let's stick with this thread, regardless of what was then a poll thread.

While I won't side with Artie or say in fairness to him, it is true that he has established a precedent of turning his polls for singles threads into threads for that single once the single has been determined. And unlike with the Kings Of Leon poll, he set this one up to close so I thought it was obvious he was going to turn this into a thread for the next Saving Abel single.
In other news, Artie won't reply to my message asking whether he had a facebook so I could add him there. That's right Ziff, you can't ignore me when I call you out publicly, can you. :)
He probably will.

Well, you knew damn well this was going to turn into the next single discussion. Starting a duplicate makes no sense. Save the curses for somebody who actually might care.
As for Hopeless, it's a single with a release date. I'll trust the source.
Sorry, jvandyck87, I never think of checking the mailbox here. I'll read it and get back to you.

*predicts Artie's repsonse to Jamie* And yeah, I think everyone knew Artie was gonna turn this into a single thread. A poll for the next A7X single is probably what he's planning right now.

^Well, NOW he is lol. But I'm not so sure Artie is into A7X as much as Saving Abel. That's what I gather at least from his choices in threads he starts and the way he votes in polls.
Hehe he responded by saying he hasn't used facebook in four years so I guess we're all behind the times. Facebook is SO fifteen minutes ago.

Haha, I assume that means Avenged Sevenfold? No, I won't do that. Although I think I did start the Dead God/Dear God one because it was such an unusual song.
I only start the polls when there's a noticeable gap between singles. It's not like they're going all over the place with every band, not interested in that.
And when Facebook turned into an online gaming site that allowed kids on, it pretty much lost its effectiveness for me.

You started the Cage the Elephant, Kings of Leon & Saving Abel ones when they still had songs on the chart. Actually, "Shake Me Down" is still rising on Active. Ah I assume you'd appreciate Facebook more if it was an adult dating service? I'm not a fan of it either to be fair.

No, didn't start a poll for Hellyeah or Alter Bridge. I don't think, anyway. The ones I did start had bands with songs that had all lost their Alternative bullets. And since the poll feature is there, I'm not really sure why it's an issue. They're on topic, related to radio and the format, and get people discussing the next songs.
I appreciated Facebook when it had a purpose of connecting classmates at University and has since turned into Disneyland / Las Vegas. Not for me. And I don't need any help from a dating service, thank you much.

I was asking if you were going to? Ok, then what poll are you planning next? Once again untrue... "Shake Me Down" had a bullet on Alt as recently as yesterday. "All American Nightmare" still had a bullet too, so you can no longer play that card. Oh, the only issue is you releasing false statements. I have no problem with the polls, really.
You can still use Facebook for that purpose, but OK. I don't use it either anymore, anyway. Hehe ok then, Artie.

He doesn't need a dating service when he has this board right here to meet all the lassies, amirite?
Btw Artie (if that's your real name), I sent you another message. ;)

Haha I'm guessing not, as he doesn't tend to venture outside of this board, although he could just have deleted all his comments. It wouldn't surprise me if he actually looked like this. Yes, I've posted this picture before, but you gotta love the fact that he named his alias on here after a cartoon character who struggles with the ladies.

I agree. But I wouldn't be surprised if they threw Tap Out as a rocking goodbye to the cycle.
