... or how about a song?

NOT really related to this issue, but kind of......

How about a NOOBIE WELCOME PAGE? Something like NEW MEMBERS START HERE kind of thread?....ALL NEW MEMBERS START in ONE PLACE for all to see. I don't think it will solve this problem, but I'd like to have one place to see/welcome the noobs.

How about you in a welcoming video?!

Perfect!

Perfect!

Dredging up 8 year old threads and saying "Happy Birthday!" on 9 or 10 old birthday threads is lame and annoying.

Until it gives me access to buy your ric.

Like that's going to happen now.

Oh, we don't sell Ric's here. We trade them like baseball cards, and you need 10 to get started.

Another possible "noobie welcome" thing could be an introductory PM or e-mail ... I have seen this for some of the technical websites I have signed up at.

Yes. Yes, I thought we might hit that little snag

"Snag?", I see no snag!

Well, I'm afraid I do.

Oh really

Well – it's just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that we are going to – what is the phrase – 'Be quiet.' I am afraid that we are not going to at all, Jordan. we have absolutely no intention of letting you buy any of our guitars. we can ban you, of course – but what a waste of time, and frankly, I could think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing. such as putting you on the newly registered members group again, which means you can't access the marketplace. regardless to the amount of posts.

And now in all seriousness: The whole idea of the 30 posts rule was to let the membmers an option to evaluate a new member before they sell anything to him or buy from him, I actually never liked this rule very much as I thought it's really easy to sneak in 30 posts and be a "respected" member, I assumed no one would intentionally unmask his foul intentions and you just showed me how wrong I was.

Thank you, Gil!

I like rics plain and simple. I like to see them, maybe even buy one. I subscribed to the forum.

Just be careful young man if you wish to remain a member of this forum. Your attitude and lack of respect is self evident and I suspect those less than flattering attributes will eventually get you into hot water.

Philip, this forum is about a whole lot more than buying and selling Rickenbackers, we actually are a world wide community, family, whatever you want to call it. We all have a genuine interest in the camaraderie and friendships that have grown due the RRF's existence, not just the nuts and bolts of musical instruments. Keep in mind that respect and trust are hard to earn but even harder to regain if lost. So far, you have earned neither from this forum with your attitude and actions.

[winston]

Thanks Jeff. As always you are spot on with your assessment.

Pointless discussion, fellas.

'Bye, Philip. Don't let the door hit you on the a s s on the way out!
