A L O T of people feel... some people just choose not to say anything for fear Lord Opie will get angry. Sometimes you need to realize that the problem is not EVERYONE else ... its you.

[okterrificsk2]

I thought we were safe when he said about a month ago he didn't read fba anymore. Oh well, seems like Opie "Tyra" Hughes wants to be surrounded by "yes" people.

Exactly. I think being surrounded by what 8 or 10 "yes men" for the last few years has hurt OnA in being able to take criticism. When was the last time u heard any of the many producers say anything different then what OnA say? Was it when Stece C and Jim had a little fight? Im expecting to hear "tell em Than" "ohhhhh oooopie" pretty soon.

And this new claim that theres a huge amount of Stern fans taking over the board pretending to be OnA fans just to bash ONA is fucking INSANE.

wackbag has its complainers (me sometimes) but they overlook the 90+% of the posts/threads/people that are positive and fully behind the ONA show. And dismiss EVERY single complaint or crtisism as being stern fans/ or bullshit/ or we dont get it.

OnA are complaining about them complaining. What?

Some times i think ONA just are looking for something to bitch about. It aint us OnA.
Why dont you complain about how CBS has turned ur show into on big live read( mac book this , GM this,Bodog that ) and how the commercials are too long. No you bitch about some "face less nameless message board character". Why dont you dig in your heels there? no u go after messageboards BAWHAHAHAHA. Its fucking lame.

Oh no i just gave my critisism and disagreed with a rich radio guy with a fragile ego. Keep saying it doesnt bother you . What does that sound like hmm.... " i dont care . i dont care im telling you i dont care".

OnA, you knew your listeners were assholes right from the start and you cant expect us to change now.

Love the show though and for the record the above was me complaining about OnA complaining about message boards complaining.FRUNNNNKIS.

[Greg Baker]

Listening to them keep it clean untill XM is cool as well. Somedays I don't know how they do it. I guess they might know a thing or 2 about a thing or 2.:icon_bigg

[mendozathejew]

Love the show though.

People who cannot construct criticism, usualy arent very bright anyways. So hoo hoo cares.

Your all letting those bottom feeders affect your lives, just stop maaaaaan. Move along, nothing to see.

the boys didnt get where they are because they had fans guiding them...Be a fan and let them do their jobs.. and for christ sake its their show not yours if you dont like go blow.

Oppinions...are like..... Well you know what their like;)

[okterrificsk2]

Anger? I have no anger and i do love the ONA show and Raf Show. What i said above i do believe but it is just my OPINION. And like a wise man once said "opinions are like assholes mendozathejew, now show me yours".

no anger here just not a blind "zombie like" allegiance to people ive never meet in real life. Thats all. I stand behind what i wrote and none of it is in anger.

monkey hoooouse!

[Glenn Dandy]

Hey whadyaknow... two Opinions are like quotes.. I think we have a nomination here.. anyone 3rd it?

im critical of the show on some days. but if I had passion to write a post your original post of huge overall complaints, id be following something else. or Id atleast be honest that I dont 'love the show' anymore

[Jerry1]

I think its a two part thing about this that should be considered here:
1.There has been a large amont of bitching from this board. Some justified, some not. Problem is that you can't satisfy everyone. Plus the fact some forget that this is just a radio show and relax.
2.Opie can sometimes be an ass. He likes to stir up trouble and animosity for fun and to keep it interesting. Right now, Wackbag is all upset and FBA is having a good laugh at out expense. Watch, down the road Opie is gonna complain about FBA and we're gonna laugh.

[BIV]

That's rediculous. It's the love of the show that inspires that kind of passion. If he hated or didn't give a shit about the show he wouldn't have responded at all.

Exactly. I think being surrounded by what 8 or 10 "yes men" for the last few years has hurt OnA in being able to take criticism. When was the last time u heard any of the many producers say anything different then what OnA say? Was it when Stece C and Jim had a little fight? Im expecting to hear "tell em Than" "ohhhhh oooopie" pretty soon.

