Eventually the cries will be silenced and their echoes heard in other forums that give a bliep.

Been reading new threads all day long, and it has been...interesting. I almost didn't reset my password...just for lack of interest in all the -B L E E P-. This thread made me do it.
I'm sure everyone will be incredinly surprised that I disagree with them? Everyone has made good points. Especially thanks Anderton for trying to communicate. Welcome to HACF. There are numerous problems which I will take to Feedback, initially including the no word wrap and browser spellcheck not working, among other things that I may figure out or it's just broke/missing. Seena lot of camplaints about missing features...even though you asked everyone to be patient for things to come online.
It surprises me that everyone is SO B itche Y about this. Firstly, as was mentioned, we've used this resource for basically our own purposes, as if we ourselves created and paid for it. Being a well-liked forum member doesn't pay any bills. Many forum member admitted they barely play guitar, and not very often interested in even talking about amps, let alone use the enitre website content and ads. Some boards/fan sites can be paid for by the private host/originator or member by clever and minimal adverts
.
This one was not. SO it's been a priviledge this whole time! Thank you to whoever does that hard work, pay the bills, keep up the big site. You can start your usual **bleep** now, but let me tell you secondly:
Things change. I remember we had a Rush (band) site, er midnight express...? midnight something, I can't remember it's been years. GREAT community, truely tight like HCAF doesn't even know, or only pretends. Well we lost it and why? Money. And times just change. Yahoo changed, photobucket changed. mp3lizzard changed. All for the worse, imo. I bet your hometown has changed in 5, 10, 15 years. So we just have to face that maybe this site changed when we weren't ready. BIG DEAL!
If we really want our OWN place, that we can share piping hot fahrts, hot chicks, pumping iron, diets, cars and other cool facebook stuff, maybe veen amps and clips...then we design and PAY FOR...our own. It's very simple right? Looks like we have PLENTY of expertise. Otherwise we are just freeloaders.
I realize people will automaitcally react to ME, rather than what I am trying to say. Maybe somebody can see the validity of my opinion and boil it down to oh...2 sentences or so? 
Things change. God I still miss that Rush Message board. :cry: And this will pass too.
