Sorry, but it's just MORE silly stupid stuff, IMO. And IMO, the Cat is NOT what it 'used to be'. It used to be a GREAT place to make friends, now, don't try that. You'll just get shot down.

Just copy cat stuff, flames and trolls even in the Music section and stupid stuff from fake Guests like the above.

I'm sorry, but it's really, truly gone all clannish, and NO amounts of reading, searching, etc, is ever going to fix that. If you aren't an In Member, you get flamed. I've seen it too many times.

Another thing is that 'crap' singers are TERRIBLY over appreciated, while 'just instrumentalsists' are treated as garbage no matter HOW GOOD they are. You better SING or you are NOTHING here.

I've SEEN and experienced this and at least one VERY good picker has pretty much left because of it.

Stuff can also get REAL personal too....and some people can truly get away with ANYTHING, even personal attacks while others can't even use a consistent 'guest' name without it being stolen.

I will continue to post once in a while, but as a Guest. I will log in once in a while to collect PM stuff.

It's not really the Mudcat, it's just SOME MudCATTERS and SOME admin people.

The DT continues to be invaluable even for non singers like me.
