Happy Jack Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) So ... what's that all about then? Now exists as a sort of parallel mini-forum where people post Items Wanted ads, questions about effects pedals, comments about equipment, etc. I have no interest in being informed of what people had for breakfast or how they're feeling this morning (although I do look forward to the latest update from Les and his curious determination to spell doner kebab with two 'n's) but surely almost all the tosh that turns up in Recent Status Updates is neither related to status nor an update?

Roland Rock Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I posted there recently as I had seen something which was not quite new-threadworthy and didn't fit in any existing threads. I fear for Les' arteries! To be fair, "donner" is forgivable as it is pronounced that way* * aka bugger I thought it was spelled that way too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number6 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What if their current status is "I really want to buy a 5 string whatever bass" ? That could indeed be a status but it could also be a wanted add..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
