thodrik Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I used to be on it a lot but have barely been on in the last three four years. Work and time pressures mostly but also because I preferred playing bass as opposed to reading and writing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have buggered off before (bad real-life stuff about 5 years ago got too much for me so I pretty much backed off from everything) but came back when my life/head etc was in a better place. No intention of doing so again. I've been around since the BW days, I come on pretty much every day but I'm not an incredibly regular or controversial poster, so (as far as I know) I don't get many backs up & don't get annoyed by others too often. I do miss the posts of many of those who have left and stayed gone. Bring back TBBC! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 When I depart. i will slip away quietly. No fanfare or hitsrionics that we have seen in the past This forum is the longest I have participated in, and do enjoy it., so not going anywhere yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I haven't been on for a long time, not having played for over five years. I'm trying hard to raise some enthusiasm for home recording endeavours, but will probably end up on the off topic or the for sale threads (again !)

dave_bass5 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I tend to post more if im looking to buy something, or have just brought something. This si a great place to do research and discuss items etc. I feel a lot fo the threads are irrelevant to me these days. The biggest reason for not coming on here as much though is any thread i have subscribed to i can read in the email notifications, so i dont need to come here to see whats going on. I thought we were only supposed to get one email alert per thread until we came here and read it, but its never worked like that for me.

I try keep away from certain threads. May I ask why do you think the market place has went downhill? There's seems plenty for sale often at decent enough prices.
