Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[G-Dog]

I think several of the moderators gave us several quick run downs of what we are, and what we are not, allowed to discuss in this thread:
=-=-=-=OFF TOPIC FORUM RULES: READ BEFORE YOU POST=-=-=-=

While most of it seems like common sense, I think the only hard part is "no music related discussions, at all". Since, obviously, we are all bass players here, it might be a little awkward to try to "leave that at the door. Just saying.

The thread won't get closed due to occasionally wandering into music-related discussion.

Unless it’s about Korn.

Thank you @Pacman for restoring our little corner of the universe. I also point out the many of us do contribute to other threads, I for one love bass, amps, and luthiers threads and read/respond often.

From this point on for me: I DO NOT want to ever see any political discussion on this thread again. Even if you make veiled reference to politics, YOU'RE NOT THAT CLEVER, everyone knows you're breaking the rules. If you can't follow this very clear rule, LEAVE THE THREAD. This thread has been thankfully resurrected AGAIN due to the kindness of the moderator. DON'T ABUSE IT.

It wouldn't hurt for us to actually discuss bass related subjects, which is what this thread is all about. I have plenty to say about the amps I use, my basses, and I have plenty of questions concerning effects, strings, lutherie, and so on. So let's pick it up a bit, shall we guys?

Lastly, if there are warnings about this thread, I highly recommend that if you have to contact the moderator, that you do it IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER. You are grown people, stop acting like children and calling moderators offensive names. I've learned through communications that some of our members feel entitled to crap on the moderators and talk about being paying members, etc. If you don't have something constructive to say, DON'T SAY IT. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS THREAD HAVE TO CLOSE BEFORE WE LEARN THESE LESSONS? SHAPE UP, GOF'S, AND BEHAVE. I happen to like this thread and members, I'd like to see it stay open.

Thank you and have a great day.

We'll said !

Make Grumpy Old Farts Great Again

Egads. I haven't even got all the leaves raked up and now they are calling for 2 to 4 inches of snow tomorrow sandwiched in between an ice storm in the morning and another one in the afternoon. Hmmm... toilet paper ..check.......milk.. check ......bread..check......salami , ham and cheese..check. OK now for the really important stuff.
Rum.. check......vodka..check.......tomato juice..check.......coke and sprite..check....three different kinds of beer..check....a bottle of Fireball..check. Bring it on mother nature , I'm prepared.

Likewise here. Been awhile since I last posted here to GOF's, but I'm still a card carrying member. Retired from my old job end of February this year after 35+ years; now I do consulting work. Job just finished up this afternoon...right on time I must say! Looking forward to laying low til the start of next construction season. Good to be back!

Since social media has evolved since TB was founded, maybe we need a new paradigm.

I could evolve into a starfish or a chemistry professor.
Neither would be a very large paradigm shift for me.

I'm not smart enough to understand that one, please explain for this dum southern guy

Chef,

Don’t tell me that the mods don’t have a private thread to gripe in.

If you don’t, you should. It’s very therapeutic. That’s all this thread is.

If I could evolve into a sponge or a sloth, either one would be an upgrade.
And I ain't even got a pair o' dimes to rub together!

Thanks, @Chef and @smperry, for the clarification on musical relations. And, @HeavyDuty, I don't think that will be a problem, kandy relations aside.

Maybe we need to make an exception for Grumpy Underage Mod Posters(GUMPs).

OK, lemme know. That I gotta see.

I am confused. Don't know what I can or can't post here.

Until I do, I will remain . Do I hear cheering?

Soulman, I'm convinced that the great majority of us GOFs can continue to just be ourselves as we have been doing, perhaps with more vigilance to only report rule-breaking posts without engaging.

I trust that someone will correct me if I am wrong?

Mmmmmm, sounds like The Combo Clubhouse, but with a lot more peacekeeping responsibilities.
