What Will You Not Miss At All About HC?

Still?

I would think that the current topic would be "Has Guitar Fetish jumped the shark?"

:lol: There's been some of that going on, too. I stay away from that topic.
I think I bought some knobs from them once. No problems, but I will always believe that you get what you pay for. Sometimes you can find a bargain, but a Chevy is never a Benz.

I was seriously confused when I saw this thread and thought "HC is shutting down altogether? Make up your mind!" Then I noticed the dates.
 
As a new HC user who set a record for the most replies and views, until I got a lifetime ban, I don't miss it.
Online is kinder and gentler now.

ellengtrgrl! I'm interested in your impression of me, here in Mark Weins' forums.
 
I was confused as well until I noticed the post dates!

I hated HC so much that I banned myself (requested it). I was "Jason" (creative username, I know). I found that if one isn't careful, forums (especially HC) can bring out the worst, most irritating aspects in myself, and I tend to think that otherwise good people can come across as real jerkoffs. I look back & think "God damn I've said some stupid bullshit over the years...":facepalm: I'd be scared to dredge up all my old posts there. Despite the occasional lapse:(, I think I'm a much better forumite here, than there. I was mostly insulted or ignored there. People would say some bullshit, just awful stuff about nothing really, & I would start doing the same thing somehow. If I've EVER insulted ANYONE online, then or now, or come across as overly serious, or sensitive or whatever, I apologize.

I've always had mental illness issues (severe anxiety/depression)- & I hope I'm ok w/you people.

I think the whole insult/rudeness thing tends to happen with larger less personal online communities, you'll always find someone to argue with and anonimity really pulls it out of you.

having stuff like linking to facebook profiles and whatnot for forums and smaller communities (like this one does) is the best way around it I reckon

This was originally posted when HC was down for close to a week last year and people were really bent out of shape about things over there. For the most part their problems with the site have gone away with the upgrade to vBulletin 4 but I bumped the thread because it was kind of funny to read almost a year later..
