Re: I kind of like the New HC! anyone else?

You go brows around the rest of the net and then come back here, you have to concede that it's pretty amateurish.  At the same time, it does say "Bata" on the heading, and they had to jump ship as the old one was sinking fast.  I guess my point is that I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, I suspect this place will come around.

Re: I kind of like the New HC! anyone else?

I mean - so far it looks promising. There was an announcement that some functionality will come later. I am hoping for better stability - that was the biggest irritation for me.

Well I guess my big question is why can say TGP or UG have sites like the old HC and run smoothly but now we have this? I understand how to navigate around here but truthfully I don't like the set up at all.

12' Gibson LP Jr. HB Special
12' Ibanez 25th Ann. RG2XXV
TU-2>T-Rex TB Sustainer>T-Rex TB OD>DD-6>
Blackstar HT-20 combo w/WGS Vet 30
Marshall Haze 15H>V212 w/WGS Vet 30/ET-65

Good deals with many,check the HC trader posts.

What mess.

 

No, I don't like it.

 

Maybe I'll eventually figure out how to format it better to my liking, but right now - sucks.

 

But I'll acknowledge their efforts.

It's Exeter from the '50s movie This Planet Earth. TPE was also used as fodder in the movie version of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
