man this forum is really going to sh!t... Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Loading...

i have been a long time member of this forum and have enjoyed successful sales and purchases for years, enjoyed meeting great enthusiastic vintage buffs and sharing knowledge here.

but it seems in the past year, esp in the for sale section, SO MANY PEOPLE are bickering and slandering each other and their gear for sale.

its getting ridiculous.

long time assets to this forum (such as mikey777 and johnnyringo to name afew) have been coming under fire for their business practices. people new and old to this forum are constantly complaining about other members and starting petty internet fights over stupid semantics. what the hell guys?? why is everyone being so b!tchy lately?? i owe this site a debt of gratitude for the knowledge ive gained towards vintage gretsch and ludwig drums and am very grateful for it.

i dont know if its just jealous, broke window shoppers or people who enjoy starting crap but its getting out of hand. used to be a great place to hang, now its a sh!t show and a b!tchfest.

> now its a sh!t show and a b!tchfest.

Unless there are a bunch of invisible posts in this thread, it looks like -you- are the only one who is 'b!tching' here.

Note: You are not 'forced to read' any threads that upset you. Rather than censor everybody else, how about using the block feature, or simply 'not reading' any of the threads you find so personally painful.

Too many great drums to list here!

Money, Ego, and Fear............

Distasteful cohorts......

Not surprising in a For Sale section on a Forum with more than it's fair share of Alpha Personalities............

Well put.......so true. Watch out cause' your thread may be erased depending on who deems it to be offensive and of course depending on who you are friends with, it may never come down. This simply may be a bad, overdrawn storm that will eventually pass.....I hope, but I'm still waiting....:(

Cool! A Reality Show on the VDF? Awesome! (Like it's never happened before.)

Screw this "General Drum Questions" room. Gotta click on over to Prime Time (Which are the good ones?). Later......

not really sure what you are talking about roundbadgedude, i guess i must have missed something somewhere. i've only been here for a month or so and so far have enjoyed every minute. all the guys here have been really cool with me and have been very helpful and willing to answer my silly questions. being a girl in a guys world, i have to say i've been welcomed very kindly.

i haven't seen any b!tchen, lots of opinoins, but nothing you are applying is going on that i have read anyway. any time you come to any kind of forum with so many members, all with different taste, different opinions and different parts of the world you will run into all the differences but just coz some one says their opinion does not mean they are saying anyone elses opinion is wrong.

lets all just be happy and thankful for what we do have. it could be way worse.

Stay Wiggly,

I really like it here.

It "is" it's own little microcosm, a little world, if you will.

All types of people.

Some problems?

Some differences of opinion?

Of course.

Just like the real world.

But the good guys here outshine the whiners.

So many GOOD/Knowledgeble guys here.

I think it's WAY worth it to hang here.

"Ignore that silly little man behind the curtain."

stepping off of soapbox.................. now

thanks SA

I, for one, really enjoy my time here. Plenty to learn about a subject I love. Really knowledgeable people and some really colorful personalities as well. I see a lot of guys (and gals) really going out of their way to help one another. There are a few times where things get out of hand and that was certainly the case with the recent incident. Sometimes we apparently take our hobby (which it is to vast majority of us) far too serious. No reason to get personal when deals don't work out like we would like. Let's treat one another the way we would like to be treated and remember, you can always vote with your dollars.

Let's get on with lovin' some drums! Happy New Year to all of you!!
