[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1322246808' post='1448656'][list] [*]Interests:Interests getting longer now. Big Stu will be a bit annoyed. How long before he notices this? Oh well, in goes another sentence making it even longer. And another sentence goes in - how many more can I sneak in? How much more do I have to bung in before it gets noticed eh? I'm going to have to dig out War and Peace soon and put that here... [/list] [/quote] You also - your name goes on ze list!

[quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1322221722' post='1448098'] Wasn't me. [/quote] When you say "Wasn't me", don't you actually mean "Nee-nonny-no"???

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1322216551' post='1447974'] Today, I will do the latter..as it is a beautiful day and I am going to play [b]golf[/b]...so I hope none of you lot try and pick [b]holes[/b] in my posts to stop me... [/quote] Was that some kind of obscure vague pun that you didn't think BC was sharp enough to see?

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1322211604' post='1447877'] Basschat seemed to be more playful a couple of years ago, I sort of miss that. [/quote] I think that's more a reflection of what's going on in the real world than a reflection on BC itself. It creates a spiritual depression as well as an economic one.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1321879948' post='1443939'] Nah, I've had the sexist police after me before (not on this forum), and not liked it, and I'm a woman... [/quote] Why did that make me think of ..................? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-2kcPK79vY[/media]

[quote name='rumblejunkie' timestamp='1321924178' post='1444557'] hi folks , my name is Derek and ive only recently started playing the bass in earnest . [/quote] Welcome! Though I don't reckon much to "Earnest" as a band name......... I'll get me coat.............

[quote name='Wil' timestamp='1322148850' post='1447246'] it's just a board with some strings on. [/quote] If you look up "Fender" in any good music dictionary that's what it says. It does - you think I'm joking

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1321969023' post='1444883'] I pozzed (?) you just to be contrary. [/quote] I pozzed your poz just to complicate things.

[quote name='dc2009' timestamp='1321994745' post='1445352'] hmmm, it seems the majority are in favour of some kind of rep system, but they are divided between two options. Unless one of these options gets an outright majority, will you be axing the system altogether? [/quote] Only in the same way as the "majority" were in favour of the Con/Lib-Dem coalition - and we all know how popular that is with so many citizens of the country don't we folks! There'll be riots in Kiwi's bass cupboard - mark my words if there ain't!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321813567' post='1443377'] +1 [/quote] Thanks for that, though I'd have preferred a .......... no ...wait!...

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1321813104' post='1443366'] The instructions about this weren't very clear: I thought it worked like a 'like' button for individual posts and I didn't realise that the scores were being accumulated. This is very confusing: I'd like to reserve the right to disagree with someone's opinion on one subject, whilst still respecting their reputation. Or vice versa. There's another comment from Hamster about it being introduced in an attempt to make people behave more reasonably in off-topic. Is it possible to just activate the reputation for off-topic? I think it's a bit much to inflict it on the whole site, just because one tiny set of people in Off-Topic can't behave. I'd rather see individuals banned or Off-Topic removed altogether. Personally I think it should go. It doesn't improve anything, it's not clear how to use it, and we've managed fine without it for several years. [/quote] If I didn't think it counter-productive to the post I'd approve this post, pity I can't "Like" it instead .................. ah .............. I know ................... erm +1

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1321806553' post='1443231'] Test! [/quote] You passed!!

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1321780423' post='1442874'] Are there any true Englishmen still living in London ? Dave [/quote] There's a few

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1321529800' post='1440156'] I set the default email behaviour the other day and it may have changed something - double check your notification settings and see if that sets it to how it was before (working, but still not working properly) Cheers [/quote] It was this for me; now fixed - or at least I'll find out it's fixed next time I get quoted, messaged or replied to. Thanx!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1321804710' post='1443194'] .................. becoming dry and dull ..................... ............................. just another worthless cr*ppy bulletin board... [/quote] Sounds like the daily weather forecast on Rick Resource

[quote name='Vibrating G String' timestamp='1321746054' post='1442762'] That a mod would be heavily dropping hints and comments about it shows that the system is already being abused and far from anonymous. This particular mod has an argument with me in another thread and I feel this is being used to win that. I've already been told by one mod that I will be banned if I say anything negative about a mod. Yeah reputation system My girlfriend opened an account to mock the whole thing. [b]So you have a slander issue that's factually wrong[/b]. Sure she did it to protect me but am I going to tell her to stop as the internet is a scared place and people will get totally bent out of shape if you mock them? I'm sure there's no way this will be rectified short of simply silencing me. So long and thanks for all the fish. [/quote] Payback's a bitch ain't it !?! Hey guys!!!

I'm not falling for that - it's just a ruse to get me to change my settings back to "view signatures". I don't use a signature - I write an X in wax crayon & put a big thumb-print next to it.

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1321698639' post='1442024'] I know Mark Knopfler and Noel Gallagher are reported to be the same, and have seen photos of Jimi Hendrix writing lyrics with his right, who else is cross wired with their playing? [/quote] Duck Dunn is - Steve Cropper told me - who is also similarly "afflicted".

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321703352' post='1442130'] Not an issue with my profile - I'm not interested in anything. [/quote] That's not what your browsing history says! How can a man get through so much in so little time!!!

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1321702859' post='1442121'] Big_Stu - you can hide a persons signature easily by clicking on the 'x' at the top right of the signature. You can hide that person's or all sigs [/quote] Yeah I know - did that already - but to the best of my knowledge you can't hide 5 or 6 column inches of "interests" which looks moronic next to a full screen of blank space after a one line - or one word - or worst of all single emoticon. My scroll finger's working overtime!

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1321701778' post='1442091'] I think the like thing is a bit of an ego thing. But it's handy on threads where someone makes a good point in a discussion or says something funny - people can identify with them without the need to post a response with something like '+1' which is a waste of a post. [/quote] I've no problem with that; done it myself. What I do think is a waste of space is the endless lists of every single bit of kit a person owns - or worse still a huge list of every artist a person listens to - there should be a limit to the number of lines that can occupy. This just seemed to be change for changes sake - I voted to remove it all.

[quote name='Heartbreaker' timestamp='1320341096' post='1425633'] Hi Big Stu, no its a chromed plastic frame that were fitted to the earliest EB3's. They were not chromed from about 63 on. [/quote] Sorry for the delay - and thanks - genuine case of learning something every day.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1321369220' post='1438291'] Skanks is really high but still only good as well. [/quote] But when he's bad he's better!

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1321368366' post='1438281'] So... I have a green box with "7" written on it in my profile. I guess that's because 7 people have clicked "like" on one of my posts. The vanity in me would like to know if it's possible to search for which posts have been liked? [/quote] I had a number on mine marked "Good", then it went to "Excellent"; since the new reputation system started the number has increased but I've been relegated to "Good" again. You can be notiofied in your settings to get an email every time someone "approves" you.
