My opinion on anything isn't something I expect people to always agree with...but a big part of why I would go to xiola is because at the end of the day I respected most everyone else's regardless of em agreeing with it because they'd taken the time to respond to whatever it was I said, etc...
As I've always said I met a LOT of great people thru xiola and imo when that happens it changes what it is for you...maybe my expectations were too high?
I'm probably going meet a few people from the old board that I never have & that is a great thing...I'm glad people mobilized quickly to try and replace the xiola board...if anything it shows how much people really cared...that being said just be good to each other. At some point, I dunno around the time I started playing shows with people on xiola or meeting posters who literally came from other countries to meet me, it started to mean a lil more...
So sorry if I came across fucked up at times...it is what it is, and I know some didn't take me too seriously anyways, but that's what it was all about...
Hoka good luck...you know this isn't easy...if I can say anything in regards to how Sonny's putting it down, it IS hard to not take it personal, but I think I said it before and I'm being sincere...I've personally seen you grow up a lot from your posts on these boards...leave it in the past and do what you do here, time takes care of the rest...that being said, apply that to me as well...never truly had any issue with you or anyone (except Larry...LOL) regardless of different opinions...If I ever said anything immature to or about you in the past I apologize...
As for the rest of ya'll I'll be lurking around...so be good to each other...or else I'll have to open up some holier than thou on you guys...
