I think this forum has a certain "flavour" that has been pretty consistent over the last decade. The edgy stuff seems to go in cycles and may be related to the fact that the world economy is so screwed at the moment, who knows...
It's not a place for internet newbs, or people that get offended easily, or generally soft people. I like it here and I think the mods have done an excellent jobs maintaining order while not trying to turn this place into Barney's Playhouse.
I play a LOT of guitar and I've never understood the "shut up and play your guitar" attitude that some have. If I was playing my guitar right now I wouldn't be on the forum. With the amount of time in the day it is possible to do both AND have a life to boot!!! I can play and sing, but playing and posting is a bridge too far for me. I don't come here to listen to other people's music, I come here to discuss.
