The Dude Pit club?

[FL Knifemaker]

I bought my first "online bass" from someone on the Pit. It was a NICE Conklin Rocco Prestia Edition. I wish I'd kept it

I liked the Pit, too bad things went sideways

 

[davec]

I agree that maybe numbers are not the way to go so I'm ditching my and just leaving the Sig "Dude pit club member"

Lowell, Jack. THANK YOU for posting that. I'm very happy you've chosen to post on this thread, and very happy you're contributing to this thread. Not only I thank you, but the boss thanks you too.

I honestly dont know what it is, but if someome would reiterate what happened that made is so bad, either here or via PM.

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[TSanders]

I met some great folks at the Pit, some of which will remain lifelong friends, but I dont miss how things ended there.

The only forum Ive ever been banned from, in the end 4 times and 3 different versions.

I discovered TB and the Pit pretty much simultaneously in early 2007. The Pit did have its own special charm for a while there, it is indeed too bad things ended up as they did.

A pit full of dudes? Are they studly? Where do I sign up?

Actually, it was about 1% female--just like TB, I s'pose.

 

[vinny]

I mostly just lurked over there with a few posts now & then. I bailed when it got so janky at the end

I'm sorry, but thats just not what this thread is about. You can search and find out a lot of the details. But for this thread lets just agree that ended poorly and use this as a way to remember the Births and Weddings and bury the funeral.

Its good to see the names old names again. I hope EVERYONE is well.

I'm sure it would be more interesting for everyone here to read than an exclusionary-feeling "club" based on another website you used to visit.

I registered there but very rarely visited because it wasn't a very good forum

 

[Barkless Dog]

Was Redbird

Had some of my best Forum memories there, made a lot of friends, made a sub community, then created our own country (Gibson Bass forum - Last Bass OutPost, Vintage Guitars & Bass).


I tried to see the best in people, but it turned out wrong. Some things are more powerful than positive vibes.

Still it was a great place filled with great people and wish the Dude luck (I am not a hater)

Steve helped greatly with Lakland, Dark Stars, Thomas Strings etc..
Unfortunately, nothing ever stays the same and most moved on.

In better times-

I did some of my first internet deals in the Gas Station there too. Still have some of the basses. Picked up some nice patio furniture there later.

I loved the Pit and almost all the guys there, but that was the past. Things changed, quite a bit, and I have no desire to revisit them.

but you just did... LOL

 

[James Hart]

THe pit is the only forum I ever been banned from!

It was a unique social network before there were social networks...thanks to all who were there!

Yea, I remeber you over there on the Pit. As much as I like TB, the Pit was the only message forum, I really felt I had virtual "friends". Hope Steve is doing well these days.

Agreed.

 

[TBird1958]

As Barkless Dog says, I met a lot of really nice people at The Pit and made some real friends there, and recall it fondly. The Gibson forum does live on at it's own new home, we share knowledge and humour as a clost knit family........Thanks Steve, hope all is well.
