Standard Operating Procedure for Older Threads

[smogg]

I just start a new thread, because I want an answer to my question and I want to discuss things with people who are active now, not who died in 2002 right after they posted their last post. When somebody says to "use the search function" I ignore them. If they don't shut the hell up I place them on my mute poster list.

In any case, those who say that usually go to the trouble of searching for me, then conveniently posting a link right next to their angry comment, thus doing my work for me.

Not caring if those people hate me and letting them do all the work for me has worked pretty well so far. If you are burdened with a conscience over what some clowns on the internet think of your posting habit, it might not be the best strategy for you.

OR you could just use the search function.....

if this thread were milk sitting out it would be too old to partake of.

Pretty much don't take mind of those who complain about opening threads are resurrecting old ones, without doing so TB would die a slow and painful death as all anyone would talk about is Fender and tort....

 

[eyeballkid]

Dude..there' already a ton of threads on that. DO A SEARCH!!

TB would die a slow and painful death as all anyone would talk about is Fender and tort....

Arguably, this has already happened !

 

[eyeballkid]

according to "the Google" there are 12,400 separate fender and tort links to talkbass!! wow... way to go guys.

I look at really old threads I was involved in...and I'm not even that person anymore. It's as if if I'm reading a post by someone else using my name.

When I first started here I was happy, carefree with a certain kind of innocence.

Those were the days...gone forever now...

Note that when you bring your zombie thread to the forefront, you can talk with living, annoyed people and consult the wisdom of sages past -- accessible to all parties in the conveniently resurrected zombie thread.

Before you attempt to reply, I don't care what you think, but if you bothered to search, you'd already know that:

I have this experience currently as there is one member that found a strange altered pic of my actual face online (totally not knowing of any connection to me) and has it as his profile pic. Im constantly seeing myself saying things I never said. Its kinda freaky..and funny.

btw... its S.O.P to hijack threads about zombie threads with useless tangents and drivel.

 

[B-string]

I found out there is a B String (no hyphen) that joined before I did. He also moved from AZ to CA, I moved from CA to AZ. When we are in the same thread I wonder how confused people get?

 

[JimmyM]

Not very. His name has no hyphen, and he uses periods to punctuate sentences

And random weird feces.

Unlike Jimmy.

 

[5StringBlues]

Bwah!

 

[MarkA]

Expelliarmus! Unsee! Unsee!

 

[ZenG]

hmmm...the "search function".

Go to any subject in "search" and there are previous posts about it.

Which makes any posts after the original redundant and unnecessary.

Hey look, a squirrel!

according to "the Google" there are 12,400 separate fender and tort links to talkbass!! wow... way to go guys.

So are these officially the most talked about subjects on TalkBass?
