Open letter to John Merrik

Hey man what´s up? You haven´t been logged in for some time now and our little community is dying. The 3posters is clogging up the site and putting all the posts and discussions that actually is interesting in the back. Some people on here is actually planning to leave and start a new community. And i cant blame them! This site is dying and i really dont want it to, i know that many of the peeps on here dont want it either. If you look around you´ll see that many of us actually tries to improve this place but we dont have the necessary tools. You should give more of the people here the modstatus so we can clean up here. I dont think that you want this place to rot and wither away, but you need to log on and help us to help you and this site.

I don't think this will be read, but yes the biggest pain in the ass is still the 3 poster rule.

Also lol at picture.

I wouldn't lay the blame for the demise of these here forums at the door of JM...forums are on the decline worldwide..I blame Facebook. The Australian breakcore forum is dying, C8 forums are dying, it appears to be a global trend. I am not sure what the solution is...intelligent posting would be a good start - IE, posts that stimulate actual discussion rather than all the OMGLOLZ!! that were quaint and amusing oh so long ago but have now gotten majorly played out and tiresome! You COULD go and start some new communities, but that would mean little pockets of fail all over the place rather than the concentrated fail of one big breakcore forum such as this one...I think this place could be revived if there were a concerted effort to post some decent stuff. I know of one forum that is kinda small but innovative; they have been posting regular interviews with major figures in the extreme electronica / speedcore scene..why not do something similar here? Start interviewing some of the breakcore producers who are currently active and doing some good shit. People would want to read that stuff! Anyways, just my 10c worth

It would seriously suck if this site disintegrated. I've just discovered it.

Serious discussion, like stuff about Jon Merrick flushing miscarriages down toilets and things like that?

My new website will be featuring interviews, already got one being completed as we speak.

So why you still on here then? And why bring up old beef? With that kind of attitude you are destined to fail kid.

Look I understand the desire for a community and all, but I think you guys are taking things a little too "Breakcore is srs bzns". Breakcore is silly, and the community is always going to be taking the piss a bit. It is like being a furry. You act provocatively because you know nobody should really care about what you care about.
BREAKCORE:THE NEW FURRIES
Breakcore is about hanging out and making rediculous sounds over top of Sweet Home Alabama. If you want to tear down the walls of music, or get famous, or make mad skrilla, breakcore is probably not for you. If you want to maybe make someone think something they would not have otherwise, then perhaps breakcore is what you crave. You guys are acting like it would be the end of the world if you never met another person who like breakcore the way you do.

Whats the url?

Dl-44: I agree... Though it gets annoying when nothing is in context or provocative in progress in said context, this isn't really something that needs a militant mindset backing it. Unless of course you want the flow of creativity in a breakcore scene to be stifled and wind up just as boring as any other genre.

I don't think breakcore is about being funny..you go back and listen to stuff like Noize Punishment, Desert Storm Breakcore Squad, stuff on Praxis, Zhark...all the classic stuff...there was nothing cutesy about it, it was full of spite, anger, experimentation and harshness - it also had substance and meaning, it wasn't just disposable crap. I think the funny stuff came around with the advent of forums such as this one and the hordes of K-mart breakcore kids that followed in it's wake. But anyways, my 10c worth is rapidly turning into a buck 50 so I'm audi..I got dead illegitimate breakcore fetuses to salvage from toilets and whatnot..good luck with whatever it is you all decide to do whether it be to persevere with this site or strike out on your own with new ones...the breakcore movement will continue to evolve and that's the main thing that counts...it may evolve into something I do not like, but hey that's cool too.

I fail to see how mine (and everyone elses) recollection of your flurry of personal shit the other year all over these forums demonstrates the wrong attitude on my part. I run two serious labels with physical releases, live shows, interviews, collaborations and features, and my crew have been doing this for near 10 years. That's why i'm here (If you forget the fact that i'm also dead in to this music). You run a net-label and are probably younger than me, kid.

Granted I didn't have to bring up old shit, just struck me as a tad rich so i'm not gonna be tentative in telling it how it is, if anything we need more people worming out trolls and keeping keyboard warriors on their toes cus our decaying little forum has enough rectal discharge to deal with as it is, what with 3-posters, no Moderator and a ticking domain name expiry date to bare in mind.
