I tried to search all the threads I started but there are apparently too many because it won't return any threads earlier than 2009.

Exclude the reported posts and infraction forums.

Good thinking! I forgot I could just search in Comm Intros for my threads. And you are right -- I did not do it. Oh well, its a tad late now.

[jbennet]

Hmm, there is one asking about changing my name from the old proliant_fan to the current jbennet..... but i definately did make one i think. Strange, maybe it has dissapearred.

[Ancient Dragon]

[jbennet]

[sknake]

Unrelated to the thread but I have always wondered why you have an american flag in your avatar but you're from scotland?

[Hiroshe]

I didn't know that forum even existed :P

[jbennet]

Its the cover from an album by my favourite group "Rammstein" (a German heavy metal band).

The album is called Amerika. The guy in the pic is the lead singer, dressed as a stereotypical capitalist. The title song "Amerika" is a satirical piece about americanisation (in particular peoples resentment on how americanisms are eroding traditional ways), americas view on "freedom", and how they use thier political influence on the world.

You can see the band logo in the bottom right

I especially like the line "This is not a love song" for those USAians too dense to catch up.

Re: Reputation comments, they are dance/industrial metal

Listening, listening, listening. Evaluation:
Where's the metal, all I hear is generic pop rock? And you can call it dance if you want.... industrial too, as in: mass produced.

Call it what you want.

[jephthah]

if you think Ministry is pop metal, then ... yeah.

[MosaicFuneral]

There's a band that actually qualifies as industrial metal. Not just a couple plinks on the drum and a few bleeps on a synth in the background(i.e. Rammstein).

Lets see how far off topic this thread will lead itself, today.

Listen to the song "Du hast" then compare it to the song "Zerstoren"

[rachet]

What kind of forum is this? Even moderators take threads off topic.

I saw an old Einstuerzende Neubauten movie - they were in an old warehouse and were playing a rusty iron spring, a shopping cart, some beat up shrouding, and some weird thing made from old tubes and potentiometers. That was INdustrial

[Menster]

Hmm, didn't even know that such a thing was possible/necessary till I saw this thread.
