According to HC, we've been pruned

[wrongnote85]

you're metalchick1986 aren't you?

[Rocket Sauce]

Still playing the victim, eh Steve??

Some of the shit you've posted over there remind me of this lovable character from the early part of last decade:

[Statutory Gape]

Not surprising given how parent company GC is in deep financial shit.

[sleewell]

Got tired of only talking to your alts at hc mewbs?


Lolololololol

So you trash us, lurk here till you can't take it bc hc is dead and come graveling back?

You are a psycho

[NeloAngelo]

go fuck yourself steve.

[GAS KING]

snip.

I don't know you, but I can relate with you .

[valtyr]

I don't get the "pruning" analogy. There was no pruning. People weren't cut off, they left.

HC amp forum is dead, and the other boards aren't fairing much better.

Actually, I was cut off because my password didn't work on the new mess. I did send an email with info as instructed but they didn't reply so apparently I was pruned because i'm too lazy to send another email.

I feel really clean now that I've been groomed, or pruned.

Wow. I'm not sure it matters much given the drastic reduction in traffic. You aren't missing much.

steve thought he had peeps back then too. that's funny.


as someone that frequented hc all the way back to Perry's Ohio Blues Jams back in the mid to late 90's I can say for certain that Moobs was always a dumb (removed by admin) that no one liked.

[sleewell]

hey guys we dont need all those cool guys that left, we soon will be just like them: rolling like big dawgs.

Also what is this shit about hc's old days?

Back in the day it was filled with racist porn bombing trolls, Carl made random appearances along with bluesaholic where both would rant at length using every derogatory term in the book and most of the first page was full of SPAM threads from the hardcore gear flippers.

The old House of Metal dudes were cool, but the childish flame wars were the driving force.




Do some of you just prefer to remember things differently to sound cool? Just live in the present and quit seeing the past through rose colored glasses.

I kind of liked the "wild west" less pc atmosphere because my work days would just fly by back then when the office was slow.

That and the reviews section kept me occupied for hours.

Now I know why I ignored "SteveDK" back then.

I went looking for the review section the other day and either I just can't find it in that clusterfuck, or it's just fucking gone.

yeah when I talk about the HC old days I am talking about their reviews section for the most part, I would spend hours reading that stuff. There was a time that reading HC reviews was almost mandatory before buying some gear. I miss that.

As for the forums, I think we have potential to make it better than ever here But then again, I'm biased

Word!! That's why I went there too. I always ALWAYS researched my shit on there, and I had written so many reviews when I used to get new gear.

Fuck Anderton.

[sleewell]

yeah i didnt read any of andertons stuff but would read the reviews and used those prices to determine value on both stuff i was selling and stuff i was buying. those reviews were sweet, if anderton is trying to claim those as part of his awesome content he is an even bigger douche than initially suspected.

There is definitely trooph here, bro. Whenever anybody starts any shizz with me these days, part of me always wants to say, "Ninja, please. I cut my teeth in the flame wars of Harmony Central's amp forum. Bring. It."

And R.I.P., HC gear reviews. Much missed.

[Ostinato Rubato]

This has been an educating read.

[OverDriven]

Can we just have Steve banned on the premise that he will never fit in on any forum and just starts shit wherever he goes? There's no sense having him here, and he can't add anything constructive.

[hardvalve]

Quality thread. Would read again.

[Axe]

hardvalve doesn't seem like hardvalve without the amp-with-big-teeth avatar.

hardvalve doesn't seem like hardvalve lately. What's up with that HV? You haven't been nearly as much of an asshole here... and I honestly kinda liked that about you. The purposeless dickery was funny IMO, and it never offended me because there was no real intention behind it. Just another "shade of grey"? If you will?

[soundgardener75]

The fun of hcaf was always the off topic post.
Btw hey guys !

What's up? Bringing back the Wrestling Thread too?

[Yarbicus]

We should just preemptively ban anyone named Steve. Oh, wait...

He said himself more than a couple of times that he was just a complete unrepentant asshole.

I mean, I can see that. I just never took it with any real mal-intent.
