I'm not saying people aren't allowed to take influence from The Poe's chart and input this into their chart, but has anyone recently noticed how many new users are creating charts just like The Poe's within about one/two days of being on here. I mean, they're not just charts with various albums the same, no, it's usually the majority of the chart. I just find it too perplexing that they just come on here and pretty much imitate The Poe's chart instantly.

Thoughts?

There are worse users to copy.

Also, I think it is the same user who then gets banned.

I'm not saying that it's a bad user to copy.

Anyhow, it could be one person but there was more than one chart not banned when I last checked. It's just perplexing.

I just figured that he had some sort of weird cabal that migrated from one part of the internet to the other in unison. I imagine them all wearing hats like this to block any stray popular music from their surroundings:

Here's an explanation:


Plunderphonixx and I share similar interests in music. There's been some confusion in the past on BEA where Plunderphonixx was continually getting banned. It appears the mods believed Plunderphonixx to be the same person as thursdayeno, who also shares somewhat similar interests in music as me. Separate from Plunderphonixx, thursdayeno likes to occasionally stop by with various account names and make similar looking charts, often including Radiohead, Sepultura, Charles Mingus, and Sigur Ros in them, before inevitably getting recognized by a mod and then banned. Plunderphonixx (more originally Freakfolker17) also had a period of creating new accounts and making charts, sometimes also including those previously mentioned artists. Plunderphonixx has a more variety of tendencies, though, like taking a particular liking to Frantz Casseus, Mexican American-Indian music (specifically Yaqui), and Greek artists like Alekos Karavitis.

So anyway, since the confusion with Plunderphonixx/Freakfolker17 and thursdayeno (originally kidamnesiac!) is over, we'll probably see less of these mysterious "copycats". I don't believe they are copying me as much as we happen to use similar sources for a lot of our music, and we also use each other as sources, so naturally, our music charts look similar.



And the reality is, I'm totally a copycat of backyardgypsy. Also, AntiWarhol. And various other RYM users. Also blog sites. ...yea

It was thejoj they said they were. I have no idea where you/they got the thursdayeno thing from.
