OK. But you've admitted it's a place to make friends/have fun. Then why should there be stricter rules. Off topic should be a laid back atmosphere. There will be some threads that you just don't want anything to do with, avoid them. In fact, add everyone who starts a thread you don't like on your ignore list.

Before I say anything Matt, rest assured you're not one of the time wasters I've been getting anoyed with.

The reply to your coment is found in one of Bruce's posts:-

"The trouble is when the juvenile postings becomes the 'norm' and everything else is in a minority - when the whole site is defined as childish (as you put it) then we are in trouble!"

That's so true it's not funny. As long as this place stays a bass playing site first, have all the fun you want. But if it starts to feel over all less like a bass players resource and more like teentalk.com or talkstupud.com, the bass players stop comming. I see this happening already.
 
Here I sit, alone, pondering, wondering "pick up the phone!" the girl I love is on the other end, making love to my best friend, what shall I do, I never know, curse myself for falling for this ho!. It's all a bit of sympathy, just to get a bit of pity, witty?

you think I am what I am not, thought that you taught me the same stuff? rough is your life or not rough enough? you live in a lie and your words are bluffs.

hold my hand while I go, to the land of shimmering snow, and little birds and happy trees, no more bruised elbows and scrapped knees. please, take these, these things I bring, accept the gifts from your new king.
