Andi Autopsy replied to Matric's discussion The Bridge in the group SteamGoth"I tend to get called steamgoth all the time I dont have a problem with it as I tend to enjoy both steampunk and goth. However I tend to be in agreement with both jason and ms chickering. Both tend to compliment each other."
Ms. Chickering replied to Matric's discussion The Bridge in the group SteamGoth"I don't know that I would call it a "lighter" version of steampunk. To me it's more like the fantasy version of steampunk: steamgoth is to fantasy what steampunk is to scifi."

Matric replied to Sky Captain Gannon's discussion DO YOU THINK STEAMPUNK IS A FAD ? AND WILL LOSE STEAM?"Not that this is a bad thing. No subculture remains stagnant and survives. Whether it lives or dies for the masses, who cares: I doubt that will have any effect on some of us.
and uhhh for the record, me too."
Matric replied to Sky Captain Gannon's discussion DO YOU THINK STEAMPUNK IS A FAD ? AND WILL LOSE STEAM?"I think the cosplay dress up part of it will eventually whither and die off."

Andrew John Craven replied to Matric's discussion I feel steampunk"I say...Oddington and Fate engaged in debate....sounds like the makings of a novel here!"
Theophilus J. Oddington replied to Matric's discussion I feel steampunk"Prof. Fate (may I call you Dick?),
Your replies of late have become obnoxious, condescending, and, most damnably, devoid of responsiveness. You speak, but only to insult and belittle, not to convey any information of practical utility to the topic…"
Theophilus J. Oddington replied to Matric's discussion I feel steampunk"The IRS just needs to get with the times. Why they gotta go and be all sticklers for the variations in corporate classification? Ain't like nobody cares but them.

- Mmm no, I really don't, I should though :/
... I have not a clue. It's simply that I don't have a ton of technical training, I just do my own thing.
