Thundersteel Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I quit my membership in the HOC today. I wrote a single post in a long, continuing thread how I felt about the seemingly increasing amount of censorship over there. I also stated my Moderator "powers" were taken away without warning or reason when the new regime was put in charge.The entire thread was deleted. Again, no warning, no reason, and no comments from either the Administrator or his minions, though one Mod said it wasn't him.That was the last straw for me. I will no longer be a member of a club that won't let the membership speak up without fear of reprisal. I'm done!Oh yeah: fucktards! (Can't say that over there!)
bubs_42 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 That is that, more time to devote here with memebers and mods loyal to the cause.
Thundersteel Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Just saw this--the HOC is shutting down! Community Going DarkPosted by AdministratorWe had a good run, but it looks like it's over.I've disabled all of the forums, but left the board active for a short period as I was reminded that several members have deals going on in the background and their only means of contact currently is via PM here. You should all still be able to use the PM function. I encourage you to make arrangements for contact outside of the board as it will be shut down permanently in the near future.That's all, folks!
Steve Haynie Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 This could be the opportunity to start something new for Heritage fans. Purchasing good message board software and finding a good set of moderators is the hardest part.

Ting Ho Dung Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Looks like the HFC is the only forum where adults are treated like adults. So welcome Heritage Exiles.
Ting Ho Dung Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 This could be the opportunity to start something new for Heritage fans. Purchasing good message board software and finding a good set of moderators is the hardest part. Just did!! I am now ruler of my own universe!! lol Heritageexiles.com and heritageownersexiles.comI like heritageownersexiles.com cause it looks like Heritage owner sex lies . com lol
Hamerica Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Looks like the HFC is the only forum where adults are treated like adults. So welcome Heritage Exiles.Welcome
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 ...but if you're going to hang here, you gotta realize the Heritage headstocks are fugly.Just sayin'
sixesandsevens Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Seriously? They kicked Brent out? I don't think I've ever seen such fan of Heritage guitars!
memphis Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I too am a HOC member, and have no idea what is going on. I knew of the tragedy surroung Brent's exit (although I have no idea why that happened...and don't really care to) but I do know that he was a HUGE contributor to the community over there. Maybe it stems from that, or some other, underlying cause. It's a shame that all that information will be lost. There were a lot of great posts over there. BUt...........the Hamer board was always more fun!!
BlueRedWhite Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Looks like the HFC is the only forum where adults are treated like adults. So welcome Heritage Exiles. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! We need blankets and hot coffee for those mofos.... Seriously, welcome to the best forum on the web, don't fuck it

I would hope they could at lease leave the forum up and just lock everything down so we can at least search the information.
diablo175 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I'll offer a consolatory, "Welcome" and "Sorry your forum went tits up." However, that's all I can muster, given the appalling lack of Floyded Heritages.
Thundersteel Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Hey, a lot of the Heritages DID have Floyds on them. Well, they were sprayed by a guy named Floyd...
mattjayworker Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome Thundersteal! I had kinda fallen asleep at the wheel back at the HOC with my 2nd go around as Redsand. The whole scene is bittersweet for me.Looks like I need to start saving up for a a Hamer now!

(Can't say that over there!)That's also why I asked to be removed as a mod over there, too much censorship, with no warning, no explanation. I will miss the HOC for sure, but not the bs, haven't been on there in six months. Seems any incidence of the use of " language" had become a ban-able offence lately.I only found out about Brents banning today, I mean ... WTF !!!!
TBP Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Sorry that it's come to that. I also posted over there on occasion and found some good information there. Until the last few weeks there seemed to be a strong community as well, but I've been kind of an irregular/outsider so I wasn't privy to all the personality dynamics (with which I was okay).
diablo175 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Hey, a lot of the Heritages DID have Floyds on them. Well, they were sprayed by a guy named Floyd... Nope, doesn't count. Next thing you know, you'll be telling me that some had Kahlers on 'em.