This is where we feel the loss of Stinky. I have the same problem with Steve that I had with Ben. Your producer, while not in charge, has to be able to sit the hosts down and point out when they are fucking up. Right now the only people who do that are bosses who are not respected and point out the wrong things as problems.



And who taught us to do this? Who taught us to listen to radio shows and disect every little piece? How does Opie not see the irony of the fans picking apart every little piece of the show when the segment the fan was picking apart was a segment about O&A picking apart every little piece of another show.

And then there was Ant's complaint about the thread "I got douche chills." Ant obviously didn't read the thread very well since it had nothing to do with what he complained about on the air. The guy did not "have douche chills" about the recap, he "had douche chills" about the way they had to censor themselves to try to explain it. If you want to complain about that, fine, but at least know what you are bitching about WBL.

Okay, I'm done.

[patbattlefield]

who knew threads could echo?

[mendozathejew]

That's rediculous. It's the love of the show that inspires that kind of passion. If he hated or didn't give a shit about the show he wouldn't have responded at all..

I think this guy hits the nail on the head. people are pissed they left that exclusive club. and they are acting like a guy bitter about his girl fucking another guy. like it was an ego blow.

One about Audible fucking up (what else is new), one worried about a price hike, another about pad data...but no other bitching threads about O&A. One. On the whole front page. But yeah, we constantly bitch and nitpick.

Hell, the most offensive thread I see here is: "Post here if you love the show and don't have a complaint." It just reeks of the elitism that I thought we shipped off to another board. Besides being dishonest.

Love you too, sweetie.:action-sm

You are mistaking sarcasm with elitism. I don't consider myself elite just sick of people rehashing the same argument over and over again and of course the nitpickers. And what is dishonest about it? Yeah, I miss the XM only days, so? It doesn't mean I have to pick apart the show and constantly compare the show to what it used to be. I'd rather just enjoy it than spend my time picking it apart.

Have a seat. Thanks.

What's dishonest? Can you really say you have no complaints with a straight face? Yeah, I like 95% of the show too, but it only makes the annoying things stand out like a beacon. How will they know we don't like something if we don't tell them?

And it isn't elitist to say "everything is fine and if you don't think so than STFU?" That seems pretty elitist to me.

I don't "spend my time picking it apart" and, in fact, can't recall ever starting a negative thread. But if someone posts something that resonates I'm going to respond.

Sorry if I'm overheated, but Opies completely unwarranted attacks on the board piss me off to no end.

[BrianFromIowa]

I think Opie should take his own advice.....turn the channel. There are other websites than...

I think someone should start another messageboard to make him happy. Only positive posts. All other threads will be deleted and poster will be banned.

Will that be enough?

biv I dont disagree with any of what youve said. thats just honest opinions.

the problem is their phony attitude, its just constant negative energy because people are still ticked off about fm. and that appears in all their whining and complaining about the little shit, over and over again. then covering it up with hey I still love the show.

[Dickieboy]

It's a FAN SITE . The fans have the right to talk about everyting and anything and if the hosts of the show dont like what is being said then dont read it .

Everything said about anyone isnt going to be all peaches & cream all the time .

I have three issues with what you said there.

1. It's not constant, it's very occationally. It's just put in a spotlight every time it happens.

2. You can still love the show and be annoyed about little shit.

3. We should be ticked off, it hurt the show. I would even be okay with it if they just admitted it istead of trying to sell us a bill of goods by saying the show is just as good. For a show that rants about honesty so much they have a very hard time being honest with the fans lately...or maybe just in being honest with themselves.

and you think being ticked at them is going to make a difference? Its over and done with, MOVE ON.

[Iron Duke]

In the end, its just a fuckin' radio show, and we're just a message board. Let's try not to get too serious about it. Yes its great to have a couple of great shows to listen to and a great message board to post on. But in the grand scope neither really mean anything.

[7cent]

is it really that bad?



No. It's really not. Just like they keep a running time of their 'bonus' show, someone here should keep a % positive, to negative thread count.

