HCFX Retirement.

HC user since 1995.

Forum user deanv82 from like 2000-2004

changed name to Gregovertone in 2004.

 

i've had a browser tab open for hcfx for like 5 year :smileyvery-happy:

seen many changes and 'improvements' over the last (**bleep** near) 20 years. 

 

i think this one has officially killed the inpriration to use hcfx. there are so many informative, easy to read forums out there, that HC may have nothing left to offer.

 

limited functionality, censorship, poor formatting and layout, and huge advertising.....can't do it.

 

you can find me at other great, functional forums:

thegearpage

offsetguitars

gearslutz

hauntingmids

eletricalaudio

tapeop

 

 

It's been real.

Gotta agree. No amount of promoting and defending can get me to embrace this. How sad.

Re: HCFX Retirement.

I am using Google chrome. Doesn't make up for the missing features and awkward feel.

Re: HCFX Retirement.

I'm kinda feelin like this may be the nail in the coffin for me as well. Heh, I've reached a point where I'm super happy with my board, and it's actually lasting, and this forum tends to make me wanna spend more money all the time anyway... hmmm. 

I'll check out the plugin though, see what that does for me. If it looks alright, and the forum runs properly, then perhaps I'll stick around.

Sometimes you follow your heart. Sometimes your heart cuts a fart. That's the cosmic shame.

Re: I hate subjects

Lulz is this gonna be the new cool thing to do? Big farewell speeches from a free service? I'm gonna go tell people at the local playground that I won't be visiting anymore and that the swings swung too high for my liking.

Love,

Dustin

Only when there's an abundance of children. Not dissimilar to HCFX
