Isnt cool how this place has popped up and within a couple of days it's like home again. I just wish we could get some of the FX guys to come over, even if they are a bunch of pussies.
I love this smiley too

The really important thing to remember here is that we really do need to do three things. Chew bubblegum, kick ass, and foster a new, better community. Seriously, don't be dicks. Tell people about this place. Actually try and talk about amps a little. Don't haze the new guys. Maybe not say "retarded" like you just got the word for Christmas. I know treating women as human beings is a stretch for most of you, but it'd be cool if we actually tried to have some participate in the community. Try not to call things "gay" like you're a 7th grader in 1998. Or "ghey." Yes, we are on to you. No, you're not particularly clever.
I know it seems like I'm asking a whole lot of you guys, but, like, I'm going somewhere with this one, bear with me:
....Until we have a stable enough base of new members to keep the content fresh and new. Then we can start being total wieners again. There is no use in being the old guard if we do not have a new guard to lord it over. So for fuck's sake, can we hold it together long enough to attract some other half-wits to keep this place interesting? Offer incentives. I'm willing to sit on top a pyramid scheme of gold-star stickers given to half-wits. Particularly if we have an 80% or better on OK Cupid.
But, you know, no more than like, 18% enemy. Because 20% is too much, it'd never work out, and 15% is just close-minded, and you might be missing out on a really great person. 19% if they're pretty cute and have a job.
And that's the story of how The Lone Gunmen wasn't ever really going to work out past that first season. anyway.
Misplaced priorities and squandered opportunities.

Still stuck on the politically correct jargon, eh?

Well, that didn't take long.
And spot on Brandon, spot on.

Go write some reviews. Gonna be a bit before there's enough traffic to make them show up in searches probably, but I'm thinking well written reviews could help bring people in here. (Mostly I'm saying this so someone who actually can play guitar writes some reviews...)

I'll write a review for my tweaker combo sometime. I agree that having some actual information relating to guitar will bring some people in.