[hoo cares]

Wackbag has just grown too fast. When I joined, I was familiar with almost every member and they were all cool. There was a real sense of community. Just like anything else, the more people that join, the more assholes you have around. I find myself checking in less and less.

[Dr. Hoffman]

Speaking of fan sites is Church of Opie still around?

[Aaron Burrito]

edit: oh and Opie didn't name the site did he?(i missed friday's show) there are other fan sites ;)
That's part of the problem, name the site. Otherwise it leads to threads like this.

Also they go on air any pick part other radio shows so some people might take that as an open invitation to criticize OnA. And in some ways them bashing message boards is the same as message boards bashing the show. They have been doing radio for so long that it's a little surprising that this type of this still bother them. If you don't like what the message boards have to say how about you just don't read them. I have no interest in hearing any mesasge board talk on either show.

[OnePremier]

To acheive the success the boys deserve, they need a bigger audience. FreeFM gives them this.

Perhaps if it weren't for the 2 years of destroying commercial radio and FCC censorship, the golden tickets to save jocks from the shackles of terrestrial, watching the CBS (and FM ship as a whole) sink like a fucking stone, Satellite radio is the future of radio, shitting on the "radio isn't meant to be paid for" ad campaigns... hardcore fans would have been more accepting of this move back to terrestrial. People who start threads like this act as if there's no reason for several of the O&A fans' mass disillusionment and resulting negative attitude that has been on this board since the FREE-FM move.

I agree that criticism should remain constructive, and/or in the effort of promoting an open dialogue about the show, but it seems lately the more O&A complain about the message boards, the more people come on and attempt to rally against all the naysayers in attempts to get the board back in the good graces of O&A. Likewise the mods will have a tendency to become a bit more draconian in squashing criticism of any type, be it trolling, or legitimate complaints. Personally I don't understand the vehemet desire of this board to maintain it's good standing in the eyes of O&A. Is it a money thing? Is it a fear that they wont plug the board? The way I see it (now I'm spreading my cheeks apart)... if they don't like what they read, then that's okay, they can go somewhere else... start a new board, endorse a different one... we'll still be here talking about the show.

In the end, its just a fuckin' radio show, and we're just a message board. Let's try not to get too serious about it. Yes its great to have a couple of great shows to listen to and a great message board to post on. But in the grand scope neither really mean anything.

Can I get an AMEN?! :clap:

[HockeyHelmet]

people need to get a grip and learn to adapt. Hey, I miss the XM only days, too, but I don't take every chance to bitch and complain about what I don't like. Fuck all you assholes who took every opportunity to nitpick and complain and brought us to this point.

edit: oh and Opie didn't name the site did he?(i missed friday's show) there are other fan sites ;)


:clap:

[HockeyHelmet]

well said sir.
:clap: :clap:


People are bitching more because there is more to bitch about. I cannot believe they don't see it? the "fansites" are made up of fans, with a VERY few exceptions. Alot of the fans are not happy with the way things have been going and they are gonna voice that. The bitching and the moaning and the complaining are not just "assholes" they are fans with genuine feelings about the show for the most part. I know they say if you don't like it then don't listen... thats bullshit... So you have a guy that has been a fan of O+A for 5+ years and he's gonna just say fuckit because he's not happy for a few months. ????


I am learning to live with the new format, BUT.... im not as happy with it as I used to be. That is a sentiment A L O T of people feel... some people just choose not to say anything for fear Lord Opie will get angry. Sometimes you need to realize that the problem is not EVERYONE else ... its you.

No, there just assholes

[Hog's Big Ben]

Opie can sometimes be an ass. He likes to stir up trouble and animosity for fun and to keep it interesting. Right now, Wackbag is all upset and FBA is having a good laugh at out expense. Watch, down the road Opie is gonna complain about FBA and we're gonna laugh.


Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Burr!

[Hoagie]

It's a FAN SITE . The fans have the right to talk about everyting and anything and if the hosts of the show dont like what is being said then dont read it .

