vejesse Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Hi folks. I see there's a banner at the top of the screen asking me if I think The US attorney general should be impeached. Has this forum turned into a sounding board for the Tea Party, or is this just a random ad that popped up? This may be the wrong place for this discussion but now I'm now wondering why the Heritage Guitar discussion page has decided to add it's voice to the polarization of US politics. What gives?
pegleg32 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 In general, politics are not discussed here. Once in awhile, there is a slight slip and maybe a hint of a political view. But I usually get shushed up pretty quickly.
Guest HRB853370 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 You talka politica and youa posta be trashed!
mars_hall Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Any popups or banners that are possible only appear before logging in to my understanding. They are not internal to the forum and I have often wondered how they got there also and presume they are part of the IP.Board software kit. Then again I use Firefox with Adblock Plus and this may also be factor in why I haven't seen anything inside.
vejesse Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 So the ads come from the people who host the site?
barrymclark Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I seriously reduced my patronage to this forum a couple years back due to political discussion. I can say political mention is rare and very, very brief and you can count on me to not join that discussion.
mars_hall Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 So the ads come from the people who host the site? I could be wrong but having spent all of 5 minutes looking it up, I think the ads are pulled from some default location within the forum software itself (IP.Board). It can be configured to pull from other places.
bolero Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 things seem to run smoother without polical or religious arguments
barrymclark Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I actually don't see a banner at all.... rather happy about that.
the jayce Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Never understood why so many people get upset about politics, both parties never get anything done because of eachother! always has been that way and always will be....... do not kid your self and think otherwise,,,, it is that cut and dry. Religion on the otherhand is better left in the privacy of the individual. Politics is a joke and should be laughed upon and not considered important enough to debate. Now lets get back to somthing really important and worthy of thought and discussion......Heritage"s!
schundog Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah, people think politics and religion are "hot button" topics; No Way. You wanna talk "HOT BUTTON?!" Bring us the "Maple VS Rosewood fretboard" argument to Fender guy.... Then stand back.....

tbonesullivan Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Uh oh. what's the beef against the RW fenders? Maybe we don't wan to deal with the fingerboard finish wearing off.
barrymclark Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Heck there is no argument here, it has to be maple or it's not a Fender. That's right. It's even better! It's a G&L!
koula901 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 you wanna talk "HOT BUTTON?!" Bring us the "Maple VS Rosewood fretboard" argument to Fender guy.... Then stand back..... : ) HA!
golferwave Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I had to sign back in to the forum this morning and before I did there was a (gasp) gbrand banner at the top of the page. If you stay signed in you don't have to see that stuff.
rjsanders Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Heck there is no argument here, it has to be maple or it's not a Fender. check yr avatar, bud

tulk1 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I personally like ebony. On a Fender?!?!? Are you crazy? .......... sorry, just wanted to be part of the political scene.
