Sorry if this is bad forum etiquette but basschat has gone down and I bought something off someone from there yesterday and now have no easy way of contacting them, thats why im asking.

So can anyone tell me if this is just going to be a temporary problem? I know some users from there use this forum too...

This is probably the wrong section, but what's basschat?

i'm gonna move this to... OT.

I did look for the a non-related chat forum but couldnt spot it, my eyes must have skipped over it lol.

And its another forum which is used by some people who are on here aswell. I wouldnt normally ask but ive just bought something so am worried.

http://basschat.co.uk/

I haven't been on there in a while so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Basschat is pretty much the more irreverent UK-based equivalent to TB. And yep, it's down. It's gone down before though, wouldn't be surprised to see it up and running again later today - they seem to have fairly regular, but brief, outages.

TheDarkReaver · #7 03-22-2010, 08:35 AM

Oh it's not gone down.

Just don't type in the www bit. The link in my previous post works.

We are unworthy. *rolleyes*

and dark reaver it still appears to be down for me no matter what i try. guess it's a waiting game :/

TheDarkReaver · #10 03-22-2010, 08:54 AM

Ah, it's gone down for me now as well.

This is another reason why you get alternate contact means, such as phone numbers to call.

well not that any of y'all will care but ill post here saying how this works out. cheers for teh quick replys!

1.*irreverant* is not neccesarily a bad thing- particularly in OT(off-topic)

2. Unless we're talking a big deal like a very nice bass or amp, I wouldn't worry too much just yet- little happens overnight, right?
3. Stick around- we get pretty silly over here too. There are lots of UK TBers all talkin funny & stuff.

Welcome to TB, & I hope it turns out alright for you.

What if you google his name from BassChat?
Most times, you can find information. And there's a pretty good chance the seller is also a member here on TB.

ICB300 · #16 03-22-2010, 09:52 AM

i need to go out for a bit, when i get back ill start looking into it more. thanks for the suggestion Mark.

and bassteban i probably will stick around, oh btw your hair is terrible

Bassmouseman · #17 03-22-2010, 09:54 AM

Was starting to think this was my computer!
I've bought something as well, no money has changed hands yet but i'm supposed to be picking up at the weekend.

They have a myspace account -- http://www.myspace.com/bassworldcouk

I've already sent one message, but don't hold your breath ... they last logged on almost 2 years ago.

I seem to remember talk of an 'emergency assembly point' on MSN too ... might be worth hunting for that (possibly under the older name of 'bassworld.co.uk', the infrastructure was somewhat flaky in those days)

If you think about it, that's a very active forum with active moderation ... I'm sure that half-a-dozen key people are WELL aware of the problem and are working on it right now.

I've just about exhausted the possibilities open to me. I can't find the Emergency assembly area anywhere (used to be on the now-defunct msn groups). However I have directly mailed both Ped and CrazyKiwi ... well, indirectly actually, via myspace.
