Bassists of the '60's Club.

There's been a drop since the software upgrade. Some people dislike or couldn't cope with the changes. Some didn't want to wait for things to get sorted. Others just don't like change. There's also a lot of malaise in the world in general. While traffic is down, most of the threads I'm involved in are still healthy.

For the record, there was no judginess in that post. If it came off that way, please accept my apologies. Everyone has their own reactions and reasons for things. There are certainly thing I hate change in.

Particularly TBird Club. Go to the kitchen, come back and yer three pages behind.
I didn't/don't like some of the changes, but I found ways to navigate the site that may not be the intended method, but it works-usually-for me. And since I have almost no life other than TB...

I can't help but think that most of us in/on this thread are in agreement that the 60's bassists laid the groundwork-and the groove(s)-for some of the best music ever made. So often they were uncredited by being members of the house bands of various labels. It's only been due to research by a few folks that we've learned, often long after they retired/died/whatever, the names of 'our heroes'. Some, if they were a part of a band, were known; but many of the studio players weren't. This thread has answered a lotta questions about who played behind artists who got all the credit, but who-without those basslines-would've never achieved the fame they got.

Is it me or has there been a significant drop in TB activity over the last several months? May be just my imagination but what I used to see as pretty busy traffic -- sometimes in fits and starts -- seems to have dwindled to just a post here and there over the half dozen or so threads I dabble in. I have to wonder if it's at all related to the change in TP site a few months back or if everybody is just getting tired. Or they've said all they have to say.

The end result from it is that it is somewhat less fun than before in most of the threads I frequent - some key member / friends either post less or have dropped completely off the site, it's less intuitive to find things, the Classifieds is a tragedy, and for those and other reasons people, myself included, has resulted in a natural slow disconnect.

It just feels like a 1990s suburban mall that used to be always crowded that now has a lot of shops closed and less foot traffic.

I do continue to monitor most of my top 20-something threads, but finding new things just doesn't come as naturally as before, despite efforts to acclimate to the changes. Odd as other websites don't seem to have this issue.

It's also driven me and I'm sure others to other sites, so forum time is more split than before.

Hope the site doesn't go away as a result, that would be awful. Threads can come and go, but sites don't usually.

I'll still be around, but like the mall analogy, am doing more shopping online.

'Zackly. I try to keep up with ~9 threads-to varying degrees of success. Sometimes the lack of 'notifications' causes me to forget 1 or 2. Then I have to click "Watched Threads"* to see what I've missed. On some of them, it'll be 'quiet' for a while followed by a flurry then back to quiet.
And recent happenings may have created distractions. ;)

*For those not familiar: Go to "Your Account" at the top of the page. Under "Your Account", click "Alerts"(latest posts); "Watched Threads(whatever you 'watch'); or "Your Conversations".
