Should O&A Control Wackbag Content?

[kid afrika]

Bitching, negativity... should O&A really have total control over what's posted/discussed on wackbag.com?

[Turtle]

control? No but the have every right to talk about this place.

[MAV]

i believe that is what the mods are for

[kid afrika]

i believe that is what the mods are for
Granted, but where do the mods get their opinions from? Who really pulls the strings? Who ultimately decides what kind of content should be "allowed" on wackbag?

[NoSurviivors]

No. The show shouldn't control what happens here directly. It's a board 'about the show', but to police content to that extent would be ridiculous.

[MAV]

we all do. in one form or another.

[westben2002]

agree....mods have the power to deligate...i mean i doubt the boys care, for the most part about what is written even though they talk about it on the show sometimes.

BTW Jimmy, i'm not hidding behind a fake name....West(my last name) Ben (my firstname) 2002 (i dunno, some number)

Ask sites like .NET, and other sites, how much on-air promotion they get for a allowing a decent percentage of their users to constantly shit on the show

All of the boards have different agendas... and different rules.

If you don't like a particular boards rules/regulations/way of doing stuff, then find one that does it the way you like it

Simple

This particular board has pretty much always been run the way it is, and it seems to work pretty well


There is a pretty major difference between constructive critism and just continuously bashing for the hell of it


And before anyone says anything, yes I post on most, if not all, of the boards... I like seeing all the different opinions, but thats what other boards are for.

[Ballbuster1]

They don't. We do. If you don't like it here, there are plenty of other boards
that you can visit. This is a FAN board and we get tired of supposed fans
constantly bashing the show.
Especially those who come here from other places and post shit just to
try and make w/b look like a bitchfest.
Content is always up to the discretion of the mods and nobody else.
Have a nice night.

holy shit...i actually agree with something NFP has to say

[jules]

no and i dont think they want to either.
but i do think it is cool for them to be pissed if they see something they dont like and for them to bring it up on the air.i cant see how anybody would have a problem with that.
its the give and take.
if we bitch about them, why cant they bitch about us?

I've pretty much only posted here since the demise of oa.com. I know I have the option to go somewhere else, but I still think saying "go somewhere else" is a cop out and avoiding the issue.

It's a message board. It's supposed to be a forum open for discussion of O&A's radio show and other things loosely related or not even related.

If you delete/close every thread that has an unpopular opinion, you're really only letting yourselves down.

I do agree that people that come here for the sole purpose of stirring up shit are a different animal and must be handled as such. But, members that contribute mostly on the side of positive should not have their negative comments shut down.

I know that the patients don't run the asylum, but I feel as though if I don't say anything at this point, I can't say anything when this place is all happy happy joy joy.

Why do you really care how many people visit this site? From what we've always been told, wackbag is a fan site, not a money making venture.

If the sites' only intent is to garner the most attention of O&A and to be plugged silly on their show, then why not just join forces ever more tightly with foundrymusic and just completely be their bitch.

There's a rumor floating around that the show owns the site anyway. Might as well admit to it and suck their dick full time if your gonna do it.

Otherwise, you're really fooling yourselves and the members of the board.

LET FREEDOM RING!

Again, I don't think that people should be allowed to come here and randomly post negative shit about the show. But, a fan like myself that may have a negative comment about the show should be allowed to do so.

Put that in your proverbial pipe and smoke it.

lock er up bb1

Sorry but.. to me..this isn't a thread deemed lockworthy. As usual, Kid Afrika raised a good point. How far is too far. This is the "unofficial" opie & anthony message board. The mods do a great job of keeping this place in tact... but I physically cringe everytime someone on the show goes on a rant about message boards, and a member decides to start an ass kissing thread. I mean really.. it's not necessary. We're all here cuz we're dedicated fans of the show.. some have stronger opinions than others. Some are more passionate than others.
No one side is correct. We're all different people, with different opinions, that are fans of the same show.

[kid afrika]

lock er up bb1
I'm not gonna bash a member, but FUCK YOU.

