A Review Of The Forum

[chrisola]

good thread!

I like this forum... i've been a hugely active forumite in the past on other forums (games & bands etc) but dont reaaally bother anymore since i cant post at work now.


I dont even read the Pickup section much, there seems to be alot of 1 time posts saying 'i'm thinking of a BKP when i get another guitar in 3 years' type posts and the starters never reply or disappear... a FAQ sticky thread is definitely needed.

I think a sticky with 'Forum Rules < New Users Read >' would be a good idea, include a link to the search page and point out its just as quick to hit search and read what comes up as it is to create and type a new thread and wait for replies.

On the whole its good, plenty of nice people who actually KNOW stuff and arent just BS ego maniac posers trying to get one up on you.

I do like the random\useless threads which pop u in Time Out and Dressing Room ;)

We still havent had an argument where someone calls someone else a 'geek' for using the internet...every forum NEEDS one of those at some point :lol:

Yeah, but previous experience on other forums says that people won't bother reading it...

Unless maybe (computer bods help me out here) we made people unable to post until it had been registered that they had read it (or at least been to the page)

EDIT:

How much do you bet that if that happened it would be Caffeine Junkie on the receiving end of the "geek" insult :lol:

its possible, but most people would just go to the page and then continue, without reading it
