Sonic_Groove Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 [quote name='ped' post='928421' date='Aug 18 2010, 10:36 AM']I thought it was in there, but no matter, we still reserve the right to do what we think serves the forum best, and people having lots of accounts isn't a good thing, in my experience. Especially when they lie about it and do it to subvert the ways of the good nature of the forum, which has happened once or twice. Threads like this may appear funny (honestly, I didn't really get it, but that's me) but it means managing the forum could quickly become a massive ballache - which in the long term means the forum goes under. ped[/quote] I am sure there are more than just me who did not find it funny at all!

Clarky Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Flame me but I thought Marcus Muller was funny for five minutes and then the joke wore off very quickly Bring back Tony Goggle I say, as long as the marmosets haven't got there first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, Marcus can always re-appear under the OP's original profile. I'd very much welcome his views on a wider range of topics. BTW, Goggle's got a new, Jazz-flavoured album coming out entitled 'Kind of Balloon'. Personnel listing shows "Marcus Muller on 'Alto' Bass". Awesome shred-fest incoming!

Please reinstate him!! some people, a minority I'm sure, found it unfunny, but most of us were on the floor crying for a nurse! besides, I don't think you should ban what is probably the best 'bussist' you've ever had here, and so willing to share his knowledge too...its a crime! zzlapp!

Pete Academy Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have to admit I found it really funny, but I also have to agree it was always going to be a one-joke thread. I think it was just a way to make us realise the forum can get a touch serious at times, and that it can take a bit of ribbing in the form of parody. Tony Goggle is brilliant. The Basschat Arms, too. I fully understand the Mods' actions, though. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just out of interest, how can anyone be sure that someone has two accounts? I know IP addresses are often used but they are not particularly reliable as few people get fixed IP adresses from their ISP and a dynamic IP address can be easily changed - and, indeed, re-issued to someone else. Also, IP tracking is not much use if people have access to more than one PC (on a different router, obviously), e.g. work and home. Just curious.
