The Watering Hole

Are we going to keep this one running?

I don't see the need to go back there right now.  I don't like the drama from on high.  I think this is my new home.  

If Charger intends to keep this place up, I'll hang here.  I'm up for the "fresh start" thing.  You guys decide.  

Wonder who the heck got zapped over there.  

This one is still running.  I am interested to see what the "iron hand of Mark" is going to mean over there. But this one takes no resources and is running on my webhost... so I figure I'll just keep it rolling.

well im  banned from the mark site.

That'll teach you to compare Beck to JP in a JP thread. LOL

Oh well, "To the BertCave" then.

it basically boils down to mark was wrong and i let him know about it. He couldnt handle it. he banned me. LOL.

Ive never been impressed with the guy and now he just keeps on dissapointing.

I will continue to post both places if they keep going, the folks I know from here/there are all good musicians, and I have enjoyed interacting in both places.

Too much melodrama.

I am more concerned that we don't mislay a Sheep or a Schils etc..  somewhere in the debacle.
or an IEG.

I don't care for  the moderation thing as it puts artificial boundaries on  debate - where is the line.
90% of the time the interesting stuff in a thread is at a tangent to it's stated purpose.

The understandable urge is to pull things out and make the "interesting thing" it's own thread and organise it - and it doesn't work as like life the interesting things are mostly organic and unexpected - basically the stuff you can organise you have an office for and it becomes boring.

I think the Rocket section was like that - Rocket was doing the interesting stuff naturally for a year at least at the WH and it was all  good - but so good that the "community" gave him a section at which point the vibe probably changed -  like he was in an office promoted to the  title "head of recording" or something.

Ends up in some moderation war crap going off all the time -  and ....

It is best not to set up things like this as for all the fighting that goes without moderation - the alternative is far more crappy and doesn't last long and/or stay real  - only reality is that it turns into a political  bitch fest about who's in or out.

Count me out of that here or WH

I do think that this is going to be my place.

I actually emailed Derek about the BertCave not knowing what was going to happen.  

I'll probably keep posting in both.  But, I tell you what, it's quite dead over there (listens to the crickets).

Exactly!  Like why DID Chase sell his Bogner anyway?  :-?

FB's fault.  He convinced him that the Axe FX was as good as the Bogner!   ;D

I saw that sheep is registered here.  No IEG or Schils yet.  I was actually surprised that IEG was not banned by mark... seemed like the kind of thing he was talking about being ged up with.  But no matter.

And I agree.  You're not going to see much moderating from me beyond fixing problems and moving posts to the correct forum, etc. I have already handed over a bunch of forums to other people and I expect they'll pretty much do the same.  I like the idea of being able to post without worrying about saying the right thing--we all have enough of an internal filter holding us back, the last thing we need is someone outside also watching our every word.

It was kind of weird how fast he disappeared after that... would have liked to see him around more.  He has serious tracking skills--lots we can learn about guitar recording from him.  I think you're right, something about the vibe changed for him maybe...

on Rocket,

He got very busy with his work they were sending him out of town to work, doing consulting etc.

The few times I have talked to him, very rare really, he is simply swamped trying to do his job and care for his family.

Do miss his friendship though, let alone his knowledge and ideas.

yeah, I hang where my logos are used.  

mostly lurking these days, too busy for guitar more often than not.

Is that your logo? I love it.

Too bad, sucks to be too busy for guitar.  If I didn't have a studio to go to and play guitar at, or a band doing occasional gigs, I would never play.  Now that we have a piano in the house, I play that way more...
