The website is dying because it's just a circlejerk of inside jokes and happy birthdays
Really, can we get back to talking about the Clash?

Feel free to talk about them. They don't come up too often because they don't release new products too often and revelations and new boots are few and far between.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That is Deep Clash Theory, guy named after movie bowler who liked 8-year-olds, dude. Don't you recognize your own kind of superfan?

Have you tried looking in the Last Gang subforum? If you're just seeing happy birthdays you might be in the Right Profile subforum which is for techy issues and birthday announcements.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

You should definitely feel free to start some interesting conversations about The Clash.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

This website has been dying for years. Let it.
I mean, I love saying the same things about the same 6 albums over and over again, myself.

I actually think this place does okay considering the Clash have been finished for years, and we have the competition of Facebook groups etc. And if there is any big news in Clashworld it usually breaks here first. Still my favourite forum anyway.Wolter wrote:This website has been dying for years. Let it.

I'm here to talk to my friends. You might try making some. They're nice to have.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

Anyway, you've been enrolled here since mid September and you haven't contributed one post. There is a whole subforum full of Clash discussion. The "Clash Observations" thread alone has nearly 2,000 replies. Get involved.Jesus wrote:Really, can we get back to talking about the Clash?
ps. I think this might be Chuck or Kaleb or someone on a wind up.

We haven't really had someone stomp in and tell us we're doing it wrong since Clashy, no? I'm gonna say it: I miss that prep school Stalinist.
