Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I urge you to reconsider. Please read the first post that established the thread five years ago in 2013:
Amps...Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"
This is a thread that was created for grumpy old amp techs, builders and user's. Where else would it logically belong but here.
Besides old people have bad memories and are set in their ways. We will never find the thread in a different location.
...The Party has spoken. You will comply.
This is not your forum.
POSSIBLY, BUT MANY OF US PAY TO KEEP THE SITE ALIVE!
Sorry, didn’t mean to shout. Caps lock was on.

The subject matter pertains to amps hence the thread title. Police action necessary.POSSIBLY, BUT MANY OF US PAY TO KEEP THE SITE ALIVE!
My initial visit was concerning Ampeg amplifiers. Although it has been a pleasure guys thanks and farewell
Chef, is everything OK with you and yours? You seem to be particularly grumpy of late and I’m worried about you!
I too urge you to reconsider this move.
Edit: For myself Amps is the only place I visit. I come here to visit, help as I can and keep in touch with the fellow members of this forum.
I also ask what harm are we doing to Talk Bass?

If @Chef is not a member, perhaps he could be given an Honorary Membership? Did somebody forget to feed him breakfast? Low blood sugar?
Fella's it's not a good idea to question the moderators or other staff in the open forums. Better to just PM him if you have concerns.
I don't see how it matters where our thread resides. What matters is what our thread is and who is in it.
Chef is a member. And a good guy. He's been lenient with us over the years.
All members and even visitors generate revenue for TB, in the form of advertisements if not a supporting member. There is nothing wrong with that, nor with TB making money for its owner(s). IMO it's none of our business if and how much money TB may makes, unless they are an NPO or a publicly traded corporation. This is not our property, so we are required to follow their rules, or leave. Just like Walmart, a restaurant, or a private residence.
I'm not a moderator, nor am I trying to act as one and tell anyone what to do. I just suggest accepting the decision or taking it to PM for a discussion, because we have had members banned for fighting back in open forum. This is just best for anyone concerned, and best for keeping the thread open IMO.

I expected more members to reply now. Either they haven't woken from their nap OR THEY CAN'T FIND THE THREAD!
maybe I'm in a parallel Dimension, but it seems This Thread is under miscellaneous under General forums under bass guitar under forums under home tabs. Is that not where it always originated from? If so in the future only discussion concerning amplifiers should be addressed?
It will come up on alerts as before.
[GRUMBLE] What's this? Accepting instructions?? Siding with authority??? Advising restraint???? Who are you? And what have you done with the BadExample we know and love?
I tell you!! Young people today!! Now, get the heck off my lawn . . . . before ... I ...
[/GRUMBLE]
Damn straight yer not.
No? Well see to it you don't start.
Deep down you're not really all that comfortable with this whole grumpy thing are you?
