Ah, but counterpositively, there are millions of people on the Internet, and some of them are bound to stumble across the Pub via non-whistle-related means. If a whistler were to link a political discussion from their personal blog, there are people who might click on it, and join in, without ever realizing what the rest of the forums are about.

Not that there's anything to be done about THAT... without having membership be contingent on passing a playing test, or something. :roll:

Axel FOLEY. His last name was FOLEY

I only knew that because I thought it was cool that we shared the same last name at the time

Ha! We caught you!! you will now be relegated to the Poseur Forum until you can pass an advancement test and are found worthy of entry into the Pub level of the Whistle Lodge.

Your Poseur Level apron and regalia can be purchased from the gift shop

Oh mercy! Many of us have serious audition anxiety to the point that the merest mention of anything remotely resembling one causes our hearts to beat faster and our breathing to become shallow.

Dont worry this isnt a video forum (yet). Just get somebody else to sit the test for you.

I never would have thought of that. Thanks!

Because, dear friend, forums turn into steaming piles of sh*t without moderation.

"Not here", you say, "we're all level headed enough to keep it cool."

You see, without moderation, trolls will creep in. All of the threads will be about finging poo and lichen. You doubt, I know your mind.

Look in horror at the future of a board without moderation:

Not here friend, not here.

That link is illuminating.

Save that link to show people when they start complaining. I feel filthy just looking at it. Ugh!!!

Oh, I dunno, Bush bashing, Michael Moore and Mini-Coopers...Just like here!!

Just kidding...but I do think it's ironic that its called "Harmony" Central. The local musicians section of Craig's List has a fair bit of vulgarity and flaming as well. Very unharmonious at times. I guess it's the rock crowd, which says to me, directionless teens trying to find their way.
