Irish-Kiltie Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Can anyone out there point me to a spot on the internet where one can read RAMD and the like? I used to read them all the time in college but have not been out there in years. I tried to run a Google search, but it seems like every link asks you to sign up for this or that before you can get access. I just want to read... is that so wrong? Seriously, if anyone can point me to a good place to read those groups I would appreciate it. Please email me direction or send me a PM here as these posts get burried pretty quick. Thanks in advance for your help, Ryan J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganhill Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 IMO, this particular RAMD site iis a disgrace to the drum corps activity. Unfortunately it is plagued with a select few depraved individuals who demoralize and degrade this site with their vulgar language, sex talk and slanderous rants and accusations. Once in a great while there are some intelligent postings relevant to the acitivity it was meant for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 That's been a gradual deterioration, morganhill. And it's too bad, really, because RAMD is where I got started talking about drum corps with other people who love drum corps, and there were some wonderful discussions. In fact, a lot of the questions and issues we debate on DCP have already been discussed probably multiple times on RAMD, and a search through the Google will turn up those discussions and some of the really insightful answers people gave. So RAMD certainly isn't all bad. But I have to say that now I greatly prefer DCP, mainly because of the direction I saw RAMD heading in. The personal attacks seemed to be mounting, and they were displacing the constructive discussion I had come to enjoy there. Which I think was the primary reason behind the creation of DCP. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hate to say it but what has happened to RAMD, especially the last few months, has changed my mind to be for moderated news groups. I joined after RAMDs "Glory Days" and still found a lot of info that I never knew before. What made it intersting is a lot of it came from people who related it first hand. And you'd be surprised who many names from RAMD I recognize on DCP. Now it's turned into the personal playground of a bunch of cross thread posting ####heads who post just to get a response form someone. Whadda bunch of losers.
