Members Idunno Posted February 22, 2015 Members Share Posted February 22, 2015 So, in the interests of establishing the new establishers of topical on/off parameters, is it picking pepper out of fly dung to ask if talking about playing techniques in on topic? vbadmin recently stated that they weren't too distracted by off-topic discussions in their zeal to find and isolate rants and off-topic discussions to their newly created forums. I take his statement to mean any off-topic discussion is okay if he considers it harmless. So, do we have to talk bridge pins or can we talk about the purpose of the guitar itself?

Members FretFiend. Posted February 22, 2015 Members Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've wondered the same thing. I've seen several of my posts mysteriously disappear. And these were what one could consider legit on topic posts. Sounds like it's whatever mood Dendy Jarrett or this mysterious "vbadmin" is in. In any case, the future of this very discussion here is in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EdBega Posted February 22, 2015 Members Share Posted February 22, 2015 Kinda like sometimes when you can't control the crap that comes out of your guitar ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EdBega Posted February 22, 2015 Members Share Posted February 22, 2015 When you think about it anything we say/type/doodle as acoustic guitar players should be considered on topic. Beyond that some of this is even National Archives worthy ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted February 23, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think we're okay to bash music here along with the guitar itself as long as it falls below the rant threshold. It's just that we seldom stay above the rant hard deck here. I don't, anyway. That's the spice. On the topic of the late, great Dendy Jarrett, he left the site as an admin a couple weeks back or so. Evidently there was some shake-up in the front office requiring site admins and field minions to be home soil employees, or some such mandate. Dendy preferred not to relocate to take a front office job - further evidence of previously discussed non-discussable discussion on the demise of I'd better stop now stuff - so he's gone. Salute, Mr Jarrett, your work here was commendable though I'm sure it probably exceeded more than I'll ever know. @EdBega - National Archives worthy? Hmmm. So that's their angle.

Members DeepEnd Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 . . . On the topic of the late, great Dendy Jarrett, he left the site as an admin a couple weeks back or so. Evidently there was some shake-up in the front office requiring site admins and field minions to be home soil employees, or some such mandate. . . . Phil O'Keefe is no longer an Admin for the same reason. He's still a Mod but he won't be doing reviews any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Bummer. I liked Phil's reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 I wasn't aware that Dendy Jarrett had left, so maybe my accusation was unfounded. I guess I should pay more attention to those rant and complaint forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted February 23, 2015 Members Share Posted February 23, 2015 Bummer. I liked Phil's reviews. I accidentally found the news in the Effects Forum: http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/forum/guitar/acapella-29/31408583-goodbye-phil. If I hadn't I probably still wouldn't know.
