I'm pretty sure our definitions of "dismissive" are different. Thanks for the explanation.j$ wrote:But to be dismissive about a thread in which a dozen songfighters have taken the time to do cover versions of/songs for other songfighters for no other reason than they like the songfighters in question deserves better than 'whatever Hxaro is supposed to be', in my opinion.
Basically the old "Hxaro" thread was taken over as a place to stick covers done for just the heck of it, eh? That's fine, and now this sort of thing has its own forum, so quit bitching at the admin for being a little stressed and testy.

yeah, apologies for that. I was a bit tetchy first thing this morning, myself. Will try to grant people I don't know the benefit of the doubt from now on.jb wrote: Basically the old "Hxaro" thread was taken over as a place to stick covers done for just the heck of it, eh?

Does this tribe use roman characters for writing? If not, why the fuck is it spelled hxaro and not schwaro?

oh they all love eachother... it's just their way of showing it... ... so no need to be a noob that calls everyone rude... unless you want it pointed towards you O_o...Aunt Bee wrote:I just found Songfight and found this message board from the main website. I was intrigued by this "Songlove" and found it to be filled with nothing but hate and profanity. Why is this administrator so bitter and rude? And this Jack Shite person doesn't seem to be any better. Who would call themselves Jack Shite anyways? Where's the love here?
Aunt Bee

I think it's because so many people just use it to mean anything at all. In the Western world there is precious little that people are expected to do on such a basic level that you really *have* to do it, even though there is no law requiring you to do so. Hxaro seems to be about building bonds between people because you both do something for each other, and you can both remember the nice thing that each one did for the other. I don't think it's about any sort of "pay it forward" karmic pyramid-scheme where you end up doing something nice for someone else, and I don't think it's something where someone does something nice for you, and then you do nothing, because you don't really have to. Reciprocation seems key to Hxaro.Poor June wrote:i've seen 'hraxo' used so many times... and still the meaning of it... escapes my grasp of knowledge O_o
But doing covers for people, whether or not they reciprocate with anything at all, is nice.
awesome. thanks for the order, dude.

This goes way back to when we had the "theme-song" fight. I promised a theme song to Bortwein for all the graphic stuff he's done for me (and so many other people).
anyway, I finally got off my butt and did one.
here it is:

kinda hxaro, i guess.