Everything said about anyone isnt going to be all peaches & cream all the time .But shouldn't the fans also have the right to talk about the show without selfish douches constatnly chiming in about how they want every minute of the show filled with EXACTLY what they want it to be filled with? I think people tend to confuse listening to the show alot with being a fan. A fan doesn't complain when they do a break on something that doesn't appeal to them. They understand there is a bigger picture then just them. A fan doesn't complain about the FreeFM move. They understand there is a bigger picture.

There are people here claiming that their complaining is what sets them apart from being a "zombie". But it's also what sets them apart from being a real fan of the show. And it fucks the real fans over. One of the biggest differences Wackbag and O&A always had over SFN and Stern is that Wackbag always allowed the fans to voice displeasure over certain LEGITMATE problems and O&A would listen and do what they could to fix those problems. But as the show has grown, and the board along with it, people have started complaining about every little thing. Bits that are only a couple minutes long or the necessary back stories and explaination of things, the FreeFM move. Their all things that cannot be changed without the show taking a step backwards. Real fans understand this and will focus oin the positives instead of the necessary evils. Casual listener will bitch about it because "it's not what they want". Just listening to the show and posting on a message board really doesn't make you a fan. And with all these selfish complaints, when the fans have legitimate constructive criticism, it falls on deaf ears now. It's the "boy who cried wolf" scenario. It's fucking it up for everyone.

I hope people read this and really consider it. Because if you can't understand how a real fan works, then you really don't belong here.

Perhaps if it weren't for the 2 years of destroying commercial radio and FCC censorship, the golden tickets to save jocks from the shackles of terrestrial, watching the CBS (and FM ship as a whole) sink like a fucking stone, Satellite radio is the future of radio, shitting on the "radio isn't meant to be paid for" ad campaigns... hardcore fans would have been more accepting of this move back to terrestrial. People who start threads like this act as if there's no reason for several of the O&A fans' mass disillusionment and resulting negative attitude that has been on this board since the FREE-FM move.

I agree that criticism should remain constructive, and/or in the effort of promoting an open dialogue about the show, but it seems lately the more O&A complain about the message boards, the more people come on and attempt to rally against all the naysayers in attempts to get the board back in the good graces of O&A. Likewise the mods will have a tendency to become a bit more draconian in squashing criticism of any type, be it trolling, or legitimate complaints. Personally I don't understand the vehemet desire of this board to maintain it's good standing in the eyes of O&A. Is it a money thing? Is it a fear that they wont plug the board? The way I see it (now I'm spreading my cheeks apart)... if they don't like what they read, then that's okay, they can go somewhere else... start a new board, endorse a different one... we'll still be here talking about the show.This is the perfect example of a listener who isn't a fan.

Who are you to say if someone is a fan or not! I didn't like the move to free Fm and according to you I'm not a fan? Give me a break, I have four subs, listen to almost nothing but 202 24 hours a day and force everyone around me to listen as well whether is be at home, work or in my cars.
They never will and never should take advice from a listener on a message board, we're not in radio, they are. No one on this site knows more about radio and how to do their job than OnA do. The fact that we can't have our own opinions and are now being told what to say and how to act is bordering on ridiculous. After all this is the Unoffcial OnA message board.


And that guy that you quoted does make good points. I would like to think that I can express my opinion and not get banned for it. Maybe some people take this whole thing a little too seriously. It's just a radio show.

[HummerTuesdays]

I fall somewhere in the middle, but have stopped posting in threads about the show because inevitably someone has already posted what I'm thinking.

I've got legitimate gripes about the show, and I take their advice...I change the channel. Unfortunately I don't have one of those books to fill out, so it has no effect on their ratings.

If Opie wants to be surrounded by Yes Men, he's more than welcome to do that. If you want to be a BUF (Blind Uber Fan), the registration is on another board.

