[BitchPudding]

you guys' fascination with that forum is .. fascinating :-)

Honestly dude, i was genuinely curious. Like, it can't be that bad right?

So far, its just a lot of elitism and censorship. Exactly what I'd expect from old people.

Could you just change one letter in swear words? Feck? Asss? Shiit? Whomo? Dike? Kunt? Fagh?

I'm not saying use them but wouldn't that circumvent the use of asterisks?

I was like you at first. Wittgenstein got me into it though. At first I just wanted to spectate the trolling but now...I'm genuinely interested.

It's like a group of people who think the deserve veteran benefits (like military) cause they played like that one show in their slowed down Tom Petty cover band.

I walked up to my practice space last night with heavy shit in both arms. These old dudes were walking out as I was walking up—they nodded at me and proceeded to not hold the door. I came back outside earlier and one of them was talking very negatively about how much disability his brother was getting.

All I could think about was what kind of awful music they made, and if they were on TGP.

[BitchPudding]

Shit man, its like you ran into TGP live.

Who needs curse words when you can call people SOY BOYS?

So far, day 1 is....nice? Its kinda pleasant. Gotten around the swearing thing but typing things like f u c k. But I mean so far, no hostility towards me.

Only thing I dont really did is the interface. Feels old school in the bad way, like its hard to navigate. I imagine in time that will become easier. But for now, ya boi is casually monitoring teh forum with no problems from no one.

My heart is still with ILF tho. Cause we all know we pimp as fuck.

I just went around saying "whatup I got all this gear I'm awesome" crap then made a praise and worship thread or somthin about how my echo shifter was possessed by a demon...most people commented oh how funny or whatever but the moderators have no sense of humour. ....plus there should be spots where hardcore gear enthusiasts or life long touring junkies can talk tech without some wanker like myself...think it was 1010100110 formally another name who told me to do it.

I can't stand people who don't hold doors for people who obviously need doors held for them!

I dunno, we're on the edge of being more about gear than music here sometimes, but I still think there's room for pisstake and shit posting.
I believe though, that Japanese pedals are supposed to be haunted by some kind of Ringu-esque unhappy spirit, but because of the rising costs of abducting and torturing teenage girls to death in the metro areas and disposing of their poor, broken bodies with out evidence, companies like Ibanez have had to move operations to Korea and Indonesia. And also because the Japanese are, by and large, racist towards other asian peoples.

I occasionally buy off TGP, so I'm not going to try and get banned. However, I do troll slightly when I can.

I've yet to see a thread I can relate though though and that's after 7 years! LOL!

Same went with HC. God I hated HC so much. Fuck that forum.

Larger forums are just larger. They make money through traffic. They get less traffic aka revenue if there's hostility and swearing and other general
Fuckery.

That and a lot of the time the people that become the mods are cultists.
