Tedster Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Now, wait a minute...I know all of us Python freaks are dying to sing our songs...but...this sounds like it could be a useful site. Kind of a "Consumer Reports". After all, who wouldn't like to be able to do price comparisons on our favorite gear? But, we all know that this is really...

Steve LeBlanc Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Seemed like a pretty good idea...site is attractive enough but are your servers ready? I browsed a bit before it just stopped working...now I can't even connect to your site. Also...is this site really consumer minded...seems more like a big advertisment for the larger companies to me. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHAN Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Ted, I thought since Gearbeat had four posts listed, I'd do a search before I would start singing. Here's what I found: >>>Topic Name Date Forum/Archive New Music Gear Web Site, Gearbeat.com, Launched Gearbeat 06-14-2001 The Bass Station New Music Gear Website, Gearbeat.com, Launched Gearbeat 06-14-2001 Drum Talk New Music Gear Web Site, Gearbeat.com, Launched Gearbeat 06-14-2001 The Keyboard Corner New Music Gear Web Site, Gearbeat.com, Launched Gearbeat 06-14-2001 Guitar Forum ------------------------------------------------------ We all live in a Yellow Spam Machine....

michael saulnier Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Well I thought I'd see how "tasty" the spam really was so I clicked the link to gearbeat.com and well... it's been FIVE MINUTES loading the first screen with a Cable Modem... and it's not half way done. Either the spam is getting them TENS OF THOUSANDS of reply's... OR... they don't know how or where to host their site... OR... maybe some "anti-spam" hacker / musician type is hitting them with a nice "denial of service" attack. Oh, I hope it's the third one!!! In any case... I'm too bored to wait anymore...

djarrett Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Considering that the cool portion of the content I found on Gearbeat came from (um ... was borrowed from?) MusicPlayer.com ...

Tedster Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Shhh...Rob...(whispers) don't get too upset. I've snuck over to Dendy's forum a couple of times...I even mentioned (horrified gasp) a GUITAR related topic, and Dendy was kind enough to forgive me.
