This is a bit scary. I had a nose.
Why didn't Ken use a different look for his sight?
Is he a bully?
I don't like bullies.

hey, at the end of the day there's another outlet for bass players, so that's pretty hip...

You may not be the only one, but what's the big deal? Ken likes to get involved in discourse about basses and he wasn't comfortable here. I used to hate where I worked so i started my own business. Same thing.

Oops, no I wasn't knocking Ken Smith's enterprising spirit, I really respect him for his wealth of knowledge and all that jazz...But you guys have to see some of the obvious humor of the situation. I know the color scheme is a default setting but even that is kind of funny. The note he has for his moderation policies etc...I'm going to join his board because KS is invaluable, I just think its funny.

They will be changing the color scheme and overall look of the site in a few days.

Ken's using the same software (vBulletin) and the default settings are probably the same colors.

I don't know about "beat 'em". Even with dedication and a huge amount of time and money, it could take years for another DB forum to build a larger and more lively membership than we have here. I hope Ken is serious about this, though. It will be nice to have another forum to visit when I have questions.
