Nowadays, it just seems that an abundance of guitar players are soy boys. Pathetic.

Did anyone tell them idiots over at TGP electric guitars and amps are made with and powered by fossil fuels. I'm sure lots of them play hand flutes.

Oh hi welcome to Sevenstring.org ? ?It's actually worse than that.. the first couple months I was there I was just posting memes and GIFs.. funny shit. I got pulled into several PM conversations with multiple people there.
They get together in private group chats and target people they don't agree with politically. Try to trigger them, try to get them to react/respond with something they can then report.
There's a little cabal there that seem to live for that kind of shit.
They do the same shit

I've only ever played 6 string guitars, so I never went there.

Something like my 7th string was removed during surgery.

That's gonna be a "no" for me, dog.

I may check it out.
Over the past couple of weeks I've re-joined all the forums I've been perma-bant from in the past.

Hey all,
I'm one of the owners/mods at TGF, my username there is DrewJD82. We did indeed start the forum after TGP's bullshit (my DrewJD82 account was just permabanned on TGP today for foul language....on a forum with a curse filter...). The idea was to have a place that was less-moderated than TGP but without the politics/religion and keeping it 'clean' enough so people can view freely at work, since most of us are posting during the day while at work. Which really just means we put a curse filter on and I write my sentences like "Some f*cking c*nt at TGP probably saw me make my own curse filter and c*nted the f*ck out over it and reported me like a c*nt." ?
Every forum has it's own vibe and several of us agreed on how we'd want to run our own forum, so we made it happen. I wouldn't say we thought this place was "too extreme", I've been a member here for over a decade. I won't speak for the other owners, but I'm personally sick of politics. When you're a non-partisan who can't stand the current state of either party, dealing with the reality that both parties do indeed exist is enough bullshit for me, I come to forums specifically to get away from that shit. Alas, Rig-Talk already exists and it's safe to say that those who post on gear forums know they can come here to discuss/argue politics, there's no need for anyone to try to recreate it somewhere else, IMO.
The vibe of TGF is mainly comedic, us mods/owners certainly don't take ourselves too seriously and fortunately, the members who have joined are cool enough they don't even make us do our jobs. There was an initial push of modeling users as a lot of the issues we had at TGP started in the Digital & Modeling sub, well, Rig-Talks own cunt Donnie B And His Merry Gang Of 200 Cunt Alts played a part in that, along with some moderators for a company that recently released a product that rhymes with Wad Vortex, but I believe a lot of that has been covered here previously. I think it's probably a 50/50 mix now of amp users/modeling guys.
I started posting on forums when I was 14, when Jemsite was in it's infancy. I'm 40 now and I've met some amazing friends and have had some awesome life experiences as the result of posting on a forum. I'm a gear nerd, I love all gear from all eras and love talking/learning more about it. There's zero desire to be "the big dog in town", we just wanted to create a bullshit-free forum.

Good on ya mate. 
Good luck with running the forum man. It has to be a labour of love IMHO or else peeps of the ilk you mentioned will bring you down / live rent-free in your head.
If you ever want or need to shoot the shit about it, I'm here bro'.

I appreciate that man, thanks!
I’ve definitely seen all the crazy shit that occurs on forums over the years, along with the day to day headaches. It’s inevitable when you welcome a large portion of the general public to come hang out. But you also get some gold every now and then, like that Larry thread.
I’m halfway through it and had to take a break but I can‘t wait to pick it back up!Similar threads