You don't decide what gets locked. This is a poll asking for the opinions of the board members.

It's also a thread to discuss an obviously disputed issue.

Should it fall into nothing but bashing or crapping on the show then the mods should make the decision. But, don't be up your own ass thinking you know what should be locked and what should remain. It don't work that way.

p.s. - luv ya tsty

[cokelogic]

No. The show shouldn't control what happens here directly. It's a board 'about the show', but to police content to that extent would be ridiculous.Hello Exactly! This is wackbag, not a Barbra Streisand board.

[Fruit Monkey]

I think he was saying BB1 hit it on the head and this thread really doesnt do anyone here any good, really.

[tstlkevanilla]

p.s. - luv ya tsty

:icon_redf
Just stating my opinion. This isn't a thread bashing or praising.. it's a legitimate question IMO.

[kid afrika]

I think he was saying BB1 hit it on the head and this thread really doesnt do anyone here any good, really.
I guess that depends on your agenda, doesn't it?

The idea of the thread was to express to the moderators of this board the opinions of the members.

Just as the "post here if you love the show..." thread expresses the opinion of some members. Why can't this thread express the opinion of some other members?

[cokelogic]

You don't decide what gets locked. This is a poll asking for the opinions of the board members.

It's also a thread to discuss an obviously disputed issue.Right. O&A should decide what get's locked.:action-sm

[tstlkevanilla]

I think he was saying BB1 hit it on the head and this thread really doesnt do anyone here any good, really.

neither do most of the threads on this board..

this one could actually start some real discussion and not the usual "T.O.A.S.T" shit.

[Ballbuster1]

1) Please note that this thread isn't locked. Threads get locked because
we feel that they are going nowhere or are just intended to get attention.
Nothing gets locked just because someone else feels it needs to be.

2) People are free to discuss things that they don't like about the
show. There have been many threads on this.

3) The show doesn't give us a penny. That's a total B/S rumor.

[Polack]

I don't think the show should be able to control this board. This is the UNOFFICIAL messageboard. If we start to delete threads that say something bad about the show then call this the official fansite. This is bullshit that you can't state an opinion. I agree that the people who only bash the show should just be sent away. Nobody likes an ass that only states the negative. But alot of people on here post good things the boys do. Just cause the guys only point out the negative all the time doesn't mean we have to change. I bet I can find ten times as many positive threads over negative threads.

[THE FEZ MAN]

the mods control the board. if the mods see fit to close a thread it is for the betterment of the board. thats what mods are for, this is a fan site, not a bitch about every thing board. we rely on the show for promotion as "the" O&A board. if you shit on someone long enough there going to screw you. screwing our self buy constantly nitpicking the show the boys have every right to smash the board and its posters. i for one see there point. there is plenty of debate on this board, hey i hated jimmys crack head psyco cunt girl friend. i hated the clits of my tits girl. im not a fan of the twat from LI that was singing. there theres my complaint.
i agree with Opie most people dont listen more than an hour a day tops. that is who they have to please, not some fat looser living in there parrents basement bitching and hideing behind there keyboard.

I'm tired of that connotation. I am a fat loser, but I do NOT live in my parents basement. And, I've proven that I am not hiding behind my keyboard.

I understand that the show has to cater to the larger audience, and I don't complain about things along those lines. In fact, I would say that my biggest complaint has been their complaining about people complaining. I don't just accept the "go somewhere else" philosophy. Contrarily, it pisses me off. I've paid way too much money over the last 2 1/2 years for my favorite radio show to tell me that my opinion just doesn't fucking matter.

That being said, I understand that when I listen to the show 3 times per day in its entirety it's gonna seem repetitive and so I don't bitch about that.

[kid afrika]

[NoSurviivors]

The question was if the show should control the (or this) board. Not the moderators, as that's what they do.

I don't have an issue with the way this board is moderated.. (besides the fact that ya tookdown my sig pic of a car accident vic cut in half :D) and I doubt that issues that others have really amount to much.

