Not new and not improved, but BUTT. Badlands, Alberta.

They're the only band named after their own fans!

Totally fair to ask these questions. There's no real reason as to why I brought MT back. I guess it's because it's been a part of my life for the past 20 years. It felt weird not having it around. I have no expectation that people will visit or stick around. I realize there's plenty of other places you can spend your time (reddit, discord, slack groups, etc...). There's a lot of history within the topics here and for some reason, I didn't like that I just erased it. So, at the very least, I wanted to bring MT back purely for the historical snapshot of what useless things people were talking about from 2004 on. The only things that have changed are the server and software. Both were ancient and prone to spamming and attacks. The whole server was taken over by hackers in January which is why I shut it down. After moving to a new server and updating the forum software to be from this decade, I'm optimistic that the spam problems won't be as bad. I'm "present" in the sense that i check the site daily. I don't post much, never have. And I realize that things got really bad here the last few years. Life is crazy with 2 children under 4 years old so I do have bigger priorities. Hope this makes sense...

it s'all bout the he said she said bull shit!

Most of the old posters were just random Russians I paid to talk with me, but they all started working on another big project in 2015. Sorry to anyone else who thought it was real

Jesus I thought spam was back

this is tmonk by the way. apparently this is the account associated with my "real" email address

Is this the family reunion thread? I never thought i'd see this place resurrect, MT was definitely a product of its time and the sharp post-AMSP decline was overdue. Maintaining two fan boards for a 90's band that has an album every 5 years, in the age of reddit.. It's nice to know everything is still here, though. I spent a lot of my adolescence on this site reading up on bands and practicing my writing chops, so many memories.

Me: Okay I really gotta send out applications TODAY. Me: this is the greatest possible time I can think of to reorganize my desk supplies. Think I'll listen to the Decemberists. Remember Party Cheetos? That son of a gun really loved the Decemberists.

fuckin' solid tracks tho!

I love bruschetta, and this summer I discovered caprese sandwiches - pesto, thick mozzarella slice, and tomato toasted on a baguette. It’s just so good. Herbs on bread is heaven on earth.

Reading a lot of my old posts is total cringetopia. Some of them still make me laugh but for a lot of them, it makes me wanna kermit

Basil just ends up shredded when I cut it anyway. I never put it in my salad but it sounds good. I am really into growing fresh herbs now. I have basil, thyme, rosemary atm. It was so hot in May that all my potted flowers died and the only thing alive at the garden center was herbs so I did those on my porch and it smells so good and I pick them and my hands smell good for hours and I put leaves here and there to scent the rooms in my house. Homemade pesto ftw!

i feel like this is how i thought of the Parklol account (which i guess is what i'm currently on, who fucking knows anymore after MT 2.0 or 3.0 or whichever point-oh had the actual name-changing capabilities) but i saw a couple of old posts of mine on this very account today and hot CHRISTMAS they gave me herpes to be fair, i feel like a lot of the bullshit i vomitted out on here (pseudo-british vernacular and varying degrees of stupid posturing) was largely propogated by the suffocating board attitudes at the time - in combination with my high school experience it was not the best mixture - but even so, god damn i deserved a good e-ass-beating or two for some of those. thankfully i am at least "wise" enough to see how awful that kind of posting is, but god damn it should be illegal for teenagers to use the internet or something

somehow deep down i always knew you were a shredder

lettuce is good. iceberg lettuce is an okay idea but it should never have made it further. lately i mix lettuce with kale in my salads. i disagree with kale but put up with it just in case there is a reward somewhere down the road. kale and chard can both go to hell.

I would also like for off-topic to be private again if it is possible pretty please and thank you.

bump

hey!

Also every time my dad needs me to fix the computer for him I have to fight the urge to interrupt his spiels with “QUIET, BOOMER”

I went grocery shopping today. When I was looking at my list, I thought, “Lettuce? What do I need lettuce for? Maybe I just wrote lettuce because of all the salad I’ve been eating for dinner lately.” Then when I was in line, it hit me. I needed the lettuce for BLTs oh god oh fuck

yeah i realized just about the second after posting that, even I have a fuckin' alt on Reddit, lol. however, an alt with a real funny avatar to accompany the posts? yeah, dream on "reddyboys"...

sometimes it was that people just wanted a different name, since back then we couldn't change our names. a lot of it was for playing pranks. i think there were probably a few who wanted anonymity - they still wanted to join in conversations but didn't want people seeing the name and not taking them seriously because of the name.

I just listen to the Splatoon 2 soundtrack over and over because it goes hard

Also, this isn't the first time people assumed Radiohead were nearing the end. There were so many posts in 2008 talking about how Videotape was their goodbye to their fans and they were going to hang it up after the In Rainbows tour. Didn't happen. During the long wait between TKOL and AMSP, lots of people assumed the band would go their separate ways. Again, it didn't happen. Five plus years seems to be their standard interval between albums now - so LP10 in 2021, LP11 in 2026, LP12 in 2031 is perfectly plausible. I won't believe that Radiohead are going to end until I hear it from the band themselves. If you think this is over, then you're (probably) wrong

It's because you're using a new account. Older accounts have react privileges.

All passwords should be the same as you had them. If you can't remember it, you can reset it by using the email that is tied to your account. If for some reason you do not have access to that email (or can't remember it), please feel free to PM me or email (jonathan@greenplastic.com) and I can help. There is an issue with Yahoo email addresses at the moment in that they are not receiving emails from MT. Hopefully that will be resolved soon. I am entertaining selling the greenplastic.com domain but not the site or content (including MT). MT will for now on be at this URL (mortigitempo.com).

Good people of MT! Hello! I miss this place.

I respect that a lot Jonathan ♥️

Wow, thanks Jonathan. Really appreciate this. 2 kids under 4, YIKES!!! I understand!!! :)

I can't believe it's been half a year since I got the Slack invite. I accepted it and joined the website, but I am just a humble dumbass, so I couldn't figure it out. I'm glad MT is back up for this reason alone, although it looked like a lot more people were posting there? I saw box and Rose posting there at least. I actually missed a lot of people from MT!

Spaghetti is lit, I can't believe someone posted such a hateful thing about spaghetti. I'm shaksing and cryign rn

Tmonk, getting mistaken for spam since 2004.

Spotify integration 😍

someone please send out the bat signal to Skuj, I need to pick his brain on subjecting small children to noise rock and free jazz!!

OH MY SWEET SWEET LONGEST THREAD OH HOW I'VE MISSED YOU

ok thanks bruv

MT rebooted for a new generation. With Zac Efron and Dwaynetherockjohnson.

Jesus is back!

Wowzas. It's been ~10 years since I was last on here. Talk about blast from my past. Hello everyone. Glad MT is back up.

i feel complete thanks jonathan!

Thom posted a Paddington gif, that’s basically as good as a new album

I (co-)run a forum, which includes some former AtEasers and so far a couple of people from MT. AtEase is dead too so it's kind of the last holdout. Send me a PM if you're interested and I'll link you.

So I get online to send you a message here to call me, and I see all this shit about "Get an erection" And How you are gona love all over this Natalie girl. Let me be the first motherfucker (literally) that you have ever met to show you a difference between a gay man, and a gay boy. Fuck you, Im done with you. I hope she can pay your bills, and I hope she can house you and cloth you. I will be DAMNED If some fag will use MY computers, to DISRESPECT ME, By talking love bird shit behind my back. Ill be moving to Hell by myself. Your ex-lover, Pablo.

It makes me sick that you would do this all over an internet crush. And I'm fucking Jeffrey Dahmer, I should know about sick things. You've crossed the line.
