one bassist's inanity is another bassist's insanity.

wow. this thread got twisted out of shape by the transformation.

nothing interesting here. it was a smarmy reply to a spambot, but the spambot has been returned to the ether from which he came (or the MF cube from which he posts).

tip of the cap to Thud

short version - HCBF is a thriving, busy forum with many contributing members - consistent, continuous traffic all day. but then a forum software change is announced. HCBF almost immediately devolves into posting anarchy, with members knowing that all posts will disappear in The Change. and then Harmony Central enacts The Change. the less said the better of 2.0, but let's just say that it was not the success HC had hoped for. overnight, the forums are laid waste. posting rates go from 1 per minute to 1 per day. 99% of all posts bitch about the new forum software. but HC doesn't care. not right away. eventually HC does accept the error of Jive 2.0, and reboots to the vBulletin forum you see today. some forums bounce back, other never recover. the Bass Forum never recovers. ThreadKiller is a hollow shell of what it used to be. giants like LT, Bonoman, Zamfir, and the Dude entertained and enriched us all. but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

i think i liked it better when one couldn't see what was in the threads.

karma is a bitch.