I bring nothing to the table.

you took that way too literally sir, it was intended as a lil jab. i was gonna re-write that but got tied up with a phone call.

[Ballbuster1]

I've paid way too much money over the last 2 1/2 years for my favorite radio show to tell me that my opinion just doesn't fucking matter.
That maybe true, but nobody has paid us, so we still hold the right to
decide what gets posted here. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
If you really want your opinion to matter, e-mail the show.
You didn't pay to register here and you don't pay dues to post so we still
get the final say on what goes and what doesn't. I know that sounds
cold, but that's the truth.

That being said, I understand that when I listen to the show 3 times per day in its entirety it's gonna seem repetitive and so I don't bitch about that.

That seems to be a problem with some listeners. They do listen too much so
they tend to over analyze the show. Some people just need to change the
channel after awhile or go for a walk.

[Rackrunner]

I love the freedom people have that post here mostly. It's refreshing to be able to voice an opinion without constantly worrying about getting tossed because it may be unpopular. Try having an honest opinion about anything negative over at SFN. (the supposedly unofficial board of the other) You'll be banned so fast your head will spin.

[kid afrika]

Paying for something doesn't mean you have any pull. I pay for HBO should the president of HBO take my personal phone call and listen to my opinion on how to run his network. STFU. If you don't like something switch the channel, everyone isn't you. Perhaps someone else enjoyed something you did not.

I don't think my opinion matters. I just want to be allowed the illusion that it does.

HBO doesn't have ads saying, you're waiting 1.5 years for the next episode of Sopranos, suck it! Or, "deal with it or change the channel"...

[NoSurviivors]

When it comes to the complaints, I think the replays have something to do with it. If I watched the same movie twice a day or the same type as many times a day all week, I would tire out.

[LiddyRules]

I don't see why O+A should control Wackbag. I honestly can't think of any benefits of it.

We're allowed to not like segments of the fucking show. I don't care who can handle it and who can't handle it. Yes, sometimes I'm sure it's annoying for us to nitpick but it's one of the tradeoffs with Listening Threads and messageboards. I'm not going to act like everything they do is gold but i'm not going to just be a fucking busy body starting each post with a "I listened since WNEW but...."

[NoSurviivors]

HBO doesn't have ads saying, you're waiting 1.5 years for the next episode of Sopranos, suck it! Or, "deal with it or change the channel"...

no.. they just play the same old ass movies.

[doomwarfare]

Bitching, negativity... should O&A really have total control over what's posted/discussed on wackbag.com?

I would say no, within reason, of course. There are surely things that would
have no place on boards like this one; though there are always going to be egos, agendas
and click-thru rates at stake and things beyond our common interactivity with the board.
It is difficult to succeed without these factors and who doesn't want to be liked to some degree.

Isn't there at least one mod directly "associated" with the show?

I can certainly see why the mods would want to stay in the proverbial good
graces, though some do come off as marks when they start defining what
a "true" fan would and shouldn't do. This is not only limited to the mods,
though moderation is the issue at hand. Running/Moderating this beast
cannot be easy, so I tip my hat to them for doing the job that they do.

I still find it hard to believe that O/A/J really care that much about board bitching.
It makes for great fodder and they have to know that aside from the hit and run hecklers,
there is no way that the show and this board would thrive like they do, if we all didn't care to the point of obsession.

[kid afrika]

no.. they just play the same old ass movies.
As opposed to all of the great new films that have come out lately?

[LiddyRules]

As opposed to all of the great new films that have come out lately? I heard if you go to TCM the feds come to your house.

[Ballbuster1]

No sir. That would be another board and he is associated with R&F.
No one here works on the show. We have met show people at events
and get-togethers, but just as fans and nothing more.

Not to return this to an unhappy place again, and not that I believe everything that I read -
but I thought that the association [though not the identity] was confirmed when the board
and Dugout Doug had a falling out last year. That was the first I had ever heard about the
elite side of the board, as well. I do not recall any of that being heavily contested.
Not so much the elite board, since there were screen caps, but the mod association.

always paid my own way. It's comments like that prove you really are

You my friend are a self-important person with an agenda.

