badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

you joke, but...
I found a thread for this in a Harley-Davidson forum and one of the responses opened with
beyond parody
At least there's one person in there who at least kinda gets it:
You could swap βHarleyβ for βGibsonβ and it would all still be true.
Never been much of a gearhead, so I wasn't even aware there was Gibson discourse! Are sales of Epiphones/Gibsons on the decline? They're nice guitars, I suppose, but I prefer a thinner neck myself.
Yeah, QC on Gibsons has been real bad recently, management doesnt know how to run the place, they cement tjeir reputation as the dentist's brand by putting out expensive signatures, and the quality of epiphone is bypassing the Gibsons theyre meant to be cheap copies of
The good thing about guitars is that there's no shortage of really good ones on the secondary market that have just been in storage for twenty years and need to be cleaned up a bit. At least that was the case when I bought my last one threeish years ago.
Not sure about sales, but Gibson pretty heavily markets on the boomer nostalgia/βprestigeβ factor. Their line up is stale, the donβt adjust for modern specs and features younger guitarists are looking for. Theyβre not bad guitars, but the prices are inflated relative to the quality.
Perfect example, they recently released a recreation of the β59 humbuckers, for a thousand dollars. Not a whole guitar, just pickups. Thereβs no good reason for pickup set to be over like $400, maybe $500 dollars .
They're kinda crap quality and appeal to all the Clapton stans mostly
I thought that asshole played a fender?
Yep, he's a Strat guy
Oh my god, that man isn't dead yet? He was already firmly cemented as being Dad Music in the 80's, even before he became a world-renowned child safety expert.
