EliasMooseblaster Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1503346081' post='3357507'] Aw,that's such a shame. Can't we tempt you with just a £5 tiff..? The £15 barney is on special offer, too, and offers really good value. I can see that the full-out £50 row could be beyond many BCer's pocket, but a little effort now and again would so help site funds. [/quote] I expect he's a little more than fifteen pounds...

It's a lame and old-fashioned tool of manipulation, but seemingly still effective.

spongebob Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I think it has changed on here a fair bit, sadly. I joined in 2008. I don't really post a huge amount now, but I do still read daily (and a bit of selling in the MP). I have noticed a more Talkbass-esque trend for posters to jump on opinions or comments at speed, quite often in a confrontational manner. Also (in my experience) less FB being left after sales. Still a great place for the bass community, and things do come in waves. However, there's definitely room for some lightening up out there!

interpol52 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't mind grumpy, I find it quite amusing. It's the slightly arrogant posts that used to annoy me. Thankfully, the main protagonist of those has left the building. He is probably touring the world with his Allstars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
