You were a man of zi pippul. So sez I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members garthman Posted May 8, 2018 Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 Well, as slow as it is these days, it would be sad to see it's demise after all the years we've spent here. I hang around here occasionally so might see some of you there if the worst happens: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Glenn F Posted May 8, 2018 Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 I don't really hang around any music forums, anymore. My 'digestion' is better for it. Even if this place gets 'shed,' someone may pick up the pieces. Then again, I don't know what kind of headache comes from running this place.

Members Etienne Rambert Posted May 26, 2018 Members Share Posted May 26, 2018 Don’t want to peddle rumors here BUT: 1. I’ve heard a certain Chinese music gear manufacturer will charge inon a white horse to rescue dear old HC. 2. We’ll all get free stuff - for posting favorable reviews. Stay tuned. 3. I’ve also heard zee one & only Fret Fiend has made some low-ball offers to Henry J.But he exited the conference call w/ a flea in his ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted May 26, 2018 Members Share Posted May 26, 2018 Loose lips, and all that implies... Now that all the speculators have arrived and taken their seats I suppose the meeting can commence. All in favor raise their right cheeks for a show of eyes. HC and others are on the back side of apogee and leveled off at the current level between the two kinds of caring, wavering there, carried on the inertia of an all but expended energy we all contributed at one time. Coincidental to that, the sponsor of this site has to make a decision about its continued relevance versus ROI. Add to that matrix a site policing body that ensures the bots will never alight here again and we have the makings of an exit plan in complete deference to strategy. Winning ugly or winning pretty is still winning, and ugly is far more interesting and challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for that to come back no rules...chaos! I'm too old for that crap. I tended to avoid the PP forum. I posted a few times, but I had an epiphany that arguing about politics is a colossal waste of time. No one changes their mind. I don't feel the need to abuse people, and I'll ignore anyone who gets abusive with me. I am not going to look back in my dotage and think 'WOW! That flame-war on HC that time was the BEST!' Nope. Life is too short, too much to do. Anyways, there's more to running a place like this than moderation. Keeping it running smoothly is a major headache, dealing with spammers and bots and whatnot. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
