"AND maintain an up to date website, no excuses."

Im sorry that you didnt like Dargin dropping the tread lightly comment. Not flaming but make sure that you are equally sensitive with your posts as you are with someones responses.

Re read the thread. No one here asked for any input as far as our priorities. MOst of the"gifts" of critisism were poorly wrapped. I doubt that many of you "business consultants and critics" would have said anything like that to my face. You probably would have expressed the desire for a new website and I would have once again explained That it is on the way.

Even Jack decided to show you guys he was his own man with the BP Mafia and the BIff Posse comments. Im proud of you Jack.

Im fine with the statement that we need a new website. Im fine with expressing dissapointment that it is delayed. I know we need to update.
I have over 100K invested in the update. I contribute here to compensate for the outdated website. Very soon you will get everything you want.

I like that. If I came across as insensitive then I must apologise. It wasn't my intention and generally I'm not. I am a very open person also and that doesn't sit well with everyone.

I value your reply as the boss of EB. You show your committment to the product through your forum and your interaction with the customer. That's pretty rare nowadays.

Walk into a gym, find the fattest guy on a treadmill and tell him he needs to lose weight. I don't see how that is constructive criticism, poorly wrapped or not. Offering your services as a personal trainer or at least asking his goals and progress seems the better options...

Im sorry it "sucks" for you maybe we should replace this forum with a website that doesnt suck.....THere is just not enough information here on a daily basis and we want everything!

I apologize BP. I really didn't mean to start anything. I just wanted to know how long the dual pup rays were out and when we might see them on the site. If I offended anyone or hit a sore spot I'm really sorry.
My use of the word "sucks" was out of line. I love the forum. I love My SR5. I'm going to be getting another. Wow, I don't know what to say except sorry

Don't worry, Rick. It's happened before and it will no doubt happen again, and we all get over it and go back to slobbering over the basses.

This could be a cautionary tale about how good it is to use the 'search' function when you're looking for information....or wondering if you're beating a dead horse...or hoping not to stick your foot in your mouth.....but I know I'm living in a dream world.

Rick you didnt...you asked a question that a few freedom of speech/business critics decided to hijack.

Thanks BP and Bovine I just hope you understand that I know how hard you all are working and still find time for the head honcho to come here and communicate with us directly. I don't know anywhere else you can get that.

I only visit the bass forum and I have a great time here, thanks BP! :D


+1 to that!

I've got an imagination, it isnt to hard to work out what something would look like. Plus there is the picture gallery thread with just over 1000 posts and that is a great help also.

also google image search comes in handy :D

I agree that a new website would be great, all new things are nice, but i think i can survive with what BP has generously contributed here in the shape of this forum, which i can happily say is the first forum i have found on the net where i can talk about something im keenly interested in and not be insulted or shot down by rude, ignorant 12 yr olds.

so thats great to hear that something new is on the way, i look forweard to it, but thanks also for what we've got here!

I've never heard of any place where the little guy can come and communicate and hear info directly from the boss. Its absolutely fantastic

Yeah it feels much better to get shot down by the nepotism prince and his ex spook right hand moderator.
