The Divas over on the Journey board...........

[classicstyxfan]

were "overheard" complaining to Andrew how they didn't think Journey should be listed underneath Styx in the Forums table of Contents.....

Andrew ( no doubt already fatigued by the inscessant WHINING that goes on over there, coupled with a long week of rebuilding the board after a week of hack-attacks ) acquiesced, and moved Journey to the top position, in spite of the fact theat the Styx board has over 20 percent more posts than it's unworthy competition !

I think I speak for my fellow posters here on the Styx board in saying
"Andrew, we understand.........." If it makes them feel better having their less popular forum for an obvoiusly inferior band listed 1st, we are OK with that here.......we know who the position rightfully belongs to in our hearts, and if will spare you a significant amount of grief and wailing, well, we'll just be the bigger men ( and women ) and feed their needy egos.

because , we know, and they know Journey isn't fit to carry Styx collective jock strap !!!

[sadie65]

Now Classic...

Did you not get enough Halloween treats? You're in a feisty mood

(not that I disagree with your comments...well a few).

One doesn't need to complain when one knows their worth...

Whistling a happy tune.

LOL

AMEN, Brother Classic! Except for who is the "better band." I happen to agree with you, but I really love Journey, so I can't join in on some of what you said, and we have some Journey fans here who seem to be very reasonable people.

For the first time in a LONG time, I tripped over to the Journey board today and, well, they do make us look rather tame, I must say.

But to each his/her own, I say. I do believe our board rules and the posts sure prove it.

In some ways this is similar to 2 brothers playing a game, the older brother being larger/smarter/more athletic nonetheless lets the younger/littler brother score a basket or win a round on occasion so that his self esteem doesnt take such a beating that he wont want to play again next week............

so what the heck, they can be listed 1st......if it makes them feel better.

"We'll" always have more topics and posts!! Mah ha ha ha ha - LOL

[swwskj]

Classic,

Perhaps if you and I crafted some of our world famous popcorn ball songs for them it may make them feel better. Whattya say?

Well, since the Journey forum was deleted at one time there are at least 10,000 more posts you can add to Journey's total...and the fact that Journey is catching up to Styx' total every day ..even though the Styx forum has a few years head start...I think the case can be made for Journey...

Okay, now gimme a G, a bouncy G...

It's been a mystery
Why Perry tried to sing
How did something good
become so bad

Used as a good luck charm
can't do him any harm
White Sox will win somehow, someway

(Chorus)
Now Steve feeds the fire
Why can't he just retire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Some say it was just for fun
Now that the song is done
Wonder who's cryin' now

So many Perry fights
He should have just sang Lights
Nothing can change
His headstrong ways
In a Perryhead rage
The fans wrote the 10,000th page
The fighting aint worth
The attention they crave

(Chorus)

Only so many tunes
You can croon
'Til the smooth voice is over
And then you can say
Your voice has completely died

Monker, that was EXCELLENT!! Even though for the most part we don't see eye to eye on almost everything (LOL), you are a very creative individual!!

I was just kidding on the amount of posts - LOL A lot of the posts on the Journey board are "digs" to each other on there At least on this board we talk about STYX - LOL (I'm kidding again)

[sadie65]

Bravo! Bravo!

All kidding aside I like Journey. Always have.

Monker...that was great!

Where did any of us (Journey fans) entreat Andrew to move us up to the No. 1 spot? I certainly didn't do it. I know one fan briefly mentioned it to him via pm.

[classicstyxfan]

Noble,

Check out the thread over on the Journey board
titled "Nice New Header" that is where this all began......

Thanks for the warm welcome, however, I've dabbled here before.

I know Don't you think "we're" more sane on this board - LOL (I'm only kidding)

By the way, I like your avatar. I do like Sean Connery as Bond the best, but I do like this Roger Moore picture a lot!!

[The_Noble_Cause]

Don't you think "we're" more sane on this board - LOL (I'm only kidding)

Well, I'm not kidding. I agree. While you guys quarrel, I don't sense any genuine radiating hatred between parties. We (over there) truly do hate each other.

Thanks. Yeah, Roger is the best.

That's really too bad. I think many of you over there raise interesting topics.

What would be the point in continuing to argue over something that isn't going to changed? In our case, Dennis v. Styx. I can only speak for myself here, but I'd rather just accept what is and make the best of it. Like who you like.

Thanks. Yeah, Roger is the best.

Roger is pretty cool, but I still lean toward Connery. Stepping out now.

You gotta be kidding right? You actually think Andrew moved Journey to the top simply because Deano (a member who has been given at least one vacation) said Journey should be #1? I am positive that was all Andrew's idea. I made notice that he moved the journey board to #2. That made sense to me since this board and the Journey Board have the most activity. I agree with Monker that if you account for the times the Journey Board has been closed, that board might very well be the more acyive board...who knows? But you call "us" whiners and then make a post like this? Cmon...PLEASE tell me I simply missed the "joke"...

BTW...how many people did Styx play to on their recent tour?

There are quite a few of us that kid on this board, that's what makes it fun

I don't think it really matters whose idea it was. We'll always be #1 in our hearts - LOL

Again, I'm sure most of us are just joking. I think some of the Journey people are getting a little sensitive (again, I'm joking)

BTW...how many people did Styx play to on their recent tour?

OUCH, that hurts!! Actually it's Carrot Styx (LOL, kidding) and current line-up Journey has been outselling them big time this year.

I took it as a joke. Classic is out resident class clown and very seldom takes things seriously. Again, I'll speak only for me, I honestly don't care about number of posts. I personally think it's great that there are 2 classic rock bands out there who have people wanting to "talk" about them as often as both groups do.

As for Styx and their never ending tour...I've often maintained they need to come in off the road for a while and build an audience again. For me, they've worn out their welcome. That being said, I don't and won't hold it against anyone who wants to see them. More power to them.

[classicstyxfan]

Oh come on !!!!!! me ???????? The most serious person on ALL OF MELODIC ROCK, kidding around ?

Next you''ll be spreading the lie that I occasionally resort to
SARCASM

I'm actually VERY UPSET sbout the demotion of our little community to #2 on MR's forum TOC, after all we've done for ANDREW, this is quite the slap in the face !!! And to lose position to a 2 bit group of HACKS like JOURNEY ? I mean c'mon ! they contributed more to the pussification of Rock and Roll than anyone this side of..........( wait, maybe I'd better not go THERE !!!! )

Just wait until Yogi and Froy hear about this !!!!!!

[Angiekay]

Maybe it should be made fair to all the whiners and whinees involved and put everything in alphabetical order.

[classicstyxfan]

Wasn't Steve Perry Manilow Journey's lead singer for a while ????

He wrote, Open Arms and Weekend in New England didn't he ????

Egad NO!! I'm one of "those" people that have no life and that comes to this board all the time 24/7 (LOL) I need to keep STYX somewhere on top when I come here.

Hey and I love to whine, that's my middle name - LOL
