For what it's worth here is my blah blah take as an unknown but long time member.
Very true. Except for the pain in the ass part. It's.. really easy.
I didn't discover the Ch0 or other sections besides BRICKSLAYERS until long after joining. Never wondered what was there.
I bought the 12oz magazines when they came out. $5. It was a really elegant take on a graffiti magazine. When the internet became common I was mind blown that one can see graffiti photos essentially for free on graffiti.org. Then this started. Fun to see, share and steal photos constantly on the NYC thread and read the shit talk. Even after it was influxed with toys.
Then there was a series of down times and the crazy 'Viagra/Cialis' hack and everyone in BRICKSLAYERS got spooked. Since then only a few people post.
Shitty that that happened.
This is the first graffiti photo I 'downloaded' from the 'internet'. It took 45 minutes and appeared line by line. Still at the same address.
I've been mostly a lurker all along.
Seems to me that now all the bad shit (bullying, arguing, grotesque images, racism, sexism, homophobia) is gone.. it's just not as interesting...
In the US we're being told ISIS is the crack of Islamic extremism..
Where was Al Bagdaddi a year ago? All of a sudden he is the leader of the most vital threat to the US?
I was researching some shit and stumbled upon a flik worthy of posting in here
My god shit has changed in here. So cold. Thanks to nycisdead106 for creating a better than ever thread. If all the shit you posted could be compiled in a permanent volume like Encyclopedia Britannica I buy it in an instant.