[Hoagie]

Who are you to say if someone is a fan or not!I'm a fan. I understand what it is to be a fan. I was here before the show came back from exile. Before any fan site or any listener could get mentioned on the radio. I was here when there were only fans here working to keep the show they believed in alive while they were being forced to sit out a contract. I know the difference between a fan and a selfish listener.

I didn't like the move to free Fm and according to you I'm not a fan?That isn't what I said. I said a fan would understand the move to FreeFM and what it does for the show. And they wouldn't complain about it.

After all this is the Unoffcial OnA message board.[/U]


And that guy that you quoted does make good points. I would like to think that I can express my opinion and not get banned for it. Maybe some people take this whole thing a little too seriously.

Like I said, listening to the show and posting on a message board does not make you a fan. And if you aren't a fan then you don't belong on a fan site. This site doesn't belong to listeners. It belongs to fans. And the fans have every right to determine what is said and how people act on their board. As for your opinions, you're welcome to them. But like I said, no one cares about them.

[J. PETERSON]

I think Opie's talking about the same thing that Ron talks about on their show about Ronfez.net.

These are fansites. They're not going to be positive all the time but there's been far too much bullshit on both boards as of late, and it stands out more than regular posting. We're letting the inmates run the asylum and we need to take it back.

Asshole posters are on notice...
:clap: :clap:
Amen brotha.

And that's your opinion. Doesn't make it any more valid than mine so why should anyone give a shit about what you have to say either?
Personally I think that's a bad mentality to have. If opinions were irrelevant message boards wouldn't exist. Our opinions should be irrelevant to OnA but they can provide for interesting topics on a message board. Without opinions what would we talk about?

Since I don't seem to fit the criteria, what make someone a fan?

[Mark Pressure]

Isn't WB supposed to be the 'underground' OnA message board? How underground would it be if only a$$ kissing was the norm?

[BullsLawDan]

Ah yes, the "I was here first" school of fandom... You're not a fan unless you have over X number of posts or have been listening X number of years.

[That isn't what I said. I said a fan would understand the move to FreeFM and what it does for the show. And they wouldn't complain about it.
So if you're a fan, you can't complain? All those Metallica message boards saying St. Anger was a piece of shit aren't fans? The Philadelphia Eagles message boards whining that they should find a real #1 WR aren't fans? The Corvette enthusiasts that complain about the awful digital speedo's in the mid 80's aren't fans?

Sorry, but fans can complain. Complaining doesn't make or break "fans".

Like I said, listening to the show and posting on a message board does not make you a fan.
But running a message board does.:rolleyes:

And if you aren't a fan then you don't belong on a fan site.
I think that's obvious, I just don't think the definition of "fan" is as obvious as you make it out to be.

As for your opinions, you're welcome to them. But like I said, no one cares about them.

That might be true, but in order to find out whether anyone cares or not requires putting it out there.

[supertool]

Companies would pay a lot of money back in the day for market surveys, randomly grabbing people and gathering their opinions. O&A get a real time opinion base directly from their target audience, for free from a lot of prople who are paying to listen to them.

I would willingly pay more money if it would mean that they would stop bitching about the free service.

[OnePremier]

This is the perfect example of a listener who isn't a fan.

Following your own logic, you're entitled to your opinion of what you think makes a fan, and on the same note, I'm entitled to my opinion that if you think that what makes a fan, then you're deluded. Your definition of a fan sounds more like a definition of a "yes-man" or the SFN equivalent zombie. I think mine, and many others complaints about the Free FM move are completely legitimate. Understandably so there's not much that's going to change because of it, but it certainly prompted many of us here to view O&A in a different light.

I'm not an idiot. I understand why they made the Free FM move. But why can't I disapprove of the reasons they made the move and still be considered a fan? Why can't I be upset with the dishonesty they had with the listeners surrounding the move? Just because you see why they made the move and approve of the reason doesn't mean everyone else is going to share your sentiments. On the contrary, many of us, in regards to the Free-FM move, felt that O&A had shit in our mouths and called it a sundae.

