Golchen Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) [quote name='silddx' post='793346' date='Apr 1 2010, 02:25 PM']I'm afraid sussed this one out in an instant.[/quote] Me too. I'm usually very aware of the date (for work purposes) anyway, but also the fact that I'm seeing the thread at 6.45 pm means that it's a bit late to be caught out. Amusing though! EDIT: the joke sure would be on us if they DID pull the plug on it today though!! Edited April 1, 2010 by Golchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Given the state of the off topic though, it wouldn't be surprising if it was deleted, and rightly so. The forum there really has turned into a bit of a toilet. Every other thread is "I take drugs/I hate the police/I'm bitter about..."..."/. The good stuff is severely lacking in there at the moment unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Well I'm a bit late to this thread but it didn't get me Good effort though, nice to inject a bit of humour. Next year we will be expecting so must try harder. How about something like, Musicman goes bust, Fender make a bass with sunburst not an option, Mark King admits to miming live, James Jamerson played with a pick etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go and have another look at the OT front page and you'll see all sorts of useful, helpful, humorous and supportive threads there. Go and have a look, and get your normally balanced perspective back. Only one or two are of the type you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Some people [i]do[/i] take drugs, they [i]do[/i] hate the police, they [i]are[/i] bitter about things! Should everyone keep their gobs shut because some people might not like what they're saying? And if not, in which Forum should these opinions be aired? Amps and Cabinets? I've said it before, but if you don't like Off Topic, you don't have to go there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Chris, to use your own point but in a wider context, those people on here "who do take drugs", "hate the police" and "are bitter about things" also have other forums to go to if they want to vent excessively. Off Topic is intended to be for everyone and I'd suggest a balance needs to be maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