We moderators here at Wackbag regulate the board the way we see fit.

So, stick that in your "proverbial pipe" and smoke it... Yuck.

No. but you do want your opinions to matter as far as the show is concerned and the only reason you post at wackbag and haven't left is because you know that the members of the show and staff read the board. Or am I wrong and is there some other reason? Do you really think Opie or Anthony read a thread by you and sit back and think they should possibly rethink their show?

Perhaps you should listen to the show's feedback on the boards and realize you are being too negative and need to stop nitpicking...but they should listen to you and not the other way around, right?

Actually, I post here because it's a fan board that is made up of fans of the show like myself. Or at least I'd like to think so. It scares me a bit when shit like this comes up and I start to believe that board members and more importantly moderators take everything O&A say as gospel.

I've been a fan of O&A for a long time. I've enjoyed O&A message boards for a long time. Not because of any attention it may get me on the show, but because it allows me to discuss something I like with other people that like it. Whether or not we always agree, I still like the open discussion. When that open discussion is threatened as I feel it has been lately, I want to say something about it and open up that topic for discussion.

It's not about O&A reading my posts and doing anything. It's about members of this board expressing their opinions no matter how unpopular those opinions may be.

If I really wanted O&A to listen to my opinions, I would go to the events and speak my mind to them. I come here to speak to other fans.

The majority of my posts are NOT negative. Maybe it's just the fact that my negative posts garner a bit of attention because they hit topics about which people are passionate.

Surely, you can't believe that all of my 1500+ posts are bitching about the show and I haven't been banned yet.

If OnA paid for this site, then they have every right to decide content. As it is our right on a messageboard to post positive or negative comments, it is their right to not like it. When there are certain bits that I don't like, I just change the channel for a while. Coming to a board like this and others, I will post when a bit is hilarious and others will agree. There are other times when I think a bit bombs or there is a guest/character that I detest that when I see other fans who agree, I don't feel like the odd duck.

I agree that the reason we are seeing more bitching now than the NEW days is the fact that we are hearing the same show 5 times a week which lends itself to being played out if you are an uber-fan whose channel never leaves 202. Last week was a great week of radio, the only thing I hated was that hack Pam singing. Unfortunately I caught her shit when it first aired, again during the replay and unbeleivable at voth ends of a long trip during the weekend. Whatever, some liked her other hated her. Who am I to decide what is funny or not? I think though that some people are a little too into the show. Maybe some outside interests every now and then...

In their defense, I guess it would be odd to read a messageboard about your job performance nitpicking everything you did no matter how minute. While I have never met them in person, I have heard enough from other members that have that really are pretty regular, cool guys. You have to out yourself in their shoes every once in a while to realize that anyone with an ego (that would be EVERYONE on the planet) is going to be bent out of shape when critcized, fairly or unfairly.

Nice try on being the "stir the pot" guy.
There's nothing going on here but your agenda.

Of course. I post something to contradict your point and you say I'm stirring the pot.

No sir. That would be another board and he is associated with R&F.
No one here works on the show. We have met show people at events
and get-togethers, but just as fans and nothing more.

Usually, there are more than 6 fans at an "event". No, you're not at this "gathering". But it sure is funny how many other mods are.

[Deebomber]

I agree some mods do come off as ass kissers but it's not easy trying to control the animals here. As for the bitching about every bit? Come on we don't need to hear people bitch about every little thing. There are some stuff I don't like but I never come on here and bitch about it. Who cares if I don't like the Idol talk or Tyra. Let the mods do their job. O&A don't control this website. After all it is named after somebody's nut sack.

And the reason why O&A are harping on Wackbag is because some of the things people write are hitting home with them. They know the stuff their putting out on FM blows. They cannot beat the FCC rules plus the CBS added rules on top of it. They know that a lot of us don't like what happened but they won't admit it.

