Sean Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) I see a lot of people asking where "you-know-who" (real name, Sean) went to and I know that we have had some basschatters sadly pass away over the past couple of years but there are some people, I know who are still out there, not banned and do not post whereas in the past they were quite prolific with posting on here. Do any of you know anyone who falls into this category and if so, why they no longer post? Edited April 21, 2010 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I was only thinking the same myself the other day. You don't see soopercip around much these days. Probably busy with his twins daughters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) People just find other things to do, or quite often other Forums. When i first got onto the web i was a regular over at Shrereactor.com (remember that one edonkey or emule p2p users?) and posted thousands of messages over two years. I also used to be a big regular over at [url="http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/index.php"]mig welding diy co,uk[/url] as I have several welding rigs, but nowerdays only pop in every week or two, although often read posts there without posting. With that forum however you can tell the last time a person logged in. Can you do that here ? Edited April 21, 2010 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm still in regular touch with one of the most prolific posters we've ever had on Bassworld and Basschat and he's now concentrating on piano and other interests and rarely touches his bass. His piano playing has improved hugely and it sounds like a different person playing to what it was a year ago. I guess, as others have said, we just change our interests and move on.

Happy Jack Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I don't know if there's a "proper" name for it, but [i][b]Forum Fatigue[/b][/i] does seem to be an issue. If you spend enough time on any Forum, you reach the stage where the cumulative effect of posts by the small number of people you consider to be dickheads starts to out-weigh the good stuff by all those whose opinion you respect. Besides, by then the chances are that you've started to make friends with some of these good people out in the real world. For me, Basschat got dangerously near the edge at one point last year. There were some very nasty under-currents around, and some Members seemed to exist only to provoke and belittle others. I'm seeing less of that now, but maybe that's because I'm not posting as much as I did then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where is Phil_the_bassist? Is a little odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