I'm not a fan by your standards, and thats fine. I'm a non-fan with a mostly positive post-history (more so pre-free FM move), Submits audio and material to the show, a Nov of '04 join date, Organized trips with Corinne to see Jimmy tape L.L., and posesses an external hard drive with EVERY SHOW since Oct '04 stored on it. Come to think of it, it sounds a bit silly to claim I'm not a fan.

[patbattlefield]

jesus fucking christ how many god damn times do the same few people have to express their dissatisfaction with the FreeFM deal? holy titty fucking jesus we GET it. get over it.

[Aaron Burrito]

Replace Free Fm with Merger talks.

By the way how's your letter writting campain coming along?

[Hoagie]

Ah yes, the "I was here first" school of fandom... You're not a fan unless you have over X number of posts or have been listening X number of years.Hard to believe the show gets frustrated with people here. :icon_roll Is that what I said? No it wasn't. He asked me who I am to say who is a fan or not. And the answer to that is that I was here when there were nothing BUT fans. And I've seen the board grow and I've seen a ton of people come here and complain while claiming to be a fan and not knowing what a fan is really about. That doesn't mean there aren't great fans that just found about them after they started on XM. But if you're asking me why I would know, it's because I have the experience to know the difference.


So if you're a fan, you can't complain?If you were a fan, you wouldn't want to complain. That's not say there wouldn't be constructive criticism. But that criticism would be directed at improving the show's success rather then just trying make the show better for just you.[/quote]

The Corvette enthusiasts that complain about the awful digital speedo's in the mid 80's aren't fans?None of these examples really translates to what goes on here. A radio show that puts out about 35 hours of new material every week simply doesn't equate to putting out an album every year or two. As for the Eagles and Corvette examples, I would say that those are examples of constructive criticism. Now if they just said "the Eagles suck" because they don't have #1 receiver or "the Corvette is not as good as it used to be" because they don't like the speedo, then I would indeed say they are not fans.

But running a message board does.:rolleyes: Running a message board doesn't make you a fan. In the case of every member of our staff, we run the board BECAUSE we are fans.

[Fuck Nut]

Wow... both make good points :action-sm

IMO Who the fuck cares? The show is the best thing ever to be heard on radio period. Is that something we can all agree with? There's always going to be someone that says "good day" or "bad day", "good move" or "bad move". Just fucking listen and enjoy the show. It's going to change, evolve, and get better. It always does. Say what you want - good or bad - but just know - There is NOTHING better. ;)

[patbattlefield]

Replace Free Fm with Merger talks.

By the way how's your letter writting campain coming along?

not even the same thing. o&a didn't choose the merger but if i am still bitching a year after the merger takes place then you have an argument. oh, and i'm still writing and calling.:action-sm

Someone care to explain this one to me? I've listened since they came off premium and I don't see where they've been dishonest about any of this.

The move to FreeFM wasn't the first time they had the XM show on terrestrial, so I don't get why it came as a big surprise last April. Getting back to where they were before St. Pats was always a goal and it was never going to happen with just XM.

Bashing FreeFM was legitimate - look at the crap they tossed on after Howie left. Look at the crap out there now that they still bash.

This isn't the first time I've seen the ol' dishonesty thing brought up, but I don't see where they've lied or been hypocritical about any of it either.

[jaydo]

Heres the way I see it . If you don't like something on the show . You have two options . Number 1 TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING RADIO. It is that simple . Number 2 . Get your own radio show and you can do and talk about anything you want to ..

l I have been here for pretty much forever. And I did one of the things above ..and it works for me .. You guess witch one it was ..

I'm not trying to put words in OnePremier's mouth but the whole constant bashing of terrestrial and then all the sudden going to terrestrial would fit here. Also saying that the move wouldn't hurt the show could be another. Longer commercial break, problems with lawyers, having to think about how to word your comments instead of blurting out what you feel, etc...

Also, criticizing other shows on air and then bitching when anyone is critical of them could fit as well. At this point I'm more playing Devil's advocate than anything else.

