Are we really this very negative environment? I'd like to know what they talk about on their discord blink section every day and see the difference. I don't think our energy is so bad that people just take a look at these boards and think they should run away from us. And by the way, I'd rather have two new posters like Bagel and Depf over 20 new people who can't even take a joke. To be fair, we've had our moments over the years. But I think the last couple have been a lot better, and we're mostly all friendly at this point, just vulgar and mean and say 'cunt' a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 This place has gotten way more relaxed and chill since oliver left. I sometimes miss the drama, but i think it was a healthy break-up for both sides 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I like that we have people here with a variety of different views on blink and it’s not just the blink equivalent of the AVA Movement Tom worshiping snoozefest. We’re all still fans here, but some prefer early blink, some prefer middle blink, some love the new stuff, but we all love the band. The fact that we can be critical and even negative about what we don’t like while still all loving the band is what’s fun here. Even if the discord didn’t have all the rules I still wouldn’t feel good complaining about blink on Mark Hoppus’ personal discord channel haha. Here I can still argue about my favorite band. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 AVA Movement has had periods of dissenting opinions but for the most part it's too boring for me with all the love and support for all of Tom's bad ideas lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just joking. The problem that the Ava movement had in general is the same problem that marks discord has, it’s a backscratching snooze fest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post _Bagel Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I think the negative reputation these boards have is both overhyped and undeserved. I stumbled onto these boards and found community and connection at a time when those things were extremely hard to come by. I understand that in terms of the band we can be construed as negative, but that’s because we’re so invested and have loved something for so many years. That’s what happens, you hate the idiosyncrasies or love them. That’s what lends diversity to our views and keeps discussion on the band interesting. However, one thread that unites us all is that we acknowledge the huge effect the band has had on all our lives. I get it can be a little intimidating at first - trying to break in with all the history and the inside jokes. It’s like trying to slowly integrate into a friendship group or a family, because, let’s face it you twats, that’s what this is. However, if you show willingness and have a sense of humour about yourself (more than anything) - you’ll get on fine. Pretty much everyone I’ve met here has been welcoming, knowledgable, funny and caring. Its easy to navigate the site without arguing. The only guy I’ve fought with is a neo nazi, which I think is fair enough. (Not it wasn’t @Depf, he’s actually alright). There’s been zoom calls, WhatsApps and people commiserating and taking the piss. I’ve managed to meet a hero of mine and now there’s a huge charity push for the same man in his time of need? This site is amazing. In the words of another hero of mine - everyday you have to talk to somebody, if I don’t talk to you guys - it’s just not the same day. fuck you 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 So Rybread wants to live in a little Blink bubble with zero banter just so he can get the odd message off Mark? bless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 He chose the worst moment to distance himself from us though because our charity is probably one the best things we've ever done and it showed that bitching about a few songs every once in a while is just a little detail when you have a big heart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibaut182 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 The community here has alway been really cool in my opinion ever since I joined the boards back in 2012 (I definitely remember the banter in regards to everyone thinking I was the fake Scott on Instagram/Twitter I didn't mind it all and it was hilarious when I think about it 🤣) I don't take myself too seriously and I totally get the "Banter" element in the UK for sure as well as the roasting (coming from a french person). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioactive tomdog Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 someone should just tell mark that ry collected money from fans to bootleg DED on vinyl. then, he'll be back in no time. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
