I was gone all weekend. Was there some sort of trollfest going on?

I will say this, as a web admin who deals with backend databases there is no reason why it should have been down this long. They could have restored the master db or, since it is just a forum and not really anything particularly valuable money-wise, created a new database. They either have very poor support or they have pulled the plug.

I've always had a fear that since the site is owned by Musician's Friend, that eventually some wiley exec would log into those forums or god forbid, HCAF, and see what was going on there under the company's dime and pull the plug. Hopefully that isn't what has occurred there. All of the other boards have their strenghts and weaknesses, but if they pulled the plug on HC's database server for their forums one it will be a shame because it's brutal honestly will be missed.

I just saw a site that monitors HCAF.

I've been spending less and less time there. I've got a couple of spam deals happening, I think when they're complete I may say bye bye to HC. This place is a ghost town, though, as are a few other sites I go to. The busy sites tend to have a ton of morons, so it seems like a can't win situation. I guess I could turn the computer off and the amp on!

I use TGP for buying and selling, although you have to pay a fee, but it's not much.
 
I've got to be completely honest...I wouldn't be sad to see it go. It's funny, but the night before it crashed, I decided that I was going to make a post that I was leaving the forum because it was seriously cutting into my work productivity. I've got tons of work to do and a backlog of several months worth of work. It's good for me to have that much work, but I need to utilize my time more efficiently and HCAF has become a HUGE distraction that's almost addictive. So it's time for me to say goodbye anyways. Strange coincidence though, eh?

Might not have to now the stock markets are crashing :aww:
 
I'm guessing it'll be back up. I'll probably spend less time there now though. I stopped posting useful stuff months ago. I did get a few deals out of it, as the HCAF posters are the biggest gear flippers I've ever seen in my life.
 
The spam section/threads themselves are worth having a SN over there.

Bought, sold, and traded lots over there.
 
If HC troll tardlets start coming over here, can we kill and eat them? ;)
 
How many times have we heard "I'm done with HCAF, only Rig-Talk for me from now on"

and it never sticks. unless of course you've been banned 45774324324 times

since you guys are headed over here now, bring thinkpad20 with you.

but for god sakes leave some of the tards over there. I'm sure some (lots) of the people here don't like me - but some of the dudes there just piss me off
