What the #$@% happened to the big yawn board?

Looks like the denouement is finally at hand….from the HFStival site.

An open letter to the users/admins of bigyawn.net and 930.com,

Admittedly, our actions this morning and afternoon were ridiculous, to say the very least. We were slightly bemused at the action Big Yawn took in reporting an entirely made up joke on our site as news, and further upset that they made no mention whatsoever of us as a source. It does a great disservice to the readers of Big Yawn to think that there's an shred of truth in that at all, and had it been cited as coming from us, it clearly would have been discredited out of hand, since after all, we're HFStival.com.

That said, our actions just went way overboard. It was totally unjustified for, and we take all the blame. In our defense, we are HFstival.com, and as such, what were you expecting? We're clearly not a classy forum for DC-area music discussion like bigyawn.net or 930.com and we don't pretend to be. We're mostly uncultured and idiotic, and the mere fact we're on a board unofficially dedicated to an Infinity Radio sponsored festival show should speak to that.

I would like to point out that the vast majority of HFStival.com posters had nothing to do with any of these actions whatsoever, and it is not a reflection of our administrator or his staff who, to the best of my knowledge, had no prior knowledge and gave no consent to these actions whatsoever. It was a bunch of idiots taking what they thought would be funny far, far overboard.

So, we apoligize openly to bigyawn for our attack on them and apoligize as well to 930.com for this apparently affecting the traffic of their board as well. We also apoligize if this brought any black eye whatsoever to WHFS, which, while sucking hardcore, doesn't deserve to be linked to our horrid actions. Hopefully we can all just agree to leave each other alone, and we can all go back to some sense of normalcy; you folks with your discussion and us with our subhuman ape people throwing feces at each other.

Sincerely -HFStival.com

Mine is Pollards original. How old is that?

The beauty of the ipod is the integration with itunes. The easy ripping of CDs to Mp3s and to some the convenience of the istore.

Although the napster system does sound great, it is not Mac compatible.

I think advocates of either system would agree that its cool to have so much music easily accesible, either from the sofa, or the car, or on two feet.

So that was gracious of them.

I guess someone can take solace in the fact that people are actually reading his website. :)

Exactly. Yea BigYawn. (see Redsock – darn my psychic abilities. ;) )

i'll jump in the confession pool and say that some of my remarks were pretty snide… once in awhile my admin/moderater hat falls off.

and before any conspirecy threories start getting propageted, as it often happens around here the forum registration system gets confused and stops registering new users. it just so happens that it took another one its mini breaks today and i hadn't gotten around to see if new users were getting registered so it hasn't been fixed yet.

i also am sorry for making fun of a dinosaur jr/modest mouse/trail of dead fan for having 11,000 posts on an hfs site

Those bands are all mockworthy. :D

sorry, i don't remember if he likes alt-country

That could only be the case if he's, like, 30 or something…he probably hasn't evolved that far yet.

Wow.. I don't even remember creating this account on this board. Must have been a while ago..

Anyways, I apologize for my users today. They smell blood and they get carried away. You have to admit it's a little entertaining though :)

No hard feelings..

In my opinion, I think we wiped the floor with them. But who's counting?
