G+ uses your ID number from your profile URL.

 

The url as it will be displayed is something like https://plus.google.com/u/0/109130806570160085984/posts (this is mine). And that long number is all you need to enter.

 

I need to make some redundancy rules in case you enter the wrong thing or the whole url in the name but my php isn't very good...if the new buttons behave a bit weirdly for a few weeks bear with me :)

Dear Niall,

 

Stress of finals. This is for a B.Arch, how the fuck did you manage to get through a Masters/PhD/whatever it was you did (I forgot.)

 

FML.

Neil.

 

I did a bachelors, now doing a PhD, not finished yet, so erm, let's see... :D

Cheers :D for muse.mu you click "next" then "previous" on your profile and it returns your profile as if viewed by another member. Bit obscure.

 

Yeah Pinterest looks awful, I'll gonna replace that one soon.

I see I may have promted your biannual google plus sign in Kev :LOL:

 

Google Plus is alright...but facebook and twitter are already there. And all my stuff is there. Like Breezehome in Skyrim. It's not that pretty, doesn't have all the features you want, isn't very private, and there's a really annoying girl there who won't shut up, but you're already settled.

G+ is quality! Just no one uses it which makes it shit

 

Well it was about 5 years late to the game and it's missing a crucial component to being a successful social networking site: Human Beings. I think more people use this board than Google +.

yeah i had a quick poke! it's such a ghost town, nothing sadder than a dead social network is there? esepcially when they have a nice ui. I think the only people that use it are Google employees :LOL:

 

Good find on the .mu profile id, I couldn't work it out at all

Dear Niall,

why can't we keep the 6th album thread open but heavily moderated? i mean, just delete or move irrelevant posts? can someone go through and sift the banter? it is hard to get the bits on the new album out of it, or actually anywhere in one place. Musewiki is a digest, but it misses a lot of interesting stuff

We (the mods) have talked about it over and over and have all agreed to keep it closed for now, because there's no reason for it to be open as a thread. Things on twitter can go in the Muse on Twitter thread, other articles go in Muse In The Media.

 

If there's something beyond that that should be talked about then by all means say, but at the moment there's nothing happening so with a thread that always goes off topic we agreed it's best to keep it locked. When we get any kind of real news on the new album we'll open a new forum where threads concerning everything about it can be made.

 

And of course if something is missing on Musewiki, please do add it :)

Well, I would like to discuss things like Supremacy and "Born to run", Chris writing a piano-based song and gather other ideas and info, and i believe with good moderation, the thread can stay open

 

or may be you know better and with the current audience on the forum it is impossible

 

then i will have to resort to muselive :sigh:

It's not that we don't want discussion of it, and speculation about all the things you listed are also nice, but the thread has been around since about early 2011 and people just keep abusing it. We've dished out warnings and infractions, deleted off-topic posts, numerous times posted in the threads yet people still kept pushing it too far.

 

There's no genuine news right now about the album - a couple of song names have been said and there's also a few rumours floating around - and until there is, we're going to keep it closed as people ruined it for everyone else. We can't always just moderate that thread. It moves very quickly and as such only takes all of a couple of minutes to fly violently off-topic. We have lives outside moderating this board!

 

If people can't even keep on-topic in the Twitter thread when there IS Twitter news, I don't think that's exactly a good incentive to open the sixth album thread again, especially with news only coming once every few days.

Understandable but people discussing whether or not the album will be a concept album or people trying to piece together the ordering of songs to fit some grand scheme doesn't really fit in the twitter thread. If anything locking the 6th album discussion has made other threads go off topic as well.

 

I'll admit the 6th album thread did go off topic many times. It's not as though it was always off topic though. It would happen and there would be a page of it and then it would go back on topic. An easy solution to that (which I might add has been suggested by many people before me) is to simply edit the first post in the thread. It has only been edited once and could do with a bit more information.

I know what you mean by that, but it's mainly because a lot of these rumours have come from Twitter. As far as I know, it's a thread about anything Musey on Twitter. I know it has actually dragged other threads off-topic too, but not as much as if the sixth album thread was open. It's more that it can't be trusted to be left for long than a few hours without someone talking about their cat dancing to Coldplay or whatever.

 

That is a good suggestion, but again, we don't have all the time in the world and we also don't know what's fact and what's rumour. It's nice to speculate, but feeding rumours isn't exactly a good way to roll and we've only got very few facts at the moment. As soon as we get our first major piece of news, it'll be straight open (except if that announcement is a tour, at which point the gig speculation thread will be the relevant thread).

 

I know it's frustrating and I know a lot of people are missing out but there's going to be a crapload of new people coming in soon and the last thing we want is newbies thinking it's okay to vomit off-topic stuff or to follow the lead.

Holy crap I just realized that Muse's albums all join together to form a story!!!:

 

Showbiz: The beginning of the world, Sunburn represents Adam and Eve, Fillip represents Noah's arc, Hate This represents Jesus.

 

Origin: Shows how the world evolved. New Born represents the new beginnings with Jesus's death, Bliss represents Easter, Megalomania represents Midevil times and tyranny with kings.

 

Absolution: Introduction of the new world complete with paranoia, conspiracies, and war. The horrible ordering of the album explains why WWII is at the beginning.

 

BHaR: Post war world, TaB is the end of WWII, Starlight is the celebrations. Knights of Cydonia represents the new planets found in space and shit, segues into...

 

TR: The future when an attempted Uprising on the government turns into 1984. Love becomes rebellious again (1984 and crap again) when suddenly the world ends (EXO)

 

Sixth album: Whatever happens once the world (probably) begins again.

 

There is an animal on this list called a "koodoo", which rhymes with "Hoodoo".

 

So Kirk must be saying that the album will be most like BHaR?!?!?!

 

Sigmund also believes that your speculation of every Muse album being about Matt's desire for his mother is really projection of your own desire for your mother.

 

He did say in an interview last year he was inspired by pink floyd dark side of the moon..

 

Clearly the first video will feature mollusk porn.

 

All those are from the Twitter thread. And that was just one and a half page. The thread has absolutely nothing to do with Twitter anymore. The 6th album thread might as well be opened up. I realize you don't have time to infract everyone (nor should you have to) but the amount of off-topicness caused by closing the 6th album thread far outweighs the off-topic that was in that thread. It would take maybe 5 minutes to edit the first post of the thread. If you don't want to use rumours that's fine but what you can do is separate facts and rumours in the first posts. Make it the distinction clear.

 

Something like this: http://www.musewiki.org/Fourth_album_theory

Obviously not as long/complicated (due to your lack of time) but something similar to just mention what we know for certain and what rumours we have (that are credible).

YOU ARE NOT A MOD, so therefore do not understand the precise intricacies of what it is to open the hell hole that is...

 

... the sixth album thread.

 

tl;dr fuck off no one cares :awesome:
