Well, I'll be damned...

After casually deciding to scope my profile information for no apparent reason, I realized that as of about five days ago, I’ve been a member of Prongs for a year.

Wow. An entire YEAR, man.

And looking back upon it, I feel that it’s been one hell of a year, indeed. Sure, it’s had more than its share of God-awful tragedies, but MAN, have the triumphs been spectacular… and I feel that in some weird way, Prongs has been a minor, but welcome, factor in it all.

In the past year, I’ve discovered more music than I previously thought existed. I’ve purchased more albums than I have my entire life. I’ve fileshared so much it ought to be criminal. [:)]

And all this music and music-related discussion has given me focus, has given me muse… has given me some weird sense of happiness, anger, and hope all liquified and compressed into one utterly insane whole.

And I totally dig it.

And for some crazy reason… I’ve got Prongs, and everyone therein, to thank for it.

From Afra and Bisquitodoom, for making this all happen; to those of you like 1002, grmpysmrf, gila, Revco, voidhead and too many more to name for exposing me to so much sonically-driven awesomeness; and even to you less-than-reputables like Jizzwad and MaggitTooth whose inane (and oft logical) banter fills me with this weird, sickening humor…

Prongs fucking rules.

It’s been a hell of a year… Here’s to many more!

for some reason I thought it’s been longer than a year!
glad to see you like it around here.
This is a special board to me because of the small amount of members. It works better that way. Conversations are coherent and often intelligent on certain issues. And of course, there’s a great diverse taste in music as well.
I’ve been posting here (probably not as frequently as I used to) since probably 2000…the time flies man.

Time flies on this board, that’s for sure. I’m glad you’ve stuck around, you certainly fit right in with this band of misfits and malcontents. :wink: Only a year? Seems like you’ve been around much longer. With Ministry’s career in the books (allegedly), it should be interesting to see how this forum changes over the next couple of years. Cheers to a fellow AZ Pronger!

Happy 1 year birthday! I do have to admit that I get more enjoyment out of Prongs than any other message board. I pop around to a few others now and again, but the limited number and general of posters helps to make Prongs a step above other boards.

I just checked I’m a two and a half year-er, though I’d been lurking before then.

cool…1 year…keep comin’ back.

Long live prongs bitches!

Yeah, you came on pretty strong in the beginning. I wasn’t sure you were gonna make it, but glad you did. You’ve had more than two cent to offer which has been pretty good!

I’m not gonna start a new thread. My Suns got eliminated tonight by the Spurs. I’m drunk. I’m pissed. Now I can focus on finishing this fucking record. Oh, Icepick, hope you like Borghesia, because I’m sending you their discography along with the Click Click albums. Lots of goooood industrial to ad to your collection. Gotta crash now. Damn you, Stone IPA!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Never heard anything by them, but seen the occasional namedrop here and there on the boards. You kick a previously unheard of level of ass, good sir, and I look forward to all this sexy audio goodness!

Thanks guys for making this board what it is. 3 months, a year, 5 years, and more - all types here and it’s awesome.

What I love most about this board is, yeah, there may be an issue with something put out by Ministry, or some board member, but it’s quickly buried and we move on to other things. You don’t get this on any other boards I’ve seen. You don’t get many threads on here over 5 pages.

Also, it’s brutally honest. Nothing is spared here! Jizzy’s jumping onto it like white on rice if there is anything that hasn’t been said that should. Talking of which, Peligro still hanging around here?

I’ve even seen members on this forum posting stuff about prongs on other forums (nin, litany, etc), which is cool.

Thank you guys and there will be many more years ahead of us. We haven’t really been an intense Ministry forum for a couple of years. We’re not going anywhere.

Ha! Not surprised - enlighten me. City forums?

since were turning this thread into a regular dick suckfest I’ll jump in here, i got some power in my jaws!

I gotta tell ya- after two hours of my city’s local forums ( I’ve been banned from all of them ) , I run screaming with a full blown hard-on for this site.

I thought this line was hilarious! i envisioned a homer simpson type character running down a barely lit street with his tongue hanging out and pitching the biggest tent any one has ever seen! (see the “Mr. burns goes on Viagra” episode specifically where homer is running up the stairs with marge!-O.T. anybody else think marge is kinda cute with her hair down?)

I like to think of jizzy as master of his own destiny…about 4-5 months back this fucker said i would grow to love him…i don’t love him, but now that we’re not butting heads he is more than amusing (that ignore button scared the shit out of you huh buddy?! j/k) he seems more like stephen colbert now, rather than comic book guy from the simpsons
