thegearforum.com Is Losing Prolific Members

Post by Ritchie's Party Hat »

There were a handful of prolific and popular posters there that have either quit the board or quit and had their profile deleted; no posts from any of them in a long time.

We know of the board hack a bit ago but there's got to be some other skulduggery going on. Or maybe it was just the hack? :?:

they brought in an "attack fag" sock puppet account and started several sock-puppet-pile-ons recently. the site-runners quickly back-filled the vacated spaces with more fake accounts, almost simultaneous to the accounts that got banned or just quit the site.

in the end, it's just 4 or 5 gay dudes stomping around, trying to make it look like the site isn't dead, running a bunch of fake accounts and making noise.

no. my research shows the 3 site-runners over there are like 50-year-old fags. they try to validate themselves as "guitar players" by constantly posting about "playing gigs"..
of course, these are "gigs" where they lose money every time they go out. everyone in the "band" they're in is still working a full-time job, and has to juggle work schedules into practicing & playing.


the after-show party at these dubious "gigs" probably looks more like this..

"playing gigs" = evening part time employment at the local dildo kiosk. :lol:

I don't think anyone really cares.

I know I don't. That place is full of fuckheaded euro-fags, queerbaits trolling for anal sex, and whiny crybaby millennial snowflakes.

Not to mention they recently got hacked. :roll:

The only reason I was there was because they were encouraging members to post clips of themselves playing guitar.

I play guitar damn near everyday, and I record a lot.. so I was posting a lot of clips and was winning the "Do Something" challenge over and over again.

I had already posted like 18~19 tracks in the current season (which started about 2 weeks ago) when they banned my account.

Sounds like they want an exclusive Pole Smokers Only club.

That's not idle speculation..

I was literally told that by one of the site-runners via private message, 5 minutes before they banned my account.
