Hmm. I'm not seeing the quote on the mobile site. Lol. Oh well, at least there is a mobile format that has everything sized nice.. It's actually nicely streamlined.. And I'm sure they will eventually get that straightened out.. But honestly, for me, this site never really meant anything to me. I've met a number of members on here in real life and that's all well and good. Nice people. but I wouldn't ever really consider anyone I generally only converse with online to be a friend. There is just too much room for people to be dishonest. And I know there are some on here that certainly are. therefore I just don't see the need to be upset and rage quit cause of new colors, like M34t says. It's just silly to me. It's just an online community that will never mean much to me in life. I think most of these new little off shoot forums will be fine and have some members, but it won't be the same a this once was because it's not.. There simply will never be the traffic and huge amount of people, which is what made this place how it was. Because of that fact it will ruin what many of these guys who love the drama live for. Which is the shi.tfests and the little cliques would gang up on others to try and make themselves feel important.. Some really enjoyed that, and you would find the same people in every one of those threads.There simply won't be the sh.itfests that a lot of these guys loved being a part of on these new forums. Since the new forums are mostly people that"know" each other from here, they can't really start with each other..Honestly, I don't care, and maybe this is the wake up call a lot of these drama seekers and tough guys need in life, but I'm just pointing out what the biggest mouths on this forum will be missing.
Which is why this exodus before most even gave this forum a chance is just plain childish and silly. Everyone put up with the absolute horrible performance of this place for months, maybe even years, but everyone still stuck it out with all the problems. Now they tried to fix all the complaints, changed the colors and there are still bugs to be worked out, but it clearly works WAY better as far a actually loading and being able to post, Yet still, a bunch still threw a tantrum and took their ball and went home and started their own game.. Which is cool.. Billy does seem like a nice guy, so I'm sure that forum will be fine.. It'll be similar to maplifiers.. I spent time there for awhile, but eventually it just becomes about the group of people who really wanted to have their own forum and it just became something that wasn't as enjoyable to me when I wanted to kill time. The same thing is gonna happen to other fourths. It's like Rig Talk.. Weren't they all hcaf regulars too? But now, when the hcaf regulars talked about rig talk, it was generally condescending and how they are 80's coc.k rock losers, etc.. So the same thing will happen to Billy's forum. Eventually it'll create it's own personality, that will only appeal to a smaller amount of people.. The large scale and internet tough guy appeal of Hcaf was what allowed all the clusterfuc.ks. It was basically 4 Chan (which I've actually never been on, so I'm kinda guessing) but with a common love of music and gear.. Which only a handful of us actually made and posted music.lol. Which helps prove my point that most were here cause they loved drama and loved speaking (typing) to be heard. And assume if the off topic stiff was certainly fun.. Because of the size it did offer good feedback and obviously a lot of listens fir those who post music. if there is anything I'll miss, it's putting out my music to a large scale of anonymous people and getting feedback on it. But who knows, I think when these other forums start having to rely on actually sypporting itself on topics other than how much hcaf sucks or it how has no traffic or how stupid Anderton is, etc., and as long as this forum gets fixed I think many will come back. But many will have to eat their words, cause I've seen plenty of "I'll never go back even is it does get fixed.", or "I hope harmony central dies a slow painful death.." There is some crazy butthurt out there all because they changed formats.? And if I'm being 100% honest, usually I'm one who likes to keep things the same as long as it works, so even if they did fix the old format, it really did feel outdated and boring now that I actually think about it. I checked out Billy's forum and it reminds me of the old PV forum. And at the time PV ran that same format he is. I always felt it was "dated"feeling then.. And I remember when PV changed, there was only a handful of people who whined and complained. Eventually, everyone adapted and it was better. looking back, if it hadn't changed and was still the same ole, same ole, it would feel like going to your old aunts house who has the brown shag carpet and musty smell permeating thru the house. She Still has those fake jewels hanging from the lamps and the lamp shades are yellow.. Lol..
