The AudioGalaxy influx, affect on The Cellar

Overall what are your feelings?

My feelings are that you really can stop creating new threads to talk about this.

There are plenty of existing threads where you can beat this dead horse a little more.

That was going to be a choice too, I just thought 6 was enough.

Well, people seem to enjoy beating this dead horse. Here Steve is, trying to fit in by joing the dead-horse-beating crowd, and look at how his efforts are appreciated. You just can't win.

:smashfrea :

:stickpoke:

I really thought this post could be the LAST one about it. What better way to wrap up a subject than with a poll?

:thankyou:

They came in like cowboys galloping through town, which, IMHO, is a little crass. Proving something by being obnoxious isn't necessary. Now, they've mostly settled down, and I've read some posts that have been interesting and shown some insight. Some of the AG folks need to just be who they are, and not tell us who they're trying to be.

If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I am comfortable with myself. I like me.

Let me change my vote on the "ignore list" poll.:p

hahaha! (at a lot of these posts actually)

Im not an Ancient, so I can't speculate an overall accurate affect, on their behalf... So I Aint voting.

I knew there was trouble, right here in CellarCity.... That's why I came in guns blazing.. Not wanting to start trouble, not mind gahoofing about abit.. Thats why I stated the obvious... " resistance is futile" (ok i didn't exactly say that) I think was poking fun at ourselves with the "galaxy" theme ie. "Alien Invasion"

If I had been at the forefront, maybe my approach would have been diff, but by the time I got any smoke signals, the AG group was pretty much on the negative sliding scale with the Ancients... I just wanted draw out the ones with the most "issues" or "attitudes"... But WTF, that's me at the AG realm also... That looney bin has many many subcultures via the boards.. Thousands of AGers are cluesless as to who other boardies are...

Steveevil, you never include "beer" or "boobs" in your damn polls.
Dammit get it right!

You really don't need to wrap it up Steve. These things have a way of wrapping themselves up, and my feeling is that you could well end up achieving the opposite of what you want. You'll just remind what a PITA your arrival was for the majority here - and just when things are settling down, as well...

It's pretty clear that the Cellar will happily welcome new members who don't try to turn the place upside down and who make a positive contribution. New ideas that prove interesting and worthwhile are always welcomed and there's some good stuff you've introduced that we didn't have before.

Everyone seems to be getting along fine. So, do you really need another poll to prove that everything is generally OK? Isn't that something that is speaking for itself?

Just my view - I don't need to vote any more - my vote will come by continuing to join in with the posts you and your friends make that interest me. I'm sure others will do the same. What better endorsement could you have?

Of course, you'd be guessing as to what it is exactly that he wants.

Occasionally, one has to make intuitive guesses - and trust that the risk of being wrong will not prove life-threatening...

*walks to fridge to get Old Milwaulkiees Best*

Hey, its cheap, but its Miller Time...

Hey, Old Timers (ie: AG invaders that been here for weeks) do they allow brewskies in coffee houses... ?


I'm starting up the grill with pecan wood for smoke, and am cooking up some Cajun Sausauge, Bell Peppers, and Onions...

In the meantime I'll ask..

What the heck do you want Steveee?


ok, that's it for me, for now,.... in this pollfest.

The AGers remain an assimilating immigrant population. I'm a little concerned that none have participated in the general interest World Landmarks Field of 64. Like the existence of this thread it is evidence that the assimilation is incomplete. We hope the French muslims do not riot and start burning threads at random.

However, several AGers have shown a great deal of promise IMO. The funny ones and the ones who understand the dynamic and the whole deal. Dev of AG for example... I wait patiently for the time when Dev asks me to remove the "of AG" part of the name, and I hope that time comes.

No, I guess I'd be happy to be the last one to start an AG'er thread. That's why I figured it had to be something different, like a poll. Even if this thread makes the old timers cringe, it could (and should?) be the last post on the subject.

But I don't care if they cringe or if anyone is annoyed by this or any thread I make. I may even annoy the other AGer/now Dwellars. But you know, to me its...

you know.

I don't know what a "Field of 64" is.

I'm not familiar with that terminology.

hahahahahahahahaha,

I don't even think he's using "Dev" at some of the other boards we invaded...

He'll probly change it .

So this is what you do for entertainment.

Nice.

Couldn't you go back to cockfighting or ripping the wings off flies?

You can't change your own name, you have to either start a new account or ask me to rename the account.

Field of 64: doesn't the link explain it all in a picture? Each "match" is voted on, best-2-out-of-3 in the thread. I thought it was pretty evident what the game was if one read the thread?

I really do like this place.

Steveee be nice to your cock

I am not familiar with the terminology "Field of 64"

I would like to have the time to read everything, but I am a very busy guy.

GEEZE everything is SO "LITERAL" ... lol, i didn't mean he had POWER over you to change his name,.... He'd probly would change it, its NO big deal..

Speaking of which, could you make the "b" into a capital letter "B" in my name?

thanks,
its nice to see a screen-name or user who introduces themself as the man with the power.
Howdy Undertoad,
Im Tiddybaby,... soon maybe to be TiddyBaby.
(don't hit on me Im a dude)

That's the point of the "Field of 64" thread......quick and easy. UT thought you might enjoy it but apparently you haven't bothered to look at it.

Oh, that's a collective you, by the way. :)

.. busy doesn't always mean productive - I can recommend a good time-management course to help you out so you have the chance to do more in less time....

Don't assume. I read it. I'm not interested in the "world landmark" part. I wish I was here when it was the movie "Field of 64".

Hahaha! Good one!

hell, Im scared to get out into the "serious" threads.

But, hey... as long as they aren't copy/pasting miles of redundant hype off of other websites,... I'd be interested in their thoughts.

