So then, all this nasty negativity ...

Negativity in moderation is fine. However, negativity mixed with a liberal dose of arse-headedness isn't.

Remember: head for thinking, arse for sitting on.

Thats one of those "need a lol-wiz" posts.

There are one too many threads being negative about the negative comments complaining about a perceived negativity on the forum.

A pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist.

“Flat planet”... great name for a band!

I've been on here since the music radar days and personally I find this place a haven of decency.

Of course there is the odd little spat but that is only human nature, much better than some US forums when everyone has fixed smiles and an unreal Disneyland type vibe going on.

The help that is freely given, the jolly banter and occasional ribbing is what gives this place its uniqueness.

I rarely see any negativity but then I don't look for it.

Maybe, but if you read two of them together you get a positive thread.

I like the way you can say fuck, shit and arse on here, in a positive way of course. You don't get that on other forums, if you were to say cunt on any other forums they would hang you out to dry, usually while half the members threaten to leave while the other half nurse them into reconsidering.

Yep, try using Fretboard syntax (i.e dark humour) on The Gear Page - it doesn’t compute with the rednecks on there

Bridgehouse

I’ve met a lot of fretboarders in real life. Always positive. 

If if I had to meet TGP members in real life I would want personal security and rubber gloves/PPE

Ive learned how to bypass the censorship on other forums, write the word, lets say ''fuck'', highlight a letter, any letter in the word then change the colour of that letter to Black, then post the comment onto the forum. I can only imagine the look on some peoples faces to be that of offended horror and slight amazement but its a sure fire way towards a temporary or even permanent ban.. Makes me laugh every time!

I prefer to make up my own crunting swear words. That'll show the little sackwodgers.
