The Guitar Jam Eulogy Thread

**Flamencology** · 10-23-2009, 01:58 PM

A new birth is probably just around the bend, but in the meantime...

Would anyone like to say a few words?

**Phil513** · 10-23-2009, 01:59 PM

Someone threw my Les Paul in a pond.

**Cheese Grits** · 10-23-2009, 02:00 PM

It was awful, and I'm glad to see it wiped clean off the face of the Earth.

You can always tell the forums that are pushing up daisies.

**Tiltsta** · 10-23-2009, 02:01 PM

The automated forum argue-bots, JJ and Sad Navigator, are fighting in heaven now.

Worst. Forum. Evar.

Fuck that forum

Gennation said this would happen

Steve Vai or Belioz?...come on, you must have a preference.

**Kerouac** · 10-23-2009, 02:13 PM

The email address I used to register no longer exists, so if they send me one their to re-register than I won't be going back.

Seconds the motion.

Pisses on the ashes.

**Sad Navigator** · 10-23-2009, 02:38 PM

I never liked him.

**Phlat Phive** · 10-23-2009, 02:55 PM

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

But where exactly festering for years in a cesspool of filth, obscenity and inanity falls into that spectrum; I'm not sure.

So...

In the end all I can say is "

I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy on Guitar Jam who has actually met both of them in person.

Not at the same time of course but I'm just sayin'...

They are REAL?

**Coda** · 10-23-2009, 04:06 PM

...so what happened over there?...

They wouldn't let either of us in. We're doomed to wander this the internet until judgment day.

There was one night a few years ago that Jimmy was in town and there was a chance that both of them were going to show up at my gig. I requested that the club encase the stage with bullet proof glass (the kind with chicken wire embedded in it) but it was all for naught, Sad Navigator showed and Jimmy did not.

The "Jimmy James thing" is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever been involved in. It's a case of two very similar people with totally divergent tastes/sensibilities getting on crossways with each other.

**Tiltsta** · 10-23-2009, 04:18 PM

Could have been the matter/anti-matter explosion of unspeakable power type situation. I have friends who argue like JJ and SN, and they get along fine and seem to enjoy each other's company. I guess some people like to argue.

**derivicus** · 10-23-2009, 04:20 PM

I tried to tell 'em that server rack was mounted all crooked.

Now all of the data bits have piled up in the back corners (leaving the Jimmy James chip buried).

Nicely Played, Mr. Wein.

Crash the servers so people will join your forum.

........ maybe you should just leave them alone.

**Phil513** · 10-23-2009, 05:05 PM

You guys think Critter Cam will show up?

Good point.

I think we have our own.

**Tiltsta** · 10-23-2009, 05:15 PM

I'm guessing we will all lose our post counts again, like the last time they 'upgraded'.

That would make me feel like I've wasted a little less time this year

**Cheese Grits** · 10-23-2009, 05:20 PM

It would be awesome if they came back with no OJ, no Guitar Jam, no Acoustic Guitars, and just one "Guitar" forum.

They should also consolidate the recording forums and get rid of the songwriting forum.

If they brought it down to one forum don't you think it would kill the appeal for a bunch of folks? EG, amps, effects all seem to have "native populations" that never venture into the other forums....might not "play well with others" either....OJ they can keep

That would kind of suck I think, you'd have 1/3 completely immature poop/pee/fart fans, 1/3 uber serious "I won't play a guitar that costs less than $4,500" guys and 1/3 of whatever the hell we are.

It might. Would I care? Probably not. I'm not interested in what ChuckyB thinks about national health care, et cetera.

The turf war would be epic... and moderated by someone other than me.

Considering the fact that Chuckyb went to college for 23 years to learn about it you should be interested.

We started that way and divided the forumz at the behest of the members.