Sad part for me was that I was a super O&A fan since WNEW. But sadly I am not anymore because the whole move to FM really turned me off. I actually listen to freefm but at 6 to hear ROn and Fez. I just don't listen to O&A fanatically like I use to. The commercials and constant pitching just turns me off now.

Actually, I think he made a good point.

[patbattlefield]

Actually, I post here because it's a fan board that is made up of fans of the show like myself. Or at least I'd like to think so. It scares me a bit when shit like this comes up and I start to believe that board members and more importantly moderators take everything O&A say as gospel.

I've been a fan of O&A for a long time. I've enjoyed O&A message boards for a long time. Not because of any attention it may get me on the show, but because it allows me to discuss something I like with other people that like it. Whether or not we always agree, I still like the open discussion. When that open discussion is threatened as I feel it has been lately, I want to say something about it and open up that topic for discussion.

It's not about O&A reading my posts and doing anything. It's about members of this board expressing their opinions no matter how unpopular those opinions may be.

If I really wanted O&A to listen to my opinions, I would go to the events and speak my mind to them. I come here to speak to other fans.


You have an overwhelming tendency to criticize and be negative. Then when people call you out you take this stance. Personally I am sick of you and people like you that come here and spread your negativity and pick apart the show. If it was an occasional comment surrounded by a multitude of positive posts I could understand but you seem to just want to cause a stir and be the one person going against the flow. Don't hide behind the free speech argument and "tyranny of thought" its just people sick of your bitching.

[Ballbuster1]

Of course. I post something to contradict your point and you say I'm stirring the pot.

No. You started this thread and have yet to contradict anything I've said.
All you've done is spew B/S allegations that can't be backed up.

So, now it's all about me?

As usual, this as all threads questioning popular opinion will be degraded to personal attacks. What happened to your "don't like it, change the channel" theory?

A thread sucking the shows collective cock is hoisted high, but question anything and get buried in rhetoric.

bb1, lock this thread and you might as well ban me. The thread has a point, not an agenda. Defending myself against you fucks brought out the agenda.

If I'm not allowed to have an opinion. I don't need to be a member of this board anymore.

You'll call me a faux-martyr for the above statement and that's fine. I just have certain convictions that I can not let lie. Always have, and always will. Check the history. It's all there for the reading.

[doomwarfare]

There is currently 6 people [8.45%] who believe
that the show should control the board.

Could any of them shed a little insight as to why they
feel that way? Ruling out any potential insincere votes,
I cannot understand why any fan would feel that way.

And again, I never locked the thread. You have stated your opinion freely.
But the accusations that the show pays our way or buys us anything is
just total bullshit.
Get your facts straight before you spew that crap.
There are pictures everywhere of people with O&A.

[fuckwit]

That maybe true, but nobody has paid us, so we still hold the right to
decide what gets posted here. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
If you really want your opinion to matter, e-mail the show.
You didn't pay to register here and you don't pay dues to post so we still
get the final say on what goes and what doesn't. I know that sounds
cold, but that's the truth.


And why is it you feel the need to control discussion?

A constantly bitching and whining troll is one thing. But ive seen mods threaten posters for mere opinions that arent positive. What do you get out of baning people that have an opinion you (or Opie) doesnt like. Are you afraid WBL will leave, the show wont mention you on air anymore, what is the motivation? Other then getting off on being in control I see no reason for the way honest opinions of fans are treated on this board by the mods.

[tstlkevanilla]

Not bashing just giving my 2 cents. If you didn't like it you shouldn't have quoted it honey.

When was it ever mandatory that anyone visit Wackbag and read anything posted, or post anything on Wackbag?

If the content here pisses someone off, then don't visit, don't read it, stop posting comments.

There is nothing in life that is so perfect as you guys attempt to make this stupid show. So what if people have differences of opinions. Are we hitting too close to home?

