At one time we spoke here of little else than FinnBass and the possibility that it might pose an existential threat to BC but everything went quiet and we just carried on as normal. Great times. I'm not sure how I managed this, but as far as I can recall I found my way onto Finnbass first, and only found out about the existence of Basschat from there. Seems odd when you consider the relative size and activity of the two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing new under the sun, and when a forum has been around for a few years then pretty much everything imaginable (at least in any way relevant) will have been discussed before. So what then? Are people supposed to just stop posting and use the site like a big online encyclopedia? What a boring forum that would be. If it wasn't for new people asking old questions, most forums would die pretty quickly. It's a bit tricky though... sometimes it may be helpful to suggest doing a websearch, or using the forum's search function... depending on the question(s) of course... the search function is a powerful tool that may be overlooked sometimes... though I agree that on the flip side, advice to just 'do a search' is a bit of a thread killer...

dmccombe7 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've seen comments on here about people asking questions and someone chips in with "search the forum its been done already" so TB or other forums aren't alone in that respect. Usually the questions starts with "why are Fenders ?" and WOW that gets people heckles up for some reason..........."i don't know why" Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find most of the complaints here forced and unreasonable. Forced because they generalize way too much. Unreasonable because they dismiss the basics of netiquette like doing a damn search before asking obvious questions. What I'm reading here is at 90% far from reality.

Deedee Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I’m on TB and have found people to be very helpful. There’s a wealth of knowledge to be found just as there is on BC. One forum may cover some subjects more than the other so it’s great to have two great resources. I’ve read some threads on there that have turned pretty nasty, but there are some people out there who just live for that. To my mind BC is nowhere near as bad but there are people even here who just seem to post negative comments at every opportunity. People have differing views but how some choose to put those views across is questionable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
