BP's Guide to Surfing the EB FORUM

[Big Poppa]

Hello Kids!

I notice that there are a lot of threads that get pretty funny that have a narrow viewing audience. I also notice that some people have posted, "WOW, 187 people online!" But I check and there are 500at that time. The reason I figure is that most of you just either go to the bass side or the guitar side. In the beginning the guitar side had the best stuff and the bass side was a bunch of guys with not enough intellect to handle 6 strings. But they are coming around and some of them are even housebroken!
Here's how I get the most out of this viral thing :

Stumble out of bed.

change my depends. Just kidding...

Try to figure out where I am and start crawling for the expresso machine.

Flip life fluid machine on

Plop in front of the Laptop and hit EBForums Main Page.

First I hit 'quick links' and see how namy people we have online. WHen I started posting we had between 40-60 and now it is usually over 500. THis has really grown and I am really proud of the shape this thing is in. we have the pest posters and mods going.

Then I hit New Posts and scan them all.

Try it! It's almost harmless!

ALMOST harmless is the operative word here.............

What kind of espresso machine do you have? I've been looking at buying one recently but know nothing about the things.

 

[beej]

I dunno ... trying to change my surfing habits here is pretty crazy ...

Actually that's great advice. I find I usualy stick to the guitar forum and often miss the action on the others.

I find myself venturing over to the fat string side every now and then. They can be quite amusing over there...

And this really is one of the best places to hang out. My wife is starting to wonder though with the recipe swapping and everything...

I told her to check it out, Koogies wife did and then she joined!

Don't tell my wife I am surfing on the Ernie Ball Forum, she thinks I am lurking on a XXX site

Ewe
You sit around in stinky depends?

 

[Big Poppa]

Where in the process do you read PM's?

 

[kbaim]

I'm not sure if others do this too...but if BP is indicated as the most recent poster on a particualr guitar thread, I usually end up there first.

I either laugh or learn something. I also seem to enjoy Beej on anything tech wise, and Norm because he's funny in kind of a bizarre way that seems to make sense.

Ok, so I know NorM and kbaim qualify as pest posters.... I'm tryin to join that club. Maybe tomorrow, when I hit 2000 posts

Yesterday I was messing with the forum settings and found the option to show Who's Online on the main page. I turned that setting on. Of course it only shows who's online and not what they are looking at. It's not sufficient for true stalkers

 

[beej]

No, for that you have to use the Force.

 

[NorM]

High praise indeed.

Beej is a great teacher.
Keith is an "I didn't think of that" kind of funny that I love.
Mr. Green is my favorite for humor.
I like it when jon brings the smack down but I don't think that happens enough almost like he's on a leash.
I also like it when BP gets mad cause he has to express it without offending anyone. That's why I don't mind being his personal whipping post. Do your worst.


Pete,
What is a pest poster? Is there something there that could be improved on?

What am I suppose to take away from this thread? Follow BP's example and do as he says he does?

Don't tell my wife I am surfing on the Ernie Ball Forum, she thinks I am lurking on a XXX site

the XXX site is less of a threat to the checking account.

BP, I tend to right to the Guitar side, but that's only because that's what I have bookmarked. Then I head over to the "New Posts" page and scan as well. Finally, I like to see who's online and reading what. Finally, I look at the numbers to see the total of members and lurkers. I scan what the lurkers are reading, it aways seems to be the sparkle finish threads?? Hahahahahahahahaha

I only posted here because I want to make sure Mr. Koogs doesn't do something he said he wouldn't do. Also, I buy all his guitars and bases. So, I guess that is a good thing?

Mrs Koog - did I mention Austin is a smoke screen...

He's coming to London to meet me, we are going to base jump the London Eye, St Pauls, Big Ben and Nelson's Column.

I'm hurt - you didnt mention me in the list for being INSANE

(Still not sure why I got that tag..... )

I hope he brakes his legs or better yet, make sure the insurenace is paid up. Anyone want his guitar stuff if he does that, I will give it away. I don't need it.
