A classic just for those of you who wonder what the Forum was like way back when. A disgruntled Chiffster, who quit the Forum right before the lockdown, thought it was time to revive this beauty. But no, I do not plan to revive "Farewell Friends and Morons."
How do you prepare for the end of the world?

They're all in one sticky forum. Click on "Chiff and Fipple Forums Forum Index" and you'll see them. Just above the flute forum. Or, if you can't be bothered, here they are: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewforum.php?f=1jGilder wrote:I think all whistle topics should be on one sticky thread.

I started off reading the first page thinking, "Wow, nice to see Bob around again, what crawled up his sleeve?"
and "Steve Power's back! Steve Power??!!"
It's then I checked the date and realised it's from 2002...
I reflected on the fact that I must have read that thread before
and that I've been visiting this board almost daily for 5 years....
I have a life.
It just has Chiff and Fipple in it

There have been some other great flame threads. Remember the good old "station" threads? What about Talbot? And the more recent CD flames?
Then of course the never ending political flamewars. Adds a bit of spice I'd say.
I'm no longer trying a new posting paradigm

Actually, to economise my Chiff-time I started to avoid all political, religious or otherwise heated topics and instead focusing entirely upon threads about music, whistles, flutes and general silliness.
Especially the silliness...

Hmmm... Not everyone who shares an experience is necessarily trying to hog attention ... sometimes people are just affirming anothers' experience by giving corroborating evidence.Whistleworks wrote:My friends,
I haven't posted or even stopped to read anything on this site for several months. The reason is because of the flame wars and the shallow comments made by so many. Granted, there are a few out there who continue to post to this site and respond with lovely words which are always appropriate.
A person who calls themselves "chance" posted a recent note about his or her being recognized as a whistle player. I thought that it is always wonderful when someone singles you out for your instrument or the type of music that you play. But as I read the responses to the post, I found what I was expecting. There were not a lot of responses that would tell "chance" that the experience was great and how fortunate it is to be recognized, but many (not all) of the responses turned their comments inward about themselves, and not one word about how great "chance's" experience was.
Oh, I won't be like some and just flame away and say "I've had it" and never return to this website, but I do not nor will I ever care about those who will no doubt be critical with me regarding this posting.
I expected better, but what I read confirmed that nothing has changed.
So for those who have more mirrors in their homes than necessary, be as critical as you like. It will only publically display your continued insensitivity toward others.
But for those who told "chance" that her being recognized or singled out was a very good thing, I applaud you. You are the exception here.

Well, I wasn't really wondering what the forum was like way way back when. I miss the political stuff scattered about here and there, even though I hardly read it. So a few weeks ago was way back when to me!
I need to check the dates on things before I start reading them :roll: .

I miss the political stuff scattered about here and there too. But look on the bright side; the people who just like the "silliness" won't become disoriented and are able to find the threads they enjoy now without getting lost.Cynth wrote:Well, I wasn't really wondering what the forum was like way way back when.
