Lobbing Verbal assaults back and forth is quite indicative of bored individuals even if one seems to relish with glee the confrontational aspects..

It's been like two pages where It's not even worth Popcorn.... :roll:
Really....Yawnn... :|

A big reason that a lot of people feel that the forum has gone down the bog hole,is because a lot of members who have been on the forum for many years-some since its inception-have had it up to their eyeballs with the influx of airheads who post nothing but vacuous drivel and insulting and inflamatory topics.It's a bloody sin that so many have gone,because with them goes a treasure trove of combined knowledge of guitar and music related topics that could fill several volumes of a guitar encyclopedia.Many people don't pause long enough to proof read what they have written-not for spelling or grammer,but to see if what they have printed is pertainent to the topic at hand or if it could be hurtful or insulting to other forum members.

I doubt very much that any of these twits possess an iota of technical guitar or musical knowledge and frankly I don't see what positive input they could contribute to the forum. So many people post the most inane threads and topics that it's no mystery to see why so many have left.This forum no longer attracts the people that it should-as anyone looking in for the first time would see the petty arguments and insipid topics that abound here now would certainly turn away someone who was looking for sensible discussion and mature conversation.

Before people start to post indignant responses,I am aiming this at the childish yahoos who have gravitated here in the past while.You can tell that the influx of dimwits corresponds with the departure of so many long-time contributors,which is really tragic and a coup de grace to a forum that once was a great place to hang out and exchange friendly ideas,advice and banter. There are still intelligent and learned members of the forum but unfortunately people tend to notice the negative a lot quicker than they see the positive and the "mawmouths" make the biggest impression.I hope that some day the cretins of the forum get bored with picking fights with each other and with mature members and that the forum could build itself up once again to be the fun place that it once was.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Regarding the "forum down the crapper" I must say I agree with guitslinger. I don't agree that the whole thing is in the toilet but that we have a few immature posters who don't have a serious interest in learning more about and improving their music skills. I have probably learned more from the forum than I would ever learn just reading or digging it out on my own. There are a multitude of really knowledgeable members and a wealth if information to be obtained here. I think we all appreciate a little humor, but not the constant bickering and exchange of insults coming from many who are posting here. Let's all respect each other and work together to make this forum as enjoyable and as valuable a tool as it really is. Some of those that don't agree with this should possibly look for a "immature little bubble gumer punks forum". As for me I think this forum is great. :idea: 8)

As the adage....Garbage In...Garbage Out.....

I don't have a problem with various subjects unrelated to music....The distinction is where participants cannot or do not know how to participate in a civil argument...
Which is differing viewpoints debating a particular subject without resorting to personal attacks or insinuations to such....

This after all a Forum, the moderators have not banned heated debates but they have closed debates which got out of control by becoming personal attacks...
There is a distinction there.....

So on that note, I first have a Wasp Nest and a RedFire Ant nest to annihilate...
Yes sadly we do have those in NE CT even though they are from Brazil and generally not thought to be this far north except in rare instances.....I'm so Blessed.... :roll: :lol:

Then it is back to figuring out my electronics grounding points, redrilling a neck plate and putting Stratopartster II back together with the new configuration.... :)

I think this place has not gone down the crapper. If you want to argue, it's not a very good place to do it. But if you want to know about how to build a guitar, fix an amp, learn about pickups, get a wiring schematic, this place is A1. All the old members seem to be lurking, and if something interests them, they post. If you post something ignorant like politics, religion, etc., the trouble surely follows. Some seem to be unable to resist posting on dumb subjects by trollish people. We can fix a lot of it by not posting on troublesome threads. Anybody know why my amp sounds icepicky? :D

I don't mind the Trolls every now and then, they add a little drama and comedy to some posts.
