C'mon guys, we know you're out there enjoying the fruits of this asylum.
Jump in and join us, it's great craic....
We need new blood as it's turned into a bunch of old cranky lads arguing with each other and the world in general.....
¡Vamos!

Agreed there. Will this site live up to become something as promising as its predecessor I wonder? It isn't looking that way anyway considering only a handful of us contribute
Sure MI was cadaverous for years before CT pulled the plug.
I'm happy enough with this one. It's more active than the later years of MI. Forums are probably never going to reach the heights they were at in the 2000s again. I still think they are a great way to find out about new music without having to see pictures of peoples pets, lunch and new haircuts.
McLove sent me a dickpic in the PM section. A nice touch without getting too personal.
Maybe this is a good time to ask this question:
Where do the regulars here tend to go for their music news (be it just metal and in general)?
I have a few for general music like Treblezine, The Thin Air for Irish stuff, but haven't really a notion where to go for heavier/underground music recommendations and articles with a good writing standard. Sometimes I'll check out Invisible Oranges.
Anyway, I ask because I still think forums are great for this type of thing, but would appreciate some more sources when it's quiet around here.

That was my clitoris. You're not ready to see my cock yet
I miss Leather Mike...we also need a Riotact666 type on here to stir things up....
I would imagine participation is down because of the climate we are in. For a start there is no gigs to discuss and won't be for a while. I'm very grateful for the existence of this forum because it gives me a break from going on YBIG and talkceltic which are obviously soccer forums but I do think there was a mistake made with the name-metal warfare could be based in any country in the world (and doesn't instantly suggest its a heavy metal site either) but if it had been called Metal Eire for instance you'd be left under no illusions as to what you were looking at and might draw in more stragglers

Absolutely this. Missed a beat there for sure. I wonder could Hambeast (if he wanted to) change the name.?
There's so many great Irish bands and I'm sure they'd help draw a few, as you say, stragglers on here.
Fookin place is drippin for a few chicks....

I get most of my music news from The Obelisk (theobelisk.net) given that I listen to a lot of that sorta stuff and from labels/blogs/magazines/bands that I follow Twitter posts these days.
I enjoy this board there's a bit of craic on it but it would be nice to have more users and contributions for sure.
Once gigs start up again the place should get a bit of a boost.
Yeah, I think it's probably quiet because of the lack of gigs. The gig list was a great source of discussion until they stopped :( :(
In answer to the question above about other sources of news, Blabbermouth, Bravewords, although it's a lot of the same on both.
We need more Shocktopus threads, or the guy posing as Brush Shields, or remember that thread with Tom G Warrior's stalker on the old forum?
Fun times.
No, we need more quality metal discussion. Remember that?

Fuck, who was the really crazy fella who thought he was the second coming and nobody on metal Ireland appreciated him?
I thought he was kinda a joke account until I discovered a guy at work was a poster and told me he actually had met him and indeed he was a headcase.
Think he arranged to sell him a cd and he turned up with 100 note and couldn't understand why my work colleague didn't have change for a 3 quid cd.

Did I ever tell you about the time I rid clare23 in the limelight car park? She sweated so much I needed a mop to clean the back of my car.
Prince Andrew she was not.

I never heard the Brush Shiels one, what was that about?
Also yeah I signed up to jump in on the Ireland Metalheads thread so that sort of bullshit definitely does help haha
Someone posting as Brush Shiels with every word in phonetically spelled Dublinese. Was gas.
By coincidence, Eddie Claire28 Reynolds just came up as a Facebook friend suggestion.
Decided to join to hop into the Ireland metalheads thread as well. Had to chime in on that circus

YOU MEAN SHE'S A HE?!??!?
I've resorted to occassionally lurking. Arguing with Trump-loving conservatives and COVID-denying conspiracy nutters soured it all and isn't good for anyone's mental health.
Welcome back ducky
Stick to the music threads.
I came back over from the off topic. Got bored of it a bit when the totally sane and rational lockdown enthusiasts stopped wishing severe illness on me or calling me an arrogant cunt.
Pricks over there have had to resort to such underhand tactics as fighting my suppositions with logic and thorough examination of my sources. I was so scalded with the lack of fear and hysteria that I had to become a lurker on this board, surfacing only to remind you all why I left, because I'm so far above all that and I'm a real joe.ie kind of guy at heart.
Well I'm a changed man now after giving 3 days listening to Guns N Roses and thoroughly looking forward to turning up in the now listening thread every now and again and making the odd mention of Godflesh when I can squeeze it in.
Great to see ye all again lads

Was this the bloke who asked the forum if anyone was interested in trying morris dancing with him? Made me chuckle that one. He seemed serious about it too.
