Funny I just peeked.

One guy called Nero an asshole, a few others went right into politics on that very thread yet I get banned for saying gay. Lol....fuck that guy.


How did you get banned but Picasso still runs his mouth? Also, why is WizardOfOzz allowed to post anywhere? That dude is still a massive douche canoe.


Idk, I made another account and unfortunately need 50 posts in order to be able to reply to someone who's trying to reach me to sell me something haha. Its pathetic.

But yeah, there's still political talk in main forums within random threads and there's still people raging and insulting.

Shows me what I need to know about the owner. Even though Brad did that crazy stuff in his personal life I kind of wish he still owned it..whatever

Ah yes, his glorious Suhr PT100 video :lol:

There was a Bogner video also. Ecstasy I think. Awful.

He's the type of player that if you heard him through a Peavey Valveking you would say "I don't think you're quite ready for this amp, stick with a Spider 5 until you decide if guitar playing is for you."

And yet, he's online talking about how Bogner, Suhr are not up to his "standards".

This was the awakening for me about the reality of internet forums lol you REALLY need to check who you're speaking to.

Yeah I buy/sell and post there sometimes too. The forum is fine for the most part. Lots of good info about Marshall mods, old rack gear etc, which is right up my alley.

Like I said on the first page of this thread, forums are mostly nice people that are there to discuss their favorite topic etc, it's usually a handful of members that fuck things up.

Lol dude got roasted so hard

I know I say it probably once a year, but the glory days of HCAF were insane. You could post a thread and if no one responded it would be on the third page in like 15 minutes.

I can’t believe that was almost 20 years ago. I’m only 36, I definitely should not have been on there at 17

What the hell is wrong with saying, Gay? What part of LGBTQ+ don't these idiots understand? Wonder how many cows the admin would have if you said Queer

Kind of depends on tone, no? It's difficult to determine meaning from online postings. Familiarity also plays a huge roll in communication. I can call my best bro a "dick" all day and he knows what I mean. That approach is instantly offensive online. Communication skills are important...
