Many years ago, we had a online soccer match with then Pizz Army vs Themelvins.net and I was the instigator, under SchnabelA. I remember some of the Ministrys jumping on the thread and that some even registered over at themelvins.net/forum, amongst other a lady named Budthechud, from Scotland. This is another messageboard I guess, but are there any left from Pizz Army and is Budthechud and others from that time still active?
Bud is still around. She just doesn’t consume her time with Ministry or the boards thereof anymore. She got married to a really cool cat about 5 years back, and I guess their priorities changed. I can PM you her FB link if you’re interested in tracking her down and saying hi.
I remember you from Piss Army. As I recall you had a pretty funny schtick going on about your mullet and how females were powerless against it or something.
I didn’t get involved in the cross-board feuds as I was too busy creating all kinds of drama on the Piss Army alone, both as “JW” (my primary) and also with a countless roster of various other characters I’d developed.
Anyway, good to see you, Brother. I made a crap ton of lifelong friends from that silly Piss Army board, by the way, so if there’s anyone else you are ever searching for just let me know. There’s a good chance I still know the person in real life.
This group always cracks me up in that sense. It’s seriously the biggest sausage party on the Internet. Every other Ministry site I’ve ever been on is loaded with ladies and a majority of the friends I’ve made through such bulletin boards, chat groups, and fan pages have been women. And there’s a decent bunch of them at the shows too. But this place always remains a sausage party.
You can find more women on the Ultimate Fighting, chewing tobacco, jock strap, or testicular cancer forums than you will in this wasteland of floppy schlongs.
I don’t know, DJ. The only thing I could ever really chalk it up to is that women are generally more interested in the social aspect of such boards and, while I’ve met a few really cool Prongers, it’s typically been a bit more focused here on the music, bands, etc. and less about making friends and having any outside relations and get togethers.
I dont think i entirely agree with your analysis gunnar. I post bere for the social aspect of the board. When i talk about people here on the board to my wife or whomever, i refer to them as “my friend on prongs.” So, yeah, while ive only met a couple peeps from the board, even the ones i havent met in real life, i still feel a little bond with them and refer to them as a friend.
That being said the board is a bit slow these days and i have father and husband responsibilities to tend to so that combined with slow board means i dont have much time to post anymore, but i do miss the social aspect that i got from prongs prior. I would like to think im not the only one.
I never said there wasn’t a social aspect to it.
And I think it’s actually a quite different vibe to it than it used to have 10 years back. People really seemed to be kind of lodged up their own butts back in the day. I was actually quite turned off by it.
But, yeah, there’s some really cool cats here.
But I just think if you compare this place over time to others this one seems to be a little more focused on actual exchange of information and ideas whereas others are a bit less concerned about content, data, and information and more interested with slapping each other on the ass and having a laugh. I think this group is a little more intellectually based.

Ah, I got you. I guess I misunderstood what you were getting at. Yea, I would agree with this, now that you’ve dumbed it down for me. [;)]

This reply had me litterarly in tears with laughter yesterday, Gunnar, cause its the excact same problem that has been discussed at Themelvins.net, theres even been own threads about sausage fest. We have female members, but only a couple post from time to time.
Regarding opening up for other discussions than just Melvins, our admin opened up the following sections, Ecumenical discussions (for general bullshit), Music and Show reviews. At Ecumenical anything can happen, we discuss bullshit, what we are doing right now, entertaining videoclips, ongoing sports events, minor complaints, major complaints. Since were "hiding" behinds nicks and avs like you guys, its a very welcome place for many to come out with problems you don`t throw out on Facebook. I seriously think that has helped some, on some occasions.
A bbs, like this and that one, has it`s own life, good to see that the tone is still humorous and upgoing here, with quality responding!

Were you typing this at work? Typing while eating your lunch perhaps?? Taking a well earned break? Snug as a bug in yr little cubicle? Did you get gravy on your tie by any chance?
Did you? Did you???

PM me about that Korean bbq thingy.
Oh and if you see Chantelle, tell her “WASSUUUP!!!”. She’ll know what you’re talking about.
Aaah…there’s still life in this ol’ party yet, isn’t there? It’s going to be just like old times again. Just like old times!!!
I wish I could muster up the effort to even try to respond to your posts, Peligro, but it’s just . . . it’s just tragic. I really miss you, Dude. Your scorn used to be clever and targeted and legit seeming. Now I can’t even find the jokes. I don’t know if I’m supposed to be hurt or laugh or what. It’s just too dull. Reading through it literally felt tiring.
Ever since Grumpy outed you for being all of Australia you’ve just seemed lost. I hope you can find that fire in your belly once again and return to us once more.

Peligro is clearly wrestling with some demons. He no longer seems like the same guy. He shows up, barely, and engages in really uninspired put downs. You used to be clever before, Peligro, what happened?
He really is just barely a ghost of what he was. It makes me sad. I want the old Peligro back, full of fire and piss and charging at us with all teeth and daggers. This Peligro2.0 is just . . . . it’s just depressing.
You used to be clever before, Peligro, what happened?
Oh. Hey Grmpy. Didn’t see you there.
<sips coffee>
Well…let’s see. I suppose life is good now. Before it was…not so good. Therefore the “fire” that’s been so eloquently hinted at, has been more or less been reduced to a mere spark as I don’t have anymore need for it. A mere spark, Grmps, that’s all I got for you.
I suppose if I really went out of my way and mustered up some good ol’ fashioned hatred I could match some of the old bile…but there’s no guarantees it would be like before.
There must be something in this world that pisses me off…

If I believed any of this I’d be back in seconds. We all know that’s bullshit though…[/reply]
Not sure why you think either Grumpy or I would lie about that. We had a blast with you, Dude. But, if the death of Old Peligro signals a new era of peace and happiness for you offline, that’s great and we wish you all the best.

Yeah my posting has slowed waaaaaay down. but I still look in every day.
So, what has happened to put you on the up side of life?
Although, if things are so sunny with you why do you show up with these uninspired insults? Man, you used to come out blazing with these high society snobby retorts that in retrospect were really fun to read, and now it’s just these sad “you’re ugly and bite the fart bubbles in the bath tub” type insults. I obviously don’t speak for the board but I personally miss you. Your posts were so ridiculously self absorbed and/or pretentious and you were so confident in your opinions but now you’re like a fuckin puppy that barely has any will to fight but puts out this sad little growl attempting to fool anybody within ear shot. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Oh captain my captain…
