Because Chico persists in burying what has occurred in the past, suggesting that The Board (which is to say, the individuals who comprise the membership itself) is irrelevant to the success of Alvarez or his website, it has occurred to me to make a list of what THE BOARD MADE HAPPEN. These are things that the membership, not Bryan, Vinnie, Dave, or anyone else, made happen; but the membership of the site created or would not have happened without them in some fashion, almost all of whom expressed their creation through the use of the board.
THINGS THE BOARD MADE HAPPEN:
*900+ songs, drops, and audio files (available at angrymarks.com)
*Hundreds of Shout-Outs (Unknown how many paid for, but I bet Bryan does)
*Questions for Karl Stern, Lance Storm, Granny, Every Other Guest Ever
*THE MAILBAG SHOW ITSELF
*The Anchor World Order
*Vegas Trip I
*Vegas Trip II
*Orlando
*THE BRYAN V. VINNY BATTEL (which also put $5,000+ into their pockets)
Anyone else got anything?

I really think Stevie J needs to pull the drop board for a day, like tomorrow so no B and V drops. I've heard this suggestion a few times in the last few weeks, even before the board mod shit hit the fan, so I'd like to address a few reasons why this isn't practical. 1. It's not really an F4W drop folder per se. At one time the folder was called "f4wmusic" but I changed that when Chico irritated me a year or two ago. That's why in any link to it I make I call it the "Wrestling Drops Archive." It's for everyone, not just Bryan. 2. I tend to link to songs and drops when I'm writing reviews or recapping wrestling shows just for laughs. If I pulled the archive I'd suddenly have a bunch of broken links on my site and it would lower the quality of my work as a whole. 3. Board songs used to just be about B&V or Iron Sheik, but they've evolved over the years into musical creations all their own. I think these songs represent the creativity of wrestling fans as a whole, not just the Empire. Case in point - when Bryan tried to do a song on his own it was laughable... laughably bad. A "Barrel of Monkeys" indeed. Keeping the songs up is for the artists who create them so they can continue to be enjoyed by anyone who visits the archive. Perhaps in the future I'll consider moving the archive. It may not last forever anyway - if WWE complains about the samples in some of the songs it could all be gone. You never know when they might decide to be pricks about that sort of thing. They've had it done to them (Ventura once won a million dollar lawsuit for them using his voice without his permission) so they wouldn't be shy about doing it to anybody else. My boy Killa Kev had the first official Mickie James website before she ever signed a WWE contract, and you should have seen the mountain of legalese they sent him trying to get his site revoked, removed, suspended or sued out of existance. |
