Those guys would murder a whole hooker parade to go back to being coked out in the 80's.

Yeah....





Didn't the brad king guy that used to own RT and bought the cameron name also go to jail for beating up a hooker?


Those boys do not treat the ladies of the night well over there

Yeah Brad King kidnapped and beat up a hooker while partying out in California trying to "resurrect" the Cameron brand.

But I haven't seen the murder part yet. Which member was it?

I mean, the worst you could say about any of them was the dude that lived with his mom and talked about watching that Allan Degenerate show, and was convinced that Allan was the actual devil. At least Open Jam had funny characters. Rig Talk is like the leftovers of the worst 80s party of all time. You know the ones. Where everyone there is convinced they're the reason everyone else is there, nobody's sober, most are using a cocktail of drugs that would sterilize an elephant, and nobody is going to remember 99% of what happened.

Rig Talk is the morning after that party. Except with the shame and guilt of the morning after replaced with pride and anger.

I used to frequent there too, but it was too disorganized to really enjoy it.

I'd be surprised he has a basement. Last I heard he lived in a studio apartment.

JiveTurkey also put together a cool forum called The Gear Forum that seems great too. I need to start posting there too.
I also use TGP occasionally, although that forum is loaded with old bitter people who want to shit on everything done after the 60s. And the word filter that blocks out cuss words, ugh.. that's the main reason I left HC. But there are some good discussions there and at least is music centered.

I am for supporting any and all good gear forums, I'm not cagey about here and it's not a business for me so the more the merrier IMHO. But the bullshit going on at RT off topic is just ridiculous so I'm out of that one.

GuitarBilly wrote:The thing is, forums and social media will always be moderated.

The only question is who does the moderation, the staff (by setting forum rules), or the trolls (by running off everyone they don't agree with).

But there's no such thing as no moderation. It just doesn't exist. I've learned that fast enough when I started this forum.

Understood - and agree. There is "moderation", but it's essentially tacit approval of the troll/gang mentality behavior...

Yep. That's exactly what's happening there. It sucks because I'm an 80s/rack guy and RT was great for it. Oh well.