Yes. Too busy bumping the shit out of your crappy threads, to read anyone else's for five minutes to get the hang of of the place.

Don't wish to frighten you further, but just wait 'til you see the size of my clipboard - I've been told it's quite impressive, and it might just change your mind about that....

I would like that very much... I no longer wish to be associated with the "AG" burden... I was the first to sign on here and only used the "AG" as a means of letting others know it was alright to step outside the norm...

just plain ole Dev would be great but there is already one registered...

"Stevonez" is a name I've used in the past... the first guitar I got some fifteen years ago was an Ibanez... my name is Stevon... thus I put the two together and became online user Stevonez...

I'd be willing to take this name again if at all possible... thanks... :)

It is done! :thumb2:

@Stevonez: Doesn't Ibanez make the Steve Vai seven-string guitar?

thanks again UT... feels better already... :D

Flint wrote:

@Stevonez: Doesn't Ibanez make the Steve Vai seven-string guitar?

I checked with my good friends at google and they confirmed your thoughts...

Solidbody Electric Seven-String Guitars
The solid-body electric sevenstring guitar first entered production in 1990, with the introduction of Steve Vai's Ibanez signature model, the Ibanez Universe. At the time, Vai was heavily into numerology, and in particular was drawn to the number 7. Apparently unaware of prior experimentation with additonal strings in the jazz world, Vai was drawn to the idea for much the same reasons seven string jazz players were - the extended range the additonal string offered. After initial experimentation with a high A, a low B was added as the high A proved to be too prone to breaking (George Lynch was experimenting with seven string designs independently at this time as well, also tuned to high A, but opted not to pursue development largely due to issues with an experimental moveable pickup system). Vai began touring with Whitesnake with a seven string prototype, and then used the guitars heavily on what is considered to be a landmark instrumental rock album, his 1990 release "Passion and Warfare."...

Yeah, well. I play a Gibson.

By the way...it's "effect', not "affect".

Passion And Warfare is undoubtedly one of my favorite albums of all time. A fantastic display of technically challenging instrumental music and studio wizardy.

I was just thinking the same thing... I had the tape at one time but think that was one of the ones that got stolen out of my car back in the early nineties... I'd like to hear it again and may go off and look for it now...

@Stevonez: I think I've bought that CD at least three times in my life!

I just bought it again also... and two different others to get the free shipping deal...

Thanks for explaining that... I saw it in another thread before I read this one and I assumed it had something to do with the French word for nose (nez).:redface:

although we do have a "Noso" about on here... :p

glad to have cleared that up by the way...

Speaking of which, somebody plagarized my username on SoundChain. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I guess I should take that as a compliment.

(To clarify: somebody registered as NosotrosFlintamos. I have subsequently created the Flint account.)

:right:

yeah... I saw that thread... that's when I decided I better make this user name over there when I had the chance...

Interestingly enough (well, that depends upon your interest in the info I suppose) son of the original Gibson still makes the guitars and lives near Hampton Court in the south east of England. A few years back, in between redundancies, I worked for a few weeks at the sharp end for a pal who ran a collect and deliver ironing service. Gibson was one of his regulars. Decent chap, real down to earth sort - one of the nicer customers...:bass:

Music manufacturer trivia: although modern cymbals are refered to as Turkish style cymbals, largely because of the old Zildjan Turkish K-Series cymbals popularized by jazz artists, the Zildjan family is actually Armenian. The Zildjan family moved to Americas as candy makers, but the Zildjan cymbal making tradition, which goes back almost 400 years, was brought back right in time for the explosion of the jazz scene, they pushed each other along. Also, regarding Armenia, the band System Of A Down is from there.

:)
I now own five guitars... haven't willed myself to spend the money for a gibson but this was my latest purchase from Musicians Friend... it's a nice guitar and one of only so many made...

I'm buying a house with a 750 square foot detached garage, which I will sound-insulate, install a window unit A/C, and use as my drum paradise. I have mountains of drum and percussion junk, and several complete kits. I just bought this snare drum http://www.rockinn.co.jp/shopping/drum/snare/images/pearl_sf1465.jpg and a hydraulic drum throne.

Surely, somewhere in the vast abyss that is the internet, there is a home more appropriate for some of the AG dwellers.

To put it crudely, some seem to take too much delight in making a complete ass of themselves...oh, well it seems joscher was banned, so no more story there.

I like it when new people come along and make a positive contribution that leads to the growth of this board.

I hate it when new people come along thinking that they are going to be god's gift to this board and fall woefully short of their ambitions.

I'm still taking a wait and see attitude.

Still a dwellar newbie myself.......RS

Is this because you don't like us?

Assumptions, assumptions. There are plenty of forums started by AGers, and several of the AGers choosing to post here are also, simultaneously, choosing to post on these, and other, forums. All this without your help.

So, again, the question is why are you here?

No, the question is why are you here? See how that works?

I already answered that question. Use Search on my user name. It might be enlightening.

You're interested in Gwen? Consider me enlightened.

I haven't read enough of your stuff to know. I just seem to skip those threads all the time. Yet, here I am procrastinating from other things, using this forum as a chat room to argue nonsense with you. How ironic is that? I should just go watch some mindless TV show. "Charmed", god I love Alyssa Milano.

Alyssa Milano? I like her too. That's not good "argument material" at all.

Poison Ivy II: Lily

ok, now you horny bastards have gone and done it...

Ya got to get the movie where she's involved with vampires... Plenty of nude and topless scenes.

Embrace of the Vampire.

oh and I still haven't received my free :morncoff: mug...

I feel that the influx of AG people will help expand the Cellar community. If the newcomers follow the rules they should be welcomed.
