Do people really quit talkbass?

[B-line]

No sir, I do not!

I totally believe that.
WHAT could the comparison of the two possibly be?

Wait..not sure I wanna know!

It all revolved around 1) who was the better bass player, and 2) Flea's "tangity-tang-tang-tangity" tone vs. Fieldy's "clickity-clackity-clickity" tone.

It was both sad and humorous, but there were people here who were willing to fight to end for either one.

.and I have no trouble at all envisioning the battle that must have ensued!

Now I remember you. How has the replacement foot been treating you?

 

[Fat Freddy]

I was going to quit but I decided that I didn't want to disappoint my dedicated disciples.........

I have a few of those, but they mostly just follow me around to razz me or try & discredit me.

Or just change their user names?

Seems strange to me that people would come here everyday for years and then suddenly just STOP. My memory sucks and I never remember anyone's user name anyhow, but I know there are countless people who used to post here all the time, and they just disappeared. Some got canned, some announced their done-ness with the site, others just vanished.

Anyhow, if you've changed, or know of any people who have changed their names over the past 10 years please fill me in. And if you have any thoughts on why people suddenly quit cold turkey after years with this addiction, share your thoughts on that too.

In short I guess, who's gone - and why?

I'd like to know why KbD (Killed By Death) was banned. Or is asking about that frowned upon here?

Probably best to PM him if you really want (his version of) the story.

I don't think it's possible to PM a banned member.

Oh crap....I didn't realize he was CURRENTLY banned.

Edit: Looks like a perm-ban as well!!

 

[RhytmEarl]

And only in the last few hours it seems.

I learned recently by another TBer who got banned that one can accumulate points, which eventually land you in the dog house for 30 days. Doesn't have to be a single horrendous infraction. Could be a bunch of warnings about discussing politics or breaking some other rule.

PMs are usually disabled when people are banned. If you really want to know you can post your email address and request that he emails you. Banned people can usually read posts, but not respond. Knowing KBD he'll be reading lots. So I might as well say... I'll miss you dude! Hope you're back soon!

When a poster gets banned, I look at the frequency with which they post. Past a certain frequency, I think, "wow; Mods did THAT GUY a huge favor..."

 

[Funky Ghost]

I'm still not here.

Me either