Question all you want, but know that you are asking questions about show content on a fan board. You should expect some pushback when criticizing the show. I’m not in favor of blind allegiance, but some allegiance should be expected, especially here.

[Rich W.]

The premise of this thread is kind of moronic...I seriously doubt that the boys would even *want* to control this board...these are guys who allow callers to try to bash them on their own show...

The minute O&A stop pissing people off, they are doing something wrong.

"If the sites' only intent is to garner the most attention of O&A and to be plugged silly on their show, then why not just join forces ever more tightly with foundrymusic and just completely be their bitch.

There's a rumor floating around that the show owns the site anyway. Might as well admit to it and suck their dick full time if your gonna do it.

Otherwise, you're really fooling yourselves and the members of the board."

I said it was a rumor. Not a fact. The owner of the board used to be stingray and that information was public. Then stingray apparently handed over the site to some unnamed person. Since then, the board has gone a bit wacky. Now, who owns the board is a mystery because the owner of the domain is private information hidden behind godaddy.

I don't really care which particular person owns the board, instead I care to know if the board is owned by a member of the show or its staff. This has been contested by a few people that are no longer around. The remaining mods will say it's not true, but we may never know.

I'd like to continue being a member of a wackbag.com that does not let the show control what is and what is not said here. Why? Because I saw it kill my last favorite message board.

As for the martyr comment, that is something that has come up on several occasions in the past in conversations similar to this.

It's becoming very obvious.
Why is it that everyone that opposes you guys has "an agenda"? Technically, everything is done with an agenda, so how is that a bad thing?

I personally think kid afrika brings up a fair point since I know for a fact that someone "show related" has asked another message board to delete certain content. What do you think the chances are it's happened here as well?

...and if you think I'm reaching back to .com days, try last month.

[fandango86]

The answer is a resounding and emphatic YES! Yes, yes, yes, Opie and Anthony should have almost complete control over wackbag content. Why? Because this is a message board dedicated to talking about them and their show! The only content they aren't directly controlling is some of the off topic and bizarro stuff, and of course the Ron and Fez threads, which are completely controlled by Ron and Fez.

Still not getting it? This very thread was brought about by O&A talking about message boards on their show. They gave their opinions on the role of the boards, and lo and behold a thread pops up debating...the role of the boards! Go figure! They have Complete Control! Can you feel Opie pulling the marionette strings? Do you get it yet? It isn't just the 'sheep' starting 'Post if you never complain about the show' threads, it's the sheep starting threads defending their right to make whatever complaints they want. In both cases the content of wackbag is directly being controlled by the show.

That's what I love about wackbag, good or bad, right or wrong, it's always about the show. One thing you have to understand - It's not Opie and Anthony telling us what to write - it's them telling us what to write about.

If you really listen to their complaints, the only thing they've ever said is that they can't for the life of them figure out why someone spends so much time listening and writing about a show that they can't find anything good to write about! I really think it genuinely confuses them.

If you come here every single day complaining about several segments of the show, guess what: It's not the show that's the problem, it's not the mods, and it's not wackbag. It's you.

[MattFromQuincy]

Control no, but they have every right to say anything they want about us.
As for the bitching and whining... I think your amount of bitch/whine posts should be a hell of allot lower than your positive posts since this is a "FAN" board and not a critique board.
I'm just sick of the whiners that start threads in the hopes that Anthony or Op will mention it on air.
I'm not on here all the time but that's what I've noticed lately. Overall this board is great, we just have a few weeds around the edges.

In the spirit of full disclosure, you can admit Anthony was a big part at the beginning? After oa.com blew up. Now? probably not too much.

OK.

Why do people think that because they can post more drivel than other people that they have more weight on a message board and why do those people think that that gives them the right to act like a cunt?


Just a general question. I hope its original enough though.

