First, I would like to thank Xip for sticking it out even when other supporters left our boat when the poll was not in our favor.

Secondly, I would like to give a thanks to zok, acidmelt, and Jeff Hunter for making this forum, despite the outcries from Random_looney saying it would fail.

Finally, IT needs to be stated that the military is not simply grunts, it requires everything civilins have and more. There are al kinds of jobs and opportunities if you know how to find them.

I am pleased to see this finally made it after 4 attempts.

The only person you should thank is jackketch. Without him, it wouldn't have been seen as an option. A decision-making process can be an interesting thing to witness.

I'm not a fan of the military, but a person can discuss anything.

Military, more like, monetary.

From time to time, althought honestly it's been months since I've pick one up.

Any good with the guitar?

Did you prefer a 4 string?

I'm better with the guitar than any other intrument, I've posted a couple of songs in AR&R over the years me noodling around (Jive Talka) but I couldn't name you which one. I never played bass enough to ever develope a legitimate preference (outside of just finding a decent tone). If you're trying to get more information on playing (guitar, bass, whatever) then you should post in our forum, I don't want to derail this thread.

Well unless of course you don't mind. :p

De-rail it it was off topic anyways, Ziggy just rings a name with me for some reason. I am thinking about playing, but I can't afford a decent instrument. :( I played with my friends bass once and after I figured out what was what I could match almost anything.

Can ya move it along, bub? Up next is the award for best score in a short feature/documentary.......and the little red light went on in the crows nest, so your time is up and we need to cue to our sponsors, k?????

Talk about overly dramatic e-asskissery if there ever was some, geez!

despite the outcries from Random_looney saying it would fail.


Well some peeps around here better get to work then if they wanna prove him wrong. You calling this a "sucess" just about 2 days in? Fuck, I see all of 15 threads right now, and am miffed that the mods haven't even attempted to generate more thought provoking and conversation starting threads. Of those 15 I'd say right now exactly TWO are producing the intent of this forum...one titled "Basic", and the other "Basic Resources" (obviously an eventual sticky) you just put up minutes ago. Beyond that, everything else is just more drama mama/flame drivel...or shit that could easily fit somewhere else. As a matter of fact.....

That's more of a political (http://www.totse.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=162) or humanitarian (http://www.totse.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=179) thing.


But if you want to make this a political debate, I'll be glad to discuss it in a thread over in Politics, Left Right and Center.

It seems that certain discussion is purposely guided elsewhere. I guess I'm confused here. If they wanted a forum to be a success....wouldn't just about any decent discourse be encouraged? Of course you can understand that, because with ALL of the topics you have to discuss all things important military that you've just been dying to give to the masses all this time......and here you are already prattling on about something as ponderous as guitar strings not even 48 hours in. And with that I'll wish you all the luck in the world that Eddie Van Halen stops by to help pimp some more hits to this place.

Yup, it's a rousing good time here in Together Town. Just what Totse always needed! :)

Bitching because he is butthurt over the fact he couldn't prevent this forum from being made

Look at clean tech, we have nearly half of the posts minus all of the off topic posts in this thread, nearly half of the threads, and it has only been two days in. I forget when clean tech was made, but it has been around for a while. So if everything follows the same trend in this forum for the first two days, then it will be a success. as for intentional sticky, I don't make threads to get stickied, I make them to generate discussion and provide information based upon my own research and experiences.

So pretty much if you have something you want to complain about we have a forum for it, but don't worry if you keep bitching in the wrong forums you will get infracted sooner or later.

I'll be sure to save some vodka for you when this forum gets more trafic then clean tech, in the mean time I hope you can contribute to a forum instead of complaining about everything. I wish the best for you DaGuru.

Well I can't speak much for basses but I'd assume you can get a decent one for pretty low ($400-600), you could perhaps even borrow one from your friend if you want to get a basic understanding while you save up money.

Hell I'd give you mine, but I let my dad have it.

Better watch out, Daguru might start bitching at you. :rolleyes:

I made a thread ages ago in R&R, I might go make another one.

I'm a mod, I'm used to catching flak :p

But feel free to create a thread asking about basses, you'll probably get more detailed respones than what I can give you.

Ya think? When I said it had been decided in advance, I wasn't joking or hallucinating.

Reading Comprehension FTW! I didn't say it was an "intentional" sticky, instead an OBVIOUS one. Ya know, as in COMPLEMENTING you for actually putting a worthy thread up that WILL eventually be sticky material.....that is if the thread is done right, or this forum is operated properly too. Geez, you are so defensive and testy about all of this....you can't even take a serious kudos without getting all up in arms.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here. I'm not complaining about anything myself, just commenting on the topic that YOU brought to this forum. You started a thread by thanking people, and claiming it is/was going to be succesful. I entered the thread to offer a differing view. That IS the purpose to a message board, ain't it? Because I don't agree with your opinion, does that warrant an infraction? Hell man, go grab an admin or two....this could get REAL fun!!!

So in regard to your topic....as far as things that "needed" to be said here, I don't see what you've brought to us here that was that vital to this forum. And if your thoughts were so weighty that is just HAD to be said here, then they should be able to hold their own against any argument. But instead you spazzed out on me here what with all of your threats about being infracted and you carrying on about being offended because I think one of your threads should be stickied. Chill the fuck out man, its just text on a screen bub...it won't hurt ya, I promise!


I'll be sure to save some vodka for you when this forum gets more trafic then clean tech, in the mean time I hope you can contribute to a forum instead of complaining about everything.

You sure as hell don't aim too high, do ya? Whether you literally or metaphorically start celebrating because the "sucess" of this forum actually surpasses an even worse idea than this one.......either way it's pretty fuckin sad and pathetic. Woohoo you can beat an 80 old one legged man in an ass-kicking contest. Much rejoicing and all that jazz?


As for contributing, as much as you wanted this forum and as hard as you fought.... all you've done so far is post a couple of links and this ego-stroke "celebration" thread. Oops, I forgot about those awesome guitar tips too. And to think if I clicked onto a Military Forum wanting to hear some "rock-n-roll"....I thought I'd be hearing the lovely serenade of an M60 in full auto.

Sitrep is bleak Coup......and its about time you un-assed the AO pronto, for everyone's sake......

That's a bad comparison for several reasons:

1) Half of CT was deleted by MLoR.

2) CT is a cancerous outgrowth of GP, and doesn't really deserve to be a main forum in the first place.

3) Bearing (2) in mind, 'Together We Serve' is quite distinct from anything else on Totse.

4) If, as DaGuru has pointed out, you're aiming for the 'heights' of CT, then, well, I gotta laugh really...

5) There are several threads, this O/T cock-sucking effort of yours included, which should be closed, rather than counted in the list of valid threads so far posted.

B-B-B-But......a guitar string makes a really effective garrote that was an old school way of taking out sentries.

Cmon Slave, in a wild and totally round about way they are most certainly on topic.....ain't they?

Yes yes yes.

A 'career' forum would have been much better. This arrangement is shit.
