Not sure what you expected to happen. That's an obvious troll thread.comesect2.0 wrote:OHHHH AND IT'S GONE! BAM!
Scott Peterson says it was inappropriate...I WAS LOOKING FOR HELP!
...cyberpunk2.0,
I wanted to alert you that your post (best P&W gear for Walpurgis.) breaks our rule regarding appropriate behavior.
''I'm looking for the right transparent drive to properly channel the spirits into our world. I need to know what happened to me.
this all started when I sold my ibanez echo shifter....im not sure but is it possible for tangible items to withhold energy from a previous owner?
Weird things had been happening since I purchased the ES2 and one night it would not turn off after I was done jamming out! .. I unplugged everything!
but the green and orange light seemed to just get brighter....
In all honesty I am not sure what happened, but I experienced a laps in time and space and suddenly snapped out of it and the lights were off!
We sold it on reverb with a disclaimer.
We used to play guitar at my church, and my pastor used to tell me wicked things were my fault alone for allowing myself to seek the devil...
was Robert Johnson for real? should I give up guitar?
I hear synthesizers are very meditative and may help clear the air with positive vibrations, not very clued in on the synthesizer world.....im not sure either if I should buy one just to try...I feel as if something is still here with me and im not experienced enough to deal with something from the otherworld.
Help.
sincerely, -Laura-''
...moving on. Heheh.
Also, your English is pretty good for a French lady.

I like browsing the guitar section, there are quite a few really nice guitars posted or interesting ones.
Lots of the posts in the pub seem to be people humble bragging in round about ways about how good they have it in life and how successful they are.
The classifieds section used to be AWESOME like 5 years ago. I got a bunch of really nice guitars and pedals off it for really cheap. Its all over priced 3000 dollar 5E3 clones and 5000 Gibson Les Pauls now though.
I got banned for a week recently for pointing out that minimum wage in Korea is close to minimum wage in the US so labor costs can't really account for how much more expensive a US mass produced guitar like a Gibson is compared to a Korean made guitar like a Reverend. That was too political. Lel.

Korean made factory guitars on average are better built and sound better than Gibson...Re: The Gear Page

What if TGP's ban on irony and parody is an ironic parody...am I over thinking this?

For example, here's a post I was warned on. The thread is about lightweight vs heavyweight guitars, and some guy named Ron Kirn who apparently makes really bad Telecasters is going off about how back in his day everyone wanted heavy guitars and goddammit they had the best tone, etc. So I posted:
Someone reported me for this. So strange...it's utterly harmless. What does it mean that so many musicians are hostile to irony? In the era of Trump, I'm concerned.Back in my day, I played a boat anchor.
I mean literally.
I would go down to the boat docks, get myself a boat anchor, and string the g**d***** thing up right there on the spot.
Went and played gigs with em.
Keith Richards told me it was the best g**d***** tone he ever heard in his life.

Well you can't even mention Trump over there.Wittgenstein wrote: In the era of Trump, I'm concerned.
Almost every time I do my post gets deleted.
I argue that it's a cultural reference and not a political one, but that always seems to fall on deaf ears.
Gear forums don't exist in a vacuum.

If you make a pro-left post on TGP the post gets deleted.
If you make a pro-right post on TGP you get banned for a week or more.

I'd make an April Ryan joke, but I'd probably get banned.
Sometimes I think Lovepedal just likes to prove that no matter what name he puts on the box, there is a line of people that will buy it without asking any questions or thinking.
