The hub is down....its gone...either that- or its just another act by the secret elitist bastards here.
Of the many problems here, there is one in particular...the elitest control over the music. Sure, plenty of people share...but the way I see it is that lots of people like to stick togeter and form stupid little groups and share all the music they want together and keep everyone else out. This is exactly the way it happens on every italo hub out there. I enjoyed this place because it didnt require you to be an elitest jerk to be a part of it...apparantly those rules have changed. Im sure that the hub is still open...and its still alive. Only Tiger has finally become so elitest, that not only does he think Im so inferior that he no longer answers my NICE and cooperative emails, but no- he wants to deny me and plenty more he lumps in the same category as me the freedom to share the music and to gain access to long since impossible to find records.
Sure I post a lot about random shit. I dont offer 2 cents worth of input as far as intellectual discussion goes. Sure I post about doing stupid stuff like drugs a lot.
I think its funny and entertaining. Thats why I post what I post...but nope. The elite here...consider it an imperfection in the eyes of the apparant New Wave Gods. Apparantly Im unworthy to hear that super rare record you own, because Im too immature or some other bullshit. No matterwhat I do- you all manage to find a way to screw me out of it...then not tell me about it.
This elitest bullshit has fucked this place over. And why the hell hasnt anyone stepped up to the plate and started putting a team together to get a new hub going?
I'd love to start...I'd love to help. But nope- everything I say is blacklisted as drug induced, thoughtless, or just plain meaningless...because in your eyes- I dont give a shit about or listen to new wave--just because Im different from the rest of you.
Whatever- someone will delete this post and just file me under 'inconsiderate asshole' or 'immature fuck'. Ive been on this site longer than nearly everyone here. New Wave is my god-damned life and Im not staying around to see more elitest bullshit tear my only home apart.

Frayo, I'd like to preface my post with the fact that I think you're a nice guy, bright, you bring alot of humor to the boards and we have had many an engaging conversation both on the Hub and on AIM. I hate to see you out of sorts this way.
That being said, you Tiger-Hub related posts lately (especially this one) have been a little out of sync with the reality of the situation and unconstructive in achieving any beneficial goal. You really should approach Tiger offline if you feel so slighted. You never know, it may just be some simple misunderstanding. I'm going out on a liimb here as I don't normally care to get involved with personal tifs but Tiger very generously provided a service to the general public here and these slanderous remarks about him are really uncalled for. There were people who expected a generally thankless job from him with a 24/7 immediate response policy complete with technical support. All this from a guy who does this as a hobby in his spare time for free, with a full time job and small kids to take care of? You can't really blame him for what he did. Come on Frayo, there's more to this picture than just how you feel. Your comments are divisive and tarnishing to Tiger. That's not fair.
And all this talk of elitism (and I know it's not only you) just poisons the groovy, laid back vibe of the NWO. This makes people paranoid and apprehensive. Is that what you want to do to your "only home"? And if you're really having such a bad time here, does everyone have to feel it too? I see alot of people (including people I don't really know) chatting jovially all over this website but I never feel "excluded". Most people don't - they don't care! I wish you would'nt interrnalize any of what you see here. It's all pretty benevolent stuff.
Now did'nt HorrorGirl volunteer to host a new Hub? How's that going? Why don'y you e-mail her directly Frayo! And everybody else who thinks she should do this. Hopefully She can get in touch with Tiger to work on the finer points of hosting setup. I'd love to see this too. Just remember everybody, getting free music is'nt a "right", it's more like a gift.