[Hoagie]

"If the sites' only intent is to garner the most attention of O&A and to be plugged silly on their show, then why not just join forces ever more tightly with foundrymusic and just completely be their bitch.The intent of the site is a place can get together to talk about O&A and other happenings in the world with like minded people. As fans we do like it when the show interacts with us. That comes naturally with being a fan. But the show doesn't control content on Wackbag. The mods do. And every moderator is a moderator because they are a fan of the show. We are sick of trying to enjoy the show and the board through selfish whining babies. We're sick of seeing something we put so much work into get trashed by the people we are fans of because some people want to use this messageboard as their message service to the show to complain about every little thing. It would be one thing if we really didn't think that the criticism from the show was warranted. But we can see where they are coming from....to a point.

There's a rumor floating around that the show owns the site anyway. Might as well admit to it and suck their dick full time if your gonna do it.Wrong as usual.

I said it was a rumor. Not a fact. The owner of the board used to be stingray and that information was public. Then stingray apparently handed over the site to some unnamed person. Since then, the board has gone a bit wacky. Now, who owns the board is a mystery because the owner of the domain is private information hidden behind godaddy.

This has been contested by a few people that are no longer around. The remaining mods will say it's not true, but we may never know.You don't pay a cent towards the site nor do you contribute shit. Who owns the place is none of your business.

I'd like to continue being a member of a wackbag.com that does not let the show control what is and what is not said here. Why? Because I saw it kill my last favorite message board.Again you are wrong. Your last message board killed itself....because it was loaded with people like you.

As for the martyr comment, that is something that has come up on several occasions in the past in conversations similar to this.As the movie Dogma pointed out, the down side to being a martyr is that you have to die. You should get to work on that.

Alright enough with the bickering. Let's just calm it down.

I think you're misinterpretating why threads get locked here, as BB1 said, its up to the sole discretion of the mods, O&A cant control a message board, but it is a fan board. as wrong as they may be about somethings that go on here, they voice how the majority of us feel about the bitching and complaining. the mods are exposed to so much more of it than we are. 6 pages since 830, I hate to say it but I see opie's point, a lot of people have been missing the point lately, the quantity of jokes has declined and the amount of bitching has increased

Great point. But the minute you call out the whiners you are a Kool-Aid drinker. Forgive us for wanting to participate in a more positive environment about the show we are FANS of. People that bitch usually do so in an insulting way and not constructively. Calling the hosts sell-outs and saying the show sucks now or that you don't like when they do something EVERY time they do it is getting old and most people here don't appreciate it.

The fact that you use that thread to criticize me explains quite a bit. God forbid someone post a positive thread for the show!

[Angelfuck]

if you think the show isn't as funny thats fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a lot of people don't have the same opinion. the "just don't listen" opinion is highly under-valued, why do you feel compelled to listen to something you don't think is good?
If you think the show is not as good as it could be maybe you are not as big a fan as you once, so if you're going to listen, and post on a fan board, your and all of our experiences would be highly enhanced if you stuck to contributing to discussions about the things you do enjoy

[boardsofcanada]

fuck no they shouldn't....never.

[CM Mark]

The answer is a resounding and emphatic YES! Yes, yes, yes, Opie and Anthony should have almost complete control over wackbag content. Why? Because this is a message board dedicated to talking about them and their show! The only content they aren't directly controlling is some of the off topic and bizarro stuff, and of course the Ron and Fez threads, which are completely controlled by Ron and Fez.

Still not getting it? This very thread was brought about by O&A talking about message boards on their show. They gave their opinions on the role of the boards, and lo and behold a thread pops up debating...the role of the boards! Go figure! They have Complete Control! Can you feel Opie pulling the marionette strings? Do you get it yet? It isn't just the 'sheep' starting 'Post if you never complain about the show' threads, it's the sheep starting threads defending their right to make whatever complaints they want. In both cases the content of wackbag is directly being controlled by the show.

That's what I love about wackbag, good or bad, right or wrong, it's always about the show. One thing you have to understand - It's not Opie and Anthony telling us what to write - it's them telling us what to write about.

If you really listen to their complaints, the only thing they've ever said is that they can't for the life of them figure out why someone spends so much time listening and writing about a show that they can't find anything good to write about! I really think it genuinely confuses them.

