To TB:

bergie · #1 01-01-2009, 06:18 PM

To start off, although I don't post quite often, I've been lurking around for a while now, and you folks deserve this.

First, to the folks running this place and the mods helping: This is the most organized, well run forum I have ever seen on the internet, Ever. I don't say this lightly, but even reading the rules it is plain to see the level of care and work put into them. I am truly impressed by that, and not only that! The group of mods and admins here aren't just faceless gods of Justice, but are perhaps the most spirited and caring administration I have ever had the privilege to see. I'm honored to be under your mighty fists of Justice!

Second, to the TB community: You guys (and gals) have shown such love that I had never seen before from an internet forum, or even in a club in real life! The way you welcome new members is simply astounding. Plus, the atmosphere always feels amazing, as if we were all a really, really large group of friends, united for a common love, purpose, and enjoyment. Infact, nearly all bassists have shown to be good people, maybe it's just a bonus from the hobby ( /job/love/enjoyment/purpose)! I don't think I'll ever leave TB, it's just that Gooood, like a second home.

Third and finally, I've said a lot of rather large statements, but I stand firmly behind them as truth. I don't think I've even scratched the surface of all that TB has to offer, and maybe this is a better way of saying it:
Thank You Talkbass, and Everyone that makes it so Special.

Pshhh,

Brown noser.

This means I'm cool now right?... Right?!?

Haha, I just felt that TB needed a good 'ole fashioned "Feel Good" Thread.

you didn't see the bacon club thread?

tplyons · #6 01-01-2009, 06:27 PM

Amen. This place has a great administration, and it's hard work, but it's a passion for this place that keeps them going. I used to do it, retired after 18 hard months, and have nothing but the utmost respect for the guys that still do it.

I hung up the bass two years ago, and still come back to TB daily for the people. I still know a thing or two, but I mostly don't play anymore. But you people are like family to me. I'll likely be sticking around forever.

EagleMoon · #7 01-01-2009, 06:31 PM

+1 to everything you said.

JUST KIDDING

Anyway, big +1 to it all. I love this place. Which is why I've posted so freaking much...

WickedPissah · #10 01-01-2009, 08:27 PM

I made a thread like this once. Its responses just validated my statements about how great a community this is.

hbarcat · #11 01-01-2009, 08:31 PM

My first reaction is "You brown noser!" but I think you're pretty much accurate with your praise of this site. I've been participating in discussion forums of all kinds for a long time and this is easily the one that I spend the most time on because of how informative, useful, fun and just plain awesome it is.

Spector_Ray · #12 01-01-2009, 08:40 PM

+1000

I think this is a heck of a place. I belong to many forums, but I do most of my posting here which is a testament from me especially since I'm a mod on some other boards and I don't post much on those!

WyrdoBass · #13 01-01-2009, 09:45 PM

YEAYAH!

This place definitely rocks. The best forum I've ever been to!

The level of awesomeness here is mainly why I decided to donate and become a supporting member- I feel that it's worth it for all i've learned.

MakiSupaStar · #14 01-01-2009, 11:13 PM

hey Bergie, are you the same dude that lives over by Ebisu? If not... Cool. If so.... Cool. Either way, I agree with your op 100%.

Yep, me too. Every so often I go out and buy a bunch of bass gear with the intent of getting back into playing. It sits in my den and collects dust, then I sell it.

Speaking of, I need to post a couple things in the classifieds.
