Hello?
On first glance this may look like and elaborate
chat room to you....it is not! In fact most people will get rather
annoyed with you if you treat it as such. This is a message board
which means that you post your question/comment and come back later to
see what other people have said.
Spam-a-rama?
That's right spam's not just your favorite lunch
meat anymore! ;-)
Spam-a-rama was created with the same intention
of the Un-Topic. Feel free to post almost anything in this topic
even if it has nothing to do with OLP. If you venture in though,
don't be surprised if you get caught in the middle of a spam fight!
(It's all in good fun folks)
I want a topic about........How
do I get it?
This is a moderated message board. Someone
from sony is there and keeps an eye on things. But don't start screaming
censorship just yet. Suggest a topic was created for all of the congressors
to put in their thoughts and new topic idea's. Elana from sony reads
through this topic and suggestions that get support are usually made into
new topics. How do you think we got Spam-a-rama?
Well then lets get a topic to
trade bootlegs!
Considering bootlegs are technically illegal sony
is not going to support this kind of thing on an official band page.
It has been suggested and rejected before. This type of thing usually
will only happen on fan pages.
Oops I didn't mean to post that!
Don't panic! If you look at any post you
made you'll see the number beside it is blue. Click on that number
and it will bring you to a new screen with the Scribble and Hide options.
If you click on scribble the post will be erased forever. There is
no way to retrieve the post once it has been scribbled! Hiding a
post simply means that the post is not visible unless you click on it.
The post is not deleted and it can be made visible again at any time.
This is especially usefully for very long posts.

the top of the screen you will see the forget button click on it and the

Click on the topic you wish to remember. Then click on the remember
button. The topic will once again be displayed with the other active

Off topic posts
This is a major beef of most congressors.
Granted we do tend to get off topic every once in a while but we try our
best. The two topics that people tend to be really sensitive about
of topic posting is Hot Off The Wire and Suggest a Topic. Elana from
Sony has to read suggest a topic to find out what new topics we want. Please
only post in there if its something that she needs to read.
Congressors
The congress had been around since early 1997.
Last december there was a major software overhaul and a lot of the "original
congressors" left. There are just a few of us dinosaurs left there
so you only have to deal with our whining about "the good old days" once
in a while.
With that being said My personal opinion is that
change is a good thing. The Clumsy Congress has seen many people
come and go. Here is a list of some of the people that post at the
CC. |
