I was banned for live from that site, so excuse me while I have a chuckle.
I was banned for not agreeing with the "in" crowd and challenging Ed when he gave me a hard time.
There were some fun guys there and all they really had going on was OT. The rest was pretty lame.
Sure didn't last long. It pretty much started up after the mass exodus that happened last year.

I'm more wondering about the actual events that made Ed come to this conclusion.

Hmm, I never spent time there so I can't speak to any events... but it would be interesting to get to see the train wreck...

I thought the site was invented so bass players could look at girlie pics without feeling as sleazy as the normal sleaze. When I couldn't find that it was no different than TB, except it included some characters I'm glad to not encounter anymore, so I never went back.

I'll help you. Put basstalk247.com in the search box on this page: Invalid Link Removed
You'll get the contact info you need to get your questions answered.

no need to contact anyone. Ed is dealing with a medical issue and in HIS own words,.. "the meds are screwing up his mind, body, and soul". he's hyper-sensitive to the side effects apparently and was debating a sale of BT. that didn't happen and that's a damn shame. the place was fun with enough cool folks that i felt very fond of. it had some awesome contributors, namely the "Pedal Breeder Crew" and the infamous FBK Possè!
also, a special thanks to Tat, Adi, Jay, Tan, Ryan, Chuck, Josh, Beef, Ben, Emmi, DFB, Nukes, R.I.P., Dave, Bull, Shredder and of course, Ed!!!
if i left any of my friends names out, it wasn't on purpose,...

Apparently it was a combination of Ed's medical issues and a bunch of crap talking from another forum. I just found out about the cross forum crap talking on another forum. I figured it would have been something that went down on basstalk, but I guess not. It's too bad Ed did not allow for contact exchange before closing the site.
