To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules; - Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
- When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
- No reposting of old material unless justified
- Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
- No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
- Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
- No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
- No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
- Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up. |

No and I said from the beginning that no one would. It's a catchy song with a funny MV, nothing more.

Upon reading his rant I was gonna say the same thing.

I see you've taken to ad hominem attacks instead of actually actually addressing my point. I never said I was any better then the rest of the posters here, but the majority of the time I just read this thread instead of posting things because a lot of people here say things better or put more effort into their posts then I am willing to. That said, just because sometimes I also fall prey to the chat room status of this thread doesn't mean it makes my argument any less valid. And for the record, I highly doubt i'm the worst offender of that in this thread BY FAR.
I'm sorry if I don't stalk tumblrs/twitter every hour in order to be the first to post new content. I'm sorry for not putting in the time to compile the performance posts from various music shows. I'm just not as dedicated as the people who do. But that said, there's only so much content out there to post, the rest of it has to be discussion about it. And my major point was that people here (including me if you still don't think i'm talking about everybody) could stand to put a little more effort into their posts instead of just 1 line posts.

Look, if you don't like the posts, just don't read them. People here are posting as they like without breaking any forum rules, and while the quality is generally not Taeyeon-tier, it takes a few centimeters to scroll down and skip posts as I think Craton said. If you can't handle that, then that's completely fine, just don't read KMD at all.
An ad hominem attack fallacy is making an unrelated personal attack in order to discredit someone's claim. You're saying that people here are bad posters, and Vorgrim pointed out that you don't exactly have the right to criticize others, because the quality of your posting isn't anything to write home about. He never said you are the worst poster here or anything. More important, he's also not saying that you're wrong in your claim, which he would have to do for his argument to be considered an ad hominem.
In other words, ad hominem would be something along the lines of: you say, "KMD posting is bad", he says "your posting is also bad, therefore you are wrong". What really happened is: you say, "KMD posting is bad", he says "your posting is wrong ironically enough, so it's unfair to hold others up to a standard that you yourself cannot match".
That being said, personally I think we're all fine, you and everyone else included.

shit is legit good. one of the best mainstream korean albums out there.
shame they went to shit after bonamana.

I feel like if my one-liner privileges were taken then my posts would appear extremely cynical.
I think it's alright for people to post one-liners as long as it's not too often or repetitive. And I don't know about you but I come here mostly for the company. It's definitely not my primary news source. This is a forum, after all. And we have those with less discriminate tastes as well as those with much more refined ones. The one liners bring flavor, and as of yet I don't think that they're that annoying at all.

At my high school, Gangnam style is the rage among all of the IB and AP students. At this dance, they played Gangnam Style and we had a mob going.

I like the fact that it retains the original nail color and that just the tip is colored yet extremely detailed. Your thoughts ?
thanks, i am a fan of asian nail art cuz they use a sh*tload of glitter and use a ton of 3D decals (which i love) and they do different things on each nail but it has a theme. i wish more idols took pictures of their nails, i've always wanted to imitate an idol's nail design but i dont have enough 3D stuff for it, like those little balls. i might get some cheap ones off ebay though just to do more asian style nail art. my dream is to be a kpop nail artist.

I'm sorry if what I implied was that I felt people's posts are bad. What I really wanted to say, and what spawned me to write that "rant" was that this thread isn't really slow, and I felt (personally, although I don't think its an unpopular sentiment) that the thread is moving too fast. You're right that it does take a few seconds to scroll past the substance-less posts, but my major thought was that the one liners contribute a lot to the numerous pages that this thread recieves every day. It makes catching up sort of difficult, like when there's something I wanted to comment on but the topic has already shifted, but that's more of a personal issue.
It was more of an anticipatory post to Kara's release then anything really directed at anybody.
Edit: giant run on sentence and stuff.

School starts in 1-4 weeks. Bide your time.

Watching KMD from the sidelines is more nostalgic than one might think, brings ya back to the lurking days.
Anyway me making a comeback on the same day as Kara = coincidence? I think not!
Clear omen of it being time to steal Nicole away
Would've loved to take part in KMD invitational, but you know... murrika :/
Also some pretty funny stuff happening to me during this last week, as I was celebrating the final week of summer vacation by traveling around the Swedish wilderness. At one point I was just stopping for ice-cream (because for whatever reason it was 'bout 25°C above the Arctic Circle), countless miles from civilization in a small house in the woods... only to find Gangnam Style being blasted out of the speakers all over the forest. Suddenly it didn't feel as far from home as it actually was.
In addition, on the train home I had one of those epic moments we were talking about a few weeks ago, I was reading and listening to music etc, standard pastimes, when my phone decides to go all speaker mode, exposing the filled-to-the-brim cabin with the wonderful sounds of + Show Spoiler [this] + for 'bout seven seconds. I kept my nose in my book and pretended like nothing, only casually looking around from the corner of my eyes.
Still. in retroperspective it felt kinda good though, spreadin' the love ^^
In other news, why the hell is 2NE1 kinda beating SNSD in this? http://global.mnet.com/star/poll/result.m?poll_seq=8
I mean not that that means anything whatsoever but...

In theory maybe, but it's probably gonna be in some middle-of-the-night time which, given that school just started again, might be an issue.
Even so, I've only ever played BW as a little kid, can't say I'd be able to put up much of a fight ^^

Indeed welcome back Haxx, did your ban just end today?
I wasn't that excited for the album until today after I saw a few Nicole gifs and watch the full group teaser two or three times, the teaser music sounds interesting, I just want to know how it's incorporated in the song. So can I expect it to be on iTunes tomorrow, or will it only be on Naver and such?

On another note, can someone explain to me why my fancam video of Scream at the 2NE1 concert is being spammed with comments by Koreans & getting mass-disliked?