[Bill Lehecka]

In the end, the following mantra fits in quite nicely:

"It's not about you, douchebag."

Under all of the criticism, under all of the praise, in the end, the show is programmed for a mass audience. You don't like a bit? 100s of other people do. You like a bit? I bet 100s of people don't. You heard this bit before? 100s of people haven't.

It's the Opie & Anthony Show, not the Opie & Anthony show for a Specific Listener.

I don't remember any constant bashing of terrestrial as an entity itself. Yes, they said they loved the freedom at XM, but they were also quick to point out that they made their name during the same time period when Howie said his show turned subpar because of the FCC rules. They've always been on top of that shit. Even SFS3 wasn't an FCC violation.

I don't think anyone expected another morning show to go off and kill a listener though.

[Shane1V]

Oooooooo!! I started a semi-busy thread!!

BTW, Divorce lawyers and bitter ex's are worthless scumbags who, if died in a fire, would not be missed by any decent people.

Allow me to chime in with a funny but true story here---

I had a professor who was also a public defender working in the violent felony unit - defending serious suspects. Before that, she did family/divorce law. Someone asked why she would switch from a lucrative private practice doing divorces to defending murderers and rapists. Her answer: "The clients are much nicer."

[Hog's Big Ben]

You don't remember the Free fm promos and fan entries?


Yeah. Some were even funny. Was there truth to it? There sure was. No O&A. No R&F. Just loads of steaming shit. And it was also a stab at CBS for thinking they were being clever by renaming the format so that you were constantly reminded that you weren't paying for it, like that icky satellite radio.

So...was that funny like "ha ha" funny, or funny like you might get $50 if you submit it to Reader's Digest funny?

[Aaron Burrito]

I'm not saying I don't agree with you guys, I would never critique bits and what not but at the same time I at least would like to know that I have the option. I don't think we should be told what to post and how to act (for the most part, obviously there are exception). And to say who is and who isn't a "fan" is awfully self righteous.

[LastDeadMouse]

I don't remember any constant bashing of terrestrial as an entity itself.

They did it quite often, especially Jimmy.

[Bill Lehecka]

And it was also a stab at CBS for thinking they were being clever by renaming the format so that you were constantly reminded that you weren't paying for it, like that icky satellite radio.

And the argument became that now that the regular airwaves got O&A and R&F back, it wasn't as bad as they mocked it to be.

The regular radio that was mocked before is still being mocked now, but from the inside and not as blatant. The guys are try to change the thinking of program directors to help Free FM become viable again, otherwise regular radio will die under the weight of sponsorships and the lack of edginess. It's not the bashfest it used to be, but to say that those sentiments have done a complete 180 because they broadcast on Terrestrial is unfair.

[Turfmower]

What fan site that has a 40+ page listening thread with 5000+ views every show?

[Hog's Big Ben]

What fan site that has a 40+ page listening thread with 5000+ views every show?


Like that counts. It's the same dozen people saying "morning, baggers", "Mondays suck, baggers", "I gotta go to work, baggers", "traffic sucked, baggers", blah blah blah. Half the time I wonder if they're even listening to the show. Most of you douches I see in other threads. There are people there that I have never seen anywhere else, and they have thousands of posts.

[Turfmower]

I use it to figure out what time some thing was on so I can catch it on the replay.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand........

























picture your own grandmother.........naked

[Freese]

I just took a really big dump. yay dump!

[BullsLawDan]

But if you're asking me why I would know, it's because I have the experience to know the difference.
I stand corrrrrrrrected on that. You certainly can use those qualifications to support your assertion that you know the difference. I just disagree with you on the nature of the difference.

If you were a fan, you wouldn't want to complain.
No one wants to complain except a few assholes.
That's not say there wouldn't be constructive criticism. But that criticism would be directed at improving the show's success rather then just trying make the show better for just you.
And some of us think that in the long run, the free-fm move or certain other decisions do not improve and in fact hurt the show's success. And we're entitled to that opinion, and it doesn't make people "not fans" if they feel that way.

