I gave in..

Post by selloutrr »

I joined the TGP.
I used the same handle as hear.
I last all but about 45 seconds and I can't stand it... Full of idiot posts and nonsense.

The reason I joined was that some of the post on this forum refer to things posted on the TGP and without joining you can't view.

.... But... Damn... it's like a small town boy going the big city.. Over whelming.

Keep up the good posts and great forum TAG!

Happy 4th I'm off to get drunk and mix an album.

I know what you mean. I joined a couple of years ago. Don't remember the last time I was on there.
Long live the Wallies at Stonhenge.
Have a great 4th guys.

It's like an adult HC.
Now watch...a member from there or a mod will see this and ban me for the statement.

Yeah, I go over there when I'm bored but it has such a huge membership with the average age being younger, things can turn to shit in a hurry.

The latest funny thing was all the hub bub about the $180 Alpha Drive boutique pedal and how they had raved about that pedal only to find out it was actually a $30 pedal from China. :lol:

The dust is still settling after that one....

Everytime that I consider maybe joining TGP, I'm reminded again as to why I never joined.

I made the massive mistake of posting pics of some of my gear.

I haven't been there in 3 years.

I think I'll post some thing on TGP just to ruffle some feathers. Maybe a video.. I'll start out filming outside and walk into the studio head threw the control room and set up all amps starting by newest to oldest of by brand in the control room.. finish off in the shop.

Write some BS headline like "Newbie, Just wanted to say hi.. what's Music?" or.. "Any recommendations on picking the next amp I buy?"

I'll make a list of all amps and the times in the video
Then everytime someone posts I'll reply... "IDIOT!.. got that one.. refer to time.. 00:00"

Not nice at all but I see no way anyone can contribute anything productive to that place.

Nevermind wife said I have to play nice.

Probably shouldn't have asked her to show me her :idea: :idea:

:D

She said if I don't like it then I shouldn't go.. and something about growning up and getting my music gear out the living room but I tuned out the rest...

I recently signed up there. I always said I never would, but here I am. The whole alpha pedal gate was too much fun to resist. What I discovered, is that logic is pointless on tgp, and I resorted to making sarcastic posts just for a laugh. I notice most people do the same thing. It's kind of hard to take that site seriously. I've never seen so many mouth breathing knuckle dragging idiots in one place. I find myself making more and more controversial posts, just to get a reaction. I guess they call this trolling, but it's hilarious. If I get banned, it won't hurt my feelings.

BAWAHAWAHAWA!

I have gotten a few warnings there before for being political.

In one thread about guns I mentioned the word Hitler.
The mod deleted my post and gave me a warning.

If they don't like something you posted, it will soon be gone, vanquished to the ether world. :D

I wonder how much space I could take up? Would it register as one post taking up more then one page?

I tried it wouldn't let me..

The following errors occurred with your submission:
Your signature cannot be longer than 880 characters including BB code markup.
Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 5 line(s). Long text may have been implicitly wrapped, causing it to be counted as multiple lines.



I posted a partial list in the how many amps do you own thread. Funny I noticed MrScratch posted earlier, something about that guys posts really bother me. Probably cause they are never part of the thread he posts in. must be a TGP thing?

http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showth ... wn&page=48

This will be my only post (#716 on the thread) in TGP.
Possibly forever, I'm in no rush to read all the pointless crap that is scattered around that place. Someone should really be filtering out the junk and erasing it on a minute to minute basis.

I'm curious to see how many people get butt hurt.

Mrs Cratch was banned over there previously and moved in here for a bit. Very good to see he has a suitable place to hang out again.

That is an awesome post. No one is going to sense the sarcasm.

Where do you keep all that gear?
