Then go cry somewhere else, eveyrone is entitled to their opinion, Bandbaja was a worthless site when it came to promoting Pakistani music. Youre gonna send death threats to me or digital for saying that?

let me repeat: substantiate your allegations, or retract them
i gather that since you quoted my post without providing any substantiation of any of the serious claims you made against the site, that you have nothing as basis.
but given that i do not understand how lesser minds work, i'd like to have confirmation.
yes, or no?
let me quote what it says on the site main page...
**As a result of losing out to an eye blindingly dreadful website, constant bickering between power hungry team members and tons of hate mail - we’ve decided to call it a day.
Age at death: 6 months.**
Very unprofessional, they cant even appreciate what their team members did for their site, even if its a joke.

I can say whatever I want without justifying to you, so you can take that substantiation/retraction and shove it. I dont care if you dont know what ppl on fan sites thought about the site.

thanks.
to everyone else who doesnt understand what goes behind the inane musings of young spock: he does not have anything he can put forward to back up the only serious claim he made against bandbaja.
as far as im concerned, there is a serious credibility gap here. i didnt think people were immature enough to make up stuff and come gloriously announcing it to the rest of the planet.
here, i knew the guy, so i could put this specimen on the spot.
just goes to show.

Yeah, this is why this chamcha from bandbaja is crying. If it was such a professionally run site, what happened to it now?

consider this the part where you start to discover things on your own. or go to one of those forums you talked about.
This is what Sheryar Ahmed had to say about it after he was told they nominated junoon for a few awards
**Very interesting for a website dedicated to promoting EP! It is like EP’s own fansite! Look at the way they trash Junoon every chance they get!
Haven’t read a single article there that is positive about Junoon. I wonder why? They are like a generation of NFP clones, built stronger, WITH grammar skills this time!

ravage 
Another interesting fact pointed out by someone on another forum
**
Safwat Saleem is the brainchild behind bandbaja everyone knows this. He is also is designer of e.p's cover and the recording package. He is the owner of hypestation e.p's site. He is also the running e.p's offical site and forums.
The articles on bandbaja are too e.p friendly, always praising them and no article so far told us e.p's minus points. No article on bandbaja has told us about e.p's crap live performances. E.p grabbed the most four awards. This is enough to tell bandbaja is not fair.

I understand now why you were so coy about stating the basis in your claims. utter bs.
your first post, quoting lest you edit it,

key word: 'like'. you can allege that the authors like ep, rave about it, i dont give a crap. its your opinion. fine, hes smarting that they dont like junoon, again, alright with me. smoulder away.
your second post, again, quoting for your benefit,

im sure 'everyone' immediately went ahead to the logical conclusion that bandbaja is a site financed and run by those running ep. im also reasonably certain that 'everyone' comprises those who consider a random poster on a random forum on a random site provider of Divine gospel.

perhaps the authors didnt find ep's live performances crap? perhaps people deemed ep good enough to grab the four awards?
you may hold an opinion that they are biased towards EP and thats all good as far as im concerned. you cannot state that it IS a promotional site unless you can show that it is one.
jeez i have to lecture you on how to think now !
ravage, quit crying, I am not a fan of bandbaja, and alot of other people (including some prominent band managers) arent, now that I have proven to you.
I dont care if you are not a fan of bandbaja, nor do I care about band managers. You and they may think whatever you want about it. I have proven though that you were sprouting BS when you repeatedly made those allegations.
Hopefully you'll be more responsible next time.

Now that I have proven to you what people think about bandbaja (which you were openly asking for me to do so), you have taken a U-turn! Let me sum up things for you...
-Band Baja Sucks
-Its run by EP promoters
-The fact that its now shut down and has an intriguing message about the team, and open admittance to losing out to another site speaks for itself
-Prominent band members, fans on various Pakistani forums have already voiced their opinions about their biased articles.
You guys seen Karachiunderground when it was there? Now that was a nice site.

i wasnt asking for more opinion. i was asking for a very specific piece of info that could be used to demonstrate the lack of journalistic integrity.
you provided two opinions, of two people, neither of whom withstood scrutiny.

you may say that all you want, doesnt warrant response from anyone. you're entitled to your opinion.

sadly, you come full circle, and repeat unsubstantiated claims.

If you dont care, then why are you questioning me 
? Now youre saying my posts were not scrutnized? I wish I could have posted the links here, but I dont want to get banned.

Honestly, I have no clue, as I didnt know anyone running it. I used to go there as a regular. Excellent site, very constructive criticism, and very unbiased. I am sure if you come across anyone who has seen it, you will get good reviews from them. This was two to three years ago.
