Stop posting at HCAF - let's crush that place

[CrunchBerries]

Not entirely 100% stop posting, but that forum has to die in the activity department. Only posts would be to respond to people who don't know where everybody's at -> GuitarAmpBoard.com

I know it seems like that's how it already is, but people here should - out of principal - stop creating new threads there and posting anything else than -> we're at GuitarAmpBoard.com


Agreed? What say ye GABAF mates?

[this is paul]

Yo gabba gabaf!

I'm in

[madrigal77]

I say we porn bomb them on principal. Normally I think that crap is stupid, but since they basically killed the place to appease google, I say we get google pissed off at them with porn

[Noizemaker]

I would be fine with pr0n bombing except for the fact that if they do fix it, then I would be permaIPbant.

And that would be bad...how? I mean, IDK about you, but even if they go back to vbulliten right now and have it running great, I'm done there.

I know i wont be "cool" for stating this but can't you see you'll just be making more work for the mods, like JC and k-biz? They're not the ones who made the dumb assed decisions over there but they'll be the ones you punish. Use your grey matter a little bit.

tl;dr: don't porn bomb them

Ah, I didn't realize they were still actually modding there. I though they were done there. In that case, you're right. NVM then!!

[BroSlinger]

I don't want to attract choads to this place. Can't we just word of mouth it through Facebook or something!?

[Noizemaker]

I'm still in for not posting tho.

Especially with the fact that they are mods here as well.

I never logged back in. Fuck that shithole

we are pioneers, gentlemen. one day, our children's children will ask, "granpapa, tell me of the days of old, of the toppling of the scumden empire before the light came?"

It's not about starting shit... its the opposite. All you have to do is stop posting. You don't have to go and tell people anything. If some people feel like leaving some guitarampboard links over there, then that's fine. Just giving people an option, and where everyone is now..

the coolest people from hcaf seems to have ended up at that maplifers forum. we need to get some of them here.

No matter where you go, you will always be nelo.

[NeloAngelo]

i have been nelo since i started using forums in 2003. on the official metallica fanclub forum.

[Zozobra]

Maps is a good forum if a little slow. I'll mention this place over there.
I think between here, maps and ilovefuzz for the replacement hcfx doom room I'm pretty set. Its a real shame to see hcaf fuck itself to pieces like it has done but if they're hellbent on using an unfriendly front end then fuck em.

[NeloAngelo]

they were dead set on tying the forum to the main site, like there was any useful information on the forum that wasn't already on the main site.

everyone knows what goes on in internet forums. the only way to make it clean and main page worthy would have been to ban a majority of the users. but they were smart enough to know that would give the site a bad rep, so they did this and pretty much forced us to walk away.


kudos to them. they will realize what a huge mistake they made when their traffic drops to half or less.

but they've already done this once before and we kicked and screamed for the old forum layout again and they caved and changed it (sort of).


suffice to say though, after this last change, I will not be posting there anymore.

I don't think we need to do anything for HC to die

We should get a doom room here too (there's a "low and slow" thread in the music subforum)

I never contributed to the HCFX doom room but I lurked there all the time to check out cool tunes, pedals and maps.