If you come here every single day complaining about several segments of the show, guess what: It's not the show that's the problem, it's not the mods, and it's not wackbag. It's you.

[LiddyRules]

Wackbag is a messageboard about the Opie and Anthony Show. It's not for the show, by the show, or exists simply to praise the show. It exists to discuss the show. Discuss, neutral, neither good nor bad.

Now when people discuss the show, of course, they won't just remain objective and neutral, they'll talk about good things. Yet they'll also talk about bad things. Because when you DISCUSS the you get multiple points of view. I like this because of X, I don't like that because of Y. It's a balance which is why messageboards are good. To let these conflicting ideas engage in dialect. I think it would do a great disservice to remove that from this board.

When it comes to negative posts, they can fall into two camps.

One is the completely and outrightly negative posters who hate the show in its entirety for whatever reason. Their posts usually begin with "I've listened to the show since WNEW and..." go on some long, rambling whiny discourse. Ban them? No. Not unless they really act up. It's just the type of thing that comes along with a mass media show. Eat their own I guess. But, on the side of the show, just because they get upset since people are like this, doesn't mean that by silencing those people those thoughts will go away.

The second group of negative posters are those who have (I feel valid) criticisms of the show: stuff they do that they feel doesn't work, bits that have run their course, unfunny segments, picking on show motifs, feeling that the show has lost the edge, lost the steam, etc. Yet they still listen to the show and for the most part still like the show. They don't view the show as a burden to listen to, they like it but they don't like every single break nor should they like every single break. And what would be the point in punishing them? "You only like 80% of the show, you need to like 100% of the show lest you can't post here." That's bullshit.

Wackbag is not an "official" show board. It's not run by XM, it's not run by CBS, it's not run by the crew of the O+A show. It's an independent entity. "Official" boards are often heavily censored and moderated. We don't have that here, nor should we.

I just think there's something inherently wrong about changing Wackbag around just to please Opie, Anthony or Jimmy because they happen to get cranky if someone doesn't think the entire 6 hours a day is radio gold. They know every show isn't perfect, yet when we don't think something works out, that's when the shit hits the fan?

EDIT: And no, the "you don't know radio so you can't complain" excuse is not valid. If that excuse worked, then most of us could never complain about a crappy movie again because we've never made a movie. And it would have to work in the opposite way too where, because we don't know radio, we can't praise the show either.

[nneptune]

No. The show shouldn't control what happens here directly. It's a board 'about the show', but to police content to that extent would be ridiculous.

Exactly.
I'm glad WBL posts here..almost making us look official.
I wish Opie would get on here, though.

agree with everything but this, and this is why I hate this fucking topic.


Who ever said wackbag WAS controlled or edited by OnA?

of course it shouldnt be and it isnt, so why have this retarded discussion?

[LiddyRules]

Precisely.

Look, it'd be obvious to some people that this thread was started to be the complete opposite of the "post if you love the show..." thread (it's the second I posted because the first was deleted).

I do love the show. I have a huge wow sticker on the back windshield of my car. I have XM in my house and in my car and have XM online at work. I listen to the show all of the freaking time.

I don't like everything on the show. But, I don't nitpick about bits I don't like. I listen to the XM comedy instead. Sometimes, I'll post about not liking shit that's said on the show. Like when they pull the shit about hiding behind a keyboard... How is that different than hiding behind a mic?

Sometimes I feel like this board gets led around by it's leash a bit too much. Not that I don't get that it's a fan board and the mods may simply agree with what O&A are saying about the bitching and whining. However, some of us obviously feel that there needs to be both positive and negative. The fact that this discussion has gone on is proof enough of that.

[zagman76]

should O&A really have total control over what's posted/discussed on wackbag.com?

no.

i believe that is what the mods are for

yes

Granted, but where do the mods get their opinions from? Who really pulls the strings? Who ultimately decides what kind of content should be "allowed" on wackbag?