Now if they just said "the Eagles suck" because they don't have #1 receiver or "the Corvette is not as good as it used to be" because they don't like the speedo, then I would indeed say they are not fans.
I would say they are whiny assholes, but that doesn't make them "not fans"
Running a message board doesn't make you a fan. In the case of every member of our staff, we run the board BECAUSE we are fans.
Oops, you're right. I forgot this isn't FBA :D

So...was that funny like "ha ha" funny, or funny like you might get $50 if you submit it to Reader's Digest funny?
Alright, fuck you, I forgot I'm law school educated now, I live on a different planet. Damn, I guess our professors weren't bullshitting when they said it's a whole different way of thinking.

[Clit Commander]

The problem is we're all a bunch of stupid douchebags. Ya know what? I stopped posting on wackbag a long time ago and now float in once and a while. I read this site less and less because its flooded with stupidity and if you blow your nose and don't throw away the tissue properly, you get banned. I prefer FBA to wackbag and ya know what? I post even less on FBA.

We're all stupid douches which is why we're all fans of the greatest show on radio. I wouldn't change that for all the HOOHOO's in the world. But for Pete's sake, the complaining and whining has to stop on all fronts. I don't care what your URL is. Too much wasted space and meaningless threads about crap you can't even discuss. Its like everytime someone has a thought in their head instead of finding a thread about it, they need to make a new thread so that their voice is heard.

Nobody cares what you think. :action-sm

The problem is we're all a bunch of stupid douchebags. Ya know what? I stopped posting on wackbag a long time ago and now float in once and a while.

how would you like it if there was a message board that picked apart everything you did at work on a daily basis? wouldn't you get annoyed if there was a whole thread on how much ketchup you put on the burgers? i think the admins run a tight ship here, but its impossible to keep out all the nitpicking.



For Opie Money, i wouldn't mind a bit.

[al885]

i just hang out in the off topic sections. dont give a shit about show discussion

[Earth2murf]

Opie just needs a hug and a enema.

I have been here for more then 5 years and post evry once in a while ..Opie and Anthony ( You know ...The show this board is about ) were right" It is time to eat your own" As per this thread. You can tell by the replies on this topic .....THIS IS NOT THE BOARD I JOINED!!! WE used to by the anti bashing board ,.. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEND?????

It's the douchebags who spend an awful amount of time in here posting on every single second of the show who are ruining it for everyone else who enjoys the show. Notice they post numerous times for one day's show which means they have way too much FUCKING FREE TIME in front of the computer terminal instead of living in the REAL FUCKING world. Speaking for myself, i read the posts but will only reply on one or two posts depending on the topic. The show has changed over the last few years back in the 'NEW days so get over it all you whining bitches that complain how the show sucks and nitpicking everything they do on the free fm and the xm shows and comparing it to the WNEW days or even their time on WAAF in Boston.

Once I got to the "computer terminal" part I read the rest in Ant's Lucky Strike voice and sort of lost interest in the actual words.

Rather than piss and moan about the douchebags who say the show sucks, I'd instead like to provide a service to them. We're all busy people... so in an effort to save them time, the aforementioned douchebags can feel free to cut and paste the following text:

I am so sick of the _______________ bit. The show used to be much funnier on (choose "XM" or "WNEW"). The show on Free FM sucks. They need to stop doing shit for the new listeners.




And don't worry, you can cut and paste this over and over again! Oh that's right... you pretty much already do. :action-sm

Like that counts. It's the same dozen people saying "morning, baggers", "Mondays suck, baggers", "I gotta go to work, baggers", "traffic sucked, baggers", blah blah blah. Half the time I wonder if they're even listening to the show. Most of you douches I see in other threads. There are people there that I have never seen anywhere else, and they have thousands of posts.


Ha, ha. yeah I thought that was just me, the daily o&a listening thread seems more like AIM for adults anymore.

Toast is always good though.
I like it with butter and just a wee bit of garlic salt.
