Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[DanTSX]

No sense hanging around here anymore...I am sure Art is more worried about the Typhoon in the Phillipines. Gotta make sure his future home does not turn into a swamp. Weird huh? He has a Home in a Desert....and one in a very moist tropical climate.

Art's PI condo is like 60 floors up.

I don't think he has to worry.

I'm sure he was thinking more about radio reception, than floods when he bought though.

Man, I really could have used a Mr. Fidget to help me get through this week.

IIRC the guy said that joining was a rigorous process..

BellGab is starting to go down again.

I swear ..i almost threw my ipad across the room trying to post

[AppealPlay]

BellGab is starting to go down again.

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing that.  Maybe we should demand the right to host BellGab ourselves and quit when the forum operator says no?

BellGab is starting to go down again.

It's chugging pretty hard, and whitescreening.

Oh God this song just came on:

depeche mode - shake the disease (1985)

It says everything.

I understand you now, art bell. Damn. How could've I be so blind?

We need to give MV an ultimatum.  We're all in this time.

[bateman]

[Asadora]

Kind Regards!

I know that this forum operates on a "free" model here, but I'd like to make the demand that I take the website and put it behind a paywall.

I'm sure MV will agree, or else, I'm walking away, folks.  That's all she wrote.  Sayonara.  Zai-jin!

I deal with pain by making jokes. 

I think it should go viral. But, usually an artist is a poor judge of his own work sometimes.

No more need to test?

I have a bad feeling about this.

[lightningline]

You guys ARE looking in the "cool" section, right?

It was a test and it is over..it just says thankyou for all the inputs...well over 1000 in a few hours

[Heather Wade]

GREEAAAAAAAAAAT.

Same reaction here.  Now what?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Concur.

If this request is granted we'll be rocking and rolling.  If it's denied, well...I'm not sure the forum will be viable any longer.

MV, correct on all counts plus so much more that can't even be touch on here.

Some members are disturbed and clutching there pearls because of what people TYPE about Art, an adult millionaire who is behaving badly... unreal.  :
They would spew, brown note, and faint all at the same time if they had any idea what life is like in the "3rd world". Exiting the plane almost seems like you flew to another planet. Most of us in the 1st world really lead a charmed life in so many ways without knowing it, simply because we won the vagina lottery...you have seen that firsthand though.

Cheap prices, lots of selection, a virtual Wal-Mart of women. Bootstrapping family out of hunger.... priceless.
True Tea bagger utopia.

Mabuhay! Life is good.

Typhoon Haiyan...  PI god bless, o lord.

The third world can be a pretty damn fucking awesome place if you are a rich white guy.

Didn't you hear the knowing non-vocalized communications during Bell's interview with that nut job sociopath John McAffee?   

After I bank my first $10M in liquid assets, I'm going to Zimbabwe.  The suburbs north of Harare are stunning.  I could live like a King for the rest of my life.  Probably take the place over if I felt like it.

They were looking for feedback regarding how well icecast could support a variety of devices and listeners. judging by the feedback on here and on facebook, an overwhelming majority of users experienced no problems streaming it on a variety of devices including pcs, macs, iphone, ipods, android phones/tablets, rokus, internet radios, etc.

We will still have George to take down a peg or six.

[nooryisawesome]

[DanTSX]

What the fuck is playing on the livestream now?

This guy sounds like a muppet.  A muppet reading Carl Sagan.

Is this Michiu Kaku?

This forum was fine before Dark Matter. We'll just go back to endlessly mocking George Noory and wishing for yet another Art Bell return somewhere down the line.

[Heather Wade]

I can't even laugh that hard, I'mma bust my guts out.   
Funny 'cause it's troof.

That's all good and well but the link you provided above often showed only 100 to max 350 people on at once.

Could it handle thousands? Not sure what the amount of people listening live online is but could it handle it?

It...it was a joke...
